That is exactly it, yes. And I am thinking about reaching out to them about it and their blocklist. But after thinking about it, anyone with $16 in hosting can start an AI hacking instance. It’s just going to get worse.

This one was 66.187.5.19. I tried to find a way to report their behavior on hostodo (the service they’re using) but they don’t seem to have a report option. I’m guessing because they don’t want to prevent this kind of thing.

Mom can we watch ‘GRUB Not Found’ again?

That is a solid enough reason and one I wasn’t aware of. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find out, thank you!

I’ve been eyeing Gitea. Do you have any reason for using Forgejo that I might overlook Gitea in favor of it?

Same boat, the exact same refurb 10tb drives I’ve got in my system are 2.5x my last purchase. But I did get a lot of fast RAM before the prices went nuts.

Don’t forget to check out Youtarr. I think it hits all the targets. You can do channels, playlists or individual videos. It has an option for a proxy URL to use to download which I believe can be set up with a self-hosted VPN. And it formats and sends things directly to Jellyfin.

Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.

Are they Samsung TVs?

Are you using wireless? I’m guessing your router is occasionally being oversaturated with traffic. I would turn your streaming quality down to around 2mb and then stream to your device. You can open up Jellyfin in a browser and check the steam information in the Jellyfin Dashboard to check the speed. Keep bumping it up if you want better quality.

If you’re trying to prevent transcoding, then I suggest downloading or ripping lower bitrate content.

If you happen to have a spare router, I would try adding it as an access point and keep your Jellyfin source machine and streaming device on that access point. That should keep the traffic from going through your primary router.

Apple couldn’t monetize firmware so they got rid of it (probably).

Because they block access without signing up.

You’ve got some points but I would argue that antiquated UI will be what saves the Internet. Keeping out bots and AI scrapers with good old fashioned phpBBS systems that have been around for twenty years will be our clean data as we build systems outside of AI and the techbro properties.

I can’t speak for everyone with my comment here. I really, really hate the side effects of the AI bubble. Where they force it into every fucking element of life. And honestly, I hate even that it’s being called AI. I hate that it’s made traditional algorithmic services worse like Google Now for example. And I hate the lack of privacy it’s brought.

That said, I have no problems with someone using it to complete a project with it. I think it could potentially raise a potential device security concern in a case like this. And probably wouldn’t partake in the app because of that. But I use my own self-hosted LLMs all the time. It helps me format things, saves me time with searching and researching when I want an answer, not knowledge.

There are many rational reasons to dislike and avoid “AI”. As well, there’s many irrational people. And there are some good uses for the technology.

Okay, but what happens if you spell favorites wrong?

I am in the midst of setting up a Friendica install for my larger community. I’m trying out Elest.io for it, using netcup servers so I don’t have to deal with the security and hardening and starting off as cheap as possible with expandability. Just to try to filter people away from Facebook. A lot of people are starting to leave Facebook and I think it’s time to go back to basics. I might try to set up a Matrix server as well, but one thing at a time.

Incogni feels like a product the data brokers created to double tap your data and get paid for doing it.

I’m not sure if it fits your criteria exactly, but Grocy has an assignable chore list. I’ve not used this function but I have used the mobile app which is solid.

I set up Jellyseer so my friends can request whatever. Just blame your full collection of My Little Pony and Gilmore girls on that one friend from Finland (unless you’re in Finland, and then use Greece).

Oh, LazyLibrarian. I guess no one else could figure out how it works. I still try after updates… Nope. If it works, I just don’t understand it.
