Considering both Plex and Tailscale are going toward VC exits, Headscale and Jellyfin is the only FOSS way atm.

Buy an LG Smart TV and use the WebOS version of Jellyfin. That’s the best I’ve achieved.

Is there a more detailed guide to this practice and the pros/cons?

Discovery should not be a function of the Fediverse itself. It should be a tool, app, or otherwise layer on top of a baseline. Discovery is an opinionated service offering—if it’s baked in, it’s not a good thing IMO.

Joined the TestFlight!

Jellyfin and self host!

Jellyfin is so much better man, once setup. It’s basically the dream.

This looks so sick.

We need an encyclopedia of posts/content like this that is the masterbook of Fediverse ops and scaling “how-to.”

You should redo your org from scratch and let all the default plugins do the work. Mine looks great and I never changed anything, just followed the recommended file org pattern for Movies and TV Shows.

This is elite self-hosting, lol. I want more of this content.

Like I said, I think they should wield their expertise towards making alt implementations of Mastodon and Lemmy that support multiple ways of video—paywall or otherwise—because the primary problem with video is always distribution and engagement. Miming YouTube more directly will always fail. It has for two decades now.

I am of the belief we do not need PeerTube at all.

We need a custom Lemmy instance that has video upload baked in, as well as a method of monetizing it for the server/“creator” (who is in a structural sense the moderator of the community to which it was uploaded).

Lemmy is simply better at distributing the information. PeerTube is a red herring and P2P video sucks. We need to make it easy for a server operator to have a mechanism for paying for the bandwidth (take payments and contain distribution to paying users, and account for bandwidth when distributing operating income after costs).

Bitcoin Cash my dude. If you’re doing Stripe, integrate BitPay.

I’ll check this out 🙏

Is there a master guide for Jellyfin setup from hardware to software? I am having trouble finding something as a server novice who wants to set it all up for my home.

Nice!

The internet isn’t private by design. There are a limited scope of steps you can take to enable “privacy.” But this is a pointless article.

I think the current model under more mature circumstances is actually the ideal. You want sysadmins to experience the full cost-benefit analysis of running servers. They are functionally countries and should have the risks associated with running a country. A market-driven benevolent dictator/benevolent committee, where the server operators are highly motivated to be good actors, as is currently the case, is the ultimate freedom-security situation.

The risk of a server being able to “vanish” as it were is an essential risk for both community users and community managers to bear.
