I don’t think it is that is more polished, it’s just you pay for them to do the stuff you need to do yourself with reverse proxying, opening ports, securing stuff. This is only an issue if you are sharing outside your network of course.
Why bother self hosting at all then? Paying somone else to do it for you and the deal constantly getting altered is pretty what you signed up for.
That’s because you had somone elses servers doing that part for you.
Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me…
It’s a donation that is deceptively framed in my opinion, bit of a dark pattern, but the product is fully open source so most give it a pass.
You are forgetting the arcane patterns we have to engrave on them too.
They run their own full OS these days on under powered SoCs to cut costs. All so they can claim to be a “smart” TV until of course the flow of updates stops a year after manufacture and all the apps stop working. Then it’s back to being dumb as well as being a massive security hole on your network.
That was a long winded way of saying you don’t know what Jellyfin actually is or does. Mpv is a client, it only fills the role that the various Jellyfin clients perform and a better comparison would be against a heavier weight media player such as Kodi.
What you suggest works well enough if you have a reliable network link to share CIFS or NFS over, but what do you do when away from home on a rubbish link that doesn’t have bandwidth to stream all your high quality bluray rips? You want transcoding in that situation.
Also, I’m a seasoned Unix sysadmin who knows his way around the cli and I can say with certainty this isn’t for people who know the cli, it’s for people who just want to prove you can do anything from the cli even if suboptimal.
If only that wasn’t true if the other big parties as well.
Shall I assume you are still a big reiserfs user then?
Are you sure that’s many people? Outside of the few tech savvy people I know, most lay people have no clue what h.264/5 are either. They know mp3 and that just means digital music to them.
You can run a separate db server using local storage and use NFS only for the data volumes for the applications themselves.
IMO these kinds of poor man’s automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn’t be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it’s risky behaviour and the fact they don’t then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.
That said, let’s not gate keep. If novices don’t want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they’ll not be able to fix easily if it doesn’t, at least it’s a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.
That isn’t true though, plenty of people engage in creative endevours just for the pleasure of it.
Maybe this channel wouldn’t but as soon as it started relying on other people and platforms there was always the risk those wouldn’t align with the creative message and something would have to give.
Either way the creative control is compromised, just in different ways.
If you are running a business then you should either toe the line with your platform provider or make sure you have alternatives in place to move away from them if you value full creative control.
I don’t think it’s particularly popular either, no one seems to even really know about it.
I guess so, but then that is kind of lumping it in the fps bot behaviour from the 90s which was also “AI”, it’s the AI hype that is pushing people to think of it as “intelligent but not organic” instead of “algorithms that give the facade of intelligence” which 90s kids would have understood it to be.
You aren’t wrong, it is the government’s ham fisted and poorly thought out legislation… I fact the last government’s that this one inexplicably pushed on with despite it not being anything like a priority for the electorate. I’m frankly shocked at how many unforced errors this government is making given how “not being as rubbish as the last lot” was not a high bar to clear.
Those are the the ones that somone has managed to find in closed source software…
