My biggest issue with Nextcloud is there is no LTS version. Employees do NOT like things constantly changing, and Nextcloud has some pretty major changes every 4-6 months. As an admin you really have to keep up to date, or you run into trouble, not just with security, but with trying to upgrade later, as you can't upgrade across major versions.

In my opinion, a 2-3 year supported LTS version would make Nextcloud way more attractive to hosting in stable environments.

I think everyone should start sending in resumes and just flood their system.

I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn.

Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in 'Robinson mode' as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed.

Anytime I come across something of interest, I index it with yacy, using a a depth of 0 (since I only want to index that one page, not the whole site). This way, I can just go to my search site, and search for something, and anything related that I've indexed before pops up. I found this works way better than trying to manage bookmarks with descriptions and tags.

Also, yacy will keep a cache of the content which is great if the site ever goes offline or changes.

If I need to browse, I can go use yacy's admin tools to see all the urls I have indexed.

I have been using this for several months and I am using this way more than I ever used my bookmarks.

I’m a big fan of Jellyfin. I would say it is easily family approved. That is for my family in my household who is using it on our home Wi-Fi.

But I am not about to expose it publicly. I have WireGuard set up on my immediate family’s devices and that is mostly ok (until you get on a public Wi-Fi that fails because you haven’t gone through their portal and can’t because the vpn is on, or you are on an airplane’s Wi-Fi with no internet trying to watch their movies and it doesn’t work until you turn off the vpn). Explaining this to my wife has been a nonstop battle.

I’d like it open it up to my siblings families, especially because I have the ersatztv plug-in to create approved child stations, but so many smart tvs and devices don’t support a vpn. How have others handled that situation?

They are pictures of my dog and YES THEY DO! :) I mean, it is 25 years of my computing history there...

It’ll be a sad day when blu-ray dies. I don’t see any other physical media replacing it, and we have made no progress on being able to purchase digital video that we actually own.

I haven't seen any of the sequels, but why do they keep letting JJ Abrams write/direct movies? He ruined Star Trek too.

I started using Linux in '98 with Red Hat 5.2. I have swapped between many, many different distros. But for the last 10 years or so, I've mostly stuck with Fedora. It generally just works, is up to date, and I've never had issues upgrading on their 6 month release cycle. My desktop probably started on Fedora 20-something and has been upgraded to the latest (43) without ever doing a reinstall!

My primary computer is my Frame.work laptop running Fedora 43.

I’m curious what is different. I already import WireGuard .conf files and turn them on/off with nmcli

How good is Jellyfin on AppleTV? My understanding was the app was a bit lacking...

Mid 90s, my ftp server with music and warez over dial-up that wasn't always online!

I haven't kept up with wine development in many years, but they used to have (and might still) winelib, which allowed you to compile a window app against it to create a native linux binary.

I would consider jellyfin + ersatztv. ersatztv lets you create "live" channels and define your own programming. Instead of the kids having a free for all of being any to stream any of the media you give them access to, you instead give them access to a few channels.

One of the nice things about it, is the channel can go "offline" at certain times. So, if you have a strict bedtime of 8pm, the shows will literally finish at 8pm, and the channel will stop. No more "let me watch on more video!"

I have several channels like:

• Cartoons
• Education
• Sing alongs
• History

that they can switch between, but that is all I give them.

Sure. But I'd also not host it publicly on the Internet, just on my local lan!

phew! Still available on my jellyfin too!

Yeah, that is what I am thinking. I am using duplicity for backups, so I can probably back up to a hard-drive, take that to work, sync it to my backup provider, then just do incremental backups from then on.

However, I think duplicity really wants to do full backups every X months, so I'm not sure the best way to handle that.

I use it to support mozilla. However, I don't really care for the application, so I just use MozWire to generate profiles, then use my normal Wireguard stuff with NetworkManager.

I’ve used fedora with gnome on two screens for over a decade. There’s no issues at all.

I prefer to change the setting of “workspaces on primary display only” to off. Workspaces are then across both displays and change together unlike the default behavior which is similar to Mac OS where spaces only work on the primary display.

It’s a side car service for navidrome so you already need to have navidrome (or other subsonic compatible server) running.

Have you tried it with a Roku? My pi.hole blocks most things, but I haven't yet tried to completely block it from the Internet. In the past, I've had to allow some domains through my pi.hole or things would be completely broken, but that hasn't happened in a while...

I suppose I'd have to occasionally unblock it to get updates to the jellyfin app, which is doable.
