Taking on tech debt is pretty common thing for IT. We spend all day standing up services for various internal orgs.
Mature orgs should be able to automate deploy of services like mastodon, so depending on various factors it’s not that big of an ask.
Ohh yeah, it’s very slick. Really deep features, compatible with everything, great UI.
Its the same dev that made Yatze, the best kodi app remote, so it was a quick sell for me.
Hmm, not using finamp. I’m pretty happy with Synfonuim.
Cant speak to that aspect.
Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip alone is way better than Plex’s.
The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.
The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.
I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It’s way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.
The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.
Can’t speak to his method, but the jellyfin media sever has a YouTube plugin called Fintube that uses the above downloader to integrate YouTube content.
Vim doesn’t hate you. It loves who you could be.
Desperation is a powerful motivator.
I’m still new to this myself, but yes that’s the gist of it. This isn’t k8s or even k3s. It’s an easy way to deploy a container via code on a single node system using the already present systemd for management. It let’s you pretend that Linux handles containers natively like it does daemons.
This article from redhat has more information about the why and what.
Yup. I read it as “compose and manage containers with systemd.”
Sure, there is a k8s layer abstracted into podman to do this, but you don’t manage or interact with it. Everything is a systemd unit file, a simple text document with a well understood structure. Containers are started and logged like services.
Easy, direct, tidy.

Yes and no. The auditing is likely the harder part. You can use something like tailscale or nebula vpn to get the always on vpn/ACLs. With a dozen or two devices, it should be doable at a home scale.
If you want clientless zerotrust then you’re talking heavier duty things like Palo alto gear and the like.
ZeroTrust is a specific type of network security where every network device has its access to other devices validated and controlled, not a statement on the trustworthiness of vendors.
Instead of every device on a LAN seeing every other device, or even every device on a VLAN seeing other devices on a VLAN, each device can only connect with the other devices it needs to work, and those connections need to be encrypted. These connectioms are all monitored, logged and alerted on to make sure the system is working as intended.
You do need to trust or validate the tooling that does the above, regardless of what you’re using.
He worked for the gaming site/podcast “Giantbomb” years ago. Pretty sure the image macro is pulled from one of their podcast videos.
Copper core versus copper clad aluminum is going to matter here too. Both will claim to hit the spec, but you’re more likely to get there with the expensive copper only.

Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.
Nice hacking mate.
Ehh, i get it. I live in the same world.
Still, I would lean in if my org asked me to stand up a mastodon instance.
