  • There are some plug’n’play solutions out there, all off-the-shelf NAS you can find nowadays will have an “app store” type of things that will let you install Jellyfin and others Webservice in one click.

    The DIY way is cheaper, more flexible, more powerful, but it’s a journey and it can be very frustrating. I too, regularly spend hours if not days on problems that end up basically as “I’m an idiot and had a typo in the config file the whole time”. It’s a hobby for me, I don’t feel like it’s wasted time, I enjoy it, I’m learning stuff.






  • Oui, oui, les plus fortunés vont prendre leurs clic et leurs clac, leurs usines, leurs entreprises, leur staff, leur patrimoine immobilier, leurs placements bourcier et vont se casser du jour au lendemain dans un autre pays. Ils vont prendre toutes leur famille et leur réseau d’influence avec eux au passage.

    Les riches qui se casse juste parce que ils sont taxé 1% de plus, c’est du gros mytho. Il faut arrêter de croire ça. On peut leur en demander plus, pas de risques.


  • If you want to bring more people to Linux, preaching is really not a good way to do that. We are not a religion, we are not a cult. We are an enthousiastic bunch or nerds :)

    Avoid behind judgemental of people that use Windows, Mac or other proprietary software. Do not talk about Linux in length when it was not solicited.

    Instead, you can show how enthusiastic you are about all the cool things you are doing with your computer that happens to be running Linux!

    When people around you, do make the choice to switch, of their own will, then offer your help with all the patience and understanding you have.

    All the best 🐧🐧🐧







  • I have a good experience with the NVidia shield TV (2017). Jellyfin app work great without tinkering and HEVC deciding is supported by this device, minimizing the need of transcoding.

    The experience outside of Jellyfin needs some work though, to get an ad-free experience. Once Projectivy Launcher and Smart Tube installed and configured, I am fully satisfied.

    I haven’t played too much with Raspberry, I think HW decoding is still a point of pain.


  • Take the time to properly understand Linux file ownership and permission. Permission will be the cause of many issues you will encounter in you self-hosting journey on Linux. Make sure you know the basics of chmod (change permission) and chown (change ownership), Linux users and groups. This will save you some head-scratching, but don’t worry, you will learn by doing !

    Remember that, if you setup everything right, especially with docker, running as root / with sudo is not required for any of the services you may want to run.
