I expose jellyfin to the internet, and some precautions I have taken that I don't see mentioned in these answers are: 1) run jellyfin as a rootless container, and 2) use read-only storage where ever possible. If you have other tools managing things like subtitles and metadata files before jellyfin there's no reason for jellyfin to have write access to the media it hosts. While this doesn't directly address the documented security flaws with jellyfin, you may as well treat it like a diseased plague rat if you're going to expose it. To me, that means worst case scenario is the thing is breached and the only thing for an attacker to do is exfiltrate things limited to jellyfin.

The Earthsea books play heavily on both born in attributes and acquired skills, and I'd even say the interplay between those two concepts. Really great books for youth and adults.

I recently caved and decided to try the other method after years of doing it this way. Flip every 30 seconds, and take note of doneness in the beginning by feel. You build a better crust this way and get more even and predictable cooking. Turns out that frequent flipping does not dry things out

If you're looking for more tinkering on the music around the house front, Lyrion music server + squeezelite players can be a very fun endeavor. I think it gets a little sketchy if you're favoring automation and casting, but as a network of players that will utilize a wide swath of hardware, it shines. I had a bunch of pi4s laying around and eventually repurposed them all into a multiroom audio gang.

Startmail (from the Startpage folks) has been fine for me. You pay for it, you can put your domain on it, you can do alias addresses, works with any IMAP client since it's just IMAP ran by a (so far) competent company. Their web ui is fine, but ive only used it for initial setup. Besides Thunderbird on mobile I use Snappymail within Nextcloud and this works just fine as well. All I can say is it does what it says on the tin.

This isn't a complete solution, but trakt.tv covers a lot of ground. I started using it for getting a consistent history of watched shows between jellyfin on the road and kodi at home. It works okay enough for this, though at times it does seem that one or both of the plugins can fail to log a watched show. I would guesstimate a 90% success rate.

My favorite open secret of the internet. It's crazy to think how long that network has been running. I think I stumbled on it around 2003. Thanks for pointing out this client. I've been relying on a rickety container build that uses novnc and nicotine+ to give a quasi-portable experience. It will be nice to ditch that, hopefully.

If you have the time to spare (a few weeks perhaps, if coming from zero) to experiment and read, Prometheus and Grafana offers a lot and can be really flexible. I use a pretty simple bash script that scrapes my desired https endpoints and writes out the results to a file Prometheus (node-exporter) understands, and from there I can write alert rules in Grafana to fire off notices by email or slack.

I wouldn't take too seriously anyone saying it's a horrible idea. I mean, I think you could always argue it's a waste of resources running a GUI for a thing intended to be a server. But headless servers aren't the end all be all. I'm sure there's a lot of licensed redhat instances out there running gnome or whatever because reasons.

Personally I wouldn't do it unless some hard necessity were there because it's just another thing that could go wrong, another thing to maintain if you're capturing your config as code, and mostly because I'm not gonna dedicate a keyboard/monitor for that kind of stuff.

I did a 4 node Pi4 kubernetes cluster for about 5 years. The learning experience was priceless. I think most notable was learning to do proper multiarch container builds to support arm and x86_64. That being said, about half a year ago I decided to try condensing it all into two n100 nuc-like clones and keep one pi as the controller. For me and my apps and use cases there was no going back. Performance gains were substantial and in this regard I think I was hobbling myself after the educational aspect plateaued.

You might check out wiim stuff. They seem to be the darling of budget streaming for the moment.

 

I wanted to share my experience with these switches since I wasn't seeing much about them, especially for the latest revision, the "New V2". There's some helpful videos on yt that explain what's up with the versions and the terrible naming. Short version is the V2 came out with dampening at the bottom of the switch, this was not well received, so then came the New V2 with that dampening removed.

I wound up test driving both the V2 and the New V2 and found them both to be very pleasing switches. In fact, I was pretty torn between the two and in the end I got a full set of both versions. Side by side the auditory difference isn't night and day. They're both on the bassy, or thick end of the spectrum, and even the non-dampened New V2 isn't a particularly distracting switch. I've seen it mentioned before that the V2 isn't really a silent switch, but it's pretty close to being one. I definitely found this to be the case, and it is why I went ahead and got a full set for a future office setup. They are definitely quiet enough to not raise much, if any attention and the feel is almost as good as the New V2.

The feel, or i guess more specifically the liquidy travel and lack of wobble is what won me over with both switches. I tried two other linear switches besides the North Poles, and the Gaterons were the most tight feeling by a wide margin. They pretty much killed the Gazzew Boba Gum and LT for me since the wobble on the Gazzews was crazy jiggly by comparison.

In the end the New V2 was the winner. The harder bottom out just felt a tad better and I found myself coming back to them the most. If you're thinking about the New V2 I can't recommend them enough. No scratchiness, virtually no wobble, and a thick sound that doesn't distract unless you're really banging away at them. If you're looking for a silent linear, the V2 is definitely worth a try. For me, they are on standby for this exact reason. I often hear the V2 bottom out described as "gummy." I feel like that's a bit of a stretch. If you were tapping a hard surface with a pen, and then slipped a piece of fabric on the striking surface, that's the feel of the dampening.
