I've got Jellyfin on a cheap ($20/year) VPS, and used SSHFS to attach it to some external hard drives attached to a Raspberry Pi. My upload speed is only 10 mbps, but that seems enough for most movies and TV shows, and multiple users can watch simultaneously via SyncPlay. Transcoding works too (up to 1080p)
I've been running my own Nextcloud instance since 2020, which, combined with ProtonMail, has replaced basically everything I was using Google/Microsoft for
Fingers crossed indeed!!! Latest kernels do for sure work better, but not quite there yet (crashing ~80% of the time when hot unplugging, more often if programs are running)
My last test was last week with the latest distros, I'll definitely follow along with the latest kernel updates. I was just testing with the default installed kernel (which I think is above 5.14)--eventually I'll need to throw on the surface-linux kernel which lags behind a bit, but I'd be happy to help contribute to that once eGPUs are supported by mainline
I very regularly complain about the eGPU issue on Linux, since I want to swap so badly--every program I use (with the exception of Drawboard PDF, which operates on a universal standard) is cross platform, and I have successfully installed a wide variety of linux distros on my laptop and got everything working well (even pen input on Xournal!!).
However, I use an Nvidia eGPU to drive three additional monitors I use for work, and on Linux I am unable to hotplug my eGPU, instead requiring a login/logout (or at least me closing all my open programs, which defeats the purpose of hotplug). I've tried Wayland/Xorg, and distros varying from Fedora to Pop OS (so far, my best experience was on Kubuntu/Wayland, but the computer still regularly crashed when disconnecting). I wish I were a better programmer, since then I could figure the issue out myself!
As soon as the Linux kernel has better support for hotplugging, I will never need to boot Windows again!
Edit: I am not unfamiliar with Linux, and I've been running Linux servers for well over a decade--I just have little experience in the realm of graphics drivers
Thank you (and @onTerryO) for this workaround as well!! Much easier when loading into a community from a hotlink!
Magically, this seems to have worked on Chrome!! Thanks for the workaround--hopefully Firefox is better supported by the Lemmy devs soon!
Edit: And on Firefox too now! Strange, but thanks for your help!!!
I tried this last night and it did not work, will try it now and report back. Now using a fresh install of Chrome with no extensions
I just tried the same process on Brave Browser and a fresh install of Chrome (inPrivate, no extensions) and unfortunately seeing the same behavior!
Agreed entirely--privacy is and will always remain an essential human right.

It should definitely be possible--I'd start with setting up a Telegram Matrix Bridge, then install Element for Nextcloud and connect the two together via a Matrix server.
If you've got Nextcloud on Docker it should not be too hard to add the above to an extant server!
I found a deal for a Racknerd KVM VPS on lowendbox.com--I'm not seeing the same one, but similar offers pop up often!
