I actually should be able to do it. The files are hosted on a drive I have at home mounted on a raspberry pi, the drive is then mounted on the vps through sshfs, so while it would take a while I think the pi might do it. Otherwise I'll just do it on my desktop, the drive is mounted through sshfs here too.

It's a vps so maybe I am indeed lacking hardware.

Kavita is the one I was looking at as well. I hear plex is closed source and I prefer using open.

Have you tried installing Jellyfin as a docker container? The official image as well as the linuxserver.io’s image?
I tried docker, yes. I have to check if I used linuxserver.io image but I did use the official one for sure.
Plex and Emby are some alternatives, but these are closed-source solutions.
Aw heck, I'd prefer foss

While I am posting from a lemmy account (because I didn't know about kbin when I made it) if I was to host one of the two it would be kbin. The reason is that lemmy has some hardcoded moderation things inside it that I disapprove of. I believe I should be able to say anything I want without fear of being censored on my own self hosted instance and this comes from a leftist, I don't want to use bad words to insult people, but if I want to use them in a different context I want to be able to. If I see an argument between a bigot and a fellow lgbtq and the bigot calls my comrade with a slur I want to be able to describe the situation using the exact words used. I think maybe it's a cultural difference thing, where I live using slurs in a context where we describe a situation rather than for insulting someone it's not seen as a bad thing. We don't give those words so much power and importance to the point that even just saying the words makes people gasp. I believe that censoring some words by default without even considering the context they are being used in doesn't help, I believe it just gives the words more power while we should aim to take power away from them.
Also kbin has a much prettier UI in my opinion.
I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn't play. I also don't need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I'll be using other things for those (funkwhale for music, still looking into the books and comics ) So, which self hosted alternatives do I have for videos and books/comic books? I need things that only do that but don't well. The video one needs to have a client I can install on a android device I have plugged ony tv
I have a pi zero laying around and I have no use for it as of now. I was wondering if I could host a matrix server on it, I worry it might just not be powerful enough as the title would imply.

First time I read about it, what's great about it? I currently use a combo of alacritty and tmux and aside for a thing or two I could configure better I love it.

I'll offer the other side of the coin just to give more food for thoughts, but I will also add that unlike OP I believe a phone call or a polite text would be enough: Should someone ghost in the name of safety, when a dangerous person would still look for you in person anyway or should they consider the feelings of someone they don't like just because they don't know they are a decent human being?
I understand where you're coming from, but a phone call or a message will keep you safe from a beating or being yelled at, homeboy starts yelling? Block the number. If you ghost someone they might still get really angry and look for you in person, maybe I'm ignorant and stupid but I don't see a lot of extra safety in ghosting unless we assume that to tell someone you're not interested you have to do it in person.
If you ghost someone there is a chance you avoid their anger, a chance. But there's also 100% certainty that you're going to hurt someone's feelings. Not to mention I do believe that's not the only cause, there's definitely people that ghost because they just don't care about the other person.
I tend to feel very encouraging and accepting of kinks, I dislike kinkshaming and in order to offer a safe and welcoming space to people with niche kinks I was considering opening a fediverse instance with either lemmy or kbin dedicated to nsfw content. I worry about some kinks being more than just kinks and I wouldn't like to allow things that are unhealthy or hateful. One such kink that worries me is raceplay and other things in that category like blacked, bleached and whatnot (not an expert in that field of kinks so I only know those three, wouldn't be surprised if there was more). I'm ready to bet that at least someone into those is racist but what would the percentage be? Is it something most people browse to get turned on and it ends there or is it some kind of extension of their real hatred for people of a specific type?

Thanks, ruby was another language I saw in the thread popping a few times, the first one being python. I I was told a few things python can be good for, can you give me a few examples of good uses for ruby just to have a vague idea?

My main focus is to learn a programming language, I tend to work better when I know I can do something fun and making games seemed like as good a goal as any other since I do play games a lot. I feel like the satisfaction of being able to see my sprites move would be an incentive, but it's definitely not my main end goal, just a nice side effect.

Thank you for your post, before this thread I thought that all the C named languages (c, c++ and c#) were at least similar but it looks like it's not the case.
raccoon 1 year ago • 100%
I knew they are different but I also assumed they're at least similar, is that a wrong assumption? Will learn one make little difference if I learn another after?
raccoon 1 year ago • 100%
That's interesting how for some people the same languages can be the opposite. Maybe I'll start with one and if it goes poorly I'll try the opposite side.
raccoon 1 year ago • 100%
Thank you very much for the post and the good luck :) Python does seem to be the most recommended language in the thread so it's likely I'll go for that, I'll take a loot.

I heard about pygame, I was hopeful but oh well. I also heard about godot but I didn't know if it was similar to something else.

Thank you, it's pretty encouraging to consider that skills transfer relatively easy if I do decide to move onto something else, it's not something I considered.

I would also like to emphasize the existence of a solid, free IDE like Visual Studio Community Edition or VS Code, because it can make a lot of things easier - especially when you’re just starting out.
Could you explain this part a bit more? I'm not sure I understand.

I heard that about learning a second one from other people too, and I think I heard this applies to languages in general, not just programming, but "people languages" too if that makes sense. Thank you for the suggestion mate, I'll definitely consider the book.
Hello friends, the title is mostly self explanatory. I would like to start programming but I also feel like I am not very smart, so I would like a programming language that is easier to grasp than others. That considered I don't hope to be able to learn something "powerful" but it would be nice to still be able to do some useful things. Something I would love to do is make games, I know those are usually made in C, which is a very difficult one, but maybe some simpler games can be made with other languages.

That's interesting, I thought the reason why it can't be messed with and improved for daily use is that it's closed source and therefore can't be updated. But guess I was wrong fair enough.

Hard fisagree. Linux isn't political. Everyone has an opinion, it's obvious Linus would too. But I am pretty happy that his opinion is one I personally agree with. Linux can be uaed by anyone though, and nothing stops far right activists (terrorists) from making a distro, which would still be Linux. There's a heavily religious distro too, but that doesn't make Linux as a whole religious.

Maybe the fdroid version is outdated, I'll uninstall that and use the one from the official website.

Title, I want to host a Lemmy instance and to save money I was hoping to use a pizero that I already have. I would consider a vps, but I worry about bandwidth
