Ohhh, now I get the top comment.

Np, just learned it myself right before posting this.

The Japanese pronunciation is why they wanted to call him Puck-Man! It’s apparently from a Japanese onomatopoeia for a mouth opening and closing, “Paku Paku”

I know… I’m in the same boat. Still though, could you imagine if they did?

Shotguns and swords missing is so painful. They’re usually so reliable that it feels like a guarantee!

In Phoenix of all places?! That’s just cruel.

Oh my god, you mean I didn’t have to do all this manually? I’ve spent so much troubleshooting time fixing file names.

I’m not confident enough in my knowledge to ever open up my server externally, even after reading some methods that are allegedly safe (or relatively safe). I’d just rather not take the risk of me misunderstanding something or failing to keep current with vulnerabilities.

I suppose I see the appeal if Plex handles that without hassle, but man… not for $750. Lol

Wow, this is so much good info. Thank you

No, not yet. I took forever to manually rip what I have, which was a lot, and I’m still working my way through boxes of music (which I’m also hosting on Jellyfin). I’ll figure out that step next.

I didn’t get into self-hosting until recently, and people recommended Jellyfin, so I don’t even know what I’m missing with Plex, if anything. It feels like Jellyfin does everything I need.

This looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for! (for Jellyfin at least)

I’ve been using an old Nvidia Shield, and it just does way too much to be able to hand it over to the kids.

I’ve been interested in doing this same project. I don’t have any ideas yet unfortunately, but I’d also like to hear what others have done.

That’s long-term thinking. I assume it’s like a ponzi scheme: everyone who puts money into something like this thinks they’ll cash out before the problems occur.

Why do I feel like the ones left holding the bag are going to be the taxpayers/residents somehow?

Since streaming became a thing, I could probably only name a handful of artists I’ve discovered. I just pick a genre and let the algorithm decide.

About 6 months ago, I started self-hosting my music, and it’s a game changer. It feels like much more intentional consumption of media.

Lol, there were seriously no rules.

At least Mastodon is properly federated. The benefits of decentralization sort of make this a waste of money/resources, right?

I remember when this was happening to Lemmy all the time too.

How would it not be? Every industry creates product to meet demand. They aren’t going to produce more or less just for fun.
