My latest project was turning my old Windows 10 machine upstairs into a #SelfHosting workstation. I slapped a big hard drive in it, and reformatted with #Kubuntu #Linux.
I've converted many of my DVD collection into a @jellyfin server. (Only stuff I OWN + public domain content, and only viewable inside the house.) I also just put on #NextCoud and it was pretty easy. Now I essentially have cloud storage from anyplace.
It's amazing! And... it just works. Why didn't I do this before???
I want to thank a few people for inspiration: @_elena, @dragondaddy, @thekitmalone, and a few others I'm sure.
This opened up a world of possibilities for me. Also, I know there will be a lot of perfectly good "old" 5-year-old computers going to salvage because of the Windows decommissioning of v10.
Each step was definitely a "weekend project" but each step also adds amazing functionality. So worth it.
If you're thinking of taking the plunge, ask me anything. I'd be happy to help!

@ScottStarkey @jellyfin Self-hosting is awesome! I personally enjoy every moment of it (even if it's not working as expected haha)!
Yeah - I found that reading Jellyfin's excellent online documentation was very eye opening. That was about step 10 after installing Jellyfin, after wondering why Jellyfin wasn't doing what I expected. It has very strict naming requirements which adds functionality and information to each item.
It's an amazing piece of software. Kudos to the team.

One aha moment was dumping my Lord of the Rings DVDs to my hard drive, which is spread across two disks.
Naming the files "Fellowship of the Ring part_1.mkv" and "Fellowship of the Ring part_2.mkv" just flows one part to the next seamlessly. It's just magic! 🧙

@ScottStarkey @jellyfin Oooh! That's pretty cool!

@ScottStarkey @jellyfin now use tailscale to to easily access your cloud and tools from anywhere

@ScottStarkey @jellyfin Jellyfin is nothing less than a triumph. I used a decade-old Asus CN60 Chromebox and it works great for streaming all my TV show collections without juggling DVDs. All the convenience of streaming plus the autonomy of ownership.

I will have to look into #tailscale. So far I've used #Cloudflare Zero Trust for my #NextCloud server. It's the "easy button".
However, I've read a little about Cloudflare's support of things that I don't really like. Also, streaming videos is against their terms of service. So, I'd like an alternate solution.

That sounds like a fun project!

@ScottStarkey @jellyfin except a handful of public things - tailscale always works...we access everything from joplin, our game servers, ollama, jellyfin...over tailscale

@ScottStarkey @_elena @dragondaddy This is rad! Everytime someone starts hosting their own services an angel gets their wings!

Recommending #Signal is like giving a man a slightly less poisonous fish. Introducing them to federated, provider independent instant messaging with #XMPP is teaching them how to fish.

@ApostateEnglishman I'm trying to phrase my statements in a way in which they don't sound like an advert, but I'm developing and Android instant messaging client called #Conversations_im which uses a federated instant messaging network called Jabber or XMPP.

Io cmq Vikings e The last kingdom li ho visti, e i danesi non li farei arrabbiare per nulla.

@macfranc ah, ho capito. Sì, in effetti non frequento.
Non voglio occupare spazio, era una decisione giusta la tua.

@jens @sixohsix @mcc personally, I think ALSA *should* solve the problem, because ALSA creates the problem.
