Yesterday I was singing the praises of #Jellyfin with someone in my life and they went: "Sounds great.

@_elena technically you could mount a gdrive, but what would be the reason to have it connected to gdrive or icloud?
@leberschnitzel they said "to have a backup in case you lose the data on your drive"...
to which I responded that I can regularly sync folders to a backup drive using Carbon Copy Cloner...

@_elena keep up the good evangelisation! What's your use case for Jellyfin? Thinking of deploying it at some point.
@john_fisherman freedom from the tyranny of streaming services! and to resurrect my music library which has been languishing on an external drive since iTunes went bust

Yesterday I was singing the praises of #Jellyfin with someone in my life and they went: "Sounds great. It's a pity it cannot be connected to Google Drive or iCloud".
Fedi friends, this sentence sent actual shivers down my spine. I have no poker face and I may have even blurted out "ew why?" Then I said: "you know that the cloud is basically someone else's computer, right?"
So yes, I'm a certified Fediverse person now (in case there were any doubts).
And I just installed Jellyfin YAY 🥳
@_elena Got HDD for my old comp month ago, put Yunohost and Jellyfin and few other things like Libretranslate.
Jellyfin is really nice and having smart tv means I can leave my pc to rest while watching preloaded stuff from my personal server at home or using guests smart tv or just on phone. Same goes to sharing with my family members.
I had experience setting up Freebsd but didn't expect yunohost be so simple, so thanks for shout out months earlier! -

@_elena I read ya! SO MANY people wanting to do that, it's great news. It would be awesome to have a simple guide for noobs, somewhere, with nerds like us to assist the transition. Ah, the internet!

@john_fisherman I literally just installed it, but maybe once I master it I will write a guide for non-techies (like myself)

@_elena that, or simply share a good one that is already written. This seems like the kind of thing that would work really nicely on a Wiki-kind of collaborative effort.

@_elena Saw this article yesterday and it was an eye opener how much personal data streaming platforms share with 3rd parties. Even more reason to try Jellyfin.

@bstn oooh and if it's helpful, you can also "liberate" your audiobook collection with #audiobookshelf https://www.audiobookshelf.org (which I discovered literally 5 minutes ago).
Both (Jellyfin and audiobookshelf) are available on @yunohost BTW 🤗
