Because he’s pretty much that. Idk about the middle eastern part. (Why did you even include that phrase, are you racist? There are dictators in Europe, South America, North America, all parts of Asia, idk how Australia is nowadays.)
But he’s definitely a dictator.

I think they’re talking about the unencrypted footage uploaded by Eufy (a subsidiary of Anker) security cameras to their own servers without express permission of the owners.

It’s not that bad. I run Linux on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, which is much weaker than this. (It’s not a competition, though. Just saying.) And that’s also a pretty standard device. I’m kinda interested to see if anyone can go below 64M RAM with a modern installation.

Wow. Hope you calm down later and realize what an insufferable cunt you’re being right now. (I’m not going to give you a retort anymore, because it’s clear that all of that is falling onto deaf ears. Fucking hell.)

I’m not a member of the Plex community, never have been.

so what can I trust the jellyfin community to do?

Clear double standards. Just use the product if you want to.

yes please explain to me what I have to do.

Alright, man. Do what you want. I’m just pointing out that you have a weird double standard, ffs. Have a great day. (Or maybe not, I don’t wanna tell you what to do.)

maybe focus on more of that and less shitting on Plex

Also, you seem to be happy to tell people what they need to do. (I realize I’m being petty and annoying here, but that’s kinda on purpose for this one. I get pretty fucking frustrated by double standards.)

No. You know you don’t need to join a community for using something, right? I didn’t join a community for my dishwasher. Not even for most of my apps, actually. It’s very easy. When you choose corporate, you’re giving money for shit service. There’s literally no way for dissociate from that. On the other hand, you can simply not participate in a community, no one’s forcing you. It’s just weird that you’d still prefer the corporate way.

I’ll take a corporate shitheel company over a roach infested toxic community any day.

What an asinine fucking take. Even if Plex were better than Jellyfin in every single way (it isn’t), this take would still be asinine. I mean, wtf dude. You can just not care about the community and everything keeps working. A “shitheel” company will do everything to make your experience suck.

Caddy is the way.

If it’s for private usage, take a look at PrivTracker.

I think Sonarr uses qBittorrent’s (or other supported torrent client) API for checking the progress, instead of periodic scans. Everything else is solid.

The most powerful app I’ve ever used for this is 1DM+ (there’s a free version as well). It won’t let you download YouTube videos due to Play Store rules, but everything else pretty much works. I’ve never managed to match its versatility or speed for downloading videos from sites with anything else. (I’d love to replicate it on my Linux machine, if I could.)

That’s what I do. But then I mostly use Arch or Arch based distros (e.g. EndeavourOS). So I have access to AUR. If something isn’t on AUR (very rare, but can happen), I just create the package for it and publish to AUR. I do use some AlmaLinux machines as server. I don’t really need many programs outside of the standard repos there since I use them mostly for hosting Docker images. But if I do need to install something like that, I’ve some self-written LURE install scripts.

The best way would be to use a VPS to proxy your traffic to you. You can achieve this for pretty cheap, just set up an wireguard tunnel to a cheap VPS. That’s exactly how I access all my services from outside my home. As long as the VPS has a publicly accessible IP (most of them do), you being behind CGNAT should not be an issue.

Better start looking for a new job. That company might not be in business for too long, judging from the choices that they’re making. Especially, if they work in the IT space.

I personally use https://desec.io

Yes, it just does what cp does. Only difference is that it makes hardlinks instead of copies. Unless you’re using a COW filesystem, this might be better for most situations.

I usually just let the files be where they are and cp -l to a directory where I can manage them however I want. This creates hardlinks, so you don’t use up any extra space.

For me, the most essentials are definitely:

• PhotoPrism
• Jellyfin
• Navidrome
• Wiki.js

What are you talking about? Everyone hates Nintendo for this shit.

Nice try, FBI.
