I'm not the one complaining "people are mean". You're either a troll or incapable of self-reflection, which is why your "block list" is just going to keep growing and growing, and you'll never learn or change.

Good luck on your journey though.

lol you called dude a "Fucking retard" for posting a link on a 3 month old comment thread that you could have just ignored.

I generally look at someone's comment history before replying to them to see if it's even worth a reply. The internet has been and always will be (without heavy authoritarian moderation) full of trolls, Bad Faith Actors, and idiots. Block everyone, cry victim, whatever makes you feel better. Maybe if you keep running into assholes and trolls you should reflect on your comment history and how you interact with people online. The kind of comments you feel the need to comment back to (because you don't need to comment on anything, like ever) you don't need to.

It's wild that you don't have the self-reflection to realize that your comments calling people "retards" and "morons" perpetuate the same toxicity that you're complaining about.

Welcome to the Internet though.

Sure is going to be difficult to enact change when met with a regime that wants to regress. Hope that y'all who didn't vote are happy with the outcome cause I sure ain't.

Ah right, didn't mention Trump but commented in a thread on a meme about Trump, replied to a comment regarding voters abstaining from voting in a US election in which Trump won, and made sarcastic "high ground" comment. Are you lost?

Surely, Doland J Trump and his administration will fix all these problems and will not make them worse.

Good thing I didn't vote so that this stable genius with a traceable track record can take office and lead the World in peace and justice.

Right? That's what you're saying?

Sure is going to be more difficult to make progressive change in a fascist state. I've no doubt conservatives are going to be more open to change than their counterparts, but something tells me that those changes aren't going to be anywhere near progressive.

Yeah, I do blame the voters who sat this election out or voted 3rd party. Absolute ignorance in the face of factual, tangible datapoints.

"Oh, the democrats should have campaigned harder! Oh, they should have been more progressive!" while conservatives just consistently lie through their teeth, skirt the law, and prey on the weak and ill-informed. While conservatives are open-faced about their regressive policies.

Change takes time, but yeah, let's sit this one out. Real progressive. Nothing like watching the trolly going toward the wrong side of the track and saying "Oh, not my problem, I didn't touch the lever! Whatever happens, it's not my fault because I did nothing to help or hurt the situation! My hands are clean!"

Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn’t recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).

Yeah, but like MusicBrains and AudioDB plugins. It should scan through and try to match the metadata to better organize your files.

Then for mobile you can connect to the Symfonium app.

Wait, don't tell me. Is this the guy whose running mate suggested injecting disinfectant?

Yeah, I really think productive rights voters are going to turn out and likely be deciders.

I absolutely do not agree with Vance, but he did get Walz on that abortion bill clarification. Walz couldn't clarify because it's a very specific detail, but I don't think the average voter is going to see it that way. You can claim that it was unfair for Vance to do so, but for a political debate it was a solid jab. I really think productive rights voters are gonna lead this election.

HTTPS with FreeDNS (self.selfhosted)
submitted 8 months ago by ProtecyaTec to c/selfhosted
 

I feel like I have a doozy of a complicated issue and am looking for some guidance.

I'm new to Selfhosting so I got myself an off-the-shelf Asustor NAS. It's got apps which is cool, so I've installed Jellyfin. I want to access my Jellyfin over the web so I've set up DDNS via my Asusstor Manual Connect and FreeDNS. This works well, I can access it over HTTP but the domain is... kind of long and unpleasant, so I got myself a "pretty" domain and setup a CNAME to the FreeDNS. I'm port forwarding on my router, everything works, so far so good.

To make it overtly complicated, I want to make the connection HTTPS. This is where I'm struggling. I've set up the SSL cert for my "pretty" domain via Lets Encrypt, but it times out. I'm not sure if, or how I can make the FreeDNS HTTPS or covered under my Lets Encrypt cert since I don't technically own the FreeDNS domain. My provider doesn't give my any wildcard options on the "pretty" domains cert either.

I've got the HTTPS set on my Asustor and Jellyfin based on the "pretty" domains SSL cert. I've got my port-forwarding 443 to Jellyfins suggested HTTPS port on my router. I feel like the lynchpin is the FreeDNS subdomain handing off the DDNS request but I'm not sure how to solve it. Any suggestions on how I can get this setup to work? Anyone else run a similar setup where they access their local X port via the web via HTTPS?

Open to similar experiences, suggestions, ideas, pretty much anything at this point.

I've started working with Media Servers recently and am starting to get acustom to Jellyfin. I'm using Book Lib Connect and AAX Audio Converter to download and convert my purchased Audiobooks.

I would like my Audiobooks to retain chapters, but I'm not sure the export I'm getting from the above is fully compatible with Jellyfin. Here's what I've tried so far:

Audiobooks

  • Author
    • Book
      • (01) Opening Credits.m4b
      • (02) Chapter 1.m4b
      • etc.
      • Book.txt
      • metadata.json
      • chapters.json

I also have the full m4b file and the aax file in an ignored folder at the top of the book.

Book.txt contains the author, title, narrator, publish year, description, duration. Separated by new lines.

metadata.json contains specific information like purchase date, product #, author #, SKU.

chapters.json contains the actual chapter titles. chapter length, start offset.

Any ideas on how I can get Jellyfin to read the json files? Do I need to write a conversion script into some other file type? Maybe Jellyfin isn't the right software for Audiobooks?

I'm open to ideas, suggestions, or any other advice.

 

I'm trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it's better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by hosting an instance via Cloud or VPS you are offloading the data / information to a 3rd party.

Are people actually running their own actual self-hosted servers from home? Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?
