  • My immediate thoughts as a fedora user: Fedora is looked at as a bleeding edge testing distro for what eventually goes into red hat. By using fedora, I am sort of a beta tester for ibm, and am in some ways contributing to the improvement of a distribution (red hat) that goes against what I believe a Linux distribution should do. Given that, should I distro hop?

    Or is my brain just trying to make me distro hop again?




  • It looks like the admins at blahaj lemmy have or are working on a tool to implement downvoting, but have the downvotes weighted (the example mentioned on the thread was 5 downvotes = 1 upvote), in order to discourage brigading and other issues with downvoting. Not sure how tough this would be to implement, but it sounded like an interesting enough idea for me to want to bring visibility to it.

    Personally, I voted to agree with the majority. I see the benefits of not having downvotes after spending some time here and on Beehaw, but I also think that it makes sense to include the option if most people want it.


  • Thanks for this! I had downtime at work yesterday, and this post inspired me, so I drug out the sff pc I had lying around for this purpose, set it up with Ubuntu server and managed to get jellyfin set up in a docker container without too much trouble. Right now it’s local network only vs Plex and I’ll probably keep both up for now. Plex is running on a windows gaming desktop though, so it will be nice to turn that off more often and save some electricity when I don’t need it. How are you handling access outside the house? Port forwarding? Vpn to the home? I think today if I have the time I’ll look into portainer before moving on to sonarr. But, I have noticed much of my video files aren’t in the H.264 format that Jellyfin likes, which is causing playback issues/lag in Firefox. So I may also start looking into a way to start converting all my files instead. Thanks everyone for convincing me to get my stuff together!


  • Only Car lite here. I only own an ebike, but my partner owns a car, that we use for trips out of the city, mostly. Props for going car free in Seattle! The infrastructure there, depending on where you’re at, is pretty good from what I’ve seen. I’ve considered trying to take my bike up via amtrak next time I visit instead of driving. maybe someday.
