I don't disagree, but if it's a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that's still Jellyfin doing something weird.
No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn't doing it on exactly the same files.
As far as it matters for this, a hypervisor is a hypervisor.
I use qemu/kvm because it's what I'm used to on the linux side, but I don't think it has any particular feature that makes it more safe compared to like virtualbox or vmware or anything else.
One thing I ran into, though it was a while ago, was that disk caching being on would trash performance for writes on removable media for me.
The issue ended up being that the kernel would keep flushing the cache to disk, and while it was doing that none of your transfers are happening. So, it'd end up doubling or more the copy time because the write cache wasn't actually helping removable drives.
It might be worth remounting without any caching, if it's on, and seeing if that fixes the mess.
But, as I said, this has been a few years, so that may no longer be actively the case.
I mean, the quality of what you get is going to be garbage either way, so you might as well just use AI to cheat rather than paying for a site that pays someone a tiny fraction to do it for you.
Yeah, I don't let anything that has to be cracked out of an isolated VM until it's VERY clear that nothing untoward is going on.
QEMU has proven perfectly lovely for a base to use for testing questionable software, and I've got quite a lot of VMs sitting around for various things that ah, have been acquired.
Humans can't do then benevolent part for very long.
You can fake it for a bit, but by and large we're just absolutely shit at not being assholes to each other once you get outside of your family tribe or maybe your local neighbors.
(Also having a complete mental breakdown doesn't help, and boy howdy.)
If you share access with your media to anyone you'd consider even remotely non-technical, do not drop Jellyfin in their laps.
The clients aren't nearly as good as plex, they're not as universally supported as plex, and the whole thing just has the needs-another-year-or-two-of-polish vibes.
And before the pitchfork crowd shows up, I'm using Jellyfin exclusively, but I also don't have people using it who can't figure out why half the episodes in a tv season pick a different language, or why the subtitles are somtimes english, and sometimes german, or why some videos occasionally don't have proper audio (l and r are swapped) and how to take care of all of those things.
I'd also agree your thought that docker is the right approach to go: you don't need docker swarm, or kubernetes, or whatever other nonsense for your personal plex install, unless you want to learn those technologies.
Install a base debian via netinstall, install docker, install plex, done.
There is nothing like interacting with real people to show you how unreal, unproductive, and honestly uninfluential the chronically online environment is.
This: the internet is fake bullshit from start to finish.
At this point, staying online feels a lot like making a choice to be miserable and have shitty mental health.
And yes, I'm aware the irony or whatever of someone posting that online, but my online footprint has gone from your usual corporate media shit down to... uh, Lemmy.
Which is not by any means perfect, but it's a lot less fucking awful than what Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/Reddit are trying very hard to do to you.
I'm not saying it is or is not a false positive, so please read the rest of my comment with that in mind.
But, that said, this is not new: AV has triggered on cracks and cheat software and similar stuff since forever.
The very simplified explanation is that the same things you do to install a rootkit, you do to cheat in a game with or crack software DRM.
Bigger but, though: cracks and game cheats have also been a major source of malicious software for just as long, so like, it's also entirely likely that it's a good catch, too.
Yep. Texas has been just-one-more-thing-happening from going blue for 25 years now.
So far, not a single damn one of those things, or even, somehow, the aggregate change of ALL of them has resulted in shit.
Cities are just as blue as they were, and the rest of the state is just as red, and the Republicans have remained in charge throughout it all.
And, before someone goes 'but gerrymandering!', the (R)s are maintaining control even in state-wide elections that are just a matter of getting more votes, too, so while you can argue that some of the stuff is probably gerrymandered, that's not the root cause of it either.
Another handful of people moving here isn't going to make one single bit of difference, and anyone thinking otherwise after literal decades of this kind of wishful thinking needs to take a deep breath and some introspection and figure out why they're still willing to buy that line.
I was about to make one because iDrive has decided to double their prices, probably because they could.
$30/tb/year to $50/tb/year is a pretty big jump, but they were also way under the market price so capitalism gonna capital and they're "optimizing" or someshit.
I've love to be able to push my stuff to some other provider for closer to that $30, but uh, yeah, no freaking clue who since $60/tb/year seems to be the more average price.
Alternately, a storage option that's not S3-based would also probably be acceptable. Backups are ~300gb, give or take, and the stuff that does need S3-style storage I can stuff in Cloudflare's free tier.
“Even in the best case, the models had a 35% error rate,” said Stanford’s Shah
So, when the AI makes a critical error and you die, who do you sue for malpractice?
The doctor for not catching the error? The hospital for selecting the AI that made a mistake? The AI company that made the buggy slop?
(Kidding, I know the real answer is that you're already dead and your family will get a coupon good for $3.00 off a sandwich at the hospital cafeteria.)
I hate to wreck this beautiful dream, but tech is not nearly as blue as everyone thinks it is.
I've never spent time around big tech types where the split wasn't 30% libertarians, 30% right-wingers, and 30% american-style liberals.
The problem there is the libertarians land all over the damn spectrum but you end up basically the same place you do everywhere else: it's a 50/50 split.
And let's be honest, the expectation here is that a lot of the employees won't move.
If the goal is to avoid "liberal bias", or whatever, moving the people from California to Texas won't do a damn thing. What you do is you move the jobs somewhere unpalatable, knowing full well this will let you do a mass layoff without it being a layoff, because people "chose" not to move to where their job is.
So we're going to get a couple of jobs, but they're going to be filled by people already here.
I dunno, I've just kinda changed what games I play to things that appear to also be the same kind of stuff that Epic is making deals to give away for free?
Also, in fairness, I do buy the occasional game for console even if it's available on PC as sales permit, but we're talking a game or two a year at most.
$5 says there's a hard fork led by all the commercial providers and anyone else who has a business that depends on Wordpress, and that it happens fairly soon.
It's GPLed, so while you can't call your fork Wordpress, you can just rename it and carry on with everything as it was, except you're no longer involved in dealing with crazy.
I'm not sure the average customer of any of those businesses knows or cares about the name of the software that their site runs, and won't give a single crap about it not being Wordpress but some other name while otherwise staying exactly the same - or, maybe, without an opinionated obstructionist sitting in front of the code approval path, perhaps even better.
