Q

Marathons don’t move at the speed of business though. Progress moves business faster. Commerce IS business. Fast businesses use speed to move faster than their clients speed.

Business, business business. Speed. Solutions.

Edit: how am I being downvoted lol - obviously what I wrote is nonsense straight from every Amazon, UPS, IBM commercial every made. Maybe I’m just moving at the speed of business. Keep up!

Do I have to put them in like batteries with one head first and one tail first. Then realize it doesn’t work and take them out and reverse it?

Yep, Firefox was not consistent with their updates for a while and had an issue not being easily managed. So a lot of IT teams blocked FF. Anyone in a zero trust environment needs apps with consistency. I think Mozilla fixed this but it’s too late for many companies.

I’m not an expert but it was explained to me. Edge and chrome are the defaults.

I know you asked for selfhost, it just didn’t seem worth it to me when I looked into it. I switched to migadu for hosting my email service. didn’t want to run my own server but now with this setup I can go anywhere and keep the same email at any time.

There are plenty of alternatives. I liked being limited by emails sent/received instead of domains and email Addresses.

Works well for me, 5 months into this setup.

I don’t use the mulvad thing, but I do not set my tailnet device as an endpoint. Only traffic meant for my server gets to my network.

Lots of ways to do it.

The biggest thing is, jf will feel different. Give it a chance, run it side by side Plex for a while. Fix your media database or update your files, do some spring cleaning, and pick jf to watch your stuff until t feels natural. Then it’s time to bring users over.

I was an early adopter to Plex, came over from Boxee when it was a thing and bought a very inexpensive lifetime pass.

I jumped ship about a year ago to jellyfin. I use tailscale and just help people set it up. After initial setup, it’s a toggle and start jellyfin and it functions pretty close to Plex. My users use the Onn box or Nvidia shield. Almost nothing has to transcode. I had issues with poorly encoded mp4 files but mkv streams flawlessly without transcode. Transcode itself is limited by graphics chip.

One note, I don’t add people to my tailscale, each user has their own tailnet and then I join it to mine by inviting them to my server. This gets around the 3 user limit.

Overall, some annoyance and pain but not bad and people went along with my plan and now it’s just normal.

My thing was, it’s my server. If they want what I have then buy an Onn or whatever and spend 15 minutes setting things up. Or don’t. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
