I haven’t seen any of the sequels, but why do they keep letting JJ Abrams write/direct movies? He ruined Star Trek too.

Thanks for the list. I too have been investigating PHRs (Personal Health Records), and I am glad to see more and more interest in this space.
MediKeep looks interesting, and hopefully we’ll see connections with some of the major EHRs, so we can import our data.
My dream is to be able to import my data, modify it, then send out changes back to my providers. I am shocked at how much out of date or wrong information is in my records from my primary care!
Some more to add to the list:
I wrote some open source software[1] many years ago for mapping out bus routes, their stops, timetables, and everything else. It’s pretty old and probably only runs on linux.
It will let you generate GTFS data (the standard for transit), and then there are OSM importers for GTFS data.
The nice thing, is that since GTFS data has routes, stops, timetables, holidays, …, it will work with any of the routers with OSM.

I would consider jellyfin + ersatztv. ersatztv lets you create “live” channels and define your own programming. Instead of the kids having a free for all of being any to stream any of the media you give them access to, you instead give them access to a few channels.
One of the nice things about it, is the channel can go “offline” at certain times. So, if you have a strict bedtime of 8pm, the shows will literally finish at 8pm, and the channel will stop. No more “let me watch on more video!”
I have several channels like:
that they can switch between, but that is all I give them.
If you don’t need transcoding, then anything should be able to handle it. But, if you are planning to stream over the Internet to your phone on LTE, you’ll “probably” want transcoding, or if you are streaming to set top boxes, they may not support the codecs you used, and will also require transcoding.
I personally am using Jellyfin, and find it to be great for TV shows, movies, and you tube (via tubearchivist + its jellyfin plugin). It’s dead simple to setup, its metadata is perfect, and there are great frontends for it. Other than the big update from about 6 months ago, it has mostly been a set it and forget it.
Some people use jellyfin for music, but I find navidrome a much better option for music.
I run my media server on a fitlet2. It isn’t super powerful, but has been a great little machine. It can transcode 1080p just fine, but would struggle for doing anything higher than that.
It hosts about 30 other things too, including my camera and NVR with frigate.


Mere was interesting, but it runs entirely offline in a browser (which is pretty cool). But, this means all data lives in your browser’s localStorage (or indexdb), which would make it hard to sync between devices.


Sure. But I’d also not host it publicly on the Internet, just on my local lan!


I’m curious what is different. I already import WireGuard .conf files and turn them on/off with nmcli
This is where tools like bubblewrap (bwrap) come in. For opencode, I heavily limit what it can see and what is has access to. No access to my ssh keys or aws credentials or anything else.
They also sell flac. Bandcamp is my primary but 7digital is great for popular stuff.


I think everyone should start sending in resumes and just flood their system.
It’s a side car service for navidrome so you already need to have navidrome (or other subsonic compatible server) running.


How does this handle IAM policies? At work we have a blackened that relies on S3 and IAM policies. For local development we use minio as it seamlessly handles that. Does garage?


I’m a big fan of Jellyfin. I would say it is easily family approved. That is for my family in my household who is using it on our home Wi-Fi.
But I am not about to expose it publicly. I have WireGuard set up on my immediate family’s devices and that is mostly ok (until you get on a public Wi-Fi that fails because you haven’t gone through their portal and can’t because the vpn is on, or you are on an airplane’s Wi-Fi with no internet trying to watch their movies and it doesn’t work until you turn off the vpn). Explaining this to my wife has been a nonstop battle.
I’d like it open it up to my siblings families, especially because I have the ersatztv plug-in to create approved child stations, but so many smart tvs and devices don’t support a vpn. How have others handled that situation?


How has immich been compared to photoprism? My issue with immich is that new releases kept breaking things. Has it finally stabilized? Lts are super important to me as I don’t want to spend every weekend reconfiguring services for my family.
This costs me not just time, but money. I know it isn’t much but is really a big pain. The biggest issue is that the app and recommendation algorithm isn’t going to be useful with 20 songs. You really need 1000s of songs to actually use the app…


This is very interesting. Do you know anyone who has actually tried these?


Have you tried it with a Roku? My pi.hole blocks most things, but I haven’t yet tried to completely block it from the Internet. In the past, I’ve had to allow some domains through my pi.hole or things would be completely broken, but that hasn’t happened in a while…
I suppose I’d have to occasionally unblock it to get updates to the jellyfin app, which is doable.


How good is Jellyfin on AppleTV? My understanding was the app was a bit lacking…
Oh boy. While I would recommend using flatpak or bwrap if you want a sandbox, my guess is you probably need to give the container access to the devices in /dev, like:
--device /dev/dri/:/dev/dri/or
--device /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128You might also need to make sure the user inside the container actually has access to that device.
I’d suggest looking at Jellyfin’s Hardware Acceleration Docs since it goes into detail on getting hardware acceleration working within docker.
