It’s not a hard science. It’s still a real science. Unless you’re a scientologist then your opinion doesn’t matter anyway.

Is there an emby app available or Kodi? The base of Jellyfin should work in either. Plug and play as far as I’m aware with maybe some issues for certain versions.

I missed the Readarr part in my initial read through, but that is exciting. Jellyseer kind of has a recommendation section, mostly in popular and trending movies. I think it pulls from Trakt? Not entirely sure on that one. Either way, I’m looking forward to trying Mediawolf.

Or my favorite, Jellyseer. Seems to have mostly the same features. But I’m always looking for more and better.

It used to be against their TOS. They removed the language over a year ago last I saw.

You might be right, it might play in an external player. I don’t recall that or didn’t notice. We’re a few months from the last camping season. If it does play in an external player, seems like an inconvenience vs a dealbreaker, but I get it. We all have our things. I would argue that it’s maybe a big deal for you and not a majority of users. Maybe a small but focused minority.

Jellyfin allows you to download whatever you want to your local device. But in a world of streaming, it seems to be a much smaller usecase. I take my tablet camping with me all the time, download some shows via Jellyfin and watch via Jellyfin. Maybe you’re using the term “caching” differently from the use case, but if local files is what you’re after, it absolutely does it. Just click download in a couple of different locations.

I used a Cloudflare tunnel for security (no open ports) but that’s for people with limited tech ability mostly. Everyone else I’ve got connected with a tailscale node.

I’ve come to the conclusion that nextcloud is probably the best single Google replacement. “Old hardware” is a pretty broad definition, as I’ve still got Zip disks kicking around. But more than likely, you can run Nextcloud AIO reasonably well. The more RAM the better for sure. But you do get an online office, document storage and sharing, calendar, contacts, tasks (to replace Google Keep), text and video chat, picture storage, etc. Doing all of that really well can take a beefier machine, but keep things in perspective, be patient and you can at least get it going to see if you want to expand in the future.

My preference is paying for Unraid and using spaceinvaderone’s Nextcloud AIO package and accompanying video tutorial is the way to go. Unraid isn’t free, but I highly, highly recommend paying for it as a platform. I feel like it still allows some challenges in getting things set up but in a more fun way to reduce frustrations. And Unraid just does so much.

I’m doing that as well (mostly done except some tinkering and optimizations). It’s my third time setting up nextcloud, but this time it’s for real.

In my experience, that’s just true of all software. There’s a couple of high end InDesign plugins I use for work. Aside from that, I’m on my own.

As I understand and have been using it, you don’t need to turn off the tailscale connection. It’s only going to affect how any individual IP address gets routed. In this case, whatever the IP is of Immich. If a phone connected to your tailscale node (phone is anywhere in the world) wants 192.168.1.50 for example, tailscale redirects that request to the other end of the tailscale VPN which happens to be at your home instead of whatever network the phone is connected to. Any non defined IPs just go where they normally would.

Once I changed the default model, immich search became amazing. I want to show it off to people but alas, way too many NSFW pics in my library. I would create a second “clean” version to show off to people but I’ve been too lazy.

I went with Willow related naming.

My main server and NAS is Madmartigan. Proxmox server is Willow. Headless gaming machine is Sorsha. Bedroom/office laptop is Elora Danan Living room laptop is High Aldwin Then two raspberry Pi’s named Rool and Franjean.

I’m not even into Willow that much, I just wanted to find a world of characters I liked.

😁 I think we’ve all been there.

I think I might be able to help with Bazaar settings if you still want to try it. It took a lot of playing around with things, there weren’t any guides at the time I set it up. But I can send you screenshots of my settings and highlight the crucial settings.

There are some decent comments here overall with stuff I bet would help you. But it sounds to me like you have lost the appreciation and rewards from life and the world around you. I would wonder if you have undiagnosed anxiety.

This isn’t going to sound great probably, but the problem isn’t the world around you, it’s just you. The good news, ‘you’ is the only part of this you can fix. The rest, totally outside of your control.

You need to retrain your brain. Slow down to appreciate the smaller things. Even the tiniest things. Read up on the raisin technique. I think raisins are kind of dumb, but apply it to everyday things. Go slow. Examine. Savor. Eat slowly. And with each bite think of the process that got that very thing into your mouth. From growing the ingredients, raising, milking, whatever. The process and storage, maybe inspection, transporting it to the store, you buying it and cooking it. The skill it took to do that and the history of you cooking to get there. It’s an awful lot packed into each bite. Do that with as many bites as you can. Be mindful. Repeat it. You don’t need a different thought every time. Just keep thinking it through. And apply that to more things throughout your day as you’re able to. It’s not an overnight process but it’s much faster than you might think to regain the value, passion for things. Do this people as well. Forgo the NPC thoughts, and delve in. How they got to be who they are. Ask questions over time and build a mental roadmap.

That’s pretty much it. I could have easily written your post word for word a decade ago. With therapy and general learning, fighting anhedonia was a process. And still is. But I do appreciate things and I look forward to things. I often look forward the most to me not being me tomorrow but a slightly better version of me.

That’s what I use. It goes under the radar a lot and I don’t know why. I love that it shows me my sabnzb downloads and what streams are happening on Jellyfin at a glance.

She sounds overqualified for the position.
