  • Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

    Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

    Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

    Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

    The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

    When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.


    I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

    And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!


  • I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

    • Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
    • Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
    • Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
    • Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
    • Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
    • Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
    • Graphene on a pixel

    Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

    One of the unexpected benefits of running grapheneos is that shit like whatsapp can’t cope without having play services available and, as such, doesn’t really do real time notifications. It still checks in every now and then, but that’s definitely bettee than it working “properly”.
