If people choose not to use software that’s open source because of the way people talk on some thread… were they intellectually thinking about their own best interests? It’s like no longer enjoying a show because some fans did something cridge - anything popular enough will have weirdos (from someone’s perspective).

What’s it from?

You mean a morally “right” solution? 😇

2. Open source has high immunity to devs making changes at the expense of user for their benefit because anti-features can be removed. Recommending another proprietary alternative here would be like saying they aught to leave an abusive partner but then recommend someone with the same red flags.

Plex is in control of their user’s computing in a way Jellyfin isn’t. You can remove anti-features from Jellyfin software and even redistribute it. So it’s much less likely they would do something like Plex and it even doesn’t matter if they did as you can find others to work on it in a way you want. Plex is proprietary software, Jellyfin is software freedom.

Did it download the original file or are there download options transcoded on the server?

Although Plex is running on your server it isn’t there to do what you want… unless Plex’s real owner permits it.

That’s how proprietary software works.

Not got around to trying it out properly yet. Waiting on new AMD GPUs, hoping for a low-end encoder or I may get access to a RX 480.

What does Jellyfin use .NET for?

Oh, my bad.

May be a good idea to include that update/correction in your prior post.

I came from a ~10 year old phone so FF5 was a big upgrade. Battery lasts the work day (may go from 80% to ~50% or ~30% mostly playing bluetooth audio for like 4 hours on and off). Fairphone uses some industrial chip instead of a mobile one - so it uses more power but they say it can get much longer updates than other phones. I usually have the screen set to 60Hz to save power, but a cheeky 120Hz session feels great. One bug is I can’t charge it in power save mode.

I got standard Android but replaced the proprietary store/apps (updates still requires Google Pain Store). I planned to try out an Android fork later but that’s was not as easy as I had naively thought. [Requires an SDK binary that come with non-free license and 3rd party guides to build it myself were rather dead].

I not aware it could run non-android OS - do you have exp installing a Linux phone OS? How did you find that? I’ll have to look into FF5 compatibility.

Have you considered Fairphone 5? Might not compare to modern phones but it’s very repairable.

Damn. I think a few updates have happened on the App but not seen an issue yet. Guess I’ll update the docker image when an app update does break it - family don’t use it often and I don’t want to manage their phone updating the app.

Apparently docker images must be manually updated, so currently I don’t. Thanks for the info.

Does Immich auto update / breaking changes?

HexOS makes using TrueNAS easier, is the claim.

I have never used TrueNAS so I can only say from what I’ve heard that I could easily break it (I have used Proxmox to run some web tools and game servers but that’s a borked project currently).

An OS on top of TrueNAS for self hosting media.

You probably would be wise to not enact that line of logic.

Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.

In 2022, maintainers (…) founded the company Gitea Limited with the goal of offering hosting services using (proprietary) versions of Gitea. (…). The shift away from a community ownership model received some resistance from some contributors, which led to the formation of a software fork called Forgejo. From Wikipedia.
