    Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it’s run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.

    There’s a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.

    Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it’s not a problem.

    TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.

    What has worked for me quite well over the last few years was answering the phone without saying anything. Spammers usually are dead silent as it’s just a voice recognition bot waiting for a “hello” or similar and hang up within a couple of seconds if nothing is said. Regular people have “static” most of the time. I’ve had a few recruiters call while having their mic on mute, but they start talking themselves fairly quickly.

    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!

    killall -9 processname works well when you can’t be asked to get the pid.

    kill -9 $$ is my favourite way to save face when I enter something into shell that shouldn’t be in its history. Usual situation - switching panes and forgetting a recently used sudo session. Switching to root and getting there without a password prompt, but still typing it in. Wouldn’t be helpful in situations where shell history is monitored remotely, but hey ho.
