Nice! I’m glad you were able to figure it out :)

Let it rest on the 7th day and then there will be light.

I was not actually presenting a scenario where my grandmother would use a VPN.

I was pointing out that this community is full of people who are perfectly capable of learning to use a VPN. In response to this comment:

Unfortunately, not everyone is tech-literate enough nowadays to understand how a VPN works, nor do they want to

That’s a true statement about ‘everyone’ i.e. the entire population of the planet… but true about everyone here in this community.

What do you mean by stuttering? It’s not keeping the buffer filled for the player? It contains extraneous consonants?

Is this happening in the web interface? Android App? Jellyfin Media Player? Roku? Xbox? PS4? a Tesla dashboard?

Is Jellyfin running in a container? Linux? Windows? TempleOS?

But, to be serious, What have you tried so far? The answer is almost always some form of ‘look at the logs’ and ‘use Google on any errors that occur’ or if you’re not rabidly anti-AI and have access to an agentic AI with web access you can go that route.

Nah, if it works for you then use it. There are no rules here!

Look at Tailscale (or self-host headscale)

It’s a bit of learning (like all of these other things) but it’s a very powerful tool.

I do agree with the general point that Jellyfin shouldn’t require a VPN.

But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I’d already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

Use NFS for your sanity. Linux samba/CIFS is annoying to deal with.

Also, mpv

Yes, not everyone. My grandmother would struggle setting up a VPN, for example.

However, a community member of the selfhosted community is perfectly capable of reading a manual and learning the software.

That’s how you become tech literate in the first place, and you’re already on that path if you’re commenting/reading here.

You only have to give them access to a specific port on a specific machine, not your entire LAN.

My VPN has a ‘media’ usergroup who can only access the, read-only, NFS exports of my media library.

If you’re just installing Wireguard and enabling IP forwarding, yeah it would not be secure. But using a mesh VPN, like Tailscale/Headscale, gives you A LOT more tools to control access.

Audiobookshelf is probably what you’re after.

It supports both e-books and audiobooks. It has a web interface and a native Android app. It saves your reading/audiobook progress in your account so you will always be in the same spot no matter which way you access it. It also allows you to make multiple accounts if you have multiple users.

Docker/Podman containers available and it’s possible to run the server on Windows, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s the docs: https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs

Web UI:

Browsing a Library:

Browsing e-book info:

Reader and chapter selection:

And, I’m going to guess that you like statistics:

e: Put the images in spoilers to save the reader’s scrolling strength e2: oops header tag is double #, not single x.x

Another option is that instead of trying the bare metal install, get docker working: https://gist.github.com/manoedinata/d93549d85acbee94f37683fa6cbd626e

Then you can just use the pihole container.

The US confirmed that an aircraft was hit, landed safely and the pilot was in stable condition. We don’t know that this is the video

The US wouldn’t show the aircraft, that would allow adversarial nations to gather specific information about the damage and to use the footage for propaganda.

Iran has access to modern SAMs they will be able to hit these aircraft.

That’s assuming that they can survive long enough. Turning on a radar is a death sentence because these missions include SEAD aircraft who are just waiting to launch a HAARM at any radar emitters.

In addition, electronic warfare aircraft would be jamming the launchers and missiles. It’s hard to see a tiny RCS aircraft with another aircraft shining, what is effectively a strobe light, at the sensors on both the launcher and missile.

I’m not here to pretend that the US is going to keep getting away without losses to enemy fire… I would not at all be surprised if we see Iran score air kills.

I would also not at all be surprised if we see Iran posting fake propaganda footage online. So tiny clips of unverified videos should be treated skeptically and not catapulted to popularity on social media.

That video cuts off when the missile detonates, the next 2-3 seconds would show if the aircraft was damaged or not. We certainly don’t see ‘smoke trails’ (other than from the missile) or the jet veering off course.

It could be a video of a near miss, but there’s not enough video to say anything. This video isn’t exactly from a trustworthy source, the IRGC has an obvious motivation to fabricate stories.

In addition, that same video could be made in a computer game like DCS in an hour or so.

So it could show a near-miss on an F-35 or it could be the result of some IRCG operation who read the same reporting of jets landing with damage, faked a video to blast across the Internet and gave them to people like OP to blast across the Internet.

This has all of the red flags of misinformation.

They should not be able to hit our planes absent some technological advances on their part, big ones.

I’m not sure where you got this idea.

Stealth aircraft are not invisible or invulnerable. They have a low radar cross section, that’s it. If they are close to the radar they can be seen, if a missile is using active guidance then it’s close enough to see them.

If they shoot enough missiles and sacrifice enough radar emitters they will eventually get a hit.

The video, which is dubiously sourced and the UI looks more like a video game, shows an aircraft under after burner and then a missile explodes. The video cuts off before you can see any damage, given that the explosion appears larger than the aircraft it is more likely that the missile exploded below the aircraft and closer to the camera.

The stories that people are linking to corroborate the video are of a jet which took damage and landed. That is not a ‘direct hit’, at best they had a near miss and ate some shrapnel.

The video source is untrustworthy, the public reporting in other sources indicate at worst a near-miss, the video is cut before you can see any damage and the OP is spreading it around like propaganda while declaring the end of America.

This story has all of the hallmarks of a misinformation campaign being signal boosted by IRGC & allies. A lot of the commenters here read like low parameter LLMs (thought it is possible that they’re just idiots) trying to drive a false consensus that a F-35 being hit with shrapnel is the end of American air power.

Anyone who believes this dubiously sourced garbage is just naive.

It’s possible for the equipment that Iran has to hit an F-35 in optimal conditions and it is likely that they will eventually get lucky and score a hit. But this video does not show a ‘direct hit’.

The dude is spreading dubiously sourced videos across all of the major political communities on Lemmy and declaring the death of America.

I’d say the nature of their hostility is the fact that they are upset that their comrades are concrete reinforced jelly and the only weapons available to them is fake videos made in DCS and a brigade of alt accounts.

A video shared by Tehran Times claims to show the moment a US F-35 fighter jet was hit during a combat mission over Iranian airspace. The clip shows the aircraft appearing to take damage, with explosions, smoke trails, and the jet veering off course midair.

Where’s the video showing this.

No wonder you grew up to be an Internet troll.

Yeah, I completely understand, at least you don’t have to worry about flushing it down the toilet.

We? You got a frog in your pocket?

That’s the most believable thing I’ve read on social media in the past hour.
