This sounds like a good idea.

That is why i keep most media as AVC/ACC mp4s. So to avoid transcoding. All video is 1080p or less. On a 1 Gb line.

Jellyfin on arch behind nginx. I connect with VPN, through NAT or on the local network. What else to say? I have noticed that syncplay is significantly more reliable through nginx. Not sure why that is. But it is still fragile. I’ve had this issue unresolved so long that I am just living with it. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, then i don’t use it.

Clients: firefox, jellyfin client, chrome, android client. The issue is pretty consistent across them all.

I mostly keep 8bit AVC/ACC, 2-channel mp4s. Some h265 as well. I have not noticed a pattern. Syncplay seem agnostic to encodings and filetypes.

I get the feeling that i am far from alone on this issue. There are threads out there.

Jellyfin ia great! But syncplay breaks if you snease.

Gonna require some more wise investments in open source and free software. Which require awareness from decision makers.

Remember that time when israel needed bad people to bomb? They asked an ai fed on this type of data.

Companies like google collects, stores and shares data on you.

I don’t want someone looking over my shoulder analyzing, interpreting and announcing to the world what I do all the time. I also don’t want a permanent record of that to exist. It hurts me when done to me. It hurts society when done to everyone. An example where it hurts you is when you go the insurance company and they deny you or make it expensive cause they have data on you, your behaviour, health and opinions.

It will also be used against you when your government decides they are no longer going to respect human rights or cracking down on the citizenry. They migh feed a big pool of data to an ai and the ai gives you a shitty social score. Nothing is forgotten and it will be missused and missinterpreted. Never for your benefit.

Need alternatives to have built-in, easy to use screenshare with audio. And of course great noise filtering on voice chats.

How well does jellyfin work on a rpi? How many simultaneous 1080p users with AVC\ACC media can it do? Active cooling?

Neat!

As I understand it, the establishing of the connection is reliant on a relay server. So this would not work on a local network without a relay server and would, by default, try to reach a server on the internet to make connections.

rsync is indeed fiddly. Consider SFTP in your GUI of choice. I mount the folder I need in my file browser and grab the files I need. No terminal needed and I can put the folders as favorites in the side bar.

In general, they collect anything and everything they can get their hands on. So limiting their access, as much as possible, is the way to go.

Syncthing has been discontinued for android. Or so I heard.

That is not entirely accurate. Those laws will be selectively enforced against you in particular, cause they don’t like you. This is a very common tactic in less civilized places. Have rules that no one is following and you have something to hold against your citizens when it suits you. So it does indeed matter.
