I know the correct pronunciation, but it will always be ware-ez to me.

Its currently in the humble choice bundle with 7 other games for $12.

Ehh, i get it. I live in the same world.

Still, I would lean in if my org asked me to stand up a mastodon instance.

Taking on tech debt is pretty common thing for IT. We spend all day standing up services for various internal orgs.

Mature orgs should be able to automate deploy of services like mastodon, so depending on various factors it's not that big of an ask.

So y'all just pissing in cherrios today?

This is a brand new, opt in interoperability tool between 2 small-ish social networks. No shit its not heavily used yet. People who are using it can ask their friends to bridge, which will bring growth over time, just like any social networking experience.

What exactly are you complaining about? That someone else did something cool you don't care about? That other people may enjoy something you don't?

Interoperability removes power from closed gardens. It makes the platform itself way less relevant.

"Bending over backwards" is how you undermine bluesky in favor of mastadon. We should 100% be doing it as much as possible.

Ohh yeah, it's very slick. Really deep features, compatible with everything, great UI.

Its the same dev that made Yatze, the best kodi app remote, so it was a quick sell for me.

Hmm, not using finamp. I'm pretty happy with Synfonuim.

Cant speak to that aspect.

Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip alone is way better than Plex's.

The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.

The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.

I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It's way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.

The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.

Can't speak to his method, but the jellyfin media sever has a YouTube plugin called Fintube that uses the above downloader to integrate YouTube content.

Email was invented in 1983.

It was revolutionary, the utter example of a "killer app" that had people and businesses running out to buy computers just to replace paper memos. You setup your mail server to hook into that brand new, stunning ecosystem of near instant communication from across the world.

Now there are 6,000,000,000 "killer" apps you can install in seconds from your pocket computer. I can hit "install" and be talking face to face with a stranger in Singapore in 30 seconds, all from easy, low effort walled gardens.

Federation was and is a reasonable way to host things, but comparing current systems to email is a misnomer. People dealt with federation because they had to. If gmail has existed in 1983, no one would have had their own federated email servers. Hell, AOL tried to choke the internet itself to death and almost succeeded in the early 90s because it was an "all in one" solution. They had aol only webpages and everything, including email. Its a twist of fate that they failed, mainly due to the onset of always on broadband, not because people didn't want things easy.

Make things easy, people will use it. They will only do hard if they have to.
