I wonder if instead of Jellyfin + Tailscale, people should be doing Jellyfin + Netbird.

Netbird offers a reverse proxy, so you can easily expose Jellyfin to the public Internet and not have to jump through hoops for friends and family…

At least, in theory… I haven’t tried this setup yet, but I’m thinking about it…

I bought my parent’s an Android TV, just so they could install Tailscale on it. Unfortunately, Android TV keeps killing Tailscale or doesn’t launch it on boot. They’re old, so they can’t really troubleshoot VPN issues.

I tend to donate to projects that are on https://opencollective.com/

Mostly cuz in the past I opened an account with Open Collective.

Although, PayPal seems to be another popular choice.

Why is it called SLOPsmith… ?

Sorry, I’m new here.

Export your community subscriptions now, if you want to continue using PieFed on another instance.

Uhh… you’re coming back, right?? Or do we have to move off this server and migrate to another instance???

I’m out of the loop, why is common core bad?

Wha, why?

I didn’t get the C2 from Jolla. I got a third party device from a third party seller.

https://buy.jolla-devices.com/product/sony-xperia-10-iii-sailfish-os/

Sony Xperia 10 III from Jolla Devices.

The Xperia 10mk3 is one of the better (or the best?) supported SailfishOS device.

What are you telling me? That I have to reconfigure everything all the time?

No, Neo. I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to.

It’s kinda nice when you learn to like the defaults.

Jolla’s SailfishOS does work in the US on Mint Mobile. Source, I own a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS. I live in the US.

• where do I buy music?
• what device do I use to listen to music?
• if I use my phone, which apps should I use to listen to my music?
• if I use a dedicated device, how do I transfer music to it?
• if I use a dedicated device, how do I play the file formats I want?
• what’s a file format? which should I choose?
• what if i want more music than my device can hold?
• what is self-hosting?
• if i want streaming, what services should I use? How do I install them?
• what if I want android auto/carplay support?
• if I do streaming, what apps should I use? On Android? On iOS?
• what if I want an algorithm to help me find new music?
• how do I fix metadata that is wrong or add album artwork that’s missing?

(All questions answered in the video, btw.)

Wow, pretty comprehensive. Nice.

jolla-devices.com seems to ship to a ton of places. I just got a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS. Seems pretty decent so far. I’m in the US with Mint Mobile.

With a big caveat that it’s not fully FLOSS. But it is a Linux phone.

Qobuz is BOTH a music store and a streaming service.

Aaaah, the PS1. I have a good memory of visiting my cousin in Mexico City, where he told me he had someone tinker with his PS1 so he could play pirated games. Next time I visited, I brought my PS1 and it worked!

SailfishOS is a (non-Android) Linux phone that may be viable right meow!

SailfishOS runs fine (well?) on the Sony Xperia or the Jolla C2.

I just bought one a few weeks ago, but I haven’t had time to fully set it up yet (my house has been falling apart). I’m in the US with Mint Mobile and calls and SMS work. Camera works. Battery life is pretty decent. They have an Android compatibility layer that integrates pretty well into Sailfish. I was able to install F-Droid on it and then Bitwarden and Molly (Signal client) so far.

One of the more trickier apps I may need to install is Tailscale… but I’m thinking maybe I can switch to Netbird and use their reverse proxy and remove the need to install a VPN client on the phone altogether.

I’m not a heavy smartphone user, so for me I’m thinking this might be a viable path to take.

p.d. Yes, you can bring up a terminal. :)

Is this still the case?

Hm. The website seems to redirect to their main corpo page? www.makeaimediocreagain.com

Also, here’s a direct link to the commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73rkqkTY6dA

Yeah, 100% agree.

While not the ideal right now, I think Codeberg shows promise.

They’re working on federation: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation

Although, sure, it doesn’t seem to be their #1 priority. However, compared to GitHub this is a great step.

Also, again compared to GitHub or GitLab, Codeberg gives me more confidence because they don’t seem to be a commercial organization: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#what-is-codeberg-e.v.?

So “getting bought” or having to “please investors” seems less likely.

We need federation and open standards, 100% agree. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc are on the opposite side of that mission. SourceHut’s answer to federation is email… which I think most people will not like.

I’d love to hear about a source forge that is:

• non-commercial, non-VC backed to avoid enshittification
• FLOSS, self-hostable
• has federation today (or is even open to working on federation)
• doesn’t have awkward federation UX (like email)

No, really, I’d like to know. Codeberg is the only I know that approximates that list.

Waffling on moving to Codeberg because it’s not 100% perfect means supporting GitHub and drops the possibility of federated forges to 0%. Moving to Codeberg makes the future of federated forges go up to greater than 0%.

• option 3: self-host Netbird control plane
• option 4: use Netbird’s reverse proxy

Yes, yes, yes! It’s increasingly looking like Codeberg is going to be the destination lots of people will move to.
