PO box or phone number are not an option around my parts, unfortunately, but a simple email alias is a rather obvious solution that I'm embarrassed to not have considered.

You rock! The Jellyfin Android TV app on a LineageOS-Pi4 is my current preferred way of bringing Jellyfin to my TV. I tried messing around with Kodi-based solutions for a while but if you don't like the default behaviors there then it's an absolute nightmare timesink to reconfigure. AndroidTV Jellyfin client - install, open, everything is in its place already.

While I have to apologize for not being able to provide you with any help for the problem at hand I just wanted to note that if you open up identical public threads via a reddit account and via a lemmy account at the same time then those two accounts are then, for data analysis purposes, connected for all eternity. You might as well not bother using different nicknames.
If that isn't a concern to you then just ignore my ramblings.

Would you answer the same way if somebody asked you a question during a real-world conversation? If not, why?

Then I installed Kodi, along with the Kodi Jellyfin add on. The add on syncs the Jellyfin database to the Kodi one, so you use the Kodi interface to browse the Jellyfin content. This seems to work great!

Which Kodi theme are you using? I haven't really found a satisfying fire-and-forget solution that could deal with 6+ different kinds of libraries and also didn't require me to manually set up every menu option over the course of 3 hours.
Have you found an elegant way to manage multiple different users?

The linked build is based on LineageOS, not stock Android. Should be fully FOSS.

Two sets of my grandparents use Mint ever since, after two decades, I just couldn't be bothered to give Windows tech support anymore. It wasn't much of a "conversion" since they weren't really aware of it (and after about a year, when it came up in conversation, remarked something to the tune of "That's Linux then? That's nice."). And you know what, that's what a good operating system should be - invisible to the user. The general user doesn't care, they want to do stuff unrelated to the OS, they just happen to need an OS in order to do it.

Are there any obvious fire-and-forget solutions to hosting IRC servers for friends? With Mumble it's a simple sudo apt-get and you have your voice chat running, but at a first glance IRC seems to be a bit more involved, surprisingly so.

We don’t need to presume anything, OP can speak for themselves.

Sure they can! Until they do, there's my helpful take for the meantime.
But don't take my word for it, you could also piece together their intent by them thanking all the other helpful responses in this thread that happen to elaborate on legal obligations 😄

Asking the real questions! 😄

What do you mean by this?

Many things in life come with legal, moral or financial requirements and obligations. The OP presumably wishes to know whether there are any that they might not yet have considered in their situation.

Could you elaborate?

 

Hi! While looking for an answer I stumbled upon this old reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/107e03d/gt_710_vs_ryzen_7_3700x/

I unfortunately do not know how to interpret the information provided by nyanmisaka there.

Does "GT 710 doesn't support NVENC" mean that adding the older GPU wouldn't do anything to provide a performance boost to the server? Or only for videos encoded in a specific way? I.e. is there any point in keeping my passively-cooled GT710 in my server or should I just ditch it?

 

Now ever since I got a label printer I made it a habit to... well... label everything. It's been the a gamechanger in organizing my stuff.

This habit includes having a tiny label with my street address and mail address on most any item that I loan away or tend to regularly lug around with me as a general reminder of ownership. I forget about and lose stuff all the time, so this gives me some piece of mind with most of my medium-value little gadgets. I believe (and have experienced) that people are generally decent and will return lost stuff to me if it's easy for them to find out to whom it belongs.

Now it has occurred to me that this practice might be detrimental when applied to a smart cards in general and my Yubikeys in particular. After all, shouldn't a lost Yubikey be considered "tampered with/permanently lost" anyway, whether it's returned or not? And wouldn't an Email address on the key just increase the risk of some immediate abuse of the key's contents, i.e. GPG private keys, that would otherwise not be possible?

Or am I overhtinking this?
