That would break his heart

It’s cute that homeboy thinks it’s learning.

What kind though?

I forgot to check that, stupid of me.

I actually should be able to do it. The files are hosted on a drive I have at home mounted on a raspberry pi, the drive is then mounted on the vps through sshfs, so while it would take a while I think the pi might do it. Otherwise I’ll just do it on my desktop, the drive is mounted through sshfs here too.

Ah that’s good.

I might be misinformed then, I’ll have look better into it.

It’s a vps so maybe I am indeed lacking hardware.

Kavita is the one I was looking at as well. I hear plex is closed source and I prefer using open.

Have you tried installing Jellyfin as a docker container? The official image as well as the linuxserver.io’s image?

I tried docker, yes. I have to check if I used linuxserver.io image but I did use the official one for sure.

Plex and Emby are some alternatives, but these are closed-source solutions.

Aw heck, I’d prefer foss

While I am posting from a lemmy account (because I didn’t know about kbin when I made it) if I was to host one of the two it would be kbin. The reason is that lemmy has some hardcoded moderation things inside it that I disapprove of. I believe I should be able to say anything I want without fear of being censored on my own self hosted instance and this comes from a leftist, I don’t want to use bad words to insult people, but if I want to use them in a different context I want to be able to. If I see an argument between a bigot and a fellow lgbtq and the bigot calls my comrade with a slur I want to be able to describe the situation using the exact words used. I think maybe it’s a cultural difference thing, where I live using slurs in a context where we describe a situation rather than for insulting someone it’s not seen as a bad thing. We don’t give those words so much power and importance to the point that even just saying the words makes people gasp. I believe that censoring some words by default without even considering the context they are being used in doesn’t help, I believe it just gives the words more power while we should aim to take power away from them.

Also kbin has a much prettier UI in my opinion.

First time I read about it, what’s great about it? I currently use a combo of alacritty and tmux and aside for a thing or two I could configure better I love it.

Thanks, ruby was another language I saw in the thread popping a few times, the first one being python. I I was told a few things python can be good for, can you give me a few examples of good uses for ruby just to have a vague idea?

My main focus is to learn a programming language, I tend to work better when I know I can do something fun and making games seemed like as good a goal as any other since I do play games a lot. I feel like the satisfaction of being able to see my sprites move would be an incentive, but it’s definitely not my main end goal, just a nice side effect.

Thank you for your post, before this thread I thought that all the C named languages (c, c++ and c#) were at least similar but it looks like it’s not the case.

I knew they are different but I also assumed they’re at least similar, is that a wrong assumption? Will learn one make little difference if I learn another after?

That’s interesting how for some people the same languages can be the opposite. Maybe I’ll start with one and if it goes poorly I’ll try the opposite side.

Thank you very much for the post and the good luck :) Python does seem to be the most recommended language in the thread so it’s likely I’ll go for that, I’ll take a loot.

I heard about pygame, I was hopeful but oh well. I also heard about godot but I didn’t know if it was similar to something else.

Thank you, it’s pretty encouraging to consider that skills transfer relatively easy if I do decide to move onto something else, it’s not something I considered.
