We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines.

Specs

Must have

• hosted on promise
• reliabile
• unlikely to be discontinued in the next >5 years
• for a group of at least 20 people

Plus

• gui / windows integration

What would you recommend?

For weeks, I can't reach qwant maps anymore. Is it down for you guys as well? Does anyone know anything? There isn't even a mention on their main pages of it anymore. They just purged everything without further notice. Is that the same experience for you? I'm accessing with a VPN from within france.

I don't have yet any preferences. Cheap, easy to set up, secure. What do you use and can recommend?

If I want to opt out, I can only opt out by disabling all usage telemetry according to the official doc https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-data-mozilla-help-improve-firefox . That means that my usage habits and the usage habit of all people that do not want to share their search terms with firefox, i.e. all somewhat privacy interested people is just thrown into the void. For future browser decisions, this means that the browsing behavior of a whole group is neglected. This makes me sad.

I can't get it to work. I wonder if it's the operating system. What system do you use it on? I'm on fedora.

I try to follow the docs but somehow it doesn't work as expected. How does your compose file look and what to choose in the settings?

My current setup: (Not working)

services:
  # original source: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/container/
  jellyfin:
    image: docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=https://my.url
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config:Z
      - ./cache:/cache:Z
      - ./media:/media:rw
    ports:

    restart: always
    device:

      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128:Z
    group-add:
      - 105
    privileged: true

I do not want a privileged container but I'm experimenting.

• VAAPI is selected
• VA-API device: is set to /dev/dri/renderD128
• enable hardware decoding for : H264, HEVC, HEVC 10bit and VP9 10 bit
• enable hardware encoding
• allow encoding in HEVC

to get the group I ran getent group render | cut -d: -f3 on the host which returned 105.

$ podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Trying display: drm
libva info: VA-API version 1.21.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_21
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 24.2.1 (0593864)

This command returns VA-API does that mean I can only (or I should) select this method? Or is QSV also possible? What's better?

I can't find them.

Edit: found it. No idea what the problem was.

I stumbled upon noice a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful app. It just plays noise, e.g. bird sounds. You can set a timer, e.g. 5 minutes and it'll stop after that. That's perfect for meditation or sleeping. I'm just a random user who likes the app.

whenever I try to run a podman container, it'll through:

Error: running container create option: container has joined pod 4f[long_string]b1f and dependency container 34[long_string]9cd is not a member of the pod: invalid argument

An example of a dependent container compose file looks like this:

It worked until yesterday. I updated to fedora 40. I am not sure if that is just a coincidence or if that's the reason. Should I downgrade to 39?

I assume it's not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let's say I don't want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

Edit: thank you guys!

It feels completely different, yet very similar. I like it. Feels like the most modern app on my phone now.

Edit: I don't like the floating action button search but that's just my opinion. Maybe I just have to get used to it.
