The good thing about Linux is, it’s not very ressouce demanding. If you pick the xfce version of Mint, you can get away with 4GB of RAM. But you won’t have that much fun coding as soon as you start something more ressource heavy (big data sets, ML, …) so this depends a little in which direction you want to go. However see if you can find something used, preferably something you can open from the back side to upgrade components like SSD and RAM (cheaper than buying higher specs)

Sorry, I meant risk taking not averse (not my 1st language) Regarding the bugs, they get usually fixed within days

*10.9 if not latest. For the risk averse folks out there, check out https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower I just let it run every night, so far w/o problems

I struggled with Kubuntu as newbie (coming from Windows) - Mint was easier for me and I sticked with it (Cinnamon in my case, but my laptop is more powerful)

Most of my PRs are fixing typos in the Readmes 8) It ain’t much, but it’s honest work

My employer trying to force spyware on our work computers (that was only available for Win and Mac)

Okay, let’s play this game :D Mint, because it’s frickin easy and fulfills all my needs while being stable enough for my work laptop

I got one with a Chromecast 4K - when Stadia was announced to shut down, Google refunded the whole bundle. Both are still in use and were basically free

Afaik the devs were in contact with the dev of introskipper about implementing it natively into Jellyfin. Maybe the archieving means there is heavy progress with this

I know and I tell her that, too - it’s just something to consider when calculating the wife approval factor

My gf likes to click on ad entries of Google searches - that doesn’t work

If the course of study isn’t fixed, yet, you could look for a “Duales Studium” and ask the company to start earlier/asap - most likely they’ll accept. But Werkstudent is probably better

Thanks for posting here, Anthony! 🫶

I’d recommend finding a tutorial for Docker+Portainer - Portainer is a container as well, which provides a web-gui to conveniently manage all your other containers (without having to touch the CLI ever again)

Thank you for the explanation. Before Authelia I used Cloudflare ZeroTrust email-autentification, but switched, because I wanted full self hosting. Relying on DUO instead would bring me back to that dependant situation. In other words, I’ll probably stick with my Authelia solution for now

Nice - does it work with the Android App, Chromecast etc? Currently using Authelia and NGINX proxy manager for 2FA, but that’s limited to browsers

The Hacs Integration makes use of the device’s API - don’t know if it is their intended use of it, but it works

You can turn off the internet access at almost all Tuya devices by making use of the local tuya HACS add on in home assistant. Maybe that’s helpful for your research

Don’t worry, most of this is about learning :) You could also put Docker on the Linux, install Jellyfin as a Docker container, and only fore it up when you are using Jellyfin. It’s a little less convenient, than having it available all the time, but storing all media in H264 AC3 (most common video and audio codecs) costs a lot of storage (H265 and AV1 are far more efficient). Another pro of Docker is, when you decide to move your server, you just shut down the container, copy it’s data and start the container on the new device

You’ll have to keep in mind, that the pi is not really suitable for RAID and not at all for transcoding. The latter means if you have all your media in codecs your devices support, it’s direct play only, it will work, but as soon as you need to transcode, you will have a hard time
