Thank you for the compilation, I’ll take a look at these.

My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

You’re right, thanks.

Good perspective, thanks.

That’s fair. I’m making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it… or not, which in that case they won’t go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that’s if they really enjoy it. I don’t think it’s uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and “force” them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn’t hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.

Haven’t tested it, but I’m hoping Kodi works well. I’m waiting on my Vero V to arrive, which comes with OSMC (FOSS linux distro made to run Kodi).

I have no issues with Jellyfin + Symfonium, but I also cache my songs offline. I almost never play a track that hasn’t been downloaded.

I’ve had issues with duckdns failing over the past year or so (their server going down - outages). I guess it could be something on my side, but it happened often enough that I switched to my own domain. Haven’t had any outages since, and I can use subdomains now for routing.

100% Symfonium is awesome.

I haven’t built one myself, but you could look into TrueNas.

I looked into nginx for minecraft, but minecraft doesn’t use http headers, so I’d have to open minecraft ports on the router. Would this alleviate that? What’s the difference between this setup and using something like a cloudflare tunnel? Obviously, there is still some reliance on Cloudflare.

So if I made my own Lemmy instance, and subscribed to !selfhosted, does that mean if Lemmy.world went down, the !selfhosted community is still up?
