Jellyfin is a nice frontend + transcode manager for your folder of mashed up .mp4 files. Main benefit is streaming to any device (with compatible jf client) on your network
You're on the money with compatibility. At work I have equipment with accompanied proprietary software designed to run on RHEL. All hosts on my network run it, about 60% desktop and the rest blades
A bit niche. I wanted to be comfortable with the system both as a user and as an admin so I daily drive it. Not the best user experience, but I've learned how to work around most issues people encounter with it and it's helped a lot
My preference outside of that would be really mixed. My spare time is dedicated to virtualization and containers so I'm mostly using a hypervisor like proxmox. As a desktop interface I'd probably choose something with gnome. Fedora is good, I've used it in the past and liked it
I grew up in a very conservative area. The people in my demographic only want to see change. The right wing government under Trump has been robbing the future blind with zero regard for anyone, but the sentiment I keep hearing is a perception that something is happening. "He's deporting the criminals," "he's saving our jobs," "he's making other countries pay us," "he's making America safe," ergo the idea that progression in any direction is progress. People are stupid and short sighted when they are struggling. So the adoption of populism makes a lot of sense to me
Another anecdote, there was a guy I used to work with that would say "we have to go all the way right to come back to center" and they actually believe that would happen lol
There are people at my job like that and it's so annoying. They never answer any questions about how they do things, so I'm having to reverse engineer their solutions if they decide not to be available lol
It's so frustrating how successful soloing information in corporate environments is
The transcode performance on the apple silicon is pretty solid if you wanted to go the media server route. Or have a really expensive NAS host lol
I have a macbook for work and I like it generally, it integrates well with other *nix environments. But if you don't use a laptop or don't want to have the uncomfortable interruption to your hotkey muscle memory it's a bit useless. I'd either sell it and/or find someone in my network that needs it
Archiving the original data is important. This is censorship, plain and simple. It's more important than ever to make sure we educate our children and peers about our history instead of whitewashing everything. 10 years from now I'm really hoping these events will be seen as nationalist vitriol
