Soon I'll be saying "please clap." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] binux@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* To be fair Poe's law is a pretty common problem in internet communication. Obviously ambiguity of intent is pretty easily avoided with good writing but it's also convenient for a lot of people to be able to dodge that with a few relatively standardized characters. Although I can agree in the sense that it often feels like a lazy fix for otherwise bad jokes or dialogue, too often I see something in the vein of "WE NEED TO BLOW UP ORPHANAGES!!! /j" and because there's a tone indicator in there it somehow manages to write off the lack of actual quality. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 2 points 5 months ago 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 permalink fedilink source parent [–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago not the commenter your responding but yes with proper setup travel is no issue. I've never tried to host in the cloud so I have no input on that, but locally + tailscale is very doable and pretty dead simple to setup and manage. I would highly recommend the linuxserver.io docker image. with a modern cpu and the docker image, transcoding won't be too much of an issue with most titles and only one or two users. my server has media only in hevc, so some clients need transcoding. my 3700k is perfectly fine with it. if you want to expose it to a domain you gotta be a little more careful, reverse proxy + an external auth provider like authentik at minimum is what I would suggest. fail2ban and anubis are also great ideas. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply) [–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) What about Emby?
