I use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

Wait I don’t have a reverse proxy because I don’t need one. I just installed the jellyfin for windows version and then you just connect to it.

I didn’t. I don’t need remote access. We don’t watch TV outside the house.

Right on that’s great to hear

Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

It truly is!

Wow, is your entire website AI generated slop?

You don’t like the one you posted to the Jellyfin comm labout 30min ago? If not then why share it?

Is your next post going to be in a baking comm asking people if they have considered just buying a loaf at the grocery? Its an important life lesson to get early that its OK that other people have different tastes and priorities than you do.

So true! I met a friend of a friend at a church social last week and he spent the whole time trying to convince me to try FreeBSD instead of selfhosting on Windows. I might try it someday but as polite as he was about it he just couldn’t get the hint lol
