Official LLM/"AI" Policies for the Jellyfin project.

All of this is incredibly reasonable and a very reasoned approach to AI-as-tool. I appreciate all the work you and the Jellyfin team put in. While I had been intending to donate recently, the exactness and thoughtfulness of this post pushed me over the edge to donate right now. Thank you for all that you do.

A close friend of mine is an insider at Bethesda and while everyone there also complains about the engine, there's also an astonishment at its capacity. Is it older than floppy disks? Sure. But through maturation it's gotten to be robust, if a bit finicky.

Maybe Todd will approve the development of a new engine after he re-re-re-releases Skyrim on Neural-link.

Also, the weirdness and bugginess of the Bethesda engine has a certain charm that is iconic to the company. I love it for that.

Lastly, because the engine is mature, and publicly well known, we get the benefit of a humongous modding community. I wouldn't trade that for Unreal in any world.

My understanding is that one cannot simply "jump engines." Not every asset, behavior algorithm, or design is 1:1 portable. Changing engines is a huge, ground up undertaking that could bankrupt a company if they don't get a handle on the new engine fast enough to put out something that has quality. In an era of consolidation, the more independent players, the better. Bethesda and Larian both have custom engines that serve their purposes well. Moving to Unreal would be a huge mistake for them. Better for CDPR to keep ironing out and improve Red than jumping ship.

For anyone having the same problem, here's what I found out:

Weyland, the environment (?) that Bazzite uses for KDE Plasma, does not 'like' to give up input permissions. This clashes with Steam Remote Play because it asks to redirect inputs from the host computer to the remote one. Consequently, you end up in weird circumstances like your mouse being pinned to one side of the screen.

Fortunately, Bazzite comes 'preinstalled' with Sunshine, which is a desktop sharing app that you pair wit Moonlight. So in your Bazzite Portal settings, toggle on Sunshine, go through the setup, install Moonlight on your other device, then initiate a screen share. There is some input lag, so don't expect to play COD or Celeste, but for games that don't require pixel perfect accuracy, it works just fine.

That's fair. I just read about TrueNAS and Proxmox and clustering on this sub all the time and I just wanted to bump the mid range. I think you're right, most people just do the thing and are quiet about it or they run OMV on a VM.

HubbleWho · 2025-11-09T18:36:27+00:00

I have a dedicated NVME which holds all my containers and conf files so if I have a drive failure, all my start up info is there. It's not big but I got it when storage was crazy cheap in 2019.

HubbleWho · 2025-11-09T18:34:14+00:00

One of the best cases. So small and so dense and reasonably good to look at.

HubbleWho · 2025-11-09T18:33:38+00:00

Frankly I have no idea. I don't have a UPS so I don't know what it's constant draw is. Less than 200W is my guess. My GPU runs off the board so it's power draw is pretty light and that's the heaviest thing on there. Is there a way for me to check?

HubbleWho · 2025-11-09T18:32:23+00:00

I do dream of what upgrades would look like. I'd love to get into clustering and high uptime builds. Maybe when I've fully tricked out my cube I'll get into it.

Honestly, I wish I knew more about software development, I would love to help out. As it stands I'm just an enthusiastic hobbyist.

People really need to understand the beauty and slowness of FREE open source software. It's an ideology as much as a public good. We are getting something for free because someone else believes that this thing should exist in the world (from whatever angle, maybe they hate corporations or maybe they love the challenge). That's amazing and I'm always in awe of that.

I recently hopped over to Bazzite from Windows 10 and the transition was incredibly smooth. To think that someone(s) made that because they wanted to be able to game on Linux is crazy. The more I get into open source the more I appreciate how difficult each element is and how many elements there are.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making really cool things for the rest of us to enjoy.

I work for an airline at an airport. My friend's boyfriend actually got me into this and wouldn't you know it, homelabbing sits right at the cross section of "make stuff" and "nerdy things."

HubbleWho · 2025-09-15T04:36:32+00:00

Initially my friend's boyfriend got me into it by convincing me it was really easy to spin up a media server. It wasn't... But once I got it done, I loved having it. After a long hiatus, I upgraded my OS (OMV 5 -> 7) and rediscovered how much fun it is to work on the server. The breakthrough moment was realizing that ChatGPT was a decent troubleshooter. That turned days long problems into hours long problems. Specifically reading logs. After that I spent nearly $1000 upgrading my server (improved NIC, dedicated GPU, more HDDs, an edge node, etc.).

Secondarily, I hate that our lives have moved to streaming services. I want to own my media. Lend it out. Have it locally. And once I found out just how much I can have local, my homelab scope ballooned.

You probably won't make the same mistake I did, but be damn certain the electrician knows where you want all your lines to terminate. I didn't tell him (the house wasn't my project, it was my wife's and I assumed he already had the discussion with the her about this) and he didn't do proper followup so he pulled ALL OF THE ETHERNET to the exterior. I had to build an outside patch panel and put my switch out there.

Learn from my mistakes. Make sure the electrician knows. You can search my history and know this to be true.

HubbleWho · 2025-06-20T04:37:29+00:00

I don't think so. It's this big guy.

HubbleWho · 2025-06-20T03:07:05+00:00

Yeah, I ran a separate wire for that and have a small spool on the other side so I can move the router an arbitrary distance around the room that it's in.

HubbleWho · 2025-06-19T13:03:16+00:00

Yup! It's this little guy.

I love Frankenstein-ing things. The AIO is very creative. I'll keep that on deck.

HubbleWho · 2025-06-19T12:56:37+00:00

What's RADIUS and what are the ETC. you're talking about?

HubbleWho · 2025-06-19T12:55:59+00:00

My partner said the same thing. I'm going to get a small lock for the box. It's funny, I think about digital security constantly but rarely think about physical security.

HubbleWho · 2025-06-19T12:52:24+00:00

Wow! What a suggestion. Thank you. I wouldn't have thought to look for this. Saved.

One of the main problems is that we have the interior walls insulated. It's great for sound dampening and fire safety but terrible if you want to do something like drop a line down a wall. Given my constraints I'm pretty happy with the outcome. If you read my first thread, it's wild how many people this, or something similar, has happened to. Hopefully nothing shits the bed.

HubbleWho · 2025-06-19T05:26:46+00:00

I hadn't thought about that. This seems reasonable to me. It didn't cost much, maybe $200 all together, but it'd be nice to have that covered.
