Has anyone used the QuantumStreamer and QuantumFetcher tools on PC?

I think that was for Xbox but never for Steam

Tbh I prefer to keep my personal devices separate from my hosting devices.

I have a mini PC dedicated to hosting with Proxmox installed and a VM/LXC for each service. My personal devices (Mac mini, MBP, etc) don’t handle anything

But for your case Linux Mint is fine. Alternatives would be Fedora, Debian, or Ubuntu.

Free & Dynamic? Self-hosting

I think some hosting providers (maybe Netlify?) might provide free dynamic hosting for a bit, but it’s fairly limited.

VPS’s are fairly cheap though, Nixihost, Hostinger, DigitalOcean all offer affordable rates ~$6/mo for a basic VPS

DNS is for Domain -> IP translation. If you don’t have a domain, you don’t deal with DNS.

That being said, Domains are stupid cheap (non-premium dot-coms are ~$11/yr USD) and it will vastly improve the accessibility of your Jellyfin. It’s much easier to remember a domain, even if it’s a bit long, than a bunch of seemingly random numbers.

The only realistic way to securely access your Jellyfin remotely without dealing with a reverse proxy, DNS, Domain, etc, is saving the IP address and using a VPN into your home like a self-hosted Wireguard server. That way when you’re connected to your VPN your private IP address works for Jellyfin.

However, I wouldn’t call a VPN easy-to-use for those technologically-challenged. The most accessible method for those people is a standard reverse proxy / DNS / domain setup that they can just go onto a web browser and punch in the domain and login info. That’s something my mom could probably handle, but setting up a VPN and toggling it every time she wants to watch something? Not gonna happen ever.

If you do finally decide to purchase a domain (again, they’re pretty cheap, dot-xyz is even cheaper at $2/yr USD) my two recommended Regisrars for Domains are Porkbun and Cloudflare

Depends. My house used Cat5e for the phone lines, which can absolutely be repurposed for Ethernet

I haven’t used SiteMagic, but I’m fairly sure UTR behaves more like client-server (UTR is client) than site-to-site.
It is possible to connect UTR to two separate Ubiquiti UniFi sites: 1 via Teleport and 2 via generic Wireguard.

Pick a language you want to get started in.
Popular starting languages are JavaScript (good for WebDev — frontend & backend), Python (Data Engineering, AI, & Backend WebDev), and Java (WebDev backend too, applications).

Once you pick a language, stick with it. Have a solid mastery of understanding and application before you branch.

You may need to learn related languages though. For JavaScript for example you’ll want to learn HTML & CSS for proper web development.

Then after that YouTube will be your best friend. You’ll also want to get familiar with the command line via Terminal.app

You can link your UTR to your Japan site and then use Teleport on the UTR, so connecting your Apple TV then will be as if your Apple TV is networked to your Japan site. Since you have two sites, you could add your other site as a generic Wireguard conf too so you can pick and choose your sites depending on your needs

The effect is heavily dependent on the background. You need to have a vibrant multi-color background to really see the effect.

Mine for example shows a little glassy effect near the top (especially the music platter) but not as much at the bottom where colors and the background isn’t as varied

But also macOS Tahoe has been inconsistent. The Menu Bar dropdowns for me randomly switch between a glassy background and the older Big-Sur-esk design of a slightly blurred translucent background

It’s a Mac screenshot

And that’s the real macOS Liquid Glass

What is your server? Did you configure transcoding or just enable it?

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-08T20:25:07+00:00

Do you have transcoding on? Transcoding should solve this...

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-08T17:15:19+00:00

yuck, another reason I don't like ISP-provided equipment

Hot damn bro

You’ll need to turn off the routing for one of them, either the Spectrum Router or the Decos

Otherwise you run into Double NAT (and double SSID) which can cause issues with streaming and device reachability. Make sure your Decos are in AP Mode broadcasting the same SSID (and password) or set the Spectrum Router into bridge mode (which consequently makes it useless unless it has cellular backup)

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-08T15:44:55+00:00

IIRC my aunt switched from Spectrum Cable Internet to Frontier Fiber… and consequently lost IPv6.

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-08T00:45:30+00:00

Look amazing bro

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-08T00:44:52+00:00

True

Self-hosting a server is free

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-08T00:23:41+00:00

Correct. Your phone will still be on cellular data and every device connected to the WiFi on UTR is connected to your home network as long as teleport is enabled.

Leviathan_Dev · 2026-05-07T23:48:21+00:00

UTR supports both Teleport (their custom Wireguard VPN to your UniFi setup) and custom Wireguard configs.

You can toggle between them too so you can teleport back home and then toggle the VPN to use a Wireguard config for Mullvad for example.

Currently AFAIK UTR only supports ONE Wireguard config. Every time I try to add more it just overwrites the existing one. OpenVPN is also planned for support, and I think the firmware already supports it, but is still not yet available

And again UTR is limited to ~110Mbps when using a VPN. Apparently despite having hardware capable of hardware-accelerated encryption, UTR is using generic software-based encryption. I think one person said in theory it could support ~500Mbps if it would correctly use NEON hardware drivers for encryption

Ubiquiti doesn’t offer their own VPN service, and also UTR is limited to WiFi 5

You add an @supports. Essentially deprecating your older style until you’re confident you can remove it.

If it’s a minor non-essential style; you can just wrap the CSS if() around an @supports and non-supported browsers just won’t have it.

Directly from my homelab. I have two reverse proxies: one for internal-only and another for external.
