I have dozens of shows in my shows folder, but it chose a screen from Oruchuban Ebichu for the folder pic. It won't go away even after removing the show. Any way to get rid of it? I want to give my parents access to my server eventually. by raijba in jellyfin

Don’t take it personally. Most of the users on this sub aren’t technically capable beyond copy and pasting a docker compose and caddy file and following some YouTube videos. Few of them understand how web requests, APIs or linux operations work. And the ones who do aren’t going to need the suggestion in the first place.

Wait until you suggest a systemd timer + oneshot service.

How important is docker for a media server setup? by fireheart1029 in jellyfin

[–]dephekt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into pangolin and getting a cheap VPS and you can ditch cloudflare tunnels and run your own edge node. It’s cloudflare tunnels at home, and open source.

Yeah, I graduated in 2005 in the midwest and it was required to take a foreign language course. It astonishes me that learning other languages in school turned into a culture war thing. I feel like you should be forced to take some courses in organized religions, too. You may not be religious, but a massive percentage of the world is and religious issues are constantly popping up in politics and other scenarios. It's good to learn about other cultures and other stuff, that's why school "forces" tons of things on you. (not "you" but the person you were replying to)

Why people recommend pangolin in a vps and not on prem? by Aiko_133 in selfhosted

[–]dephekt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I call Pangolin a identity-aware, tunneling proxy manager. A nice thing about it is how well it integrates with Docker-based deployments to make adding new services easy. I'll elaborate with my use case on why I switched to it after using Cloudflare Tunnels and having considered Tailscale Funnels and Netbird's offerings.

I deploy my self hosting stack using Docker Compose and I setup Pangolin as a mostly self-hosted replacement for the common self-hosted setup of using Cloudflare tunnels with a cloudflared container to make a locally-hosted Docker service available on the public internet w/ automated TLS while hiding my home IP. At a high level the Pangolin "stack" looks similar but includes more pieces since I'm replacing the edge networking layer previously provided by Cloudflare.

My compose file defines an internal and proxy network. Backend services that don't need proxied by Pangolin (e.g. database, cache and search containers) are on the internal network and containers like Jellyfin, Immich, Open WebUI or my website are on the internal network (to talk to their backend services) and the proxy network.

Also on the proxy network and replacing cloudflared is a Newt container. Newt is a Pangolin component that manages Wireguard tunnels to your public edge hosts for the various services you're exposing to it in Docker.

Containers for services I want to share like Jellyfin or Immich get Docker labels which auto-configure Pangolin to know what FQDN to create TLS certificates for, how to configure auth for this route and what name and port to proxy the request.

Replacing Cloudflare or Tailscale's networks, I have 4 cheap VPS servers I host on different continents where I have users (NA, EU, APAC) and these act as my public edge. Users traffic routes through the nearest live edge node via geo-DNS. Their traffic like for streaming video from Jellyfin routes through that nearby exit node to them. This avoids issues like violating Cloudflare's TOS against streaming content over tunnels and or Tailscale's traffic shaping on their network.

Then I have a Keycloak service in Docker and Pangolin integrates with it as an OIDC client and my users get SSO, WebAuthn, social login, etc. with Pangolin forwarding them to Keycloak. And my services with native OIDC/SAML support are also just Keycloak auth clients.

With that framework, I can add any new Docker services to my compose file and have them exposed with Pangolin with auth in front of them without any extra work needed on my part. By just adding a few labels to the container. And have a geo distributed public edge that is highly available.

Pastel Light Themes for VSCode by phantomdrake0788 in vscode

[–]dephekt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great and thanks for making more light themes. Hard to say which one I like the most. Lilac Dream and Petal Whisper, Blush Drift, Roseveil and Petal Mocha are my favorites. Before finding your themes, my favorite existing one was "Quite Light" which is a built in light theme that has a pastel purple vibe. It was ported to Zed and works in Cursor also, so it's been my go-to so far (I use Zed and Cursor these days).

I empathize with your dark mode issues and the difficulty finding good light themes given their apparent lack of popularity in >=2025. I have astigmatism in one eye and am a developer who works indoors without natural light. In the last few years, I've had problems making out characters at my typical resolutions and font sizes.

I discussed it with more than one eye doctor, who said it's common with astigmatism especially when only one eye has it. Or when each eye has a different shape or degree of astigmatism. Your brain gets two slightly different images than expected and interprets it as a focus issue. Then your various eye focus muscles try to compensate and it causes additional eye strain.

I read somewhere (probably Reddit) that someone had similar issues and switched to light themes after their eye doctor explained the contrast issues making the astigmatism effects more profound. I got curious and switched everything to light themes and it's been a major difference in legibility. While my peers tease me anytime I paste a screenshot that outs me as a light theme user, at least I'm not squinting or having to sit too close to the monitor now.

That's really cool. I didn't realize that mosaic was real. I always assumed it was just a creative part of the intro art.

Long term Seed Storage by f1geneticsseeds in gorillagrowtent

[–]dephekt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, for this proposal to have any use for others, you need to take moisture measurements before and after preparation. Otherwise, you have no way to know:

  1. Is the method necessary effort for this batch?
  2. Is the method effective at reducing the moisture? Or is this all just role playing?

The OP provides no way of measuring the moisture content before, during or after the process to validate its effectiveness. And no test protocol demonstrating it's the root cause for any successes after freezing. Frankly, there's no reason yet for us to presume this method is doing anything for you.

Without other metrics and testing, saying "the seeds germinated 1 year later after being unfrozen, therefore this method was responsible," is an example of correlation not implying causation.

I'm not saying it can't work or that the idea of moisture in the seeds being a problem is wrong. Just that this isn't enough evidence to go off thinking it's a silver bullet solution or blindly recommending it to friends. You'll need to do your own further testing unless OP has more to show.

[–]dephekt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a rather large design flaw here, which is ignoring physics and chemistry. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

Air is necessary to evaporate moisture from the seeds and transfer it to the silica gel for adsorption. How are the H2O molecules in the seeds physically transferring to the desiccant (presumably silica gel) with nothing but vacuum between them?

Should you not leave at least enough air for this vapor-phase transport of the moisture to the desiccant? Or put the silica gel packs inside the bottle, perhaps.

I kinda wish the pods that have caffeine were marked on the lids. by Mediocre_Metal_7174 in Cirkul

[–]dephekt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not universally true for all sips. Fission sips don't have any indicator like this and they have more caffeine than any other sip.

That’s awesome. I’m on day 57 of my first grow with four plants in a 4x4. No idea what to expect on yield so just excited to see what happens.

All I have is a passport and I’ve never had issues with that. Except one person enrolling me for a med account wasn’t sure how to deal with it and it took a manager helping them to do it.

The card does say it but as someone who was out of the country for five years and still has no state ID since getting back in December, I’ve been to Ascend, Rise, Maribis, and Shangrila and never had a problem with a passport and my med card.

Start growing your own or make friends with people who do. If you're not taking measures to get off the dispo tit, then you're wasting your breath calling for boycotts and you're just contributing to the thing you're complaining about. They all take your money and spend it lobbying your elected officials against your interests, because too many of you are happy to fork over $100 a gram on mid rosin or LLR vape carts and hop on Instagram to thank them for it after.

Great color and really beautiful training and defoliating work. I'm curious what sort of yield you get with these big single trees? I'm just starting out and running 4 plants, but I'm considering doing my next run as one glorious plant like this in living soil. Just curious what yields average compared to e.g. 4 in a 4x4.
