I use Jellyfin as a backend for my Kodi boxes (I have 3, and JF keeps them in sync). I used to have a YouTube plugin, but YT broke that this year.
Just a regular everyday normal muthafucka.

Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I’ve run it for years using only an IR remote.
If you’re willing to go that route, check out Zabbix and Icinga2 as well. They’re compatible with Nagios checks but the user interface is better.
I use ssmtp as well for a simple sendmail replacement. It takes over the sendmail command, doesn’t open any ports. You configure it for the domain you want and tell it what server to send everything to and it works.
Really? Such as?
True, but SQLite is not recommended in production settings, and is quite often the source of Nextcloud slowdowns, in my experience. A dedicated DB is the first thing I recommend for a production Nextcloud instance.
Oh and to be clear, in this instance, “production” means “people depend on this”, be that your family group, team/department, fraternal order, church group, etc. as opposed to “I’m just playing with this thing.”
Slackware 1.2, because it came on a CD in the back of a fat paperback manual I got at Barnes and Noble. It was only later that I learned what a distro is.
Currently on Fedora with a Frankenstein desktop of my own concoction.
Skipping forward/back between scenes mostly. It’s either that or the time skip, which works, but is more work and less accurate.
It’s more because they provide an ONVIF interface or an RTSP stream that makes them self-hosting darlings. Them being Chinese white-labels and cheap is mainly a side-bonus.
What are your recommendations if not them?
Wait, you object to their feely-distributable firmware updates? Seriously? Without those, your CPU is vulnerable to exploits and known hacks.
Really? Which ones?
You mean besides Fedora?
As far as I can tell, it has always used the dotNet 6 framework.
Odd, I only have to reboot mine for updates. Other than that it seems fine running on a Linux VM with 2GB RAM, after the initial setup.
And it uses the dotNet runtime 6 so I’m unclear on what roadmap you refer to.
‘dd’ works, but I prefer ‘shred’. It does a DoD multi-pass shred by default, so I usually use ‘shred -vn1z /dev/(drive)’. That gives output, does a one-pass random write followed by one-pass zero of the disk. More than that just wastes time, and this kinda thing takes hours on large spinners. I also use ‘smartmontools’ to run SMART tests against my drives regularly to check their health.
6th gen works, 8th gen and up works better.
As long as you have enough RAM, you won’t get much more speed. 4GB should be enough. A minimal Linux install plus Jellyfin takes less than 16GB on disk, and anything is fast enough.
Fanless Intel runs a little hot for my taste, but it’s your build. I’ve run tiny/mini/micro systems that were virtually silent but still had a CPU fan to help move heat out.
I’m not using nginx, though good to note the web socket. Mine is all local-net. The plugins auto-detect my server at its correct hostname:port at first install.
I am, yes. It came pre-installed. I even have retention days set to unlimited. The startup sync seems to work, but I hate restarting it daily. The live sync is what doesn’t seem to be working for me.
That is so odd. I’m doing exactly that right now. I’ve got Finamp playing music in the background as I write this.
Is there a way yet to in-place upgrade or is it still only “flash a new SD”?
