If you want an alternative to Pi-hole. I highly recommend AdGuard home. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardHome. Every thing is way more intuitive and list management is a breeze.

#182Pihole. DNS-level ad-blocking for my network. Jellyfin. Movies/TV/Music server with a variety of clients, including a built-in web client, but also AndroidTV/Shield, Roku, Kodi, and more. It's like having a personal Netflix. Minecraft. The old Java kind. May be leaving for something open-source soon because MS has fucked up the account transitions so badly, and also make buying new copies bizarrely painful, error-pro…
110% agree on microsoft's straight fucking of the minecraft experience. Being the designated household minecraft sysadmin is an intensely miserable experience. Just for example, we decided to pay for their bedrock edition realms hosting thing. Getting that account nonsense sorted was a saga on all its own, but at least they reliably ding our checking account. Oh but wait, every now and then it just loses license auth or something and throws prompts at my kids about "buy this now!" when we've already bought the fucking thing, leading to confused whining that I can do nothing about. Whoever wrote this fucking system should be slapped.

Jellyfin, I must try that for the family, great! We use Minetest instead of Minecraft here. It runs ok on Raspberry Pi 400 and Android as well.
I should probably just stand up a Minetest server alongside Minecraft and try it out. I've been on Minecraft since the really early days, so I hate to move away from it, but it's becoming such a damn chore, entirely due to how they've handled the account transition and how purchasing works.

The lack of a WebOS app for Jellyfin is sad, until we get one I have to stick to plex.
I had the same issue. Just bought a HDMI thumb drive Roku (powered by USB port) and install the Jellyfin app. Another benefit is Roku supports more apps like the NBA app.
Previously tried rooting my LG TV which worked but too many random issues like full restart of your TV puts the root in a bad state.

Screwed up in what way? I haven't noticed any difference since the account migration.
Buying the game now requires navigating a couple sites, back and forth, in the correct order, and getting past MS attempts to block seemingly any new account for non-existent "suspicious activity". If you're buying for a kid and make the mistake of not lying about their age, you'll also experience the hell of MS' family account management interface, including having to track down an obscure and not-obviously-related…
I found it difficult to buy a license for my son and I, and yes the child account blocking multiplayer took me far too long to research and hunt down.
We haven't had any issues since then.

Re: What are your most used self-hosted applications?
#189Wow, the headline makes me feel kind of stupid and out of touch. When I think of the applications I run regularly, they're not "hosted" anywhere. They are native desktop applications that I run on my home computer. I do have a single server running 24/7 on my network, but I don't consider a home media NAS to be an "application" that is "self-hosted". It's just a linux box with a bunch of disks running NFS. Is NFS an…
A student asked Master Foo: "What applications do you self-host"?
Master Foo said: "All of them and none"
Upon hearing this, the student was enlightened.

I'd just assumed they've decided to make the experience of using and/or buying the Java edition suck on purpose to drive people toward their subscription-based hosting solutions with the Bedrock version, but if that also sucks more than it should, maybe whoever's in charge of it just doesn't know WTF they're doing in general. Seems weird that they'd so badly screw up something that was a cash cow and practically on auto-pilot when they got it.
