I now have:

• A VPS running Wireguard VPN which my devices are connected to
• An Apple Silicon (Macbook M1) computer running NixOS
• The NixOS Macbook running a Jellyfin server for my media
• The Jellyfin server can successfully be accessed by any computer connected to the VPN

Example of why I love open-source. I was having an issue today where my Jellyfin server would keep disconnecting from my other devices, seemingly sporadically, after awhile. Often when checking the logs I would see an error related to websockets, but didn’t understand why it was occurring. After browsing the Jellyfin Github Issues for a bit I discovered someone who very likely is running into the same issue as me. It likely has something to do with running Jellyfin on Apple Silicon, which I am, despite the OS being NixOS. This person opened the issue last month, and the maintainers responded saying they had resolved it in the upcoming release. That release happened two days ago, and the maintainers responsible for pushing that update to the Nix package manager are now behind, so I literally can’t update it yet. But because the project was open-source, I could find that I had the same problem as someone else, and rest assured that I simply have to update my software when the release becomes available. And since the Nix package for Jellyfin is only one patch version behind, I expect that to be very soon.

Idea. ppq.ai allows you to access many different AI models using micropayments. It’s amazing. The only thing I’d like now is a command line tool that I can use their API with.
