Jason Weatherly<p>Wooo, Jellyfin cache and metadata directories moved over to the slow storage via NFS.

Adam<p>Updated my hypervisor to Proxmox 9. The update went smoothly but several minutes after rebooting it wasn’t responding to pings. Connected a monitor and keyboard and it was sitting in the BIOS?!? Rebooted and again to the BIOS… After poking around found two different boot targets “Debian” and “Proxmox”, it was set to “Debian”. Switched it to “Proxmox” and rebooted, this time it booted into Proxmox and VMs started up without issue! not sure why it changed, but we’re good now!</p><p><a href="https://floss.social/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeLab</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Proxmox</span></a></p>

Marcus Adams<p>I recently discovered a project called <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Jellywatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jellywatch</span></a>. It's an Android app that lets you manage your <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jellyfin</span></a> server(s). It's not open source so I'm hesitant to use it and give it access to my server, but its user interface looks a bit more polished than the default Jellyfin app and they've got extra paid features and support.</p><p>I don't know a ton about it, but it's pretty cool to see decent quality alternatives.
