An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I set up a Jellyfin server and used a Cloudflare tunnel to let me access it from anywhere. (lemmy.zip)

I just finished setting up my own Jellyfin server. Lately I've been getting into using open source software and this weekend I thought it would be nice to self host on an old thinkpad I had from my college days. There were a few roadblocks I encountered, but ultimately I got it working. Now with the Finamp/Jellyfin app I can have a Spotify/Netflix-like experience completely free (well minus the domain name cost). I highly recommend it if you have been thinking about doing it for a while like I was. I'm so glad we have open source software like Lemmy and Jellyfin available to us.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who suggested not using Cloudflare tunnels. I'm sure they would have got me eventually. I am now successfully running Jellyfin with Pangolin and couldn't be happier.

I don't think it is, there are differences in their terms for these tunnels and other services. I don't recall the specifics, but I did look it up before I set up the same thing.

I think there was something with the tunnel not actually running on the CDN.

Give it time. I was very careful to setup my tunnel for media streaming like those guides, disabling any sort of caching, etc. and they killed it 2 months ago.

Ended up just getting a cheap simple VPS and running Pangolin myself instead.

Good to know. If I'm using it, it's through a VPN to my local network, but I do have it set up at family members' houses through the external link too.
