  • It’s a perennial thing with Jellyfin that it doesn’t have the app / remote access support Plex provides. By itself it’s a fully functional network media server, but by design it doesn’t have the ability to reverse tunnel and it doesn’t have the corporate infrastructure that gets it’s app onto devices.

    Yes you can set up wireguard / VPN access. Yes there are workarounds that can get Jellyfin streaming to most devices.

    None of that matters when trying to talk someone on the phone through connecting to your server through the internet.

    Plex is an account, it looks like a streaming service, it requires zero knowledge. I’m fairly certain some of my relatives have no idea it’s streaming from a server in my basement. Jellyfin they have to trust you enough to setup separate other apps / configuration and have the patience / attention span / ability to follow directions to do so.








  • Former healthcare IT, holy crap do all digital health records systems seem to suck. Some of them suck in different ways, but none of the big ones anyway are great.

    I get that there’s a lot of semi-special use cases and regulatory requirements and so on, but at the end of the day it’s text and images and a record of the changes to them. And it’s not like this is a surprise problem. People have been trying to digitize stuff since at least the 90s. And yet every single system seems like it’s only been in development for a few months and usually has trouble working with itself, much less any other record system.





  • At least in my state, it explicitly means proof of citizenship. Permanent residents have a slightly different ID. The documents required to get one are what you would use to prove citizenship. Passport, birth certificate, etc. and it’s all verified by relevant agencies. That’s kind of the whole point.

    Frankly even if they’re “just” lawfully present and that’s not differentiated on the ID, that should be enough reason for DHS to not detain them if any remotely reasonable policy were being followed instead of rounding up people based on skin color.
