authentik is an identity server. theres a couple free ones available, this one just worked for me. it provides oauth and ldap fallback for the jellyfin server. along with login for most of the other servers i host like nextcloud/calibre-web/lychee etc. it has a nice easy log in process along with a 'homepage' kinda thing for everything my users can access with their account. makes it easier to support the non technical friends and family.

it's mostly debian 12 or ubuntu 22 lts vms, i'm slow dumping ubuntu. so it's all cron jobs running apt update and bash scripts for specific services like the minecraft server. i'm just old and have spent so much time modifying xml in nano that sticking with virsh has worked for me. i've only got two containers running in docker, frigate and authentik.
swiftfin has reach what i'd call stable on apple tv. its a little janky still with homepods used as speakers. i had to switch the nativeplayer to avoid an audio delay bug. the native player doesn't support auto play next episode. so far thats the only issue ive had. infuse doesnt have that bug but the issue hasnt annoyed me enough to need infuse. all my other uses are on android tv or webos and have had no complaints. for music, manet has good carplay functionality so its made a nice replacement for plexamp.
yeah it took me about 6 months with jellyfin to feel like i was ready to finally kill plex. the thing that finally did it was getting an email from plex asking if i'd like to check out whats streaming on hbomax.
at least half will just fly off. i do 3000 when the milkweed is about a foot tall. and the aphid population has become managble the past couple years. since i moved in 4 of the closest 6 houses have changed hands and all those new neighbors are gardeners. so if the bugs fly off and eat the aphids next door i'm ok with it.
these ones arn't native ro my area but they're not invasive. i've released them the past three years and they're chill. you can end up with a bag of the orangish fake ladybug if you go for the cheapest option on amazon though.
urban deadzone with chemically sterilized turf lawns. five years ago ants, aphids and box-elder were the only insect in the yard. i've set up a couple rain water ponds and planted large sections of native flowers over the past couple years. insect diversity has drastically improved, i spotted half a dozen bumblebee queens zig zagging the yard this spring. set up long piles of last seasons plant cuttings for overwintering.
lady bugs are fantastic little murder machines.
i'd stopped believing i was allowed comfort. the past few years i've been fixing that. i own 8 copies of the same pants, shirt, hoodie, etc so everything is a texture and fit im ok with. if i want to sit silently in a room for 4 hours, im doint it and not responding to any questions about it. my social life is down to the few people who are happy with intermittent text based communication. i'll hang out socially and do the talking out loud thing maybe once every three months. anyone other than my kid who wants more from me better be paying a salary.
that's about where i was at for a long while. manet finally replaced my apple carplay functionality from plexamp and plex lost it's last advantage for me. i definitely got my moneys worth from that lifetime plexpass though.
