Decided to buy another drive instead of doing any more harm than I needed to, no worries

Decided to buy another drive instead of doing any more harm than I needed to, no worries
unfortunately I was, lol
I’ve already bought another drive to avoid this funky shuffling, so I should be fine now
What’s the advantage in btrfs over ext4? I’ve kept hearing about it since I started with Linux but the only advantage I can see with it is the snapshot rollback feature, which while useful looking, I don’t think would be something I would use
Yep, I’ve just ordered another 8tb to copy to and avoid the headache that could be a drive failure. And it’ll certainly be faster, gparted is still giving a 13 hour ETA for the first resize! Thanks for the help!
The docs say jellyfin-ffmpeg is only needed on Debian distros, like Debian itself or Ubuntu, other distros like Fedora should be able to use their respective ffmpeg packages. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux#ffmpeg-installation
Is there a reason you can’t have root on your VPS? Maybe you could ask to have Jellyfin and ffmpeg installed by an admin?
If your willing to try it, you could unpack the .deb file with dpkg -x <jellyfin-ffmpeg-for-your-distro.deb> <unpack dir>
and stick the resulting directory (directories?) in Jellyfin’s PATH, but I’ve never tried this myself and I don’t know how well this could work.
TLDR; No
It hasn’t been necessary in a long time, unless you’re a developer who frequently needs to type in filenames in everywhere (since the command line needs extra protection against spaces and other symbols)
The OS (Windows, Mac, Android, etc) handles thar all for you so you don’t have to worry about it (unless you happen to use a badly-written program that doesn’t understand spaces, but this is super rare to begin with, and more protected against as time goes on)
I wouldn’t call it a “fiasco”, but they’re disabling port-forwarding for everyone on July 1st. They say it’s because people are hosting “unfavorable” content and it’s getting their IPs banned. Their article
Big fan of running
