General question but how do y'all actually find a mentor? I feel like there's probably a local group nearby me or something that I could look into but are there places/people that are more likely to say "yes, I will mentor you" in y'all's experience?

I mean, fuck Reagan -- he's the reason why we're in this mess in the first place.

Yeah, I would still be using mullvad if they hadn't removed port forwarding -- it's too damn bad but I get why they needed it. Switched to Proton but I imagine they'll run into the same issue down the road and will need to find a more permanent solution.
I did not know that was a show and now I can not un-know it lol. Feel like that is going to be a risky search at 1 in the morning.
I use Miniflux and I've actually had luck just putting the channel url like youtube[.]com/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE and the rss feed populates from there!
Glad it helped! Happy reading!
Oh one suggestion for external access that I have is Tailscale -- it's a dead simple wireguard VPN. You don't need to do any kind of port forwarding or configuration, you literally just install the binary and run it. It even has support for custom domains so if you have a website, you could set your jellyfin server as a tailscale only subdomain. 10/10 recommend
No worries at all! So I use Miniflux as my RSS reader but there TONS of different ones -- some open source, some freemium, some premium and closed source. Even VLC and Thunderbird can be used for keeping track of RSS feeds! For that front, I'd just search and give a couple a try -- find which one suits your needs best. I used FreshRSS before making the switch to Miniflux but there are hosted options like Feedly.
In terms of finding things to read via RSS, you've got a ton of options there too! There's a lot of open RSS feeds out there that just aren't advertised. A few that I have are:
- I think all youtube channels (stackoverflow post) have the option for RSS. You can go about it the way outlined in that post but I've found using https://youtube[.]com/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE is good enough if I want to sub to every video of a channel
- A lot of smaller blogs -- most wordpress sites actually have a default rss feed that gets created unless you actively disable it
- Substack news letters/blogs for folks that I follow have this support built in
- I actually found out yesterday how to subscribe to both my Lemmy inbox and all the subscribed communities that I'm in to get those over RSS (there's a little RSS feed icon next to the drop down filters for the latter)
- I use hnrss for hackernews since they don't have a direct rss feed you can subscribe to. Lobste.rs at least does have the ability to subscribe to multiple "subreddits"/"communities"/what have you and be able to filter things out -- otherwise it gets really noisy
- There's a couple of folks that I follow on Twitter via Nitter that supports RSS (how to guide but since bird site is such a cess pool, might reconsider some of these.
- I live in a fire prone area so I also subscribe to some of NOAA's RSS feeds in case my family needs to evacuate
- You can even pull various subreddits over rss if you're still using reddit for somethings. The one thing that I loved about using these rss feeds is that you could group subreddits together into one rss feed and just have that but I imagine this will change with the API changes
- This doesn't even include all the podcasts since the way they're distributed is built on-top of RSS feeds!
The one big problem with RSS is that there really isn't a good way to find other RSS feeds -- or at least I haven't found a good way, ha! Typically, I'll get linked to a site from hackernews, lobsters, here, wherever. If I like their stuff, I'll just paste their URL into Miniflux to see if they have an RSS feed and subscribe from there. I really wish that there was a recommendation list of good rss feeds but honestly, sometimes the best way is word of mouth? Hope this helps!
Edit: Put brackets around the youtube link so that it doesn't turn into an actual link
Awesome! I really appreciate the recommendations -- going to have to give these a test!
Honestly, it took a little while because I was learning a lot of it on the fly. If I had to put a hard number on it, maybe like a week of actual work with tuning and permissions but a lot more time in terms f reading how things should all plug in together. Right now, if I had to set it up, maybe an hour of actual work? But that's because I know how to write a docker compose file, how to tunnel the traffic through a vpn in a docker container, how volume mounts work, etc. etc.
It's really intimidating to start with but there's a fair number of really good guides on the internet for basic setups. I kind of started it one thing at a time -- set up a docker container for jellyfin to point to my existing media, then setup Sonarr to manage only the TV shows, then this one, then that one, yadda yadda. Incrementally doing it is really the way to go so you can test what works, what breaks, and what is actually something that you need.

I think my smallest nuc, when I was running proxmox, had 24 gigs with four cores and I was able to get ~4 ubuntu servers running at the same time. Or like 1 Windows 2012 R2 and a couple ubuntu servers. YMMV definitely and worthwhile tuning/building an image that is stripped down
