There's not a way to change it on an individual level.

As far as I'm aware / heard, when an instance has it disabled, it doesn't even store information (or process) downvotes, so even if you could override it (such as by using a third party client) there'd be nothing to view.

I could be wrong though, might be worth trying some of the mobile apps to see if it displays it, just to confirm. For desktop, there's also Photon.

Unfortunately it's not really all that great on newer Nvidia GPUs either.

All. The. Damn. Time.

Sometimes I wonder if the things I'm perceiving as not so great are actually fine, but my brain is making a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be. But either way, the effect that it has on me is unfortunately the same.

I'm assuming both listed IPs are the same IP address? Those are internal IP addresses so you don't need to censor them.

Also, is this the Jellyfin app? If so, what happens if you bring up either addresses through a web browser?

I believe the 20 instance limit is intentional (its a max/permanent limit, rather than daily), as its meant to be a "Pay it forward" type of deal (and I imagine maybe to prevent one instance from going crazy with it). Don't quote me on that though, as I'm not the dev of the project - db0 could probably clarify this though!

That being said, while you can't guarantee more instances after you've hit 20, the instances that you've guaranteed can go out and guarantee more instances. So you can always go ask some of the instances that you've guaranteed to evaluate the instances that you want to guarantee when they have time available, and see if they agree and will pass it along.

Agreed! One of my favorite quotes has always been the old "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". We don't get to choose who are family is, but we do get to choose who are friends and those close to us are.

Just like with everyone else in my life, I hold my family to the "Respect is earned, not given" stance - not sure how I feel about the wording of that quote because it sounds like I'm saying that I'm crappy to people by default which isn't the case. Rather, I'm not going to fight to have a relationship with some of my family members if they aren't going to try to put in the effort themselves to meet me halfway.

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure that the moderator/owner of this community is still around - their account history shows zero posts / comments on it, and they are the only one who'd be able to change those settings.

I do not think that self-hosting necessarily means that you have to host it at home. As others have pointed out, its more about hosting it on hardware you control.

I do think there is certainly a trust factor involved if you host stuff on hardware that you don't own, but at the end of the day only you can deem whom you can trust. For example, I rent a couple of dedicated servers from a provider, but I also have a pretty good personal connection with the owner of that provider - so I have no concerns about the safety of my data. In general, I tend to just be pretty conscientious about what data is going to any server, and anything that I wouldn't want falling into the wrong hands doesn't leave my house unless I can guarantee its safety (with the likes of encryption and such).

I do also keep in mind that with the various providers out there, reputation is paramount to them (or at least, the good ones) so it is generally in their best interest to say, let someone walk into their datacenter and just start ripping the drives from your systems.

I was getting this earlier, though I don't appear to be getting it now. Perhaps the issue has been resolved?

Nvidia support, unfortunately. Which, while not directly Wayland's fault - at the end of the day, it still means that Wayland is unsuitable for me at the moment.

Potentially, I'm unfortunately not super familiar with the other homeserver implementations - but I do know that some features aren't implemented yet.

If you're using Element and don't see that option, then its likely an issue / missing feature implementation with Dendrite (and if you're not using Element, try logging in via Element and see if the option appears there).
