    I’m not sure if there is a good one out there. The current market for skilled labor just seems to be really dry. That, combined with the massive influx of botspam and fraudulent candidates, and the hyper-arbitrary, hyper-selective AI gatekeeping resume scanners HR departments insist on using… makes it really difficult and random to even get a callback for jobs you’d be perfect for.

    I know that’s not of any direct practical use, but I hope it helps to better understand that if you’re not having much success getting interviews, it’s likely not your fault. We really are at a systemic tipping point for job-seeking and what’s been working a long time (companies post jobs, candidates apply for them) is no longer viable.

    That said, here are a few job sites I’ve been using and/or that I’ve had success with in the past. Some may or may not still be around:

    The short answer is because it’s a fun project, and I wanted to see if I had it in me to make exactly the media server I want.

    The longer answer is that I wanted something dramatically and fundamentally different from what either Jellyfin or Plex have to offer.

    • Can run without breaking a sweat on junk/old/cheap hardware like a Raspberry Pi or old laptop.
    • Can be safely Internet-facing – no anonymous access, and no web-based admin features or API.
    • Hyper-lean and minimal. All-in, I wanted something on the order of 1MB for client app, server, all dependencies, everything.

    I don’t see either of those goals happening with a contribution or fork, because achieving them would require some dramatic feature deprecation.

    True.

    When I migrated off of Jellyfin, I re-encoded everything up to that point directly from the Blu-ray rips wherever possible. Because I’d already started culling those for space, I did end up just doing another pass on the first round of encoding for a portion of the library. There’s some noticable degradation on those, and I’ll want to re-rip those at some point.

    Fortunately, I’ve got my process pretty dialed in for ripping and I actually enjoy it, so if I ever have a quality issue, it’s not a huge ordeal to re-rip and encode.
