Seems this just released 10 hours. Was mentioned in this other thread, but figured it was worth granting it's own topic. Very Cool! I'm not the dev, but this is awesome. Was originally posted to Reddit here.

Oh wow, repo is https://github.com/LLukas22/Jellyswarrm

Jellyswarrm is a reverse proxy that lets you combine multiple Jellyfin servers into one place. If you’ve got libraries spread across different locations or just want everything together, Jellyswarrm makes it easy to access all your media from a single interface.

Working

  • Unified Library Access – Browse media from multiple Jellyfin servers in one place.
  • Direct Playback – Play content straight from the original server without extra overhead.
  • User Mapping – Link accounts across servers for a consistent user experience.
  • API Compatibility – Appears as a normal Jellyfin server, so existing apps and tools still work.

⚠️ In Progress

  • Websocket Support – Needed for real-time features like SyncPlay (not fully reliable yet).
  • Audio Streaming – May not function correctly (still untested in many cases).
  • Automatic Bitrate Adjustment – Stream quality based on network conditions isn’t supported yet.

🚫 Not Planned

  • Admin Functions – Server administration (user management, settings, etc.) won’t be supported through Jellyswarrm.----

It's a little funny that Chinese media even does the "But at what cost" thing.

DICE is yet to give clarity on map sizes, comment section is the usual dumpster fire.

It seems America and the rest of the world may look very different in the 2030s.

The rest of the world living in the future with EVs and cheap renewable energy. America in some strange steampunk version of the future, where energy is expensive, everyone still drives huge gasoline cars, and power stations still belch smoke from coal.

Cheap Chinese EVs that cost <$20k and run on cheap renewable electricity, frequently from home solar, will likely be rapidly becoming the global norm in the 2030s. I wonder if the fossil fuel industry has home solar in its sights, too? They have all the American politicians in their pockets that they need to ban it in the US.

Trump says U.S. will not approve solar or wind power projects

Trump administration halts work on an almost-finished wind farm

Years ago I worked mostly retail, with a scattering of retail food service. I worked at a QuickChek for a few months, which is similar to a Wawa or Sheetz. Gas, subs, snacks, basically mid-range. I did a bunch of different jobs there, including making food, which I kind of hated. Everything was just reheated slop or low-grade pseudo-food, which is standard, but some regulars got very picky about their food. Some I get - I mean, you want to be sure you’re putting something at least ok into your body - but some people were just complainers for the sake of it.

One dude came in just about every morning to sit in and eat a poppy seed bagel, buttered, with multiple bacon rounds stacked thick, and extra black pepper. My one coworker who normally made it showed me how she made it for him and he was always happy with her. I followed what she did to the letter each time. But each time, he’d come back and complain. “My bacon isn’t crisp enough,” “There isn’t enough bacon,” “This isn’t toasted enough,” “This is toasted too dark,” and his personal favorite, “There isn’t enough black pepper on this.” Every. Single. Time. No matter how much I put on, it was never enough. I followed what my coworker did, she’d even tell me it looked good, and still, he’d complain. I vented to my coworkers and they said they stopped making his sandwiches because of it, since he did the same to them. Jerk.

So one day he comes up, and preemptively complains about the black pepper. “Make sure you put enough this time!” Ok, fine. I smothered that frigging thing like nobody’s business. The inside of that bagel looked as dark as the poppy outside. “Here you go!”

He came back a few minutes later and quietly said, “That’s about as much black pepper as one could tolerate.”

“Was it not enough still?”

“It was too much,” he grumbled.

He still kept coming in almost every day for that disgusting sandwich, but at least it seemed like he was timing his approach for when I wasn’t there at the deli section.

Until I had fresh heirlooms. Now I like to try and grow any kind and they're generally all great. Didn't plant any this year though, these were from a neighbor's generous bounty :)

This kind of rhetoric (most of it; Hamas is a resistance organization and much of what they've been accused of has been proven false and Israel is refusing to allow any further independent investigations) is exactly what we've all been saying, and it's Marjorie Taylor Greene saying it?

Have I woken up in an alternate universe? Is the Mandela effect happening?

Literally that first part most especially: trying to explain to people by asking themselves to try putting themselves in the shoes of people from Gaza; it's a sentiment I barely see from pro-Palestinian democrats, but now MTG is saying it? Asking people to think about what it's like if they were going through this?

Also I want to mention, cause it bears mentioning, MTG actually spoke out AGAINST refusing Gazan children to go to America to receive aid.

Seriously, have I woken up in an alternate universe?
