    Regardless, widespread burnout

    If I were a dev, that would be the number one reason I would not publish any app I created. The constant demands from users, the constant integrations, et al, nah…pass. I am grateful for who do, but that’s just not my bag.

      I think I’m going to put a declarations.md that says something like “I made this for me, but I’m sharing it with the world. If you find it useful, use it and let me know! If you find issues, submit request and I’ll look but no promises. And if you want feature X … fork it and build it. The code’s yours, with my blessings. PS: I don’t accept PRs, sorry”.

      I code for fun; I’m not looking for a third unpaid job. That’s what parenting is for.

        That would be a way to do it. Here it is, works on my machine, it you feel you can use it, knock yourselves out. 30 minute, 30 mile guarantee.

        That’s what parenting is for.

        Well, that’s a full time job right there. I wish you the very best of luck in those endeavors. You’ll need it.

      One could also not feel obligated to address all requests and just let anyone fork the project.

      Isn’t it a bit about the ego to keep running the project while it’s too much to handle?

    Jellyfin is the o ly OSS project I’ve walked away from a change. It was a simple exception thrown that could be ignored in very specific circumstances that I remember. I wrote up the change, left several lines of comments, looked up code style, files the bug and PR in the proper way and… Rejected.

    My 2 or 3 line PR was nitpicked to hell, I think the fourth round of reviews I just walked away. It wasn’t worth it for me at that point.

    So I’m not entirely surprised that they’re feeling burnout. It seemed exhausting getting anything done.

    Any JellyGlance users here? Is it worth it? This seems like it should be a jellyfin add-on, not a separate service. Still trying to see the real upside, so feel free to enlighten me.

    The web is a frightening place these days.

    A few seconds after I stood up a public web server, there were bots scanning for .git and .env.

    I got my 20th crowdsec alert (for a banned IP) for today while reading that… I don’t know what’s happening but this week is not a good one
