Helped deliver a cal 27 from olympia to tacoma. The weather was okay with some rain showers, and we had to change the racor filter towards the end of the trip.

35 miles and did it in 8 hrs, taking tide and current into account.

Spent about two months training and trying to be a captain on this three masted schooner in Chicago. Due to financials they had to let me go, business was down almost 75% from last spring. Enjoyed my time getting to know the crew and the boat, and with my daughter sydney.

Jellyfin media server

Posted on 03/15/2025 by 56yachtcapt67

Purchased another recycled computer with a pentium G4560 and 16GB RAM. I had a 160 GB SSD and a 12TB full size drive that I could use in it.

The SSD only has the ubuntu, jellyfin, samba, clam antivirus, and webmin installed on it.

The 12TB drive will be used for movies and shows.  The pictures, music, and personal videos are on the DATA server which gets backed up and has raid setup with qty 4 3TB drives.

Jellyfin is a really cool media solution that can run on several different operating systems.  The have also developed apps for apple and android, and smart tv sets.

Will also setup jellyfin on my delivery laptop.  Due to the file structure of ubuntu is different than the windows setup.  So will have to develop a python script that will modify the playlist when transferring it from ubuntu to windows.
