Bridge mode on the ISP router is what you want. Then it just passes through the internet connection to the internal router on the edge of your network. It's what I do with Comcast.

Same for me.
-It works well
-my dad (who has dementia) can use it
-It runs even when the net goes down (means my dad is happy)
-Can Transcode for our TV's with premiere (would rather not have to pay for that)
Have been thinking about Jellyfin...as I like the FOSS angle...and seems like it is gaining a lot of traction in the selfhost community. I host Emby Server on my Unraid server and our nVidia Shields play content great using the Emby app. Going to be investigating Jellyfin when I start to move the rest of my serivces off of Unraid.
@Eddie I know the kbin dev has been adjusting the federated backend to work better with mastodon. So I think it will all get better, it'll just take time.
@mike Same boat. I established an account over on Fosstodon during one of the Twitter exoduses. I like the UI more for kbin.social over Lemmy, so I think I'm here to stay. I tried out the federation between the two accounts, and figured out that mastodon really does twitter-like stuff really well. Kbin/Lemmy do reddit-like stuff really well. So I'm planning on just treating them like I treated Twitter and Reddit....as two separate services for different purposes with different UI's.
My only issue is that I chose a different name when I signed up on kbin.social/Lemmy to match other accounts I have (one of which I recently changed to be in line with the rest), and it's not what I have on Fosstodon, but I already moved once to a different instance (used to be on mastodon.social), I don't really want to change usernames on Fosstodon. Frustrating a bit for me, but I'll deal.
For a while now I've had Grafana hooked up to InfluxDB and Telegraf. Using Telegraf I setup pings to ips along my route to the larger internet, major dns providers, and several large internet sites. I measure response time and packet loss. It has allowed me to cut through the Comcast BS when diagnosing problems with them. I can tell them for sure that the problem is inside their network and is the X hop from my router.
I recently started setting up Grafana over on a different server and I'm using Prometheus instead to monitor more than just the other server I was monitoring. I haven't yet set it up with that but it looks like something similar is possible with Prometheus based on the small amount of research I've done on it.
