Tell me about it. I've got movies with the Spanish title, and the LatAm cover art with yet another title. Ended up switching Jellyfin to English just to be able to find my movies

tried jellyfin even before Navidrome: the problem with Jellyfin is that as good as it is tagging and managing movies and tv shows, it's atrocious at music management. Even though I painstakingly tagged and sorted my music using MusicBrainz Picard, there are tons of albums misplaced, or entire artists catalogs set as a single album. Same music collection on Navidrome worked OOTB and was perfectly sorted.

IIRC Uber has patented dynamic pricing based on a ton of data, including your phone battery being low. I wouldn't be surprised if they hiked your fare just because you were on the car shop.

Obviously they say its not in use but who could check

No need, at least on Firefox you can hold down shift (or alt? I never remember) + right click to bypass such restrictions

Ffs i only olayed one match of Starship Troopers... Im getting dismembered by an oversized animstronic alien ant

I consider it a win nontheless, people like me or you, who were actively engaged on reddit and did "what felt right" (deleting comments and leaving reddit) are probably the kind of people that might make for good conversation and good content (be it links to cool stuff, art, or just rants).

We might get some "bad apples" (trolls, botters, and such), but all in all, I see it as a far healthier alternative to grow gradually from a core of users that was either here from the start, or that moved to the Fediverse to take back a bit of the "old web" feel, where people come together to share cool stuff and ideas.

RIP Aaron Swartz, we'll keep the old reddit spirit here on Lemmy.

Who would dare to ask why

I'm doing my part.

And they got some really cool experiences we could never dream of. There are now several full games running in browsers, with 3d acceleration and everything. Play-cs or wipeout off the top of my head, but also a lot of older pc arcade and console games on archive.org and new originals on itch.io

Dangit, misread outer wilds... Thanks for the freebie heads up tho!

I really like Flame. I have it as my startpage on both desktop and mobile browsers. It's light and pretty quick to set up

Indeed, tailscale/wireguard/zerotier are excellent options to keep only the bare minimum (or even nothing!) exposed to the world.

As a non pixel user I'm locked out of options like Graphene, but /e/ has been a great daily driver for me for over 2 to 3 years.

Since now I'm on a decent powerful phone, I can leverage android's work profile (via Insular app) to keep a few annoying apps happy with MicroG. The main portion of my phone has it disabled and you can really tell the drain play services (even if used indirectly via microG) has on battery life.

I'm on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I'm using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.

There's people already using it like that: off the top of my head, Nick from the linux experiment posts his videos and podcasts via @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social

FirefoxOS lives on as KaiOS

Been there, done that. Start with something frendlier. I personally love CasaOS (its just 1 command you need to copy-paste on a fresh ubuntu server install)

setting up a graphical session with a non-root user and sandboxing Jellyfin media player would be relatively easily, for example using only flatpak, you could sandbox it so it only has access to your media path.

I'm using TelegramFOSS right off F-droid and until I read this thread I didn't even know there was a stories feature

just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)

Just nextcloud will do. Get Davx5 from f-droid and give it a long term login (on NC settings > security). It'll sync contacts, calendar events, tasks, etc on its own

Holy crap thanks for the detailed walkthrough! Im going to set it up as soon as I can!!

Probably overkill, but NextCloud has a health app with a pretty big suite of features

It's more of an action platformer, but a little obscure NES game from my childhood that deserves a loy more of attention: Vice Project Doom

Kongregate was dope, it was like Steam but for flash

Agreed. I'm in the same way mad as how quickly Canonical dropped support for ubuntu touch. Still lives as ubports but its not enough, as much as I appreciate the community effort, these kinds of things need a company that can liason with manufacturers for widespread support.

Librera reader off f-droid works great for me

The main drive for normies is avoiding friction. From chat platforms to the phone brand or OS, they simply don't want to learn something new, unless "everyone's using it".

The only reason that people stick to GAFAM is because it's made super convenient, no learning required, and if there's a problem or limitation, they can bypass it for a few bucks per month.

I'm all in for a decentralized self-hosted future, but the barrier to entry right now is too high for the average normie.

Wholeheartedly agree, but most people wont do it, so you end up with signal for 1 or 2 friends, telegram for a few others, and all the crap ones for the rest (whatsapp, slack, teams, messenger, etc)

Ive ditched every messaging app but signal and telegram, and its really annoying sometimes

Check AnythingLLM out, its just an appimage

If you're on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it's a mess

Safari is the new ie6

Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)

With a gpu in the mix, it could be used as an htpc/console and also work as a nas/media server with transcoding.

That being said, shout out to the self-hosted crowd! Look at the graph for number of servers!

the problem with FW's docs is that they are too opinionated, they expect a strict user and directory structure that should not be required for docker deployments. I modified the example docker-compose to use volumes instead of binding to host locations (except for the music:ro folder) and it didn't like it at all. I get that they prefer using ansible playbooks over docker, but even when starting from a fresh debian 12 install it'd fail, even though I followed that guide to the tee.

As someone else said on the thread, it's weird but there's no much choice for multi-library music-centric servers. Guess I'll have to wrangle Jellyfin into submission to tag my music properly.

While I was researching I found out about Squeezebox, as there are people using it in combination with HomeAssistant. Both solutions you and @cfi provided seem pretty doable, and I've already been tinkering with Mopidy on armbian. Snapcast is something I've never heard of, and I'm definetly going to tinker around it, I'd love to be able to sync several speakers around the house, specially for parties and gatherings.

That being said I think they are a bit overkill for the usecase, and I'm looking for something even simpler, maybe repurposing the guts of a cheap BT speaker I have lying around, see if I can find somewhere on the PCB where I can tap line level audio output and solder it directly inside the amp/sub box, along with a small power supply to run without batteries. (I know there are ready-made BT modules for this, but where's the fun in that!)

Nice, I might give that a go. So instead of doing Artist/Album/songfile.ext you just have all albums in the same level? e.g. Band - Album1/song1.mp3 Band - Album2/song1.flac

If that's so, I might be able to batch sort them to that structure and give Jellyfin another try

You can fight physics tho: better batteries, more efficient LEDs on screens, lower size fab chips, more integration of components...

That being said as much as I wanted a zenphone10 I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger, after reading they're blocking users the ability to unlock their phones.

In almost every phone I've put a custom ROM, I've gained significant performance and battery life

No idea if its better, its the thing I tried and it was pretty seamless to set up. With my aging hardware and AMD GPU, I have been pretty much sitting in the sidelines with this whole LLM thing

It's been over a year and a half since I built this setup, and to this day I kick myself for not building everything on top of proxmox. That being said, I'm on a rather limited hardware, so I don't know how much better would be to migrate to it (R3 3200G, 6gb of ram)

Maybe a bit of a low tech solution, but I have an older RPI 3B running a second instance of PiHole.
