Thank you.

Yeah, we use Windows servers primarily. Thankfully what I do doesn’t require much interaction with them, though every once in a while I am subjected to SMB file sharing.

My work self hosts Gitea because Forgejo doesn’t support Windows. While I agree with Forgejo’s decision, it sucks to be basically stuck with an old pre-fork version of the forge I self-host.

Yet enforcing your copyright is exclusive to the rich. I had to move off of GitHub because of Microsoft infringing my code licenses and selling them as “GitHub Copilot”, and I have no way of fighting back/recover my losses.

I often have performance issues with Jitsi (“video has been turned off to save bandwidth”). Might this be down to which instance I use? Perhaps it’s time to self-host.

Gah, Nextcloud is missing all the features and is frankly unusable (mobile apps are slow, can’t make or view albums, and can’t “open with” links on Android at least). My family uses it and my biggest project right now is importing all our stuff to Immich when I finally get the NixOS server ready to replace Ubuntu.

Tuwunel had intentions to build a Synapse migration tool, but I haven’t heard anything about it since. Was waiting for it so I could bring over profiles and most importantly chat history for myself and my family.

Awesome! Maybe I can finally switch to using it, though OBS settings are quite confusing.

omg I totally accidentally enabled this

I’d bother removing it but it’s kinda funny to get an email reprimanding me when I ctrl+c out of a sudo command I mistyped, and maybe it will serve as a warning if it gets compromised :p

Very cool! Added the RSS.

Hmm no, I haven’t had this issue. Tempo works fine for me, it’s been mostly bug-free except for a few oversights:

• search doesn’t work offline
• can’t play AAC files
• can’t skip songs via my Pebble watch

I’m (still) on a Pixel 3a, running LineageOS, in case that matters.

I did use Feishin for a while, it’s an excellent music player but unfortunately not a native program. I might switch back to it from Tauon though, as actually playing the whole song before going to the next is a pretty nice upgrade hehe

It looks really good indeed, and I don’t mind at all to pay for apps (I pay for FairEmail)… however it is very strange for me to add a nonfree app to the list I use every day… everything else is open source.

I currently host Navidrome, which has an okay web player. On Android I use “Tempo” (though it is unmaintained) to connect to it, and on Linux I use Tauon (though it has very poor playback). I could not find a native Linux client that is not buggy unfortunately, so I’m also on the lookout for better solutions! I’m not familiar with the device you are talking about but every client I tried supports MPRIS, which are the regular media controls that can be used via the playerctl command, so you should be able to hook things up that way.

This is very cool! I’ll definitely use it if it gets a Nix package.

Never heard of FuriLabs, looks really cool. How open is the OS/hardware? Could be my next phone… though I’d love to see an immutable approach so I can’t be left with a broken system after an update.

The article is good, however I’d really appreciate having fedi-style content warnings on AI-generated images. I don’t interact with mainstream social mediums so I generally do not see it, however in the thumbnail and contents of the article there are some quite disturbing images and videos that I’d have chosen not to see (description is enough) given the choice…

Good news!

Good point… I tend to give family members Flatpak-based distros like Fedora for the nice app store experience, but I guess if you can get past the scaryness of test editing and rebuilding with a console, NixOS does come with the benefit of having waaaay more packages and much easier rollback. My poor father trying to run nvidia drivers on Fedora Kinoite, who has to rebuild the kernel for every package install…

Does your wife install packages with NixOS? This is one of the few distros I tried (and now main) that I genuinely cannot recommend to anyone not willing to spend days learning the lang & concepts.
