just a yoke don’t get too eggcited friend

spite software is the best kind of software

browser based “local” tools suck if you ask me

In the worst way possible, in the browser.

Doesn’t mean it’s immune.

That is what it means.

Any project with a GPL or similar license is effectively immune from takeover.

As long as there is someone with the skills and interest with access to the source (and there are legions), they can use it. If someone wants to keep it the way it was or change it in some big way, they can fork it.

Every time there has been a corp buyout or ideological divide, the people exercise their rights and projects fork, preserving the independence and community values.

Kindly point me to three generalist, widely known XMPP servers.

The lack of generalist widely known XMPP servers has nothing to do with the fact that today anyone who wants to deploy a modern up to date XMPP server can do so, and has choices. There are also modern actively maintained clients. That’s my point. There are also many general free servers to join, even if not well known.

If you base the value of something on its popularity rather than its utility, then we aren’t concerned about the same things. As long as I can use the software I want to use in the way I want to use it, then I’m a happy user. I can’t control what other people use.

It’s the old “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy in a new form.

Do I need to point out that this has never worked against linux/open source?

Probably but I’d have to look into it and see for myself about the details. I’m not going to let some asshole burn down perfectly good open source just by giving money to it.

Or I can ignore Omarchy. I can continue to use and support the open source projects I like. I’ve been a happy linux and open source user for 25+ years. So far no asshole with money has been able to mess it up yet and I don’t see that changing. Many have tried.

It was a typo, fixed.

I loaded this list into Dispatcharr and then went through and tested and added what looked interesting to my channel list. Right now I have 60 channels that I can watch via Jellyfin.

These include movie channels, news channels (from several countries). music videos, comedy, documentary. Also streams dedicated to older shows like CSI, Beavis and Butthead, etc.

Mostly I watch music video channels while I’m working or doing chores. News when I want news, and Buzzr because I like old game shows when I just want something chill.

ETA: Here you can find links to all the lists https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/blob/master/PLAYLISTS.md

I’ve recently been getting into free IPTV streams. There are 1000s and 1000s and free streams from all over the world in pretty much every language with over 2000 in English alone. Most are not geo blocked. You can find a list here: https://iptv-org.github.io/

Yes, I think part of the trick is that the CEO is a great video producer and has a large fanbase for his yt channel who are very enthusiastic about his ideas even if they won’t actually buy such a phone.

I think the problem is that they grossly over estimated how many people actually wanted to buy a “legit” Commodore branded Commodore Ultimate when they came up with the idea to buy the Commodore brand.

Now they are trying to come up with ways to make it profitable but they don’t really seem to understand Product Market Fit.

I think it would be a better idea to do some high quality branded merch.

What are you doing Hermes?

I do think the Ultimate C64 is very nice. If it came out 5-6 years ago I would have bought it. By the time it came out tho, I have already put together a couple of my own “ultimate” C64s. For someone who is starting from scratch I would certainly suggest a Commodore Ultimate.

For me, I’ve been hoping they would do something more like the Mega65.

That’s the thing. I already have almost a dozen original and remake Commodore 64s. Also Plus/4, C128, and so on. I don’t know who the target market of the new Commodore is, but it doesn’t feel like its me.

Come on Commodore, I want a retro computer with new Herdware in it. Not some crippled linux phone.

Reading this thread, it seems like two different groups of people are having two different conversations.

For me, self-hosting is just that, running my own stuff at home for myself (and my immediate family). My motivation is privacy and freedom. I want to use services that are free of commercial incentives against my interests whenever possible. That usually means self-hosting my services.

I’ve been a system and network engineer for most of my career and I like configuring and managing stuff. I like knowing how everything on my home network runs, where and what data is shared, etc.

As soon as people start talking about “my users need …” I’m out. That sounds too much like what I do at work. I want to relax when I’m at home. Jellyfin is perfect for me to do that with my content without needing any of my data to go to any companies.

For everyone who wants to be an IPTV operator, Plex is the best choice right now. Jellyfin isn’t really focused on that use case.
