You can already do this. I host a Ts6 server…

Matrix, use the sable (2.0) client

Having gone through my own DMCA slog with a news site using my artwork without permission, having copyright without it being registered is basically useless. I consulted two different lawyers and both of them recommended the same thing, register every work I produce, which is just not feasible.

Took 2 years and multiple self submitted DMCAs before they finally removed my artwork. Lawyers basically told me I couldn’t do shit unless I registered my art.

I’m so mad that ai generated objectionable material is considered fine because it isnt illegal but someone draws a werewolf with its dick out and it gets removed for “promoting beastiality”

Source: involved in a lot of NSFW furry artist communities and constantly see peoples work being removed, flagged, or accounts lost for less.

Have you tried suwayomi? Its a desktop version of tachiyomi and uses tbe same plugins.ive found it very solid and has been around for a long time.

Lidarr for discographies and keeping up with releases, deemix for downloading singles direct from deezer. I often only like one song from a release and hate having to filter through full discographies to find the one thing I like, so this works great for me. Deemix is also blazingly fast.

This all goes to jellyfin and i play it on my phone with symphonium.

Post length capped unless you pay Emotes can’t be used between servers uses you pay Tiny Image upload limit (unless you pay) Profile decoration requires payment and is basically a blaring ad Can’t readjust UI size Nitro and server boosts as a whole Ads. So many fucking ads. You dont notice them until you try another platform, but i needed to pop in to check a post history thing and my GOD the amount of ads

I recommend looking into rssbridge too! Its a companion that makes most websites rssable

MAM has some comics and manga, but its not extensive.

To clarify, are you looking for where to get a pihole or where to get the LG rules?

Pihole is essentially a dns server that routes junk you dont want to nothing so that ads or trackers cant phone home. You can run it on any computer, but then need to make sure your router or devices are using it as a dns server.

The rules for blocking can be found in lots of places, everyone has their own lists. Im not familiar with lg specific rules but there are probably hardware telemetry lists out there if you search pihole lg block list

No way in hell id buy that. Soon as the app is dead so is your dishwasher, at the whim of the manufacturer

Invidious

Fluffy is has voice experimentally right now. But element and sable have the most feature rich voice chat

My coworkers use Claude like an actual brain subscription, and I have started to write off everything they say as if it came straight from the AI. They have gained so much unearned confidence about shit they have no idea about, and have even argued with the development team about it.

I got into an argument about how in band and out of band DTMF work with one of them for a solid half hour before they finally admitted they didn’t actually know but were going off what claude said.

I wanted to punch them for wasting everyone’s time. If you don’t understand stop answering definitively like you’re the expert.

Some customers have switched to using AI emails too. Customers that used to ask extremely low level questions will now submit a 2 page long email with action items and explinations about why our product does X, Y, Z, and I have to read it twice to figure out their problem isn’t even in the action items because the AI hyper focused on the wrong thing.

Like ok thanks you dumped the entire app log into Claude and asked it “why no work” and Claude read an error message that’s benign and now the customer is demanding fixes for something that is not and never has been a problem and won’t actually solve the root issue.

I vastly prefer it to calibre web personally, but it’s all up to personal preference. Kavita has a pretty extensive user guide too

I use calibre to label books by series. I don’t think I did anything crazy with the folder structure outside of putting comics, manga, and books in separate directories.

I have one media directory with books / manga / comics in separate subdirectories. I process metadata with calibre or other tools as needed, and point Kavita at my books directory and tell it to scan. Kavita should automatically group books of the same series together provided the series name is exact. (eg: “The adventures of Bob” vs “adventures of Bob, The” would be seen as different series. Kavita should also group the libraries together by directory, so I have 3 libraries, books, manga, and comics.

You do need to make sure books are all in the correct formats. I batch convert everything to epub and limit Kavita to only show epubs to avoid duplicates.

The upside to all this is that Kavita comes with a cleaner interface imho, opds is easier to set up, and I’ve had less issues with it. Also users can set their own reading lists and collections if you are setting this up for other users.

For books: mam (manually now that readarr died) -> calibre -> Kavita

If it’s a manga or comic, bypass calibre, straight to Kavita + komf for metadata / covers.

I literally use matrix voice for my d&d group every week lol, just join a server that has voice

Only thing I dislike is the lack of software based noise cancelling is a bit awkward but very managable

It’s not the average consumer spending thousands on tokens. Even my work just had a meeting about how “the free lunch is over” now that AI costs are expanding, and they bought their own hardware to investigate hosting local models.

Linux is widely used in the enterprise world. It’s the home consumer world that doesn’t use it as much and even that is rapidly changing as things enshitify.
