At the moment I am affected by this bug, where the status bar hides functionality. This means I can’t hit “Start to read” etc. when in vertical mode. When I change to landscape, the site reloads and I need to start from the beginning. It is fixed by now, but it hasn’t been released on F-Droid yet, and it is 5 months old.

In general it is much slower than the web frontend.

Even the Android app is just a webview wrapper, it is super slow and buggy…

Interesting approach, I would have to test this out. I don’t usually add people to my Tail net, but share my server as single device. I don’t think there is low limit for that, but I am not sure.

Very easy server-wise. But you may neeed to help your family member/friend with the initial set up on the client, if they are not so tech-savy.

Do you have any experience with logseq? I am using it as I looked for an obsidian alternative that is FOSS. I don’t really use much of its possibilities though, so I don’t really know how they compare.

IT department told us to not use any browser until further notice lol

I don’t think that is how it works. I don’t necessarily need a reference to tell something is a good or a bad product. I have never said that Jellyfin is more polished than Plex is, just that my impreession is contadictionary to yours of Jellyfin being a duct-taped mess. No idea why you would argue against another persons obviously subjective opinion?

Not that I want to disagree with you, and I have never used Plex. But I was shocked how polished and easy Jellyfin is for an open source project when I used it the first time. It feels like a very mature piece of software to me. My gf really loves it, too.

I agree setting up tailscale for remote access was a bit of a learning curve though.

For me it was the missing support for “auto fill” when using Link posts on Voyager. Small issue, but annoying enough. Also PieFed.social blocking some stuff without it being obvious why at the beginning. I could have changed instances though.

Not self hosted, but I’m a huge fan of Broccoli!

The people love algorithms, even if they don’t admit that. Reddit and the other platforms invest a lot of money to make people more addicted, and it works. Lemmy on the other hand… well people quickly engage with lemmy.ml and think what the fuck is this place

We are all learning and we all make mistakes. It’s part of the journey.

Not a server, but a storage box from Hetzner I use for my most important off-site backup. At home I have a small Dell Optiplex that runs Jellyfin and is exposed outwards via Tailscale. It does consume a lot of electricity, was cheap, great performance. I don’t know what is holding you back from self-hosting, but it does not need a lot of effort.

Wearing pants with pockets too small for a modern smartphone is a style choice

Have you ever bought women’s pants?

I don’t want to spend 1000€ on a new phone. I hope they make it possible to install GrapheneOS on their budget phones as well. I am buying used Motorola phones for 150-200€ for years now, works great. In don’t need to play FortNite on my mobile or whatever people do with those specs.

But why is the list not hosted in a repo or something but instead needs to be over at lemmy.ml?

That sounds interesting — can you show me how to reverse a linked list in Python?

I use PiHole/RethinkDNS, but that’s not the point. Of course a company wants to make money, that’s why I pay them a monthly amount for my subscription. If it’s not enough to have a successful business, then ask for more money. But don’t shove spyware up on me. Tidal does not include Facebook spyware, so Tidal it is.

That’s a nice setup. I actually let restic do my backups. Is there an advantage of using EncFS/rsync? Like not having to use SSH?
