Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.

I guess I’ll never know what the kids are saying ever again because there’s no way I’m installing either of those apps.

I wish the web interface let you sort the sub categories both ways. I have a series of subcategories of Year/month that I’m using as a journal and the longer I keep writing, the further have to scroll down :/

Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.

The Chicken Dance.

Yes, that’s exactly what I thought I had implied.

“It’s not rocket surgery.”

This one irks me. Combination of “rocket scientist” and “brain surgery”.

I’ve got two just lying around. What image can I use for the Android auto adapter?

I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:

Here’s the initial post of Verionica’s video on booting from ISO files: https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112905487325961707

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

Does a bike helmet count?

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I’ll take it, but I doubt it will be.

I see what you did there.

Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.

+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.

Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet

I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It’s called pine pods and it’s an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud’s version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.

I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.

My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.

I use it! It is miles better than other Jellyfin apps for music, but there are still things I wish it still had.

I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.

So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)
