If you’re using Frigate with docker you could route the container through a gluetun container.

Not really, it’s still encrypted. If you’re not a political dissident and just using Signal to chat with friends then it is helpful to make yourself available to said friends.

I have notifications on when someone joins and maybe 75% of the time after I see the notification their account is “deleted” because they changed the privacy settings.

It’s not the end of the world but I do wish more people wouldn’t automatically pick the maximum privacy setting so that we could actually, yknow use it

You’re backing up 4tb for $6/mo? I looked into B2 for a 2tb drive and it was double that.

No need for an alternative, it can be self hosted and (for now) the original repo is still up: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

Oh nice,for some reason I thought that was only the 5. Surprised we haven’t seen more media center OS for it besides Kodi which is pretty meh these days.

I’m assuming you have a CEC dongle or use second remote?

I love Low Tech magazine! I have been reading them for years.

When I tried it I got the feeling it’s more for people looking to backup/archive entire YouTube channels than those (such as myself) basically just having what is functionally an RSS feed of most recent videos released this week (for example).

But like I said, it’s absolutely great at what it does I just found it waaaay too complicated than the simple “use jellyfin as a YouTube app replacement” I was looking for.

tubearchivist is great but probably overkill for someone just looking to subscribe and watch with Plex/Jellyfin instead of the YouTube app.

AudiobookShelf is great. One of the most polished self hosted apps out there and has a lot of great features that are lesser known (like converting to m4a)

The biggest problem with a censorship proof decentralized social media platform is that the instances without moderation inevitably attract the sorts of people that get banned from everywhere else.

Pardon my ignorance but isn’t that exactly what Inoreader and Feedly do?

Test failed sorry

Sorry I need to backtrack for a moment. I don’t understand how you’re suggesting right-wing discussion need not be on the “Threadvisere as a whole”? How would that even be possible? It’s an open platform, instances don’t get to control other instances.

When you say the discussions "need not be here" do you mean c/fediverse@lemmy.world? Or all of discuss.online?

As it grows I think it will be much easier to justify a new person or instance in cutting off entire toxic areas and that will only cause it to grow faster.

Right now we all have to weigh the balance between activity and toxicity but eventually we shouldn’t need to make that calculation, we can have “high moderation” and “low moderation” versions of every topic.

I did the exactly same for the same reason. I think Zorin is well made and great for someone who is not good with computer, but it is probably too simple for someone who is advanced enough to know what Linux is.

These days I recommend Kinoite or Bazzite for someone looking to ditch Windows; but they’re so similar the only question is if they’re planning on gaming with a controller.

For newbies ditching windows I like to recommend the Kinoite version of Fedora, it’s immutable and basically impossible to break, and apps are installed from the “app store” so it’s super easy for someone to understand.

Also KDE has just gotten really amazing lately!

It’s sad because he put so much effort into making evil malware that blocked out all the truth tellers but he can’t bring himself to use it because of some deeper disorder that doesn’t allow him to leave people alone on the internet
