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.

Just a few off the top of my head:

https://github.com/Arcticons-Team/Arcticons - a comprehensive minimalist icon pack

https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso - A good launcher

https://github.com/CodeWorksCreativeHub/mLauncher - minimalist text based launcher

https://lawnchair.app/ - A FOSS version of the default Pixel launcher

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)

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

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.

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

Confirmed. How many times do I have to confirm?

I made a blocklist but I don’t use it because I’m lonely and enjoy the harassment.

How do you ping a location update? I’ve tried sending the hidden sms that’s supposed to do is but it only seems to work about 25% of the time, and I have to run the actual location check like 3-4 minutes later

I don’t think you’re in the wrong to say that code nobody has reviewed has not proven safe, and a brand new project (of any kind) is not proven reliable. A brand new big project that’s purely vibe coded is every red flag of unsafe and unsustainable.

Yeaaah not to mention Immich already exists and is proven software.

Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).
