Racknerd. I have two VPS with them for a total of $25/year. not as feature filled as any of the big players but it’s dirt cheap. Found them on https://lowendbox.com/

I like it. Not gonna nitpick. It’s nicer than those microsoft fonts that came out recently

At long last, linux with microtransactions

linux is at single digit percentages and that’s including steamdecks so… no, not even clsoe

Holy shit. The mad lads did it

Yeah this unfortunately doesn’t exist the way I’d like it either. I just simply won’t use an ebook reader if it’s just running in the browser. It really needs a dedicated app. There were two awesome ebook readers, one called marvin3, the other I don’t know the name. They both kinda stopped dead end, and since they were unfortunately closed source, even if the community wanted to, we can’t just pick up where the author abandoned the work. one of my dreams is to make a completely floss ebook ecosystem. A central collection/library that can serve to however many clients. A client that’s a full application for ios and android, as well as computers/macs. Also a client for appletv and other tv ecosystems so you can just lay on your couch or on your bed and read without having to actually hold the thing in your hand. Eating popcorn while reading a spy thriller the likes of john lecarre and you will be converted. All of which are as featureful and customizable as marvin. I’d rather not do it myself but it’s just kinda one of those things that really needs to be done!

I’d really love to see the client app have customizable skins/chrome. you could have an elegant woody, a futuristic white tablet, an aged leather bound tome. Or just no theme at all. You could customize the context menu for when you highlight a phrase or a word. Want different actions available on longpress, go for it.

I have written so many pages of features and ideation but haven’t even come up with a name, let a lone started any coding whatsoever 😅

Of course interop would be a central concern. Serve you library to any client that accepts it’s standard api. Add a plugin to the server so it works on whatever client you like! Fully open source so if the project is abandoned, it can be forked an given new life.

…Yeah I really have dreamt about something like this for a looooong time

Really cool. Anyone know if screenshot + pdf is as good as what raindrop does to archive saved sites? Is it possible to use archive.org or something similar in place or in addition to the builtin archiving?

Fucking awesome. I love pop os but I’d probably switch to this in a heartbeat. Ubuntu has such a huge community so you basically have access to every package out there, but I’d rather deal with fedora’s package manager and flat packs then ever think about dealing with snaps

So it is! Damn I’ll definitely be using this then. At least until they decide to close the gates and force you into a subscription again. For now though, I’d say it’s the best option. But don’t be surprised when they enshittification continues

It’s in a really unfortunate state. FOSS wise, the only thing I can recommend is navidrome, BUT finding a good app for it is REALLY hard.

One step away from that would be plex pass, which is getting enshittified more and more and will likely never reverse course. But if you just want a good self hosted music player, plex pass is much better than navidrome, to the point where you have to be REALLY dedicated to decide on a navidrome solution over plex amp.

Then there’s Roon, which is as far as you can get from a FOSS solution but is unfortunately the best solution to self hosting and streaming combined, and it has an awesome interface where you can read bios of the artists, select a composition of theirs, view any documented covers or interpretations of it, find out everyone who played on a particular song and what they played, then check out their entire range of output, and so on. There’s unfortunately nothing close to Roon for that experience , but Roon still has MAJOR faults and bugs.

So you get nothing and you’ll have to make do with that :\

BTW I’d be stoked to work on a project that aims to make a FOSS version of Roon. I just want to see those fuckers suffer the way I’ve suffered dealing with that horrible program

I’ve literally never seen a project remotely interesting that has their documentation on discord

Well that could be annoying if you’re trying to scroll past an open application but you end up vertically scrolling within the application instead.

I don’t personally get anything from this threads. It’s kinda self congratulatory. I guess I understand being excited about it though

It could also be your router/firewall/server combo.

Someone installed chimera os already! Should be in YouTube search results

I do think they’ll release an amd version

Hmm that’s a good point. Though I think it shouldn’t be too bad unless under heavy load all the time. I think the CPU is made for laptops. That said it’d definitely have to be doing more than just working as an opnsense box

Also for media creation, using my main pc and nvme as a staging area and moving finished work and archived projects to my NAS is really helped along by the 10g connection I have. Easily saturates it with 6x7200rpm exos drives.

I updated it.

Great info thanks. Definitely agree, it’d be worth it for the lower power draw and lower heat output.

I’m a beginner homelabber with just a NAS and a repurposed alienware laptop. I’d be able to offload all containers I’m running onto the ms-01. Also 4k video can be really hard on the CPU so even if it’s overkill for just 4k video, that headroom is of course helpful, especially if you’re running multiple containers, or even if you have two or more people in the household streaming simultaneously
