I agree with you on the CLI part. I tried Jellyfin once and it’s basically the same as browsing directories with movies in a file manager, for which you don’t need the whole heavyweight software stack.
I know Jellyfin also has transcoding and probably some even more exotic stuff, but even my phone can play full HD from SMB without transcoding, so I have no use case for these extra features.
Kodi is a good player on TV. Phones and tablets have VLC and MPV.

No no, I’ve found it, read it in whole and remembered it

The whole category is an amazing read: https://changelog.complete.org/archives/category/technology/children-computing
Reminds me of this post, I wanted to do something like this when I have a kid, but it turns out not all children are the same, who would have thought, and mine isn’t interested in how things work.

I got mine a comic book which introduces making simple games in mit scratch. The kid loved the comic, read it multiple times. We sat together and entered the game, had a lot of fun changing the characters, and never did that again (I’m not pushing). The computer is still a boring thing dad does for work.
It doesn’t help that I can’t explain what I’m doing on my computer on the few times the kid bothers to ask. I’m writing a program that transforms this wall of text into that spreadsheet 🥱
Change your instance (posted via a VPN)
Yeah, sure, 5 years after google flagged one of the sites i hosted, some firewalls (including isp-level blocks) mark the domain as unsafe. Google removed the block after more than a week but the stink continues until today.
It was also a development domain and we were forced to change it.
Now imagine you’re running a successful open source project developed in the open, where it’s expected that people outside your core team review and comment on changes.
I got a server for free and at one point, over half of my energy bill was for storing movies and nextcloud. Depends on the energy cost where you live, but for that price I could have paid for the highest tier of some cloud office suite that doesn’t run slow like nextcloud, and the highest plan of netflix.
Of course i chose self hosting, but this time with energy efficient hardware, server now takes 50 watts peak, with 4 hdds and an nvme. Asrock rack motherboard, with IPMI.
So it works now! Good job
Have you checked if statement-based replication works from mysql to mariadb?
Copyparty is clearly labor of love, some UI choices are questionable, but the docs and the ease of setup are amazing
All in one? No, not really.
There are some projects which automate setup of popular FOSS programs, and add some kind of SSO or GUI to integrate them. Freedombox, Yunohost, Sandstorm.io are examples of that.
I moved to Syncthing. Some people say Seafile is good.
Briar isn’t really comfortable for every day use, it’s way too basic. And I’m comparing it to Conversations, not something rich like Telegram.
Examples? No photos in the group chat. No copying mesaages to clipboard in the desktop version.
