Navidrome + tempo (or any other subsonic clients)…

And spotizerr to fetch from deezer/Spotify once. Or Slskd for a nice soulseek experience

I think your autocorrect went a bit too far, I cannot understand what you wrote.

Using a different distro feels awkward. I am so used to how stuff is organized in Gentoo :) but it’s still Linux, so no, it’s only minor differences.

(Spcially, i hate when using a SystemD based distro, because i am not used to it and it honestly feels cumbersome compared to OpenRC. Gentoo also has SystemD support, it fully support it, but i never found the need for it, so i never switched, and never got familiar with it. My fault)

Last weekend i setup a laptop from deleting the windows partition to full LXQT desktop in 4 hours. The laptop is quite fast, and i skipped all ocmpiler hogs like firefox (choosed firefox-bin) and rust (choosed rust-bin). Later on, i also installed a full plasma+kde environment in some more 10 hours (all compile time in background, while using the laptop on LXQT).

The biggest downside of Gentoo is being so niche, i always fear that some day it will be abandoned due to too few people maintaining it. I had this fear for the last 10 years, and never happened, so.

There are no real downsides to Gentoo IMHO, except becoming too expert with Linux :)

Really, it’s mostly understand what your are doing and editing text files. Much easier and better documentation than most other distro.

Full time user of Gentoo since 20+ years here. Oll servers, workstations, laptops and even on an android tablet once.

It’s not complicated at all, mostly just different from anything else. And truly configurable to the last bit.

Edit: it seems there aren’t may gentooers here, AMA :)

Very much yes!

Leftist doesn’t mean communist or socialist.

And also doesn’t mean a specific economic model, more a set of principles that guide your reasoning and behaviour (hopefully)

I don’t care for the pwa since I use Markor on android and syncrhing…

Yes the looks are ugly and it’s been a pain with SSO and auth in general…

Let me know!

I like how your project looks more.

I currently use Silverbullet.MD, which is cool, but a bit too much for my needs.

Can you tell me the pros of using jotty instead?

No, it’s not. The key point is let each tool do its job. Let your reverse proxy do https as it Is intended to do, and will do more securely than your own implementation.

I never trust any random project tls implementation. Just use my nginx reverse proxy https setup that is proven and battle tested.

So yes it make sense and it’s actually a security enhancement, not otherwise.

If you are not willing to setup your own reverse proxy and open your services to the internet, you are the security risk.

Well, now try Gentoo!

It will take a few days of compiling… ;)

Cool idea!

But why would I use it? What advantage does I give me over traditional MD? The opportunity to use different filesystems on different disks? Or hot-add already formatted disks? I don’t really get it.

It took a few years, a good therapist and an amazing new relationship…

Dogs can express and feel lots of emotions. But don’t humanize them.

I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.

I think it’s a neat project!

I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.

Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.

I loved photofield!

Matrix? You can setup an account on a public server without self-hosting it, then access via Linux and android clients.

XMPP as well, but I don’t know if there are public servers

Both cases you can also self host the server. For matrix, avoid synapse and use Continuwuity.

I prefer FluffyChat. Since version 2 is better than before.

Still no matrix client for android as good as any other “proprietary” chats.

Never used calls…

I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.

It’s a rust server alternative to synapse, it’s lightweight and works very well.

Fuck synapse, it’s a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.

I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.

I have winter snow tires from them as well. Not studded, illegal here.
