AntennaPod is great, I used it for years. I eventually switched to self hosting AudioBookShelf which does audiobooks, ebooks, and podcasts. One main reason was because podcasts more and more yank the old episodes and put them behind a patreon. AudioBookShelf downloads the episodes to your server so you always have them. About 5 months after starting using it another one of my podcasts pulled that stunt and I was super happy to have all of the old episodes still.

Matrix. Spin up a conduit server, doesn't tale very long and it works great. Clients arent perfect but the next gen clients are available in beta (element x) and will fix a lot of the issues current gen clients have

Screen sharing is still a pain in my experience. I'm a tiling window manager guy. I used i3 for years. Switched to sway, but have issues because xdg-desktop-portal-wlr can't do application sharing, only entire screen sharing. Well I have a ultra ultra wide screen, so people can't see shit on normal monitors when I try to share my screen. So at work, where I regularly have video conferences, I'm constantly changing my screen resolution so that I can screen share something that looks OK to others, but 1980x1024 looks ridiculous on my end on my ultrawide.

Hyperland can share applications and even regions, which is awesome, and I tested it successfully on my home gentoo system, but it only worked on Firefox. Didn't work for my jitsi electron app and didn't work in qutebrowser. And hyperland isn't easily installable on Ubuntu which is what I run for work because my work computer needs to just werk (gentoo is probably even more stable but I can't mess with long complie upgrades at work and some corporate software is only available as .debs)

So yea my life would honestly be easier if I just stuck with i3 everywhere but I'm stubbornly trying to use Wayland because I know it's the future but don't kid yourselves, it is a pain in the ass

While docker is open source I have no idea why systemd nspawn containers aren't more popular. Most systems have this built in without needing to install 3rd party software. And I find using it so much easier. I assign each container an IP address and manage them all with ansible. It provides isolation and convenience while not trying to reinvent the wheel.

I'm having a hard time getting into software that doesn't use traditional folder structures. I wish I could point immich to my NAS Pictures folder and have multiple places to seen the same exact files, immich when I want, nextcloud maybe, or just a file browser pointed to my NAS.

I'm having the same issue with paperless-ngx. I set it up and it's cool, but why can't I just point it to my Documents folder? I'm getting all of my 2023 taxes ready and now I have to upload them into two places, paperless-ngx for my records and Nextcloud so I can ultimately share a link with my accountant.

Am I old man yelling at cloud-ing right now? Why get rid of basic folder structures I just don't get it

Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I've been hearing it might be?

I do 90% of my TV watching with local content on kodi, the other 10% is live sports. I know the websites and they work very well (as long as you have an adblocker). My issue is - why is it so much worse on kodi using The Crew or Mad Titan Sports? The streams on those addons are nowhere near as reliable as the streams on the popular websites.

Half of the links on those addons do not work at all, 25% will load and constantly buffer to the point where it is unusable, and the final 25% are OK but will still buffer much more than the websites and occasionally just stop completely and you have to click on it to start it again.

Why are the websites so much better? I want to watch these games on my big TV with my home theater speakers, not on my laptop. And I don't want to fuss with plugging my laptop in for every game. Has anybody found a way to cast a Linux computer to kodi? Or are there better addons that I just haven't found?

Gentoo is fantastic for me on my home desktop. I love the rolling release nature and customization opportunities. Portage is so powerful.

For all of my work computers I use either ubuntu or kubuntu with sway. I love gentoo but with work devices I don't have time to tinker. There are also many programs I need for work that offer .deb installs that aren't in gentoo repos nor overlays.

For servers I love Debian.

I cycle between 4 pairs of shoes in summer, two pairs of boots in winter, and one pair of all year shoes. I have had them all for over ten years. Tips:

  1. Buy Goodyear welted shoes
  2. Use shoe trees
  3. Don't wear the same pair two days in a row

I also prefer to buy shoes made in UK, Italy, or US but that is just preference for perceived quality and definitely higher paid workers than most countries that mass produce shoes.

If you want a specific recommendation go with Allen Edmond Strandmoks. That's my all year pair. Great shoes.

I've been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.
