If you want to self host your contacts and calendars and have multiple users, I still don't think there is anything better. I hope Open Cloud gets there eventually, but right now its only the beginning.

the base install is still pretty lean, its only hulking if you enable all their new junk, but if you don't enable all that, the default, at least when installed it was quite lean.

No clue. But its large project. I've been using it since of was CyanoGenMod.

If you don't start using and contributing to free tooling now, they'll never get better and they'll never be "professional" (whatever that actually means).

You can continue to lock yourself into proprietary tooling, but that result will always be the same: a decent product gets bought, made subscription, get worse in quality while bleeding the customer out via subscription. You are already there will Adobe, and its started for Affinity.

So, the longer you hold out on FOSS tooling, the worse and slower things will be.

Look at how excellent FOSS tools are when they get attention and investment: blender and krita.

Get on LineageOS.

There isn't any difference. The team who was developing OCIS left own cloud and forked OCIS into OpenCloud. They'll continue developing OpenCloud.

OoenCloud is a fork of this.

If the ebay seller is the same as https://serverpartsdeals.com/ then they're great and have good standing in the community from what I can see. Contact them and get a replacement. This kind of thing happens with used drives.

It means you have no fking clue how any of this works. Libertarians don't want a society that functions well for everyone.

Their community spaces are largely unmoderated because of the libertarian belief that they'll just regulate themselves.

It shouldn't be that hard. What you really need is bandwidth.

The podcasting 2.0 spec has tags for alternate means of distribution as well. I've been wanting to see torrent magnet links in there, but it hasn't happened yet as far as I know

good shows, just don't get involved with their community, its an unmoderated, libertarian nightmare.

That's a tarpit that you're describing, like iocaine or nepthasis. Those are to feed the crawler junk data to try and make their eventual output bad.

Anubis tries to not let the AI crawlers in at all.

ok, then keep using your chromecast.

no, but then you want something like this https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

You use it as an input for something like snapcast.

You can get standalone Bluetooth devices that just output audio.

but honestly, the place where Nix “3rd party” tooling shines is in documentation.

totally amazing what can be done with millions of dollars in VC money, huh?

ytdl-sub is by far the lightest weight of all of them.

Softer light from a different direction would make this a lot more appealing.
