Symfonium is worth paying for, coming from a dude who had paid for like 10 apps ever.

Same, I fight the consumerist urge to catch them all keep everything, but instead shoot for a lower need to purchase more and consume more hardware. Electricity is cheap where I live, so downloading, then deleting shows that I and my household are unlikely to watch again for many years just makes more sense.

Wild, for me it was basically as simple as picking the unraid setup and pressing go - way less difficult than my first experience with Nextcloud (which was back before the All In One).

Wow, I clicked that link to see if I could learn more about this magical and strange art, and I have only come away even more delightfully confused. I have not wanted more like this since reading the depths from the writers of Morrowind…! Thanks for creating inexplicable content!

Seafile, gets the job done, is lighter on resources than Nextcloud and all its cool features, and encrypts everything so my friends can store stuff on the server with peace of mind. I also use Immich for photo backup. And am in the process of setting up Duplicati with a friend’s server. (Unraid)

This is exactly why I use and recommend Gnome. Less fiddling around and it does powerful stuff for me, and for others it is quick to learn and its simplicity makes it hard(er) to get lost in the details.

I know its an american trope to measure things in ‘school busses’ or ‘empire state buildings’, but this is a really good arbitrary measurement!

TL; DR thanks, I hate it.

Its much closer to a Dropbox/google cloud folder with game installers in it than it is to some of the other suggestions.

Like Steam or Epic or GOG, you click download, and it downloads the game files and installer, which you can then use to play the game.

So in the case of ROMs you would be better off with the other options, as this would just download the ROM file, and you would then have to figure out your own emulation situation from there.

Gameyfin might be close to what you are looking for, my friends and I use it for our DRM free games.

Ooooh, this looks good! Just after I went through most of the other task apps and found them lacking, this appears!

Neat, this looks really great! I am already enjoying a similar function for my blog via the Digital Gardens plugin in Obsidian the markdown note taking app. Makes it super easy to make a blog out of your preexisting notes, but even with that I still have a hard time blogging often.

Holy…! Thanks for mentioning Commet this is so much better than Element - I think there is a good chance I can move people to Matrix using this!

I just found and set up Gameyfin (a play on Jellyfin). Still in the testing it out phase, but I love the idea of a collection of my friends and my DRM free games that we can all share with less reliance on big companies.

Meanwhile I’m just out here banging my head against a wall for hours having tried to make it work on Unraid and ended up not succeeding…

Thanks for posting, both a great reminder to try setting this up on my unraid, and also to add the RSS feed of that site to Feeder.

You know, I’m really curious about xmpp, kinda wanna check it out, but then every time I am reminded that it exists it comes with a new and different chain of dependencies? other apps? whatever the other things are anyways that people list with it. And then I don’t bother researching because suddenly it seems like the more complicated option. Not intending to insult, just lamenting.

Same, I switched over yesterday and I found it actually does all the things I was hoping for!

Reducing keyboard size, removing suggestions bar, adjusting timing on holding for symbols or numbers, emoji key, theming, and swipe typing can be enabled (its just a file that they cannot or have chosen not to install with the app, as the rest is open source as far as I understood).

Woah cool, this is the first time I’ve actually read about postmarketOS, other than seeing it mentioned occasionally, and it’s pretty neat to see it coming along!

We must be pretty close on that by now, I can emulate a number of Switch 1 games surprisingly OK (not amazing, just OK) on my S21!
