  • My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades...

    Jump

  • Don't agree. Being hosting my email server for 20+ years without issues.

    Yes you need to study, no its not difficult at all.

    Check https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=email%3Astart it's really that, and guess what? It works!

    So, yes its getting more complicated but its still well at the grasp of a home hoster.

    Do you want it as simple as docker compose up? Grab mailcow.

  • Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ...

    Jump

  • See my personal notes. I do selfhost mail server, but on a vps to have a good IP

    Being doing so for 20+ years and recently rebuilt the entire stack.

    See https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=email%3Astart

    In short, I use postfix+dovecot, with opendmark and opendkim. Setup proper DNS email specific records and a few more steps.

    Overall it runs fast and perfect on 4gb ram very old dual core atom CPU.

  • Hey, o didn't known this, pinned in my bookmarks indeed! Will look into it and try as soon as possible! Ibalso already have slskd installed!

  • I have that setup... while it kinda works (provided the music you listen to can be found at all on torrents/usenet) its a pain and the playlists are not created, just the artists are synchronized. This is not good when all you listen to is one track from one artist that has 20 albums...

  • The last note taking app you'll ever need

    Jump

  • The original android app has been discontinued by the dev for reasons. Another dev picked it up and keep publishing SyncThing fork on FDROID, at least, i get it from fdroid...

  • The last note taking app you'll ever need

    Jump

  • When i tried Joplin i was put off by a few issues:

    • pretty sluggish UI on all platforms
    • not plain markdown: all your files have .md extension but the content is definitely more JSON than MD :)
    • synch is cumbersome unless you use sychthing or similar.

    It was over 1 year ago,so.

  • The last note taking app you'll ever need

    Jump

  • I don't really get all the hate on the comments. Yes there are tons of note taking alternatives, and yet usually none ever works just perfectly for anybody. More choice is a good thing.

    Yes it saves to a database, but it doesnt seems to be encrypted nor "proprietary" or "vendor lock-in" as the notes are, afterall, plain text and can be extracted from a database easily. Is it the best storage for text notes? not in my opinion, but that is not vendor lock-in.

    My choice is silverbullet on web and Markor on Android, with Synchting in the back (yes, Synchting still works pretty fine on android thanks to the forked app).

  • It worked perfectly on my playlist. It seems that if you want to do "bulk" download of entire artists it will hit some issues, but i guess it's due to spotofy throttling or limiting, in any case it's working pretyt nicely.

  • I had zero issues with Spotizerr, maybe because i have premium account? Anyway, this is how i set it up and installed: https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Aspotizerr in case it owuld be usefull for somebody.

    Spotizerr create the .m3u file too and Navidrome picked it up immediately, very neat.

  • I do have navidrome and use Symphony (for which i have also paid, because it's worth it), but i miss the spotify playlists and ease to use them. I would like to be able to download those in an easy way.

  • I didn't tought about that in that way, but put like this i guess its a spotify TOS violation. In that case, should i delete the post?

    Jump

  • Yes, i use the offline mode on my android device, but that music is still DRM protected and cannot be really stored in any way.

  • Spotube downloads from YouTube Music and as of late, it has been banned from accessing your playlists on Spotify if i am not wrong...

  • Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks?

    Jump

  • Never tried with non free podcasts...

    Maybe if you can specify authentication in the URL it can work? Or you manually upload them.

  • Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks?

    Jump

  • Yes, its plug and play easy peasy. Search and download directly inside abs

  • How to reverse proxy?

  • My take on Alpine as a platform for selfhosting

  • On gentoo, yes they are distributed as packages

  • Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks?

    Jump

  • +1 for audiobookshelf

    I use it for audiobooks and podcasts.

    Does it support ebooks? Never known.

    Anyway I wouldn't use it for ebooks, better to use a dedicated reader. Even if they seems to be the same stuff (books) they really are not as one is pure audio and other pure text. Way different way to use them that I think no good reader supports both formats at once in a satisfactory way.
