  • I just wish they didn't also constantly try to force backdoors into everything...

  • No no, on Windows it is not your computer, it is "This computer". The days of "My computer" are long gone.

  • I tag all my music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding to my server. I think most of the artists are good after that (i.e. if there is a featuring artist, it becomes a separate entry), but I typically use the album artist field to browse by artist.

    ETA: I have run into enough cases of Picard wrongly tagging my music that I wouldn't want it automatic. It is not often, but enough that I would be annoyed.

  • I have ended up using Zotero for this, which takes a snapshot of the webpage for offline reading (and preservation). Synced to other clients through my WebDAV server. Originally only used Zotero as a reference manager for academic journal papers, but liked using it more broadly.

  • Oh, first time hearing about them. Interesting. Does not seem flashable on other phones than their own at the moment? In any case, the year of Linux mobile is certainly nigh!

  • You could run Waydroid on it, which I think would let you use most of the apps you need, except maybe banking apps and the like.

    I would love to make a move, but my reason for not trying out for example postmarketOS yet, is the lack of access to several of the core phone features. From the postmarketOS wiki page, for my phone (Fairphone 4), it lacks access to camera, GPS, NFC (don't care), audio and battery (not sure what is meant by that), and has partial support for calls (not sure what is meant by partial support).

    I just now checked the status for Ubuntu Touch however, and it seems like they have actually gotten these things working. Interesting!

  • Their demise wasn’t due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn’t survive its initial growth phase.

    Hm, I thought their demise was due to them arbitrarily going back in time.

  • I run CalyxOS and have automatic updates from F-Droid.

  • I really want to get to a point I can transition to using this or another mobile Linux distro. My phone is fairly (hehe, it's a Fairphone) well supported, but my impression is that basic phone features are still not functioning properly making it more of a pocket computer and less of a phone. I still need phone features. As for mobile apps, I don't have many needs and I think Waydroid will get me far.

  • And this has actually happened before?

  • And apart from an undesirable bandwidth usage resulting from someone guessing their way to my file structure, how can this be used to compromise my server?

  • I'm not overly concerned about my instance running behind a reverse proxy. Perhaps I am just naive...

  • Why would they need to connect to a VPN every time they connect to Jellyfin?

  • I don't see the difference

  • I consider storing articles more as building a starting-point for research, rather than something I definitely think I will read at some point. I store by topic that is of interest to me, and when I want to do a deep-dive, I already have a bunch of articles waiting for me.

  • I use Zotero for this. Used to use it as purely a reference manager for scientific papers, but started storing all kinds of stuff for archiving or later reading. My workflow is getting all news/articles I might want to read from RSS, and add to Zotero what I want to keep.

    With the browser plugin you can store snapshots as well, so you can preserve it if it changes or is taken down. Not sure how a mobile experience would be as I only filter RSS-items on my phone, but no reading.

    You can use file sync through a paid subscription or use youe own WebDAV server for it (I will be moving to this). Other than that, it is a database and folder with files, so you can probably use SyncThing or store it directly in Nextcloud also I would think.

    I am a folder-person, but it also supports tags so you have flexibility in how you organize.
