Oh hey, this is just what I was looking for recently! I wanted to recommend PirateBox to another thread on here, but realised it was eol'ed six years back. This is pretty much similar usage, right?
Sure, I was being slightly facetious to make a point about the issues that Peertube solves. IMHO the most valuable part of Youtube is the one Peertube replaces — videos.
The Youtube advertising that people seem to make money off is the part I already do my damnedest to avoid with third party apps and front ends. Peertube solves that as well.
I use markdown extensively, but I'm honestly not fond of its tables function (which I assume you use for this purpose?). It works, but it's a bit static in my experience. Do you run up against the same, or is it actually an advantage in your use case?
Agreed, Nextcloud has gone from a lean little personal cloud to a hulking enterprise hub.
If you're after something that'll just sync your files between devices, try Syncthing. If you need files available online, maybe something like filestash or, like somebody else suggested, SFTPgo.
There are also tiny, lean calendar and contact server apps out there if you decide you need those. After self hosting NC for years I'm really happy spreading out the tasks over dedicated services rather than having all my eggs in one basket.
I'd add "report" to that advice. If somebody is outright being jerks, that is probably against your instance's rules — and if it isn't, there are plenty others to choose from.
Blocking helps you, but reporting people (or instances) that are just here to troll will help others.
+1 re WiFi. As I recall, with older laptops you may have to dig around to find some WiFi drivers for Debian — but they're most likely there, just not in the default repo.
On a good day he'll just redirect it to X. If he's off his rocker on ketamine he might have it display a deepfake porn video of himself performing oral sex.
Because "Musk sucks". That guy loves a dumb pun à la "let that sink in".
Right, it was the local filesharing part (like at a W/LAN party) that I wanted to recommend pirate box for, so I overlooked the other functions 🙂
Either way, bookmarked your GH repo for future reference, excellent project!
