So cool to learn about these, thanks! I’ve tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I’ve wanted for a while now.

This looks promising, thank you! I’m a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.

Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.

Interaction among platforms is hard I think because they each operate with different actions and elements. But even within platforms can be buggy for me, or possibly I just stumble upon restricted access, not sure. But some profiles on mastodon instances will show zero or limited content, when I know there’s more there. For example I don’t see many toots from .ie on my .social account for some reason. And some Lemmy subs will show zero or limited posts when I search them in the same way. The good thing is that this stuff seems to be being worked on constantly with all of the attention it’s gotten recently.

That’s great what you said, and that he’s comfortable enough to ask a lot of questions to improve faster. What you said comforted me also, as I’m trying to learn enough to self-host some apps. I just want to use some cool apps but am currently taking an SQL course because everything is so interconnected and foreign to me as non-programmer.

Their answers there do make it sound like clicks are necessary, but it’s my understanding that each search query also has a fixed rate. Advertisers pay for both clicks and impressions. That’s why everyone gets a tree counter that goes up for just searching. Granted it’s a very small earning for impressions, which is why it takes ~50 searches for a single tree.

You’re right, your IP is anonymized after 1 week. Their privacy policy seems great to me. I just turn off uBlock origin for Ecosia and don’t mind quickly scrolling past a couple of ads at the top of results.

It’s my firefox default search and I rack up a ton of trees for doing many quick and basic searches. If I ever need a more complex search, I use a different site. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing commitment.

Great point, thank you. Backing out into https://cs.lmu.edu/~ray/classes/it/, I see there’s tons of good notes from that computer networks course, much appreciated!

Super helpful in lots of ways, thanks!

Ohhh good thinking. He’s about to become my new best friend.

Cool site, much appreciated!

Great advice, thanks!

This is cool as hell, thanks! This comment section is a treasure trove of useful tools.

Does jellyfin handle audiobooks? For some reason I found the service lacking a couple of years ago, but can’t remember why.

So I got Plex pass and really enjoy it. The Prologue app gives you an audible-like interface for audiobooks that I love. Plexamp for music and Plex Dash to monitor the server. Audnexus matches audiobooks to Audible listings for the metadata. Plex movies and tv match to get metadata, trailers, behind the scenes, cast list, and rotten tomatoes reviews. If Plex ever gets too commercialized/restricted for some reason I’ll switch, but for now I couldn’t be happier.

Incredible list, thanks for linking everything! I look forward to checking out yattee and netnewswire. Probably a lot more. I’d add Omnivore (Pocket alternative) to the fully foss list. And Proton Drive is out of testing now I think.
