And it’ll stay that way until people use, and keep using, this space. So, to use an overused phrase, be the change you want to see :)

I unplugged the bassist but noone noticed cared.

+1 for The Terror. That and Carrion Comfort are my two favourite Dan Simmons novels.

Notice how its the only copy? All the others on that table have small stacks. It’s like someone got it off the shelves deeper into the shop and then their nerve failed them.

Not sure that its a must have and possibly uBO could handle it if I could be bothered to check but I like LocalCDN too.

Is he quite a big cat, sort of a burnt orange colour, white underbelly with a very, very bushy tail?

I pay Bitwarden the tenner a year as I have no reason to distrust them and they’re definitely providing a more reliable, securer service than I can self-host.

I also do an encrypted export once per week and store that export to an encrypted cloud based service and an encrypted USB stick. Takes 2 minutes.

Bandcamp is still OK for me and I listen to some fairly obscure stuff.

Just to offer a heads up - there’s a new solution/site which is currently in Beta but is backed by good people (musicians). It needs an influx of music diversity (lots of metal at the moment) but if it gets that when it comes out of beta then it could very well be a good Bandcamp replacament - Ampwall

But inciting violence politically is, judging by recent events, absolutely fine.

Biden is a terrible President but American’s should vote for him because its a realistic probability that if Trump gets in, there’ll be no more elections to vote in.

Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.

Maybe not right now, but when shareholders start demanding action over NSFW subs or subs that discuss illegal activities or subs that discuss the evils of capitalism or subs that just aren’t profitable and those subs start getting shuttered, then they will.

Outsmarting Piers Morgan is about as difficult as obeying gravity.

In my own personal experience, Nextcloud;

• Needs constant attention to prevent falling over
• Administration is a mess
• Takes far too long to get used to its ‘little ways’
• Basics like E2EE don’t work
• Sync works when it feels like it
• Updating feels like russian roulette

Calibre on local machine, sharing a database with self-hosted calibre-web, OPDS enabled using a Kobo to read.

Thanks to the one person who actually posted something on topic I’ve found a few things I can modify.

I asked for help in a self-hosting community. How could my desired location be misunderstood by anyone with an IQ above 10?

This little side -journey has been a complete waste of time. All I wanted was a recommendation or two relevant to things I needed which I clearly explained in my post. Instead I got told I was making no sense and should use third party solutions which is a remarkable thing to read in a self hosting community where I would assume most people realise others want y’know to self host.

If people don’t have relevant recommendations they could’ve just said that or even better, say nothing.

Sorry, I don’t want to be rude but youre talking rubbish.

Getting all of them to install a big offline application with an interface that is totally new to them and will require a substantial learning curve if there’s a possible solution that allows them to simply and easily do the only thing they need is ridiculous.

What on earth are you talking about? How is an offline editor like Photoshop or GIMP in any way comparable to a simple app like the one i described in my post, that simply allows a user to add text to an image?

Kind of. But it wouldn’t be for memes. So that functionality but not that purpose.

Edit: using that as a search phrase has given me a lot of options that I can fork. Thanks for putting the idea in my head :)
