I only use Jellyfin because we want to watch it on the TV and not on the laptop.

Hm My PieFed instance would be the only one fitting the “daily” bill.

Radicals is an amazing software but I also struggled to understand the concept at first, the documentation assumes you know so much already, which you normally don’t. But once you get through the initial hurdle it’s really reliable and uses minimal resources.

But about the videos and photos I think you’re a bit wrong, I still rewatch my dads home videos from the 90’s

I moved to https://mxroute.com/ and payed $15 for three years of hosting because they had some promotion.

Ok that might be I have no idea, it was sour as far as I remember. That was over 20 years ago.

Isn’t omarchy just a preconfigured Arch + Hyprland + Dmenu?

I never went that route have always been using Arch with gnome until I like you liked what I saw with Hyprland (it was before Omarchy blew up) and just configured it myself over time and pushed my configuration public once it was stable enough: https://git.jeena.net/jeena/hypr-dotfiles

It’s just dot files (configuration files) anyway.

In the beginning I sometimes had to log in to gnome because some things didn’t work but over time it happened less and less.

How does the ale stay in there? Or is it just a little bit?

Hm what is that? I know the words but I never heard them in this combination as a dish.

Fish and Chips with vinegar in a newspaper, it’s surprisingly good. I had it somewhere in a suburb of London in some traditional shop and the grandma who was in front of me put so much vinegar on hers that the whole counter and floor was soaked in it.

Yes there are several ways to do it:

1. Put a password on a specific video and share the password with specific people
2. Make them “internal”, they will not be distributed via activity pub and only people who have an account on your instance can see them (this is what I do, I gave friends and family an account on my instance, about 90% of my videos are internal)
3. Make the video unlisted, like on youtube only people with the direct link can see it, doesn’t federate and doesn’t show up in lists or search
4. Make it private, only you can see it

Immich for backups from the phones.

PeerTube for videos worth sharing with friends and family.

That was still impressive, I can’t do it better.

Oh we have a Volvo S60 and it has a screen but the map app is so bad that we put our phone there while driving, but every time you go into reverse you can’t see the back driving camera. How does your retrofitted system teal with stuff like that?

Thanks, my old german blog is https://paradies.jeena.net/ but the last post there is from 2012, so I’m not posting in German anymore. I stopped when I moved to Sweden and couldn’t share my blog with anyone, that’s when I started the new blog in English so that both the Germans and Swedes could at least in theory read it. Sadly I don’t have much time for well researched blog posts, so I only seldom post even there, but once in a while I do.

Swedish I never blogged in, even though it would have been good to improve my Swedish writing skills.

While this is true, to be fair to them your family and friends probably stopped posting years ago.

I wrote about the same frustration a while ago: https://jeena.net/my-facebook-feed

In that article I also mention https://www.facebook.com/?filter=friends&sk=h_chr which only shows posts of your friends which I used for some time as my bookmark for Facebook, but so few people post there that it’s just not enough for me to come back regularly.

As a child in the 90ies I did not know you could buy games, the only way I knew was to copy it from a friend.

Later my cousin traveled to Poland where he bought pirated floppy disks, this is how I realized that you could somehow pay to get access to many new games.

We have IPFS already, which is a federated file system which doesn’t depend on domains, but has content hashes. And we also have BitTorrent with magnet links, also independent of domains. So something similar could be implemented and I think it would be neat.

except for the indigenous originally came from somewhere else

This is not true. Even the indigenous originally came from Africa, because we are all African apes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homininae

Because you point to :latest and everything is dockerized and on one machine? How does it know when it’s time to upgrade?
