Might I introduce you to the wonderful language known as Nim? Python-like syntax, compiles to C, C++, and even JS, has mature libraries and good tooling, and some memory safety features built in! And yes, you can use pointers!

They didn’t include https so the link doesn’t know what protocol it’s meant to open with

If you use the public instance you don’t need to set up or host or install anything. You can selfhost it if you want, but the public instance works just fine.

One person goes to the web page and starts a room. The other can join the same room by knowing the name of the room. (It will generate a link when you create a room to make it easy to send to someone so they can join by just clicking the link.)

Consider giving MiroTalk a try. It has several versions but the P2P version would probably be perfect for your scenario. It’s free, runs in your browser, doesn’t need an account, and doesn’t have time limit shenanigans. I’ve used it in lieu of Discord calls before and don’t have any complaints.

I swear there was at least one more server I looked at but passed over and I cannot recall the name.

Maybe Jellyfin? It’s best at movies/shows but it also handles music (and more). The native music experience isn’t great but it works. For Windows/Linux/Mac you can use Feishin (I use and mostly recommend it, also you can use the web app version). Android has Symfonium I use and highly recommend it, also it works with FAR more than just Jellyfin). I don’t use iOS but I just looked for an iOS app and found AmpFin (not to be confused with Finamp).

You said your users have their own libraries. Jellyfin works great with this. Out each in its own folder, create a new library for each in Jellyfin (pointing to each folder), and you can choose which accounts can see which libraries (and optionally let them manage libraries too so they can delete songs or modify metadata for the libraries they have access to).

I’m a fan of Jellyfin if you couldn’t tell…

I use Watchtower and haven’t had any major issues in the two(?) years I’ve been using it. Make sure you use persistent volumes for your containers and make sure you back up those volumes. If anything breaks, you can roll back to before the update.

If you don’t use persistent volumes, you’ll lose data when Watchtower takes down the image and replaces it with the newer one (which doesn’t copy over ephemeral volumes).

I also recommend for database containers to use an image tag that won’t update with breaking changes. Don’t use postgres:latest, use postgres:15.2 or something like that (whatever the image you’re using the database for recommends).

I didn’t realize this when I first set up Radarr/Sonarr and they ended up copying every single file instead of hardlinking. By the time I realized, I had like 400gb of duplicate files. Ended up running fclones and getting it all back.

Portainer does store compose files though? I’ve manually used docker compose commands from the folders Portainer saves them in. They’re labeled with numbers instead of project names which makes it difficult to know which one you’re looking for, but I use rga so that wasn’t as much of an issue for me as it would have been otherwise. It was tedious, but the compose files very much exist on your hard drive.

I started with Yacht and moved to Portainer. Yacht’s ui was just too heavy and unresponsive for me. I got logged out of sessions without it actually telling me almost every time I used Yacht. I would have to log out and in again just to use it (a process that often freezed up as well for reasons I cannot comprehend). I finally had enough and switched to Portainer; not a single complaint since.

I imagine the largest mobile phone operating system on the planet has a few more downloads than one of the several available package managers for the comparatively very small desktop Linux audience, yeah. This is the Linux community, not the Android or Google community, so I’m not sure what you’re yapping away about or why.

edit: i wanted to know how many devices run android and according to this it’s three billion so you’re wrong anyway lmao

I was using Radarr/Sonarr to download files via qBittorrent and then hardlink them to an organized directory for Jellyfin, but I set up my container volume mappings incorrectly and it was only copying the files over, not hardlinking them. When I realized this, I fixed the volume mappings and ended up using fclones to deduplicate the existing files and it was amazing. It did exactly what I needed it to and it did it fast. Highly recommend fclones.

I’ve used it on Windows as well, but I’ve had much more trouble there since I like to write the output to a file first to double check it before catting the information back into fclones to actually deduplicate the files it found. I think running everything as admin works but I don’t remember.

If not then there’s always Navidrome which is built specifically for music. Haven’t used it myself but lots of people seem to love it.

I like Jellyfin for my media server, including music.

On Android I use Symfonium (works with Jellyfin as well as other backends). Nothing comes close to this app imo.

On desktop I use Feishin which serves me well (Jellyfin only afaik). It’s not perfect and it does have a bug where adding an album to queue will actually add all albums with that exact name to queue (even from different artists), but that issue is being tracked on GitHub and otherwise I run into few issues.

They misinterpreted “metaverse platform, mozilla.social” as a single item in the list, not as two items.

For anyone who isn’t aware, Mozilla has a thing called Mozilla Hubs that could be considered a metaverse product

Amazon bought Twitch for its video live streaming infrastructure/tech, which at the time was unmatched. Now Amazon offers that infra/tech via AWS and anyone can spin up a Twitch competitor just as capable.

Amazon doesn’t care about Twitch at all. Prime subs are just another benefit to make Amazon Prime more appealing to consumers, but iirc Twitch is the one who actually pays out of pocket for Prime subs.

Radar and Sonarr are tools to track movies and TV shows respectively. You can add a movie/show to track, tell it the quality you want it in, and set up Prowlarr or Jackett to give Son/Radarr the access to the torrent trackers it needs. You can also use Usenet but I have no experience there.

It will search those torrent trackers for releases matching your movies/shows in the quality and language you set for them and send the downloads to the torrent client you set up. When the client finishes downloading, Son/Radarr copies (or hardlinks) the files to your library folders.

If Son/Radarr is tracking a show that you currently have downloaded in 480p, but the quality profile allows upgrades up to 1080p, it will search for 720p and 1080p releases and pick the best match it can find. When the torrent client finishes downloading it, Son/Radarr will automatically replace the 480p release with the 1080p release it just downloaded.

I recommend against gogs. It’s missing lots of features that I expected and I ended up switching to gitea anyways. Gitea works well for everything I need and forgejo is a fork of gitea that I might switch to in the future.

Why not use a reverse proxy to keep everything on port 443 behind your own domain or duckdns? /gen

Yes, but to block fake news you need the max setting, which also blocks social media

If you’d prefer, of course, you could block social media without blocking fake news, because priorities
