Depending on your device, gadgetbridge might do the trick as an intermediary. I went from my Garmin watch -> AmazFit watch based on compatibility w/ GadgetBridge and it allows you to export the .gps files and upload to many self-hosted apps.

The creator is interested, just waiting on next steps from the GB team: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/issues/4704

Does anyone know how to get an RSS feed for the newsletter? I am using killthenewsletter right now, but it expires prematurely sometimes

I believe in FOSS to the point that I often unnecessarily uninstall mysql for mariadb.

With that said, I hate to be the guy w/ a non-FOSS recommendation but my suggestion, Symfonium (a paid app that has a free trial), does have a way to get the full version without Play Services.

I use it for online radio and it also lets you add descriptions/tags you can filter stations based on the tags for if/when your list gets long. And the online radio isn’t even the most popular feature for most users:

• Completely reconfigurable layouts
• Completely customizable ‘Now Playing Screens’
• It’s just one dev and he is VERY responsive to feedback (perhaps overly as he chimes in on most negative reviews on Play Store) and has built out various features based on forum suggestions/bug reports
• Smart playlists: For example they have Favorites, Recently Added, Most Played, Random, Rediscover. And all of these can be further split by Album/Artist/Playlist/Track
• It is integrated w/ my server running Jellyfin, so I can play music across all my devices and allows you to cache/download content for offline playback but otherwise allows you to stream over LAN

There’s too much to cover about it w/o sounding like a shill. Here are some people that aren’t me w/ their opinions:

And here is an update on changes posted by the dev last week:

Are you using DNS Rewrites for jellyfin? I am using that (via AdGuard Home) w/ my Reverse Proxy (Zoraxy) and most of the apps work outside of jellyfin. Wondering if I need to configure the domain in the compose/env file 🤔

Any other tips for the VM and/or GrapheneOS compatibility? Ie: did you use a different profile? I run Debian throughout my house as is, but plan on integrating the VM for better integration but was a little hesitant to be an early adopter due to the potential nuances. (lemme know if you have a blog/gist/etc covering it too)

Jumping on the forgejo love train

I have the other perspective where I think that highly rated resellers have an incentive to share SMART results and ship good product. Perhaps its eBay centric, it has been my experience for used and refurbished electronics. If it’s any consolation, your perspective is likely what keeps the cost low for these sellers.

I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.

Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can’t be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can’t use Google or Facebook

Is element on the main profile or are you waiting for notifications from secondary profiles? Also, might not be related, but my messaging notifications w/ GrapheneOS has gotten worse in the past week or so (Google Messaging hasn’t always alerted to new messages until I open the app and it pulls them) so it might be a Graphene thing as well.

If you are concerned about HDDs failing, I would try the nvme instead. For me, I have a 1tb external HDD connected to my server-laptop. It’s definitely an eye-sore but my server is basically on the shelf out of the way and I SSH into the server 99% of the time unless it goes down.

The HDD is not blazingly fast by any means, but I stream jellyfin videos which is great. There is maybe a 1-2 second pause before a movie starts, but there are no noticeable buffering after, even @ 1.75 speed

If you have a spare laptop/phone, I’d find a good tutorial and start there and then venture towards new hardware as your needs require it. Personally, I bought a (used) laptop when my main laptop wouldn’t boot, but then I wiped my malfunctioning laptop and it started working again. I’ve been using the used laptop as a server ever since.

Personally, I have yet to find something that I couldn’t self-host on the laptop and still don’t quite grasp why I’d need a heavier-powered device.

Same. I’m on Debian tho so I’ve got ~6 months until it affects me :D

Two out of 10 Linux users agree that insert name here is the best distro

Thanks for the update!

It’s audio-specific but I use Audiobookshelf’s RSS feed

I have a local folder where I put downloaded youtube audio and the RSS feed updates automatically when new files are placed there. Then, I access it through Lissen or the official audiobookshelf app.

Can you elaborate on the AT subscriptions?

One alternative is to us SearXNG for similar functionality. The preference tabs work for them. I am using northboot.xyz and adjusted the colors and default engines but you can pick anything from searx.space

Keep us posted. I am using tailscale, but plan on transitioning to a VPS running a VPN and/or headscale on it. Your scenarios isn’t something I’m familiar w/ but might be a good option

Any plans for a docker container?
