What are the best proprietary/paid apps for linux? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed, OpenAudible is fantastic. I've been an audible member for ages. I really only listen to my books when commuting and traveling and the pandemic set me back in my listening. Using OpenAudible allows me to keep my library available on any device and use any application to listen.

Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times in c/[email protected]

I have used Baikal for caldav for the server, with davx5 on Android. Was solid. Moved to NC for files, so went ahead with calendar sync on NC too. NC calendar sync has already worked well for me, no hiccups.

The only issue I've had with NC is auto upload of photos from my phone. It constantly has conflicts. Otherwise sync of regular files works great.

Self-hosted media tracker recommendations? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I use MediaTracker.

I mostly watch stuff on Netflix and Amazon prime, never thought to see if there is a way to auto update my watch history. I'm terrible about remembering to update my watch history.

What are people daily driving these days? in c/[email protected]

Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.

Can't say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I've gotten to the point where I don't care about being a purist, don't care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.

I keep my books in AudioBookShelf and use the android app to download to my phone. But, AudioBookShelf doesn't work on Android Auto, so I use Voice to play the books in my car. They can share storage which makes it nice.

Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal (lemmy.world)

I am looking for self hosted blog/journal that is private by default. Not looking to host a public blog, rather something that I can write more personal entries on and is easy to read later. I want to be able to include multimedia in the entries.

Currently I'm thinking of a Mastodon server with posts set to private by default and turning off federation. It would be awesome to be able to post from my phone as events happen rather than having to find time later.

I've tried around with using IMAP and an email client, but not sold on it. Tried using a calendar, but too cludgy.

Open to other ideas!
