Oh! I should get back to it… Togrther with the winamp skins I had downloaded from internet archive.

Plus projectM from Steam, and Spotube… I could stop using the monthly subscription for (*1) an ugly UI that barely handles drag-and-drop and is a mess to make my playlists with.

(*1) tbh, the recommendation engine got me hooked at first, but my interest has been fading away.

Oh, it’s already happening. Discussion here: https://programming.dev/post/19211993

I’m all in for new takes that start with a clean slate, if that’s what happens in the near future (e.g. redox-os grows bigger than gnu/ linux *), yet it saddens me that there’s personal health costs on these developers that just wanted to contribute.

* after all, the year of the gnu/ linux desktop has already been past :P

OpenCamera is good, but could do better. But I’d say video editing is the biggest void.

Also, gesture typing keyboards are an empty niche of foss alternatives. HelioBoard requires loading some proprietary blob unfortunately.

I guess the most heavy machine learning use cases are not filled in.

Just yesterday I deployed it locally, and was about to migrate from my keepasDX (+syncthing)…

It’s been always the same. Backend, server logic, database… dynamic content; on one hand. JavaScript runs on the browser for almost anything, sometimes for dynamic content. But it’s not tied. You could have an in-browser button with a counter for the numbers of times it was pressed (that’s actually an entry-level programmer exercise) and that’s a static site. If you saved the counter value to the server (e.g. database) then it’s not static anymore.

Or euros

A weather app with no control of city, plus currency rate and TLD. I don’t see any value in this. But a nice design, sure.

That’s also more on to who the user is (how they interact with the device.) IMHO it’s valuable to at least get to search the internet with an error message. I switched over a decade ago, but on Windows all I had was hexadecimal codes or vague messages. I was a power user, fiddling with all sorts of software, and things did break on either side. I stayed where I could learn, a steep curve, sure. But not a wall.

How about adding something like hCAPTCHA ? OR librecaptcha, mCaptcha, altcha, …

Just to put some, apparently unconsidered, idea on the table… I’m quite happy with my zfs raid array of 6 hdd, a “workstation” type of motherboard, and loads of ram (2x64). I didn’t use the latest hardware trends, DDR 4 actually with 8-cores Xeon CPU. And added a GPU so gaming is covered. Prices where at your range. Here I hope to hoard loads of multimedia (holidays videos, etc.)

I wonder if Jellyfin can find metadata like it does with movies. Perhaps via a plugin?. Apart from that, all functionality (e.g. streaming) works with music just like it does with videos and that’s great!

How would the DDG implementation be less than a privacy concern? It’s just adding a middle layer. It may only lump queries together in a larger pool of seemingly undistinguishable users. Am I missing anything else?

I’m still struggling to find the info here. I love those comments that clarify click bait or obscure titles so that I don’t need to click. Anyway, in this case I just assume it’s about Rubik’s and I don’t care about this. But kudos on building a stopwatch, I guess :P

iirc the syncthing Android app comes with DCIM camera preconfigured just like that.

Yes. I believe all self-hosting apps are like that. As an example, I have a docker container running Searxng and I use it locally on my PC as default search engine. Just keep in mind that docker compose port mapping (e.g. “3000:80”) attaches to all available IPs unless you specify it like “127.0.0.1:3000:80”.

Not offline but self-hosting available , there’s LinguaCafe it’s like book reading web app with tons of niceties. I am yet to try it for myself.

I’m using mxlinux “ahs” version, it comes with kde at their “ahs” repos for supporting latest hardware and graphics cards. You may also check for the non-ahs, there might be a meta-package for kde plasma and that’s it…

Great idea!!!

Maybe you find it. But do keep in mind that FOSS projects tend to be smaller than commercial privacy nightmares. So, if you could live with the functionality being split across apps, it will be more feasible. It’s also easier to maintain smaller apps, so there’s many benefits overall…!
