I think for the purpose of 99% if the self hosters, which is an instance for maybe a of a couple of hundred of users, this doesnt matter at all:

If that’s what you are using it for, I would suggest looking into Matrix / Element. Just as easy, completely open source and self hostable. Wide variety of client choices for every OS.

I am not a fan of telegram, but the clients and the protocol are open source.

Never heard of it, sounds good. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, since I am not interested in “Creators” but Content. But I guess a lot of people are curating their media by personality and not content subject.

So, the government job does not pay well enough so you can pay for Netflix & Disney+ or why do you want to host our own movie streaming?

To watch stuff without ads and tracking, but still streaming, you can use clipious or newpipe on Android and android tv. If you want to replace the entire YouTube GUI with an ad free selfhosted one, check out

I just installed JupyterLab and ventured into the world of data visualization in Python, letting ChatGPT do the dirty work.

I love that it not only corrects the grammar and spelling it can fix your indentation errors in toml and yaml (or python) as well and give you an individual lesson on what you did wrong and why (if you want that.)

  Fuck it all

Why not just let ChatGPT handle it don’t give a damn :)

There is a instagram to pixelfed crossposting bot. Didn’t look into the details though who needs to create the API key on IG…

Sorry to chime in on the negative comments but it’s not a good deal. 17x7 Watt = ~120 Watt, that’s around what my entire home setup uses, including storage.

There is the middle ground of retrieving your mail from a mail Provider and serving it from a self hosted IMAP. That way you don’t handle in- outgoing smtp but handle it locally.

So, open a terminal and check if the device is there on your system?

Read some articles about the resource overhead of VM’s, or even better Container which use a shared kernel: it’s minimal and mainly effects ram. So if the decision is to put 16gb more into the machine to have a clean seperation of services: I think that’s a no brainer.

I do agree with you that complete seperation through VM’s is usually overkill, a docker container is enough to isolate config / system requirements etc.

Onlyoffice has a standalone version if you want to use it without Nextcloud.

I don’t.

I have the same issue with my xiaomi 12x, before with a OnePlus 5t, but I gave up on it. It’s not a Google Pixel issue but in my observation a Google Chrome Issue. Firefox on the phone uses the DNS that DHCP defined for the devices, chrome ignores them and uses googles DNS. I don’t know if that’s “on purpose” or a bug, I find it pretty annoying - but what can you do…

Whenever I need to access a locally defined URI, like “netdata.home” I open it on Firefox.

… but why don’t you just use vidious and clipious as a client? They even have an Android tv Client. Is there anything that “Viewtube” does better?

No, pihole won’t help you there because what you want is nothing a DNS can do, you need a proxy server to handle that. How this works depends on the proxy server you are going to use.
