Jellyfin has Watch Groups that my (tech-challenged) family uses regularly without my help.
I just added IPTV to my setup, so I haven’t tested if they work together. I can’t see why they wouldn’t. Worse case, have then tune into the same channel as you, it should sync up almost perfectly on its own.
I have an off-grid Linux box that hosts a local Wi-Fi network and some communication and entertainment apps. I want to host a chat service for asynchronous off-grid comms. Briar looked like the perfect option if I could just add the mail-box to my Linux box.
Simplex looks like it might do something similar, but it doesn’t look like it does comms over direct Bluetooth.
I just checked and you’re right! I looked into Briar a while ago and ignored it because I couldn’t run the Briar-Mailbox program on Linux.
I thought it was something like that. What I really want to see is an open-source version of Briar.
Signal is great, but it was unclear if I would be able to self-host my own Signal server if I wanted to support the public network and provide redundancy to my local LAN and connected networks.
Every time I look at Matrix it looks really cool and sounds great. But each time I try to setup a client or actually use it, nothing works, apps crash, and I can’t actually use the dang thing. I tried setting up my own server, even tried using a public server with the Element web-app and still nothing worked, couldn’t join rooms, etc.
Love the idea, haven’t seen a decent implementation yet. Honestly kinda wish there was PGP for sms or something like that. I couldn’t care less if the transport is insecure, as long as I can trust that only the intended recipient and myself can read/modify my messages.
Thank you, I didn’t see that thread.
I assumed you’d have to interface with Google to get messages to/from other RCS users using their app, but does that not happen via a bridge-server?
Is there any reason these browsers would be more functional than regular Firefox with Sideberry or the Tree Style Tabs extensions?
I use Sideberry at work and at home. Between the containers, folder sorting, tab sleeping, and snapshots, I haven’t found another browser configuration that’s as flexible and functional.
Not to mention it works with any release or flavor of Firefox. So I don’t have to worry about weird issues with non-standard browsers.
*Bonus points if you take the 10 minutes to setup a stylesheet to hide the default horizontal tabs.
They have a platform and process for selling digital access to audiobooks and ebooks. Selling access to that type of content in an way that circumvents those DRM requirements is against their Terms of Service.
Yeah, you’ll need to spin up a Jellyfin server. It’s really easy in docker though, and it shouldn’t need a machine too powerful. I’ve heard of people running it on an rPi4 or old laptops.
