I’ve been using a htpc for TV content for years, and I’ve finally given up and just gonna pirate all my shit now. The hoops I’ve had to jump through to get 1080p on Linux, and Netflix/prime video working on my rooted lineageos phone has pissed me off too much. Researching all the *arr software packages and which sources to get content from, this weekend.
Ahh, itsfoss.com. they had some article on “being a supercharged Joplin user” or some nonsense and suggestion 3 or 4 was “Create a notebook”… Really being a power user when you’re utilizing the most basic functionality the app was created for…
I think you’re right, I’ve since moved on to Linux for my OS, but never had a reason to use WebDAV, so haven’t had the chance to test it with Linux WebDAV clients
A looong time ago, I tried using WebDAV for internal network use and I feel like there was an issue with it I didn’t like and stopped using it and instead went with smb. The issue miiight have been that if I was copying a file to a WebDAV server it didn’t give you a file copy progress? Can’t fully remember. Either way, does WebDAV give you a file copy progress now?
+1 for Syncthing, I use it a lot. However anyone have any methods of 1-way sync? I’d like to backup camera photos from my phone with it but not have a 2-way sync so I can delete the pictures off my phone, and not have it deleted on my server. At one point I found a discussion with the developers about this exact use case and if I remember right, they were kind or in the camp of ‘that use case extends beyond what we envision for the app and would introduce more complexities, so we’re not a big fan of introducing that feature.’
On android (though I wish I was using a true gnu/Linux phone…) I open Neo store every once in a while and peruse the explore tab, sorting by most recently updated. Neo store is a better f-droid client (a source for open source android apps)
For desktop Linux, i guess you could do the same, (though for some reason i haven’t) and peruse the free sofyware marketplace that comes with your linux distro. I also used to google articles about top 10 new open source apps for ubuntu 2023, or similar google searches. I also used to read a bunch of Linux, open source, and linux hardware related sub-reddits that I’ve been slowly trying to replace with Lemmy communities, right now I subscribe to:
C/f-droid
C/hardware
C/homelab
C/Linux
C/linuxhardware
C/opensource
If anyone has anymore I should subscribe to, suggest away!
I also browse YouTube which in the past has suggested videos of people reviewing new open source apps or software. Though those video suggestions have gotten worse as YouTube’s algorithms have gotten worse in the last few years.
Also in the past I’d peruse alternativeto.net to see if there’s anything better in the open source world for proprietary software, or even alternatives to existing open source software I use.
Its weird that its not consistently needed though, for the workspace and modifying existing gaps in real time, it looks like the postfix ‘px’ isn’t needed.
