Valid complaints. I can see the first and last issue being addressed at some point, not sure what they could do about storage space.

They’re actually very bad.

Care to elaborate? They seem to be working great for myself and family.

fair lmfao. i’m intentionally here in attempts to out-populate the crazy

not all of us are crazy 😭

It allows Linux developers to package their app once and it will install across more than 40+ Linux distros without any additional effort: https://flathub.org/setup

when did you last try it and what clients? I’ve got friends/family accessing my library and I see them playing back stuff constantly and never seen or heard of any issues. This is across web, AndroidTV, Chromecast, Roku and mobile devices.

Check out Proton Pass. I migrated my Bitwarden to it and its not just fast compared to Bitwarden but the UX is really nice. That said, I’m still sticking with Bitwarden, but will happily move away and give my money to Proton if they ever actually stop making their client open source.

Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

I can’t take that seriously

Proton pass client doesn’t currently use a proprietary SDK, but they also haven’t made the same blunder as Bitwarden, which they’ve since fixed, but still not a good look.

On another note - I did export/import all my passwords into proton pass and WOW the speed and UX feels so much better. I’m still sticking with Bitwarden as they’ve been really good so far, but there’s a real good alternative should they ever “turn evil”.

Same here. I have to trust/use an extension and third party desktop application (Progressive Web Apps for Firefox) to get this feature to work and not have to rely on Chrome/Edge/etc.

I can easily see less patient or understanding users dropping Firefox if they find out it doesn’t work with Progressive Web Apps.

Looks like I might be moving to Proton Pass after all! I’ll give them some time to see what they do about this, but will happily give my money to someone else and migrate friends/family as well.

Here’s what Google’s Gemini had to say about it when I asked:

This is written in l33tsp34k (leetspeak), an internet language that replaces letters with similar-looking numbers and symbols.

Here’s what it says when translated:

“What do you all think about leetspeak? I haven’t busted it out since middle school, but maybe there’s potential here.”

Would really suck if people said “fuck it”, did return to work but intentionally decreased productivity. Best to get laid off than quit.

Just tried it on my Linux laptop (Debian 12 and also installed via flatpak) and it’s also working. Both Linux & Windows versions of Jellyfin Media Player are version 1.11.1.

Do you have a firewall enabled on either of those Linux devices? Could they be blocking any required in/outgoing ports that need to be open?

I would refer to this document and ensure these ports are not being blocked: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/ - although this may be unrelated if the android <-> Jellyfin Media Player are using other means to communicate.

Personally I think its great to have online discussions/questions available on a forum (like lemmy) that are federated and accessible anonymously as it allows answers or discussions to be created and available for others to search and find in the future. There’s a lot of content that I find where answers or discussions were posted on reddit, but I can’t access it if I’m trying to reach it anonymously (bad for privacy).

I would encourage these kind of posts as:

1. They generate content for lemmy/the fediverse.
2. The new content brings in more people, perspectives, and collaborations.
3. People seeing active discussions on this site will inspire others to post more and help bring in other perspectives.
4. Understanding the “Ten thousand” XKCD ^(xkcd.com) perspective lets you realize that people are learning all the time and that trying to get feedback in a forum is not a bad thing regardless of how many other options there are.

Didn’t even know it was possible, but I was able to connect to and control my local Jellyfin Media Player from my Android Jellyfin client. So to answer your question, its at least still working for one other person.

Posted this previously:

yes. use any of the following, in no particular order:

• ecosia.org - A non-profit certified B corp that plants trees by serving ads in your search results. Bing search underneath.
• duckduckgo.com - A privacy friendly search engine. Primarily sourced from Bing but mixes in a few other sources.
• any SearXNG instance - A self-hostable search front-end to various search engines.
• marginalia.nu - specifically ‘random’ - An independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren’t aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.

Oh, hey! Wasn’t even a problem for me.

Notesnook.

I was previously using Obsidian, which is great! but didn’t like that it was closed source. I then went on to try various options [0] but none of them felt “right”. I eventually found notesnook and it hit everything I was looking for [1]. It’s only gotten better in the last year I started using it and just recently they introduced the ability to host your own sync server, which is one of the requirements it didn’t initially make, but was on their roadmap.

[0] Obsidian, Standard Notes, OneDrive, VSCode with addons, Joplin, Google Keep, Simple Notes, Crypt.ee, CryptPad (more of a collabroation suite, which I actually really like, but it did not fit the bill of a notes app), vim with addons, Logseq, Zettlr, etc.

[1] Requirements in no particular order:

• Open source client and server.
• Cross-platform availability as I use Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android.
• Cross-platform feature parity.
• Doesn’t fight me over how notes should be taken - looking at Logseq’s lack of organization.
• Easy notes syncing.
• End-to-end encryption (E2EE). It’s about to be 2025, if the tools you’re picking up aren’t E2EE, you’re letting unknown strangers access your data and resell it. It doesn’t matter what their privacy policy says as that can always change and/or they can get compromised/compelled to expose your data.
• Ability to publish notes.
• Decent UX.

I also tried logseq and couldn’t really stick with it. Tried a few others like obsidian, joplin, Zettlr, Simplenote, even just vim and vscode with various plugins, but they all had their own drawbacks I couldn’t get over, like a lack of built-in cross-platform support, syncing, encryption, not being open source, etc.

I eventually found Notesnook which strikes a good balance for my needs: open source, end-to-end encrypted, easy to use, decent UI, doesn’t mangle code/formatting when copy/pasting, feature parity across platforms; I use MacOS, Windows, Linux and Android and they all have clients that have feature parity - even the web client is really good!

The only thing I would say it’s currently missing is to release the source code for the server, but that’s on their roadmap and actively worked on. It was this commitment to openness that lead me to try it and after some brief time start paying for it.
