As others have said, invidious is not dead, and they’re working on factoring out the part that interfaces with YouTube itself, so that updates to react to changes in YouTube will be able to be implemented much faster.

If you like ansible, MASH works pretty well.

Haha thanks. It’s definitely a lot. It’s really sad that this kind of thing is what is necessary for smooth interoperability.

I do own one and I love it, but I have similar complaints about the heart rate monitor. I just don’t use it enough to have it matter. sleep tracking works pretty okay, though.

the Bangle.js 2 has all of those features and works with gadgetbridge like the pinetime

I was very much looking forward to this, and it works great. My instance is back up and running again.

I use FreshRSS, Read You on Android, and NewsFlash on my PC. It all syncs via FreshRSS seamlessly.

really weird that they only included a discord link, but here is the repo: https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

Yeah, I need something to collaborate with my partner in realtime. We’ve got a hacky setup in Obsidian using dataview to join separate notes to a read-only one, so we don’t have collisions, but I would love something better.

As soon as one of these Obsidian alternatives has real-time collaboration and a mobile interface, I’m ready to switch.

Your best bet is to just avoid the need altogether. I use an nvidia shield with clipious, smarttube, and jellyfin. There is a qobuz app that is okay and a USB Media Player Pro that is pretty bad. I haven’t tried any apps for subsonic streaming.

I’d bet there is a tidal app, but I think tidal also integrates with Plex?

For when I want to “cast” a random video file, I use VLC on my PC and on my shield to stream to the TV, and it works well enough.

I haven’t found a good solution to have similar functionality as Google cast for other people to use, but none of my guests have ever been upset that it wasn’t available.

It does, but for the same reason as what happened to OP, it’s best to separate DNS from domain registrar.

Thanks. I don’t generally listen to audio books, so what I’m really looking for is a self-hosted solution for podcast syncing that works better than gpodder while keeping feature parity with AntennaPod on my phone. It sucks that ABS is so close to that but decided to not go the last 10% of the way. I’m sure they have a good reason.

When I played around with ABS over a year ago, they said there were no plans to add auto-downloading of podcast episodes to your phone or auto-queueing of new episodes, so I dropped it and haven’t tried it since. Is this still the case?

That’s definitely a nice solution, but I have not had good luck with free VPS providers keeping the lights on. It would likely cost money on the order of $5 to $10 per month, so it is a different class of solution.

Sounds good. Better free DNS option with API support?

Porkbun + cloudflare DNS + ddclient

My plan to handle this is to switch my VMs to NixOS, set up NixOS with impermanence using a btrfs or zfs volume that gets backed up and wiped at every startup with another that holds persistent data that also gets backed up, and just reboot once per day.

I’m currently learning how to do impermanence in all the different ways, so this is a long goal, but Nix config + backups should handle everything.
