Yes it’s hard to tell what they’re looking at, but I imagine the less info they can collect from your device the better?

I usually lookup ‘alternative frontends’ and then find a list like this on github type sites. They go out of date often

With the proxy websites, it’s more of an alternative frontend where you still need an account on the platform.

What might be happening is

• your device or IP address is flagged from your previous attempts
• they’ve connected it to your real name / shadow profile somehow

So if you really need to use it and there’s no alternative, you could do one of

• make the real account, ideally from a privacy friendly browser, and give the absolute minimum info you can. Name and email, no profile image, privacy settings to max

• make an account on a new device / wifi network, and have it be believable for the kind of person joining Facebook for the first time. I haven’t tried this myself but I’ve heard it mentioned before

Whether you made an account or not, you can keep an eye out for alternatives. Over here there are a few alternatives, and one of them (Karrot) has been growing in popularity

It might enshitify at some point, but it’s been nice so far

Some brainstorming from me:

• Ideally people do not buy more teslas
• An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
• Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car’s console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else?

Alternatively, what would a recycling/conversion program look like?

I should have specified, people we’re downvoting you

But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

I’ve heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

Also (to everyone else reading your comment) let’s not downvote good faith comments, especially when they’re phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that was a thing

Quoting from: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl

The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:

exclude_model="synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819"

Pretty sure the https://github.com/007revad/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn’t need to change anything else to get it to work.

If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly

Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device. There should be lots of guides out there for it.

Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also spin up DockGE/Portainer first and do it through that interface (or SSH into the NAS and do it all with the command line)

So the setup would be

• run Jellyfin as a Docker container on the Synology NAS (using either Container Manager or DockGE/Portainer/straight up command line)
• try it out with the web browser/desktop app/mobile apps to see if you like it
• find a setup that you find convenient for the TV (ex. Android TV apps with some device, the desktop app on the PC, etc)

EDIT: Looks like there are official guides for it, as well as lots of videos on YouTube: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology/

I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.

I haven’t used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I’ve seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about Plex moving more core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.

There are a lot of options for client side apps, official and unofficial, so you might be able to find something specific to your setup

I thought it might be in settings but I don’t see it. For me, I got an option for “just this one” vs “always” when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.

You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

The Fossify one is decent

The GoodKarmaToolkit in particular is an extra project that is managed by ArchiveBox, but the listed services aren’t made by them. I’m not as familiar with ArchiveBox itself, and it looks like there’s an open issue about AI stuff: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1139

There is another called Data Hoarder that does this job too.

Yup, Hoarder was the one I was planning to use for bookmark management: https://hoarder.app/
