Yes, obviously, I could Google this, but I’m looking for real peoples’ opinions. I’ve owned OnePlus and LG android phones previously to my current Samsung. I loved my OnePlus phones, but my current provider doesn’t support them.
Edit: LOL. I just realized you were suggesting Google as an android phone manufacturer.
What is the best Android phone manufacturer after we count out Samsung?
If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.
I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.
TikTok is correct. Ban them all.
If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I’ll take it, but I doubt it will be.
I see what you did there.
Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.
Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn’t think it did.
+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.
Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet
I have this problem for the new Doctor Who series before it split off from the old 2005 Doctor Who series and became its own thing. Jellyfin was tagging the new Doctor Who series the same as the old one.
When IMDB finally got its own entry for the new show I was able to successfully identify the new show appropriately.
Testify!
I always thought that the word “island” was just short for “isolated land” – There has to be some reason there’s an ‘s’ in there right?. But some etymologist told me it didn’t come to be in that manner.
v1.105.1 is already out. Apparently there was a critical bug in v1.105.0 to do with external libraries.
I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It’s called pine pods and it’s an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud’s version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.
I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.
My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.
I use it! It is miles better than other Jellyfin apps for music, but there are still things I wish it still had.
I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.
So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)
I currently use Jellyfin and Navidrome. JF just seems really awkward for music. It’s like it tries to treat music and video like the same kind of entities, and they just aren’t.
I really really want a better FOSS -compatible music app.
Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.
