I use ONN Android boxes. Fairly inexpensive, but I think it’s difficult to set up without a Google account (you can create a dummy account on the setup).
Side-loading is trivial. Some favorite apps: TizenTube to replace YouTube (or any of a dozen or so frontends), Projectivy launcher to replace the awful default. Add an always on VPN.
I agree but how does RCS actually work? My understanding is that it is particularly difficult to implement.
Open-source is a stretch. Open weights are more like blobs. They run and can be used openly, but it’s not as though you can build it yourself. No way to know how it was trained or if the training was manipulated by various interests.
Oh, that’s good to know!
I’ve been very happy with my JBL 130. Nothing fancy, but good sound, excellent noise canceling for the price. For me few earbuds are comfortable but these fit well for me.
Nice! FYI, Logitech mice have a known defect in the switches that results in double-registering clicks. It’s super annoying, they know about it, they have said they don’t plan to fix it.
Hopefully, cleaning does the trick, but in case it doesn’t it is not your fault.
Pleasantville looks like a cheap gag in the preview, but honestly one of my favorite movies.
Butterfly map? No? Don’t care.
Tell me more about how a wealth tax will cause American divestment.
Comedy horror is still horror.🤷
This was always the plan
Yes? OP is specifically looking for something other than NextCloud. OwnCloud has basically zero bloat and in my experience is easier to set up than NextCloud.
I had a similar experience when I tried it a few years back
Crimes, banking, stuff like that.
Not a picture of a fruit bowl, also not a picture of a Bitcoin.
Ah, yes. Anti-capitalist software like Yandex and Baidu are so much better…
What the world needs are federated, distributed systems like www, email, and the fediverse
I use OwnCloud, which was forked into NextCloud ages ago. I originally intended it as a temporary measure, but it has turned out to be a very reliable, no-frills but adequately featured fileserver. For example, it has file versioning, and companion apps on major OSs that help with managing local and cloud stored files.
If you want a dead simple option, CopyParty is amazing. It’s a 1MB Python file that is basically a Swiss Army knife of file hosting. FTP, web interface, WebDAV, SMB, etc., etc. It wont have system integrations or file versioning, but it’s impressive what it can do.
Edit: worth mentioning CopyParty has an in-browser media player, which is perfectly adequate for previews.
Jellyfin for shows and movies, Chora for Navidrome Music, and it works as a perfect little access to your homeserver.
I haven’t found an Android box that runs without Google services.
Kodi on a Pi is just meh at best imo.
