Thank you for the compilation, I'll take a look at these.
Any recommendations for a good non-subscription-based alternative? I could setup syncthing for files, and I have URbackup for images, but I always relied on Macrium more than URbackup. What do other people use?

>Many of our home customers' feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks. Lastly, our annual plan ensures you always have access to technical support (one-time licenses only offer 12 months of support).
My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it's been radio silence for months.
That's fair. I'm making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it... or not, which in that case they won't go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that's if they really enjoy it. I don't think it's uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and "force" them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn't hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.
Most of my friends are in tech, and I think one of them would enjoy hosting their own services if they got into it. Currently, I do most of our hosting, from media servers to game servers, but I think the hardest part is to give people an enticement to host.
For example, maybe they saw the lights automatically come on through the use of home automation like Home Assistant or maybe they wanted to control their own music library.
I think the idea of managing your own hardware and services doesn't become enjoyable until you've already seen the outcome, such as having a resource or service available to you that you didn't before. When I first got into selfhosting, I also had the problem with identifying what I wanted to host.
How do/did you get your friends interested in selfhosting? What services did they look into hosting themselves?
I'm not going to force someone into a hobby they aren't interested in, I'm just curious how people brought the conversation up.
Thanks.
Would you be willing to explain what a typed dictionary is and when it would be useful in the context of Godot?
For those that want an RTS game that doesn't require a high APM, I'd recommend Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (FAF) and the Sins of a Solar Empire Games (which requires an even lower APM).
I know there are different use cases for each, but generally do people prefer self hosted nextcloud, proton docs, or libre office?
No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there's a song I don't have and I'm driving. I was looking at music fab, but it's expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn't grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.
I do this with anime. Japanese + English dub.
Are you still needing help with this? You need to make a custom format, set it to required, and require a minimum format score so you only grab what passes your requirements.
I use the former. How does it compare to the other two?
Are they on Deezer? If so, look into deemix-gui.
Haven't tested it, but I'm hoping Kodi works well. I'm waiting on my Vero V to arrive, which comes with OSMC (FOSS linux distro made to run Kodi).
I'm not too familiar with roon. As for proper metadata, I've not had any problems with MusicBrainz's metadata grabber. It's a built-in plugin that comes with Jellyfin. Deemix uses your deezer account, which I believe requires the paid version if you want lossless flac files, and I have it configured to place the files in my Media share, which Jellyfin reads from. Symfonium is the android client I use that works with selfhosted media servers.
Deezer (paid for flac - lossless files) + Deemix-gui + Jellyfin + Symfonium works quite well. Though you need to have a media server, so not exactly a drop-in replacement.
I have no issues with Jellyfin + Symfonium, but I also cache my songs offline. I almost never play a track that hasn't been downloaded.
I just ran into this today. I think it's only really useful for "Unknown Series". If you grab it without first identifying it, the release will show up as one episode under the queue, and only the episode you "interactively searched" for will be imported. Whereas if you identified everything prior, it will be show up correctly and all the episodes you selected will be imported. Other than that, I think you're right, I find myself identifying releases when something does line up after the download.
Before you spend too much time on that, you can create an issue on the Github page. Seems fairly active. Might get a better response there.
Ah, okay. Yes, I got the same results as you, even if you do it the opposite way, add a movie through Radarr, and it will replace the other movie and wipe the other data.
Through my testing, it does seem to only wipe it if Radarr thinks there's a movie there already. I don't think this solves your problem, but if you empty the movie folder, scan and refresh radarr, then add the data back, it gets picked up. It only wipes the data when it is replacing it, which is probably intentional because different files might have different metadata? I'm not sure.
It might be possible with a custom script.
Before that, take a look at the "Import Extra Files" option under Settings -> Media Management.
Voice channels similar to discord and Teamspeak, where you don't need to "call" the people you want to talk to, you just join the channel. Is this a feature in Matrix?
Thanks.
As r/selfhosted seems to have shutdown due to the reddit api changes (rip), I wanted to see if anyone has worked with these services before?
How do they compare to Discord and how hard is it to maintain, as the setup looks pretty in depth for matrix and synapse. How did you convince your user base to use it over Discord.
I've hosted TS3 for about 8 years and are looking for alternatives, as we have to use Discord for screen sharing.
Thanks!
