Yeah, really don’t get this one. As an example, I’ve been supporting the guy who writes most of the software I use via Github sponsors for a while, now. It’s nice to get access to additional support chat rooms and perks and stuff, but just the feeling alone is satisfying enough.

I genuinely recommend those with gainful employment to consider supporting the people who make the software and media you like (E.g. Patreon).

Issue reports and the likes are nice, but they’re really not a substitute for cash (in my opinion).

Yep, check out yabai.

I’m annoyed to see you getting down voted - I had a similar issue years ago with my work MacBook (couldn’t run a custom WM because any modification to the Finder was blocked without putting the machine into “unsafe” mode).

I love OSS, but without a verifiable way to distribute it large swaths of the workforce won’t be able to use it.

F-Droid is great, but sadly it isn’t enough.

Yeah, I recently bought the GL-MT6000 and it’s been great.

You: [ copy pastes link ]

Others: Hey, can you also tell us what that link points towards?

You: wHaT iS tHiS, a BoLsHeViK LaBoR CaMp?

You know what you sounded like.

It’s a small text addition for context, not a big ask. Most of these upgrade posts in this community have people asking the same thing, so they can discover new software.

Ultimately, though, it’s your choice.

I use Navidrome myself, and I still think it would be nice for people to know a little bit about the software in an update announcement post.

Seems like a very reasonable request, I don’t grok the vitriol in your response.

Ooh, I’ll tell them to try it out - looks cool, cheers!

Conduit sounds very exciting - but my synapse installation (and its concomitant database) is too old and big for me to make a switch to anything else just yet.

But I’m hoping Dendrite will one day allow me to migrate over - I don’t like how one of my most mission critical programs is a Python program running out of a packaged venv. 😅

This is the correct answer, IMO.

I loved using XMPP back in the day, but I struggled talking with people who weren’t on the same server as me because of spec and client variations.

While Synapse is a resource hog, it (and Element) - to a certain degree - does the job. Can’t wait until sync v3 lands in the main server.

The only issue I have is with one friend who insists on deploying his own version of Synapse, but can’t figure out coturn and - as a result - we can’t voice chat properly.

Goddammit. Two steps forward, one step backward. 😅

I use Fantastical; pretty decent for an iOS App - if not a bit pricey.

Edit: As an important note, while I’ve used Fantastical for years, it’s really only for the Mac ecosystem so I’m looking to move away from it.

Nowadays Morgen is my Calendar app of choice, but its iOS app isn’t feature complete yep. It’s fantastic on desktop, though.

There are some great ones. Check out Tempo and Symfonium

Try Baikal, it’s a pretty lightweight CalDAV server!

Any client I use it with supports notifications, however it should also be able to send emails for you (e.g. Its scheduling feature).

What does this have to do with self hosting?

If you want to be in control of the server and bridges yourself, yes - you’d have to do that.

If not, you can just use a service like beeper

Yes, but you can use the federated app and bridge whatsapp into it. It’s a good solution :)
