Forks of Signal exist that remove the Google Play services build requirement, those are in F-Droid.

Like Molly. I use it and it’s great. I’m using the FOSS version.

You can even selfhost the push server.

Aegis.

I like the auto backup feature (encrypted) . Then the backup is synced to computer via Syncthing.

Set and forget setup.

Politically correct of course.

But from my own experience using Watchtower for over 7 years is that I can count on one hand when it actually broke something. Most of the time it was database related.

But you can put apps on the watchtower ignore list (looking a you Immich!), which clear that out fairly quick.

Translate? You know that a CPU sits idle most of the time right?

What kind of potato are you running? Also, how many hundred services do you run on it anyway, complaining about 200mb. You better off running docker on baremetal, if you are that worried.

Do you know how much RAM Windows 11 uses on idle?

WTF

as VMs have a huge overhead by comparison.

Not at all. The benefits outweighs the slight increased RAM usage by a huge margin.

I have Urbackup running in a dietpi VM. I have it set for 256mb of RAM. That includes the OS and the Urbackup service. It works perfectly fine.

I have an alpine VM that runs 32 docker containers using about 3.5GB of RAM. I wouldn’t call that bloat by any means.

I’m running Urbackup in a Dietpi VM, with 256Mb RAM. Works fine.

Urbackup server is running about 70Mb RAM idle.

I could probably go down to 128Mb for the whole VM, but that’s is pointless and it might start to struggle during a backup session.

LMS is also pretty damn light as well. Uses about 19 MB of RAM on my system on idle.

Lightweight Music Server

I used to use Airsonic. Suporte auto downloads of podcast episodes.

It worked for me as I mostly listens to music and 1 or 2 podcasts once and a while. Not listened to podcast for a while so might use just Antenna Pod.

I have also moved on from Airsonic to LMS (Lightweight Music Server) and use Ultrasonic on mobile.

How did the FBI have access to the computers to delete the malware in the first place?

Commercial flights really should stay away from war zones.

Should be a mandatory safety law.

Yeah, combines with beaverhabits, for all around fun action.

No, mostly because Google Search is just terrible. The app itself is great.

At least with Searx you can search multiple private search engines (your preference) at once. You can also selfhost it.

Hahaha what a generic thing to say!

Hmmm. That could be what’s slowing down the GPS locking on my old android phone I use for my fitness app.

No SIM card or WiFi access. Takes a good 20 min just to get a GPS lock.

That means it fucks up my distance monitoring and time intervals, if I don’t have patience to wait, which I honesty don’t!

The app is basically a fancy timer at this point.

;)

“Old age” disks!

Hahaha. That’s hilarious.

Just like society labeling.

Yes I’m sure.

Not really searching for 'em though. :)

Even Picard gets some metadata wrong on auto. Don’t trust it blindly.

Be careful and only do changes manually.

Key features:

• Schedule for nine social media platforms (Threads, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Dribbble, YouTube, Instagram.)

• Fundamental analytics for almost all social media platforms.

• AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

Sorry to budge in like this, but I don’t use any of these garbage social platforms, at all. Copilot is also strongly against my belief of the right to online privacy.

The reason why I started to selfhost and use opensource apps/OS, was to get away from all this nonsense.

Lemmy is the only platform I use, used to be on reddit, because the main purpose is to help or to get help/advise on issues. Like the old forums.

I’m a firm believer that social platforms are destroying generations with its toxic/competitive environments.

Rant over.

Shower me with downvotes if you believe I’m wrong.

Personally I use gonic with the Subsonic API, and Ultrasonic on Android.

Gonic is a super lightweight subsonic API server with a very basic static stats “dashboard”. As so, it’s great for lower end devices. Only problem is that it sometimes fails to pick up the album art is some cases, if that don’t disturb you, then it’s great.

Airsonic (abandonedware) is the best subsonic server in my option. It displays all album arts correctly and is folder based which works much better than Navidrome’s Id tag reader, which is a dumpster fire.

Airsonic is on the heavier side on ram usage, around 1GB. Can probably run just fine on 500mb. Probably around what Jellyfin uses.

Ultrasonic is a great android app. It is just not updated for quite some time now.

I’m also running Jellyfin and I’ll experiment with Finamp. Let’s see if it takes the number one spot from Ultrasonic :)

Edit: Ultrasonic’s strong point is also the caching of music for offline listening. Not sure if Finamp has the capability.

Edit2: Yes, it can cache music.
