K-9 is probably an Android only client? They’d have to either find an open source iOS app to build on, or build a new one from scratch.

Thunderbird is finally out of beta so you can get it through the play store or F-Droid. K-9 itself was also updated so it’s now basically a K-9 branded version of Thunderbird.

Isn’t this part of the auto configuration stuff? Basically there’s a standard where you can add some DNS records to your domain and/or a standard file on your website so e-mail clients can automatically prepopulate all the email settings so you only need to worry about entering your email and password.

I’m pretty sure it’s an issue on F-Droid’s end, as it’s always a few days behind for all my other apps that get released on the play store as well. IIRC they have a release process that involves them compiling the packages that takes a while to run.

The post says they’re working on releasing to F-Droid.

Looks like it’s also a variant of Synergy, so I guess it’s just the same. There’s a lot of different forks of it, I’m not sure which one is the ‘best’ these days.

Maybe to connect to their update servers and validate updated binaries or something like that? Not sure if it supported calling home to get updates.

I mean, it’s the smart thing to do (even from a purely selfish perspective where you want to make sure the project continues to go into the development direction that keeps making you money), but it’s not something that’s actionable in court or anything like that.

There’s no expectation to contribute back when you use FOSS software, that makes no sense. I’m running Linux on like 10 devices and I’ve never merged anything in the kernel.

And now job boards are full of ads for ‘salesforce developers’ that pay ridiculous amounts because nobody really wants to work on salesforce.

If needed you could use a subdomain from a free dyndns provider. And if you’re going to be self hosting stuff having your own domain is probably good anyway.

You don’t have time to be depressed when you’re trying to fix xorg.conf. (yeah, I know, super dated reference, Linux is actually so good these days I can’t find an equivalent joke).

Yeah, I’ve used Nextcloud for this in the past too, but it looks like there’s a ton of other options as well judging by this thread.

Generally people make a huge issue out of something like that (some will even call it spyware, etc).

I think the best approach is to ask the actual community of users what they’re ok with before you start. You probably want to make sure it’s opt-in as opposed to opt-out, and be very clear about what information you do and don’t collect, and make sure it’s stored securely.

Don’t worry, Bari Weiss will come to his defense any time now.

The man is eccentric to say the least.

RMS uses email to fetch websites instead of using a browser, you could easily do the same with XMPP.

Second that, I’m hosting my catch-all through Migadu. They support it on their cheapest tier, and it works with no issue.

Hmm, might give it a shot then. Emby seems more polished than Kodi was, which was the main reason I picked it. Does jellyfin have any of the features Emby premiere offers (GPU transcoding and a Google TV app?).

How does jellyfin compare to Kodi and Emby? I’ve been using Emby for the last couple of years and it’s fine, but I wonder if I’m missing out on any features.
