- Comment on Booklore Alternatives/Forks? 1 week ago:
For anyone who is not familiar already:
Calibre is a desktop application that has some file hosting/syncing features.
Calibre-Web is a server software that uses the Calibre library files, but can operate independently after setup.
Calibre Web Automated is a server software based on Calibre-Web with an overhauled UI and many additional features including automated ingest, OIDC, KOsync, file conversion and fixing, and more.

I don’t personally use it so I don’t know if it depends on davx5, but you can add a CalDAV calendar directly in Etar settings.
I think I was actually thinking of KashCal, which works without DAVx5 by design
- Comment on Does anyone use Colota? 1 week ago:
Okay, I found it. I was looking in the wrong place and going in circles instead of clicking through the documentation one screen at a time. How embarrassing!
You are 100% right that it is spelled out very clearly. Thank you for the patience.
- Comment on Does anyone use Colota? 1 week ago:
Thanks for looking into it. What URL did you enter in the server endpoint? Is it just the HA domain? Or is it another link that I have to get from HA? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I genuinely don’t know.
- Comment on What are your favorite low-footprint self-hosted services? 1 week ago:
Possibly underrated: CopyParty. Its an entire fileserver in a little over 1 MB. You can host it on anything that runs python and the client can be anything with a browser. It’s unbelievably simple and efficient. If I knew self hosting was this easy I would have started sooner.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
For an unbelievably simple WebDAV server, you may want to look into copyparty.
It depends on your needs, as it is not as full featured as some options out there, but it’s one Python file that you can just download and open. Boom. Fileserver.

Same. It’s pretty much my best behaved container.

- Comment on Finally a good self-hosted calendar frontend 2 weeks ago:
I’ve also had pretty good testing with One Calendar, but in general I prefer open source apps unless the proprietary app offers unique benefits.
- Comment on Finally a good self-hosted calendar frontend 2 weeks ago:
I do wish they would spin off the Calendar into a standalone app, but they haven’t shown any interest in moving that direction. I use it for email anyway so I don’t mind.
- Comment on Booklore is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Shame, it was a great project. Guess I’ll be migrating to calibre-web automated.

Looks promising. Thunderbird works great for me for now. There are increasingly good solutions for mobile as well.

- Comment on PeerTube v8.1 is out! 3 weeks ago:
That’s been a problem with the platform for a couple years. It goes something like this: Video hosting is expensive, and moderating video is complicated. So most instances don’t allow open registration and posting.
When you have a video platform without anyone allowed to post videos… Well, it’s not gonna be good.
The only videos that could get posted were from people with an established audience on another platform like YouTube, or else someone passionate enough to run their own server (which requires lots of time, money, and technical know-how).
For a creator who already has an audience, there is absolutely no incentive to jump to federation. It’s more effort for a smaller audience on a less reliable platform. So of course it’s all Veronica explains Linux because that is the only kind of creator who would have an ideological interest of doing it despite the disincentives.
Or else it’s not a knowledgeable and capable creator, but someone with just a lot of time, money, and passion. Do you read a lot of self-published books? Not too many Pulitzers in there. There is a reason you can count on one hand the number of self produced films that are actually good.
Creativity requires openness and freedom. Peertube has been (ironically) one of the most closed video platforms on the internet. For new creators, it’s been impossible to get on and just experiment. That means no innovation, which translates to no good content.
From a cursory look, that seems to be changing. There are now a few instances like that appear to be stable and have open, moderated registration. If that continues, we will begin to see more variety of quality content.

I gotta admit, PeerTube is really beginning to stabilize into a platform I’d consider using. Imma have to take another look when I have to time.

- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 4 weeks ago:
This kinda seems like a roundabout way of avoiding government /corporate age verification laws? Like it doesn’t require ID verification or biometrics and runs a local api to verify age.
Can someone smarter than me please explain if this is a good thing or not?

- Comment on Realistcly how much can be cleaned out of a house, as a child of a hourder? 5 weeks ago:
If possible, work with a therapist for this kind of support.
You can rent a roll off dumpster from your local waste management company, and remove a lot in a matter of days. But if you are living with a hoarder, then the mess will just accumulate to fill the space you clear out in a couple months.
This is not a logistical problem, but a behavioral one.
- Comment on Do smoke detectors have little speakers inside them? If yes, would it be possible to hack them to play a little jingle? 5 weeks ago:
Usually it’s not exactly a speaker, but it does involve a controlled moving diaphragm. In a piezoelectric buzzer, a current applied to the diaphragm causes it to oscillate, and the size and shape of the diaphragm determines the tone AFAIK.
It may be theoretically possible to engineer such a device into a rudimentary speaker. I mean, people have done it with Tesla coils and player pianos, so hey, anything is possible?
- Comment on LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in 5 weeks ago:
To me, this would be like if VLC made an angry post about the evils of MP3 instead of just making a great player that can handle it (which they have). People still use VLC because we know that it will handle anything. Plus, they’ve kept the interface simple and intuitive, with most needed functions front and center, with lots of specialized features in menus and settings.
LibreOffice is losing ground because they don’t take design seriously and instead of making interoperability a priority, they would rather complain about user preferences.
