We already have Waydroid for “natively” launching Android apps on Linux phones, and it sounds like maybe this is based on that? Or at least it mentions getting something from that, but maybe it’s just techniques and no code?

Either way, more openness is better, and I can’t imagine it’ll make things worse!

I thought that heatsink and fan was a spindle of CDs! I thought that was an interesting place to store them I hadn’t seen before…

In the link you posted to the original question, it has a section on self hosting. That link takes you here where they say there are two servers.

Ah, the Relay Server is only half of the service! If I understand correctly from the documentation I skimmed, and my existing knowledge of streaming systems, the relay server is just there to handle relaying the video stream from one device to another one in the worst-case-scenario that they can’t reach each other to form a direct client-to-client connection.

So probably your relay server has never been used.

But that’s just for media, and just for bad network configurations. The actual part that coordinates who can see which devices, etc, and sets up the media connections, is the other server, which it sounds like you’re not running. So your services are currently still using the public server to find each other and initiate contact!

I don’t know, I haven’t hosted RustDesk myself, but it sounds like maybe you’re not actually using your self-hosted server for your clients? Because that message sounds like it’s entirely about “The Public Server” which is not your server. Right?

For me Jellyfin’s strength is that it can keep track of my wife’s place in her shows independent from mine, and also that the metadata and watched state and progress is synced between phone, tablet, and TV.

Someone could format it into essentially static pages and publish it on IPFS. That would probably be the easiest “decentralized hosting” method that remains browsable
