is there anything interesting on i2p? (not sarcastic, genuinely questioning)

all i could find were things easier to get on the clearnet.

note that I don't care about cookies and Privacy badger is unnecessary when you have uBO. Also get Bypass Paywalls Clean though.

Easy APP backup? in c/[email protected]

Titanium Backup does this for me but it's ancient. I have heard of Swift Backup though.

i never heard someone using the term LiGNUx, is it some new way of saying GNU/Linux?

I liked this app, but it forced auto update without an option to disable so I switched back to Telegram FOSS.

I'm still using QuickPic but would appreciate something better. Simple/Fossify seems to have similar features but is slower on my phone.

at least one of the pair needs a open port. people with open ports can download from you, the ones with closed ports can't.

this is a fenix softfork named "Fennec F-Droid", not the pre-fenix firefox <=68 based fennec browser you're thinking of.

Trying to get advice for photo/files storing/syncing (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hi. Sorry for the vague title. Nowadays I'm using multiple computers and get to need files and such from other machines pretty often. My music and photos library has also increased and it's getting much harder to maintain with it being scattered across many machines. Basically I'm trying to have a photo library and plain files(documents, music, etc) shared across computers.

For plain files I'm thinking nfs+samba would be the best approach, but there are problems. They have speed issues, but as I can't afford large space for all my machines I can't keep a full rsync'd local copies everywhere too.

The photos are my bigger concern, as I'm looking for a tagging feature. A plain directory structure would be easy to sync but those tags would differ by programs.. desktop programs like digikam or xnview(sadly proprietary) would work well if I didn't need syncing, but I'm not sure if they'd work reliably with all their configs/files stored over nfs. Plus, these programs would have incompatibilities by platform and not work at all on android.

Web based solutions like Immich or NextCloud Photos appear to be pretty famous nowadays, but I'm not sure about them as well. They seem to be overkill for my purpose, and those mostly tend to be very new & i'm not too sure about their future, as they store tags and such on their own formats.

Edit: Oops, forgot to say. I have multiple servers right now, one offsite running FreeBSD, another running Devuan, and one at home running FreeBSD.

I'd love to hear how others are maintaining their system. Thanks for reading.

XMPP as a Discord alternative for small group? (lemmy.sdf.org)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi. I have a group of 6 people using Discord to chat. Recently Discord changed a lot and we're looking for an alternative. We have a few requirements:

Good client on multiple platforms
Easy to use search
Self hosted
Permanently saved chat history & attachments on server (no expiration)
Easy image upload (Ctrl+V to post image from clipboard)

IRC isn't an option as chat history is saved on the client, and there's no good integrated way to share files and preview images. Matrix would be an overkill as we're a small group not interested in federation, and the available clients had a few bugs. Mattermost lacks a good mobile app (their current one had bunch of bugs). XMPP appears to be the best as it is extensible and has many clients available.

However, I tried configuring prosody on my FreeBSD server and it seems like it doesn't permanently save chat history or attachment files. Does anyone know if these can be solved? Or is there any better alternative than XMPP?

Thanks.
