Their zoom replacement is really expensive. what they really need is providing more affordable services, but that’s the hardest part. Developing features users don’t need just hurt their business. Anyway, if you can afford, their services are good

That’s what I got confused. Thanks for clearing thing up.

Syncthing is pretty unmaintained now, community worries about it get abandoned multiple times. Stick around and introduce your app to those future post and your app will shine. If you are into serious backup, i would look at bareos,but it is way overkill for most ppl and old too, but very good backup pro sumer lvl open source solution. I once tried hard to shop around

Speed conpared to rsync? Hash speed and cpu load compared? Need shell access for ssh? What about two devices across firewalls and internet which you can’t control? I think one of the usecase is only sync when you have WiFi. Still want android apk for my lazy ass. Good project

I only want Garmin support T.T

But how does this old pc able to run m$ wins that needs cloud account? The most unrealistic point is m$ has empathy on old hw and their users. That’s my point.

Really? You guys only complains about Roblox? Not the crt mon? Not the monitor size? Not the horizontal pc case? Not kids able to complete a full sentence? M$ would drop support for old kb and mouse if they can. Only linuxer would spare their love for old hw.

Hdd is a lot tougher than you think unless you are really running a data center.

FYI, ultrasonic can download music as offline. So I can do online+partial offline for multiple users.

Mp3fs is new to me, kind of interesting. I need more context in here though.

Why do we need to reduce bandwidth here? Is the client mobile and you are not at home?

Why not sshfs? Or using something like ultrasonic + subsonic server?

Totally agree. On the other hands, cheap laptop for us.

My concern is we are solving a wrong problem from the beginning.

GNU/Linux is an OS designed by hackers for hackers(at least in my age). The target users should be admin, not end users like grandma. That’s why Linux desktop is never mainstream despite our community put so much effort on the user experience (but the effort has not wasted)

Before you yell at me, on the other hand, android (shipped with Linux kernel) has a great success because it’s dummy proof design. Even a 2 years old can mess around tablets by his/her own. We can invent million theories, argue and hate each other all days. But there is only one fact. The fact is that mainstream users enjoy the fruit of open source is brought by Android from tablets. Unfortunately, tablets’ gui toolkit is dominated by big corps.

When do we start to put focus on gui toolkit for tablets? We did try, but far away than enough. When do we able to admit new generation use tablets way more than desktop? Seeing the open source communities keep heading the wrong direction make me sad.

In server and gpu world, true. Laptop, desktop world. Not really. Most ppl don’t need that much computational power anyway.

Also, ppl usually not include the shipping, collecting ewaste and recycling ewaste in the carbon footprint cost. Our ewaste recycling is extremely inefficient compared to our manufacturing side.

For power, solar becomes so cheap now.

My rimworld works fine in my 10+ yrs old ddr3 desktop. Amd or Nvidia gpu are all fine. Spend more on ram for Linux built. The estimate lifespan of my new desktop is 10 yrs.

Linux gaming experience is okish. You really have to chk the compatibility because some games claim they support Linux, but not really.

Not trying to blame anyone, I just wish more ppl prefer old good stuff over new cheap stuff. Sigh.

Recycling those ewaste is a lot more expensive than manufacturing them. Of course that’s edge cases, but I think reusing old devices works better(and more environmentally friendly) for most ppl.

Nothing wrong with brain storming, just please consider reusing old devices when you start a cool project.

Kodi suits you better in your case. Jellyfin is cool though

Reading how-tos(may be the source code too) are all you needed. No need to listen random stuff from some random YouTubers. Ppl can read that time. Books and magazines did exist.

Looks professional. I am always wondered if any video editor is client server based and/or api driven based.

For example, if the video editor can directly use tlmy server’s disk io and gpu instead of my desktop one, so my desktop client is only for controlling. Non concurrent multi users across network would be awesome.

If we can build a simple video by using APIs then fine-tune the project by using video editor, that would also awesome.
