I use Fennec/Firefox with the ublock plugin. How does that compare with cromite?

What exactly are you removing from urls? It sounds like you need a tailored script that does a simple string replacement for you.

I was thinking BeOS’s BFS since that was the closest I knew off the top of my head, but tmsu looks awesome. I love that simple command line interface around it.

Why stop at a tag-based file manager? Why not a tag-based filesystem?

Threads integrating with Mastodon is bad news. Flipboard integrating with Mastodon? Interesting I guess? Hampers Meta’s 4E strategy I suppose.

Were you on the discussion on GitHub by chance? https://github.com/orgs/FossifyOrg/discussions/9

Gotta love the heavy use of buzzword technologies and no actual information on what is actual is. Then you click the “How does it work?” button and it takes you to a Google powerpoint… so much for the sleek website design.

It’s all good just make sure you have an up-to-date ublock-based extension: https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17j6ygs/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_29_2023_mega/

As of writing this Adblock Plus isn’t working with Youtube but no reason you should be using that over ublock origin anyways.

This is what happens when you patent software, folks. You die. Let this be a lesson.

It’s just an alternate spelling that matches the way some Americans might say the word image, but also I hope what you said is true too.

I ran Nextcloud for image hosting and loading images, even from the same network, performance is atrocious. It takes several minutes to play back an HD shot video clip. I’ve hosted it via snap, a docker image, and directly on the OS with similar results. Even worse, the server can easily go down if a plugin acts up or a Nextcloud update can take down the database. This was my experience at least which spurred me to look for alternatives like OP.

Have you tried Immich? It has a very similar feel to Google Photos but with the advantage of owning your storage.

Providing a name is optional so for many users its just an email address.

Xonotic was awesome. Warsow (Warfork now) was super fun back in the day. There were legit tournaments that went on with twitch sportscaster calling the play by play on 1v1 tourneys. Not sure how big the player scene is these days.

I forgot half these games existed. Thanks for sharing!

On Windows, nothing beats foobar for playback, tagging, and conversion support. I use Deadbeef which is like the Foobar of Linux. It has a similar user interface and a playlist format conversion tool as well. VLC also converted audio if I remember correctly?

NixOS stores a snapshot of your OS and all the app configs in an OS config folder for you. Helpful for instant system recovery or deploying the setup to new hardware.

A friend loaned me a CD set of Mandrake which had an early version of KDE. I was floored away by something as simple as the level of customization you could do with the taskbar. And having this alien operating system running on an alien EXT3 partition format instead of FAT32 or NTFS that you didn’t need to defragment. It seemed pretty fantastical.

I loved tweaking the desktop environment on Windows by replacing explorer.exe with LiteStep and Blackbox so likewise I did this on Linux. Over time I had fun discovering Gnome2, Fluxbox, XFCE, etc. you name it. Eventually I got a desktop I really liked and felt productive on and as Windows XP approached end of life I had no intention of using Vista so I transitioned to exclusively Linux at that point.

I did play with different distros and running servers at the time, hosted VMs back in the day you had to take whatever distro they offered. But for my desktop I basically went Mandrake, Arch (didn’t know how to make everything work), Debian, Ubuntu, back to Arch.
