I use Fedora Server with Podman (instead of Docker). I am not a noob either, but cockpit provides a really useful GUI for managing the whole operating system.

TIL Vids is a really well maintained instance. It is not federated, and not everyone is allowed to upload just like that. Go to their Matrix channel for more information and discussions.

I highly recommend using PeerTube instead of YouTube.

For voice, I recommend using something Ardour or LMMS to mask your real voice with some filters.

What is critical mass?

I need meow community as well.

I recommend using WebM container with VP9 codec instead of GIF if you are exporting it for web. It even supports alpha.

I have written a small blog post about how to Bypass CGNAT, and have also mentioned why you should not use Cloudflare if you are hosting for privacy.

Handbrake is great. But I would also recommend using Kdenlive. It is a video editor but if you just open your video in it and just export the project, you will get some good output format options.

Use Proxigram. It works, most of the times.

This is the first app I’ve ever made, so, I don’t know what exactly the reason is for that. However, I think this is because I made it with Flutter instead of something lower lever like Java.

I started with YouTube (via Invidious), and then it was just hunting for “how do I add this thing in Flutter” on search engines and forums.

Thank you for these suggestions! I’ll be working on sync or import/export, right after I fix the UI. Making the items editable is another thing I need to add.

That is correct, but I’ll need either a Macintosh machine, or a VM to compile the app. Then, I’ll have to pay a fee to Apple to publish this on their App Store. I haven’t even made a .deb package, as of now, because I use Fedora and am too lazy to spin up a VM.

But if I get to implement everything I have in mind, for this app, I’ll surely release it on every platform possible.

Fortunately, energy cost is not a big deal for me. My state (Punjab, India) provides 300 units per month for free. In the past year, I had to pay for only 6–7 months of electricity. I do host Nextcloud in a docker, but I keep most plugins disabled to save resources. One of my main resource hog is LanguageTool. It is using about 800 MB RAM and 8 GB storage.

In water, Hippopotamus. On land, Rhinoceros.

I was recently gifted some Mellanox 40gig network cards

Where can I find such friends/relatives?
