I have never used Tailscale. I have also Jever seen anyone in the wild recommend it and explain what exactly the use-case is beyond plain, old, reliable, open source WireGuard.

So yeah, agreed.

Also I have been hosting Jellyfin publicly accessible for years with zero issues, so idk... I also dint k ow what the "you have to use Tailscale for jellyfin" people are doing with TVs/Firesticks/... in hotels, airbnbs,...

Managing 30+ machines with NixOS in a single unified config, currently sitting at a total of around 17k lines of nix code.

In other words, I have put a lot of time into this. It was a very steep learning curve, but it's paid for itself multiple times over by now.

For "newcomers", my observations can be boiled down to this: if you only manage one machine, it's not worth it. Maaaaaybe give home-manager a try and see if you like it.

Situation is probably different with things like Silverblue (IMO throwing those kinds of distros in with Guix and NixOS is a bit misleading - very different philosophy and user experience), but I can only talk about Nix here.

With Nix, the real benefit comes once you handle multiple machines. Identical or similar configurations get combined or parametrized. Config values set for Host A can be reused and decisions be made automatically based on it in Host B, for example:

• all hosts know my SSH pub keys from first boot, without ever having to configure anything in any of them
• my NAS IP is set once, all hosts requiring NAS access just reuse it implicitly
• creating new proxmox VMs just means adding, on average, 10 lines of nix config (saying: your ID will be this, you will run that service) and a single command, because the heavy lifting and configuring has already been done, once -...

No, AIHorde still uses corporate models. The only open source part is distributing the computation.

Uhhhhhh

No? If they are hard, they are dried out. Chewy, sure, that's the fun; but they should be soft to the touch.

Are we talking permanent background tracking? Or sending a message "hey, I'm here"?

Just in case this post is real: the world does NOT hate you. Not you, not your people, not your country.

We wish you could achieve the freedom to experience the entire world.

For manga, I've found Mihon to be nicest, by far, and it supports the API. For books, I am currently "stuck" on koreader on Android (which "only" supports OPDS-PS). I do most of my reading on a reMarkable currently, and that has no supporting client. Writing one is on my to-do list, but it's a bit daunting of a task....

Here is a pretty good list of what is supported where.

I think I have set Suwayomi to download / convert to CZB, not for Kavita specifically, but because a lot of reader apps cannot handle loose images

Haven't had any issues in that regard, so can't really say, sorry. I have two folders (Mangas and ebooks) on my NAS, and in Kavita, created a library for each.

You absolutely can edit metadata, although I personally haven't had the need yet. I use readarr and suwayomi for "obtaining" books and manga, respectively, and what they come up with is usually just fine.

I went through essentially the same thing a couple months ago. Tried Calibre (and Calibre server) since everyone recommended it.

Really disliked it. Calibre is great for converting ebooks, but has shit management and webserving capabilities.

I ended up with Kavita and am super happy. On the web client, both management and actual reading are a pleasure. Any phone/tablet client supporting OPDS works perfectly to read/download your manga/books from the server.

And a select few clients go a step further, supporting Kavita's API, which allows for 2-way sync (effectively, syncing reading progress between all your devices).

Yeah but conduit is so stale, it might as well be discontinued
