While it’s not the solution you’re looking for, you can always write a script for those commands, and have it run on each startup.

I ran Lockdown in Wine without any problems during my time at school. Given, this was about 7 years ago so things may have changed.

Yes but doing it on a Nintendo Switch is cumbersome. It requires you to edit the DNS settings on the console itself. Nintendo doesn’t support unofficial multiplayer services.

Audiobookshelf, Calibre-Web, Plex/Jellyfin, FreshRSS, NextCloud, DokuWiki.

Ubuntu for my servers, and Linux Mint for my Workstation.

I grew up using Debian-based distros, so it’s what I’m comfortable with. I like how Mint seems to “just work” most of the time, especially with samba shares and usb peripherals.

Ubuntu server is primarily because it’s incredibly easy to get support when you need it.

I’ve had the MSN message sound as my SMS Ringer for years now. The looks I get from people are fantastic.

Then why does the link to download the client lead to the MS Store instead of Github?

Your client is still Windows Store exclusive? That’s a hard pass from me.

Seconded. Not the cheapest solution, but worth the price.

Not Open-Source, but there’s a fork called WACUP, which is Winamp with modern features.

If you’re on Desktop just use VLC, or try running Nova in an Android VM. Most Linux users are the type to meticulously organize their files, so I wouldn’t expect that there’s an app that’ll do what you’re looking for. There are plenty that will help you rename/restructure your WebDAV though.

As much as I don’t care to use Ubuntu anymore, I will always be grateful for giving 15-year-old me a comfortable and easy transition into Linux. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago, I think I still have one of the CD-ROMs they used to mail out somewhere.

Those issues were related to Covid. It made perfect sense for them to focus on their corporate clients, who are their largest revenue source. I’ve also never heard anything bad about their customer service, nor the quality of the products or pricing.

Now that those supply issues have been solved, there’s no real reason to be wary of them. They make an incredible product at a fantastic price.

Open Source or Die!!! /s

My music is stored on my real-debrid account, and I use Lidarr and Debrid Media Manager to manage it. For a player/streaming server I’m currently using Jellyfin, but I’ve used Navidrome and Plex in the past and found them to work great.

All my local music is stored on a NAS which Jellyfin also has access to.

edit: For the lazy there’s always SpotifyX for Desktop, and XManager for Android.

But then how would they get all the tech blogs to write about them?

A cheaper, albeit less secure alternative, is purchasing a domain and setting up a Cloudflare tunnel.

Hell I’ve spotted some old systems still running a Telex exchange and Windows 3.1

Does this still require you to get the Windows App from the Windows Store? Thats the main reason I ditched.

I just use Beeper. I had my own Matrix server up but getting all the bridges to work was cumbersome.
