I use Caddy due to the extremely simple configuration and automatic SSL.

They do, but apps can integrate their content with the TV app without subscriptions being controlled by Apple as well.

Most likely they want people to use their app where they have complete control of the experience and only show their own content. They do not want their content mixed with content from other services. Also with Apple being a competitor with TV+, Netflix has likely been hesitant to give Apple access to viewer data that Apple could use to decide what kind of movies and shows they want to produce.

It is disappointing, but not that surprising, that only Go5G Next will get this after the beta.

I remember reading this article a couple months ago. Here is a quote:

This operating system is supposedly built around ads; we know how that sounds, but advertising is also prevalent in other TV software platforms including webOS and Fire TV OS. The Trade Desk emphasises a user experience that delivers "better cross-platform content discovery, personalization, subscription management, and potentially fewer (more relevant) ads," so we hope that the importance of ads doesn't detract from the user experience.

If this is actually true, there is no reason to consider Sonos. Especially at the super premium price of $200-$400. That makes the Apple TV look cheap.

There used to be a bundle with both, but that ended over a year ago.

I have been using Nebula for years and it has replaced most of my use of YouTube. Whether it is worth it for you or not depends on what you watch. You can see what content is on Nebula without subscribing to get an idea of what is there.

The biggest problem I have with Nebula is that it is advertised as a “creator owned” company, but that is not actually the case. Here is a blogpost that goes into more detail about that. That being said, from what I am aware of, Nebula still pays creators more than YouTube per view. I just wish they were more transparent about their business.

I am pretty sure it says LINMOB as in Linux Mobile, but I agree that is an absolutely terrible font.

The official Syncthing app is no longer on F-Droid either. Syncthing-Fork is and will continue to be supported.

[–] Matt 1 points 2 months ago

The official client has, but Syncthing-Fork is still being developed.

China just wants North Korea to keep existing to serve as a buffer. If North Korea falls, it would almost certainly unite with South Korea. Then a very strong ally of the United States with many American military bases would directly border China.

What we would need on the long run is simply replace email with a common standard

That would be ideal, but realistically, if email ever goes away, it would be replaced with a proprietary locked down ecosystem. Likely a messenger app. Link a WhatsApp or Facebook account and you will get messages and notifications through that. I just do not see current tech companies supporting a new open standard for communication.

Despite all of emails flaws, it is one of the few remaining universal forms interoperable communication with little vendor lock-in. It would be great to have something more modern, but not at the expense of openness and interoperability which is likely what would replace it at the current time.

Per the GitHub readme:

This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them.

The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

This is extremely disappointing news. I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

Michael Lucas has a long history of writing books about BSD and networking including Absolute FreeBSD, Networking for Systems Administrators, and SSH Mastery, among many others. He is working on his next book: Run Your Own Mail Server: A Book for Independence & Privacy.

Summary: Running your own mail server is not only an act of defiance against some of the largest exploitative companies in history. It is not a mere education in protocols. Email is essential to modern industrial society. By running your own email, you seize control of your communications. You can tune your email to fit your needs, rather than accepting the defaults imposed by a company that exploits you without a speck of consideration for any of your issues. You own it. Running your own email requires only freely available tools, a server, and some knowledge. This book will give you that knowledge.
