What do you swear by?
  • Slowly transitioning myself into more FOSS and self hosting. Linux is tough because I'm fairly dependent on software that, to the best of my knowledge, wouldn't work on it. Dual booting doesn't sound fun

  • What types of services are you not willing to self-host?
  • Lemmy instance for me as well. I have a specific community I miss from reddit that I want to replicate, I even have a domain sitting around that'd be good...I just don't want to store data coming from complete strangers. I also have zero interest in any sort of admin/moderating. So I'll just go without it and get over it lol

  • What's the best smart TV operating system
  • Idk Hisense recently updated their TVs and it's been fucking with my Shields pretty bad. Going to try downgrading to the oldest, dumbest OS the TV will allow and keeping it disconnected from the internet. Still love the Shield

  • what is everyone using for photos?
  • Yeah your camera roll or whatever looks and feels exactly like GP. Albums are still a little lacking. No sorting options (currently limited to oldest at the top, newest all the way at the bottom), no comments. The sharing functionality appears to all be there, at least. The dev is very active on GitHub and Discord, implementing fixes and changes as people bring them up daily. Their entire thing is making a GP replacement their own wife is happy with. Future seems bright for it, but it isn't quite there yet....yet! Lol

  • what is everyone using for photos?
  • I tested all of the top options listed on the FOSS photo galleries list. I settled on Immich, and so as of earlier today I currently have everything from GPhotos in Immich, with my phone backing up to both while I get my off-site backup set up. Immich has two drawbacks I consider minor enough for it to come out ahead, but major enough for it to still fall short of truly competing with GP. First, you can jnky select multiple things by tapping them one by one. No tap, hold, drag on mobile. No shift clicking on PC. Next, they have pretty good face recognition, but you can't...do anything with it? You can't set albums to auto add certain faces. You can't assign those people to contacts and auto share with them.

  • What's your opinion on all the Reddit alternatives?
  • Same. I firmly think if Tildes had opened up more, it would have risen fast as a viable reddit alternative. That ship has likely sailed, but it's aiight cus it's still got great communities.

  • Curiosity Killed The George
  • I love just about everything Joel makes, but something about this one just elevates it to another level. I've watched it probably a dozen times. Such a strange, thoughtful video.

  • Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • Got a lifetime key for Enpass something like a decade ago and it's been as good as I could ever need. I still rely heavily on autofill via Android & Firefox, but I treat Enpass as the backup to the backup, the one with every last password. I'm meticulous about updating it with every account, every updated password, etc. I also manage all of my wife's passwords as a separate vault.

  • Favorite 2E One-Shots?

    I'm planning on running a one shot for a new group soon. Two of them are fairly experienced, having played Sundered Waves and Plaguestone. The other two are brand new. Plan at the moment is Mark of the Mantis. Would love to hear everyone's favorites and stories!

    How many people here are Private-Tracker only?
  • In the process of setting up a media server using Unraid instead of just a HDD in my main PC. Seems like seeding regularly may become more viable - is the trick to just stay hooked up to a VPN continuously?

  • Boost for Lemmy is happening!
  • Yeah that does make sense now that you've laid it out, but at the same time I couldn't care less about seeing the instance info once I'm subbed to something. Even showing my profile as being @lemmy.world is just cumbersome, lame looking, and ultimately unnecssary for so many users. Could be a useful sorting tool for sure, but it would be cleaner to have the option to hide them altogether, y'know? I'm excited to see what all of the devs do with this new platform!
