You’re overthinking. Just host it on any server with a domain name and use let’s encrypt certs if you want to access it from anywhere. TLS offers good encryption, I don’t get how you need a VPN on top of that.

For local access only, I’d just host it on a machine over the lan, self-signed certs for TLS, hell I would even settle with http in this case. As for your VPN app preventing you to access a local resource on your lan, if true, you should get rid of that nonsense.

I tried this, it’s nice indeed. The layout will require some getting used to for me, but I like how it lets me add my remote server as sftp bookmark and open files from there pretty seamlessly, even videos.

You can pay for ad-free. It’s an affordable one time purchase and it supports the dev’s work.

My friends and I use syncplay + mpv for this. It works well, and even though it’s designed around local file playback, you can add https URLs to the playlist. So this with nginx serving the files has been a great solution.

You can even play YouTube videos by adding yt-dlp to mpv, but that doesn’t reliably work right now as far as I can tell.

It still doesn’t have a webapp that was supposed to ship weeks ago. The android app is buggy, laggy and doesn’t allow direct capture from the camera. I’d say loops is not ready yet.

not prioritizing the ability to login (easy access to synced subscriptions) is wild to me

I was so surprised by this as well. I thought I just couldn’t find the login at first. Well at least the feature is planned for next year.

What if a band had very vocal Nazi beliefs even lyrically, would you still like them because the music was good?

I don’t see how that’s relevant to be honest. Twitter users didn’t choose for Musk to be in charge, and I’m sure a lot remaining users hate him.

Lol that is you

I said I don’t use twitter, what’s your point ?

People were already on twitter before some right wing weirdo bought it. They just kept using it because the reality is normies don’t know better or don’t care. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but saying every X user is a fascist seams an oversimplification.

That’s just not true. My mate uses it to follow music bands they like. The problem we have with X is that everybody uses it so you have to use it you wanna stay in the loop. I don’t use I myself but i can understand why people still do.

I realize this in not answering your question, but I thought you might like to know that some people share access to their antenna on the web at http://websdr.org/. This sdr webapp lets you listen to the airbands from their antennas basically, and each user can tune it to their own frequency at the same time.

Mumble is so underrated. It does one job and but does it very well.

I play games on Pop_OS (NVIDIA edition) and also run an AMD CPU. Great experience for 2 years now.

you have to tap a link to go to the actual, often cookie-walled, website

Kind of like how RSS/Atom is not useful anymore. Most feeds don’t contain the actual articles, in an attempt to increase clicks and ad revenue. That’s just sad, I miss the old internet.

Removed by mod

Yes you can, and should if that’s more your speed. I just prefer not to use corporate services if there’s an alternative.

The rtmp server can be run with docker https://hub.docker.com/r/tiangolo/nginx-rtmp/

I disagree. I stream my games to friends regularly. Currently using a more basic approach (nginx rtmp mod, playback with vlc) because it runs better on my vps as compared to owncast which is more feature complete, but there is an actual use case for a self-hosted streaming solution.

Yet somehow more expensive.

Definitely. The comment structure is what got me into reddit in the first place. I love that Lemmy uses it as well.
