Anyone else think we need a new unofficial desktop client? I don’t think the main one gets that many updates anymore. The last couple of updates were just to make it work with 10.9.x. There are 312 open issues. I wish I had the ability to help merge PR’s. Not that it’s a buggy mess, but some updates would be nice. Glad to see we get plenty of contending mobile apps though.

Thank you for the compilation, I’ll take a look at these.

My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

You’re right, thanks.

Good perspective, thanks.

That’s fair. I’m making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it… or not, which in that case they won’t go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that’s if they really enjoy it. I don’t think it’s uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and “force” them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn’t hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.

For those that want an RTS game that doesn’t require a high APM, I’d recommend Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (FAF) and the Sins of a Solar Empire Games (which requires an even lower APM).

I know there are different use cases for each, but generally do people prefer self hosted nextcloud, proton docs, or libre office?

No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there’s a song I don’t have and I’m driving. I was looking at music fab, but it’s expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn’t grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.

I use the former. How does it compare to the other two?

Are they on Deezer? If so, look into deemix-gui.

I have no issues with Jellyfin + Symfonium, but I also cache my songs offline. I almost never play a track that hasn’t been downloaded.

I don’t own P3 Reloaded, but is this sort of like the additional content that usually comes in Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal? Shouldn’t this have been included in the P3 Reloaded release?

I’ve had issues with duckdns failing over the past year or so (their server going down - outages). I guess it could be something on my side, but it happened often enough that I switched to my own domain. Haven’t had any outages since, and I can use subdomains now for routing.

100% Symfonium is awesome.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Yeah, I’m trying to figure this out from a high availability standpoint. I guess the next question would be if all the servers are operating on the same out-of-sync server, probably not, as those servers aren’t connected together, they are just connected to the now-offline server. I wonder if the server comes back up if it propagates or trys to re-sync. Seems like we would have issues either way, and the best bet is finding an instance with good availability.

I was kind of hoping that if an instance subscribed to another instance’s community, then the originating instance can go down without effecting the community because another instance is now acting as the backup.

I’m also concerned if Lemmy as an application can support a large user base.

So if lemmy.ml subscribed to lemmy.world, and world shut down with no warning, provided you aren’t a lemmy.world account, you can still access and make content on the world communities? Has this been tested?
