Not sure if you already know this, but there is a plugin called “Tubifarry” for Lidarr, that directly integrates slskd as an indexer and download client in Lidarr. I’ve recently switched from Soularr to the plugin and it works really well. In combination with the “Search Sniper” Import List you can still get that random backfill behavior of Soularr.

Here is some general information on lidarr Plugins. You have to use a special branch/image. There’s also a link to Tubifarry at the bottom of the page.

Do you have a link? I was curious since I hadn’t heard of Cicada yet. But what I’ve found so far are two dead projects 😅

Android only allows one active VPN per Profile. So as OP said, running Tailscale and Proton in parallel is not possible.

git-sync looks like it does at you’re looking for.

Oh, nice. Saving the link’s content is exactly the feature I’ve been looking for.

As someone who was also recently looking for a multi device alternative for mihon/tachiyomi, I highly recommend Suwayomi. It’s even somewhat compatible with Mihon. It can use the same extension repos and you can restore Mihon backups in Suwayomi, which makes the migration pretty smooth.

Codeberg isn’t an entirely new forge. It’s just a well-known gitea/forgejo instance. Sourcehut would probably be a better example.

From what I’ve read you need it for Bittorrent or at least the chance of failed downloads is higher without it.

Definitely worth it IMO. There’s a lot of parts involved in a Matrix setup and this playbook handles them all for you. Just make sure to have a look at the changelog whenever you update your installation. If there are any changes that require manual steps, it usually explains those steps quite well.

Personally I don’t like the whole crypto coins scene much but if you’re interested in an open social network with ties to crypto, have a look a nostr.

I think Stash should cover most of your points, except for the page-less scroll: https://github.com/stashapp/stash The only other software I know for this is Porn Vault: https://gitlab.com/porn-vault/porn-vault

I use Fedilab for the Twitter-like part of the Fediverse and it has a nice feature, where you long-press the button for reply, star or boost and then you can choose as which account you want to do it.

Oof. Just had a quick look at it. It’s like 90% crypto content. And lot of it are obvious scams to steal your coins.

While I agree that it is probably better to not defederate them right from the start, I believe that the Fediverse might not have that much leverage. This recent blog post about the history of XMPP describes it pretty well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

As expected, no Google user bated an eye. In fact, none of them realised. At worst, some of their contacts became offline. That was all. But for the XMPP federation, it was like the majority of users suddenly disappeared. Even XMPP die hard fanatics, like your servitor, had to create Google accounts to keep contact with friends. Remember: for them, we were simply offline. It was our fault.

Of course it’s different because this is social media and not just 1:1 privat messages. But for us to actually have some leverage/impact we have to generate a lot of (good) content so that Threads users will actually notice and complain if that content “vanishes”. And at the same time we must not become too dependent on their content

There are multiple GH issues on that topic

For me, saving a post also crashes the app. But when I open the app again the post is saved. So at least the saving itself works.

That’s a cool idea. Thanks for your work!

One question: Let’s say the script defederates an instance and then the admin of that instance cleans up their database and makes sure no new bots can register. Would your script remove them from the blacklist or would I have to manually check if all instances on my blacklist are still “infested” to give them a second chance?

I think it’s actually pretty clean. Thanks to the references on the person table all related entries in the database like posts, comments, etc. also get deleted if there are any. It’s better than banning all those fake users and thereby spamming the modlog of all instances that federate with you 😅

Just did that for my instance. Luckily it’s fairly easy. Since there were no human registrations after those bots I just looked up the lowest bot id in the local_user table which was 9 and then used delete from person where id in (select person_id from local_user where id >= 9);. Thanks to the references and triggers on the table, the rest of the database was also cleaned up by that, including the local_user table.
