    This is something I want to know too!
    I don’t believe google deletes anything that has entered their system, my use case is that they don’t have visibility on when are my devices online, how many so I have, and such. But my gmail address has not been my primary one for long, so it’s not that important.

    All I have found so far, though, is that what I need is possibly called a Message Delivery Agent.


  • At least in the case of jellyfin, it’s not exactly just a “resource hogging frontend”.
    For instance it keeps track of watch progress, in episode and through the series, and what did you watch last time so you can continue with whichever.
    Allows you to remote control your player device (handy if it’s a TV or something like that) from your phone or another anything with a web browser.
    It fetches info about the movies and series so it looks nice and for your users it is easier to pick something for themselves.
    It has integration for MPV (and probably a few other players) so it does all the above.

    And it does all these things in a way that everything is available across all your devices. Not just the content, but watch progress and everything else.

    Something tells me you also tell your family that a Linux computer with no desktop environment is all one needs for everyday tasks.

    And finally for OP: you don’t have to learn FreeBSD for ZFS, because Linux has it too. Because of licensing issues installation is a bit more complicated in most distros, but if you use Proxmox, they have done that part for you.








  • To me the way it’s better is that it’s more free in a sense. For one it does not even attempt to limit what software you use for browsing it, but also if you very dislike certain people/content, like-minded people can host their server without losing access to most of the other content, while being able to block the unwelcome instances and users.

    Downvote brigading is not a technical problem though, but a people problem, isn’t it? So the solution against that would be stricter moderation, maybe banning a few more instances (but that’s not really a good solution unless it’s very extreme), and making people downvote less.
    Hmm, thinking about it, maybe a daily per-user “downvote budget” would be an interesting experiment? To see if it would be effective. Or with an other interval, but still not too long, and maybe partly connected to account active days (not account age).
