Check out Cherrytree. I use it for keeping track of literally everything in my life. It’s hierarchical and searchable and you can insert files as well as hyperlink to external files, URLS and other nodes internally. You can export the database in various formats and there is also the option to have it encrypted. You can theme it in the preferences to make it look nicer too (the default is a bit retro-looking). It’s free and open source and AFAIK you can open your database in other applications, so you’re not locked into it.

If you want to sync it across devices just use Syncthing or whatever file sync app you’re selfhosting.

I highly recommend it! Probably the most important application I have on my computer.

I was just borrowing it when I made the rip and was also using a borrowed drive to read it, so I’d rather try and fix the files I currently have. I tried ripping it more than once when I had it, so I just settled for what I got - only getting around to fixing it now!

I copied it using a borrowed external optical drive.

I’m not sure how to tell if I have all the data but the size of the directory contents is around 3.5 gigabytes which seems appropriate for length of video (1h45m).

Will try your suggestion in mpv 👍

That’s good to know.

All of my own drives are encrypted except for a USB stick that I use for transferring files to a windows machine.

Would ‘overwrite with zeroes’ in gnome Disks work?

I installed Jitsi Meet on my YUNOhost server and am very impressed. It works really well and needed basically no setting up after installing.

Awesome, looking forward to checking it out ✊ Bandwagon looks like a great platform as well - good choice!

I haven’t come across a single tutorial that ‘unlocks’ GIMP for new users (if I’m reading your question correctly) but I’ve found Davies Media Design to be an excellent resource for video tutorials, both free and paid. Also Bernard Hooft has provided a free video course and book.

Be aware that lots of learning resources are being updated after the 3.0 release, so some tutorials may no longer be valid.

Would it work to selfhost a Peertube instance?

Who is the Payment Service Provider?

I can’t tell if this is decentralised.

Also gives you an opportunity to buy more beer on the way home so you don’t have to stop drinking.

I’ve had success using Czkawka (hiccup) for deduplicating

The FSF is rad

Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck

Not sure whether it helps but after the last major update on YUNOhost it notified me of a few extra DNS entries I had to make. If I remember correctly it was under Domains, rather than Diagnosis.

I’m glad Bandcamp Friday is still happening

I am gonna have so many tabs open now.

Remember that you can always have current versions of programs by using flatpak and appimage on Debian.

I’m currently on Fedora because my hardware was not supported yet by Debian when I got it. I’ve had a lot more problems with Fedora than Debian though and intend to go back to Debian when 13 comes out and use flatpak for the applications that I really want to be at their current version.

I have similar values to yours re community and privacy.

YUNOhost is designed for this. You can do almost everything graphically via the webadmin. Mine has been running for a couple of years and I’m very happy with it. I have email, XMPP (both of which were installed out of the box), a website, file sharing and a few other things. There are a tonne of apps available, including Fediverse instances, Nextcloud. It’s a very cool thing to have available for making self-hosting more accessible.

Yeah but monkeys have hands on their feet, so they can pull on the pedal’s upstroke as well as push on the downstroke ☝️
