I personally use Navidrome, so everything I suggest will be based around you using that as well, however Jellyfin is probably a good option too.

Navidrome has been incredibly simple, and there are numerous great options on android for player apps. Metadata can come with the music as you get it, or you can use tools like beets or musicbrainz Picard to tag them in bulk. Navidrome has been set-and-forget for me, as I’ve set the download folder for slskd (self hosted version of soulseek) to be the library folder for Navidrome.

Also true. It is called social media, so I’m pretty okay with anything happening to any of the comments/posts I make. All the same, I do expect vaguely better behavior from moderators.

I think this will exemplify the beauty of federation. If I find out my instance mods are running all of my comments through a company’s ai model, I’ll switch instances. This is in great disparity to something like Instagram or Snapchat where every photo I post is immediately fed to ai and my only options are: be okay with it, never post, or delete Instagram.

This may sound like a weird thing to do, but I realised that many crawlers and golems are somehow still able to get past my Anubis. I presume they have gotten smarter and are capable of using Runes.

To counter this, I want to ethereally link my Anubis to an locane setup such that:

Ether > mage tower > Anubis >Iocane > my orb

My hope is that two different filtering mechanisms one of which will actively poison and waste the golem’s energy) will protect my realm better.

I thought I’d ask before actually trying out something like this.

You should pitch this direct to someone running a project you use. I’m interested as well.

I am extremely uninformed but here’s what I found for slack

It appears based on the 2nd link that slack may have an API.

I actually haven’t used beeper in ages. I don’t use many of the chat apps with official bridges other than signal and discord, and Instagram (when I had it) hated that I was bridged and threatened to ban me. Since I’m on iPhone open bubbles bridge isn’t worth setting up for me so I’m not gonna bridge iMessage either. Best of luck with chat and beeper though !! :)

Like any matrix client, it uses their e2ee before hitting the matrix home server.

Matrix client that lets you bridge a variety of chat apps. I imagine you’re using slack and at least one of the other messaging apps they support
