Is this a good use case for peertube? Spin up an instance or join an instance, and upload the video there?

Thanks for the help and suggestions!

It turns out that my template Debian VM doesn't have a DE in it, and that's why I couldn't forward the GUI from the VM to my local machine: there was not GUI. I installed XFCE on the VM and now I can run XPipe on the VM from my local computer, without XPipe being installed on my local computer: ssh -X user@vm_ip_address xpipe open

I look forward to playing with XPipe - it looks cool and very helpful!

I host a bunch of containers on a few servers, but I don't do any of it from my local computer. I have a VM (Debian) that I ssh into and do everything from there. Shouldn't XPipe work the same on that VM as it would on my local computer? I wouldn't think XPipe would care (or know) if it was running on a VM, as long as that VM has a shell it can integrate with.

But I suppose even if that's true and XPipe works fine in the VM, there is still the issue of displaying the GUI on my local computer.

This seems really cool and might be very helpful to me, but I don't want to install it on my computer. I don't see a docker image for it, though it seems like it would be easy to create one; but this is a GUI app, so how would I run it in a container somewhere and use it via the GUI on my local computer? Or if I install it in its own VM (I use Proxmox), I'd have to use a remote desktop app like vlc or something, right?

I'm a noob at this so there's tons I just don't know.

Bitwarden does have address fields, and it also had custom fields so you can define any field you want (SSN, etc).

It may not be a good thing to store such info there, but my question is about what happens when you do store that info.

Also, it's possible to have a login/password for a site but not give them your address, etc.

Same here. I get slightly frustrated by seeing the same post on multiple instances, but I understand why people do it.

When I want to interact with a post, I start with the one that has more responses, and maybe never even get to the others.

This is really fascinating. I'm on this journey, too, and do a lot that's similar, but I've not heard of some of what you do/use and some of it sounds beyond my capabilities.

Well, I wasn't able to figure this out and was just living with duplicate audio coming from the echo and the media player mostly simultaneously. But today I upgraded ESPHome from 2024.6.6 to 2024.7.0 and the problem is gone. Sheesh! :)

I'm trying to deGoogle/deFAANG/deBigData so I try to host FOSS alternatives to every service I use on the internet, though some services won't be possible or practical (e.g., email).

I host:

• audiobookshelf (to stream and sync podcasts between my devices)
• baikal (to host contacts and calendars)
• cryptpad (for collaborative spreadsheets and kanban, though it does more than this)
• drawio (flowchart-like diagrams
• forgejo (my git repos and oauth2)
• homepage (personal dashboard of services and links)
• invidious (youtube frontend)
• lemmy (duh :) )
• minio (S3 object storage)
• mosquitto (mqtt server)
• nextcloud (can do a lot, but I'm only using it to look at Memories for photo storage and management - I currently selfhost Photostructure, but it's not FOSS)
• peertube (youtube alternative)
• prometheus (metrics monitoring)
• qbittorrent (torrents)
• syncthing (currently only used to sync photos from my pixel to my server, but might be replaced if I switch to a photo management app that has an android app that can sync images)
• tiddlywiki-nodejs (pretty powerful wiki, but I use it just to sync text-based info between devices)
• traefik (reverse proxy in front of everything I host)
• tt-rss (RSS feeds)
• vaultwarden (password management - this is a fork of bitwarden)
• wordpress (for my personal websites)
• xbrowsersync (bookmark syncing between browsers/devices)

I use the d.rymcg.tech framework. It's a little over my head, but the framework makes it pretty easy to use all the apps. It's a bit tricky to add new apps to the framework, but it's fun and all the source is there to learn from and the developer is really nice and really helpful.

Thirded. I self-host it (actually the Vaultwarden fork) and use it on desktop browsers, as a desktop app, and as and Android app (F-Droid). I also store secure notes in it (e.g. end of life instructions for my partner). Very powerful and versatile, and AFAICT, secure.

That sounds crazy, but easy to test. Thanks for the suggestion.
