I have only tried Zen from your list and it’s been nice so far. The most recent update last night broke something with the multi account containers, but other than that it’s been smooth sailing for months.

Ladybird looks promising but it’s not out yet. Planning to try switching to it when it’s out.

Arc is apparently dead (or dying), but it was chromium based, VC funded, and Zen does most of the same things anyway. https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/24/24279020/browser-company-ai-browser-arc

Did smarttube have custom feeds? I only saw playlists (where you add videos to them manually) and the ability to pin individual channels to the sidebar.

What I have in mind is an option that lets you scroll through the recent content from a group of channels (ex. cooking, travel, self hosting, tech review, etc.)

Very cool! Have you explored running this on an Android TV at all, since that’s what I was thinking of trying this on. That way you can flip through channels without needing to deal with login on TVs. Also I don’t think YouTube supports making feeds for channel types (ex. Cooking etc.), whereas an RSS feed would make it possible

I may be wrong, but I think his content was more for a younger audience? I don’t have many examples, but the people I remember seeing watching his stuff were around 5-10 years old

Congratulations! Looking forward to trying this :)

I think this might be the self hosted guide?

I should have linked those, thank you!

This is especially true with the RSS feed communities

Also I don’t think you’re the only one. Often when I come across a clump like that, most of them are sitting at only a few upvotes while other posts in the community do much better.

That seems like an optional feature that competing products have.

I’d rather the fediverse friendly open source version have features I won’t use, if it means it can continue to grow and compete with the proprietary ones

Great to hear, thank you!

Sounds similar to the case with Jellyfin & Findroid (and likely Swiftfin)

The official Jellyfin app has full functionality, but it feels clunky. Especially for casual users.

The native third party app is smooth, intuitive, and visually nice, but is missing a few features (ex. Admin dashboard).

What I’ve seen recommended was:

• Findroid (and likely Swiftfin) for daily use
• Keep the official Jellyfin app installed for when it is needed

Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed post!

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

There was the attack on the Internet archive recently, are there any good options out there to help mirror some of the data or otherwise provide redundancy?

One option that I’ve heard of in the past

https://archivebox.io/

ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.

Cool :)

Thanks for sharing!

Some I’ve heard mentioned include

• OwnTracks
• Home assistant with nabu casa

I haven’t explored either
