Has anybody used Delta Chat? (alternativeto.net)

Usually when alternatives for messaging apps are recommended it's Signal, Threema or Element but all of them still seem to have small inconveniences (Signal is American, Threema isn't free and Element just seems too complicated).

Today I stumbled upon Delta Chat for the first time and it seems to be the ideal solution. It's european, free, open-source, decentralised, usable on almost any device and privacy focused. But the fact that I've never heard about it before makes me hesitant.

Has anyone of you used it and can share their experience?

Alternative to IMDb? (feddit.org)
 

Specific request but I only just realised that it’s an amazon company. I use it to look up film data and ratings/reviews as well as track films I watched and those I want to watch in the future.

Alternatives I’ve seen are TMDB which looks nice, but that’s from the US too as far as I know and letterboxd which is from New Zealand but takes the data from TMDB anyways. Also I’m not looking to have my watchlists public.

Any recommendations?

Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] simsala@feddit.org 3 points 9 months ago

Thanks for taking the time to write all this up, it’s very nicely explained! I feel motivated to just start out small like some people here have suggested and then see where to go from there.

Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? (feddit.org)
 

Hi, I'm fairly new to the self-hosted universe but I like the idea of self-hosting media (I've looked at Jellyfin and Plex). But as I understand this requires quite some money and a lot of work. I don't think it's worth it if I put in all that effort just for myself but I'd love to build a small private streaming between me and my friends. We used to share and swap blu-rays after all, so it would be cool to build a shared collection.

My question is if that's possible and if anyone has experience with this? I've read that Jellyfin and Plex are meant as home-media-servers and I'm not sure what limitations that implies. Can people access the library from outside networks and will that affect the streaming quality/speed? What specs would the server need to ensure it can handle a bunch of users? Is there a software that is better suited for this use-case?

Thanks in advance for any help!
