Discord replacement


Not matrix 4sure. Full of csam and reeks of being a honeypot IMO. A good video on this: Matrix - A Pit of Abuse with Government Ties.

Fluxer

Testing as of 22.02.26, in beta and supposedly a very new project. No self-hosting documentation yet, but should be there at some point. No mobile app so far, also planned.

  • Superslow rn, API is regularly down. This is due to influx of new users.
  • The desktop app is quite nice tbh

Stoat formerly Revolt

The slowness of development is genuinely baffling. With all due respect, not having screen-shearing after all these years is wild. Not an option so far, due to lack of screen-sharing.

Teamspeak

Old as shit. 6.0 supports screen-sharing and is self-hostable. Also already a known quantity, since we hosted 6.0 already. Works through Proxy as well.

  • So far should be there as a back-up.

The media stack


This as a reference: https://github.com/loponai/tomsparkprivacyarrsuite. Pretty funny, that the guy is calling it privacy suite, we all know what you use it for buddy.

Based on the repo above, rough list:

qBittorrent

SABnzbd

Firgure out all the usenet stuff

Prowlarr

Jellyfin

Flaresolver

Telegram notiffications

Gluetun

vpn stuff

Some kind of sorting and marking solution, not Lidarr and Sonarr though. Too complex tbh.
