I’m a complete noob

selfhost files with nextcloud and imich

You should definitely use YUNOhost :)

sudo chown debian:debian “by the way”

Yes it does

Then how do you explain this:

Affinity Suite

You know this is a FOSS community, right?

Everyone knows that it HAS though

It might not be an obvious one but GIMP.

Adobe are ripping off my work and violating my clients privacy if I use Photoshop to process their images. So I use GIMP instead.

It definitely has

Jolly good, carry on!

I upvote your downvote.

I’m very tired and got mixed up for a moment about which of you was the bot and thought “Awesome! A bot that points out when someone is being continuously negative!”

I hope someone makes a bot like that. That would be a good bot to have.

They are probably using a phone app which allows you to swipe sideways to downvote and also using screen gestures to ‘go back’. I’ve accidentally downvoted things this way.

Yes it has

No, it’s not just your imagination. It has become distinctly more hostile in all communities.

Here in the UK (and elsewhere I’m sure) there is public funding for the arts. It’s recognised as being good for culture but that it also stimulates the broader econony. In that way it is treated as a public investment with expected public (and private) returns.

You can easily install most of those services on YUNOhost - in fact I have a bunch of them running on a cheap VPS. All open source. It even comes with email and XMPP out of the box. I had no hosting experience beforehand and I rarely have to touch it these days. I would want more resources if I had 10 people using the whole Nextcloud suite every day but if you wanted to go the VPS route I’m sure you could easily do it for less than €5/month/person. You can run it on your own hardware as well.

I haven’t tried it yet but Calibre Web looks like what you need. A good write-up on it here. Looks like you can enable uploads from your phone.

Great resource - very accessible 👍

If you’re new to self-hosting I highly recommend you look at YUNOhost. All of those apps are available on it.

Great news.

I want my boss to do this with GIMP. He’d save a lot of money. There’s even a guy living nearby who said he’d work for us to write plugins.
