Damn 99% of the time someone says not to use an open source product it’s because of some obscure drama unrelated to the actual program.

But in this case the dev appears to not just be using AI code (not great but debatable) but using mostly AI code and using AI to reply to bug reports. Not something the average person wants to be running in a live environment.

I haven’t used Booklore but the excitement around it was nudging me there. I think I’ll stick with CWAs slower rollout.

That’s not a reason to consider CWA unsafe

They got bought and a majority of the staff was laid off.

Oh I fully agree, but for someone who needs to make money, it makes more sense to post to multiple places including PeerTube instead of just PeerTube.

Vimeo is on the way out, so Peertube is probably your best bet but it’s nowhere near what anyone who relies on an audience would consider adequate.

Lemmy moderation is heavily instance-dependent. Some are more strict than reddit, and others less. You are on Lemmy.world which is moderated with a pretty light touch, so you’ll probably be happy :)

Is there a list of sources this pulls from?

I’ve never woken up the next morning regretting greasy food

+1 for Bookstack. Very simple and easy to learn.

And nothing of value was lost

EDIT: After reading the comments in this thread I think I should elaborate…

The only thing that makes Reddit not X or Facebook are their niche communities. For years, Reddit corporate has been moving to homogenize them and shove them all into a single algorithmic slop feed that auto-adjusts to what you linger on like Tiktok. /r/all and /r/popular are basically just endless slop feeds of bots reposing engagement bait for people with brain rot to look at while they poop. But having slop and topic-based communities in a single feed invites those brainrotted people to jump into any community they are not a member of and vomit all over it without learning the rules/culture/etc.

Honestly I think focusing on and prioritizing their myriad small communities and not the people who want slop feed is a smart move for user retention. I still won’t go back there, but I think it’s a smart move.

shelfmark. It even integrates directly with calibre web companion.

I believe it was supposed to monitor your jellyfin library and look for potential upgrades.

Any pointers where to begin?

Maybe things have improved but the last time I tried the Home Assistant er- assistant, it was garbage at anything other than the most basic commands given perfectly.

How did you set them up with Plex?

I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.

Last time I looked into it something wasn’t working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I’ll give it another go…

Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer…

I agree with this. It’s installing an app. Installing a program to a computer you own should never be considered “unofficial”!

As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.
