Update: Downloaded and installed the opensubtitles plugin on my server. And switched back to exoplayer. I can download subtitles now without having to use VLC.

Can't find MVP player anywhere online

Update: it's MPV player. I found it here and side loaded it but it still doesn't let me download subtitles like VLC does.

When I use VLC with other apps, there's an option to download subtitles. I don't have that with the built in exoplayer or libvlc.

Yattee is so much slower than uYOU. You can also go to any instance url on safari browser and add it to the homescreen and use inviduous as a webapp. But neither one works as good as uYOU when I'm out on the road.

Even more of a pain for me because I am on Linux so have to spin up my Windows 11 VM just to use altstore.

Invidious has a bug where it doesn't update as frequently as it's supposed to. I've had this issue on both my self hosted and public instances. I'm thinking about switching to freetube. Always hear about it but never tried it

I use tailscale. Too easy to setup

I was using nextcloud at first but kept having sync issues. I use syncthing to sync my Libre office docs and it always disconnects on my Android. I bought Mobious a few months back to sync photos from my iPhone and it always disconnected. So I switched to photosync. So in other words syncthing hasn't really been reliable for me. I use a free Dropbox account and haven't had any issues since. And the best thing about Joplin desktop is there is a Backup plugin, so if my Dropbox ever went down, I still have multiple Backups saved locally and on my Proton Drive.

I have been using Joplin with Dropbox sync. Syncs between my Desktop, Android, and iOS devices. Switched from Google Keep a few months back. Great app.

I have a self hosted freshRSS but I still just use the Feeder app 99.9% of the time. I guess I just keep Fresh as a backup in case the Feeder app ever goes down.

Then you're using it wrong buddy.

I use Kodi for the Google drive add on to stream and nothing else. So I keep it as bare bones as possible.

Rclone is one of those things that I never knew I needed... Then once I got it... I tried to figure out how I lived so long without it. It's amazing.

Yup. Same way I do it.

Use to do it individually. Now I do it all from one Master compose.

How am I shilling, you dope? I said what I did for MY personal experience. I never once said other people have to use it. In fact I would never recommend Linux to non tech savvy family members, unless they only do light shit like web browsing.

Just moved from WIndows to Linux Mint a few weeks ago and never going back

You dont need tampermonkey for Ublock Origin and Video Background Play Fix. It's under add-ons when you go to settings.

I use Revanced, but keep Firefox Youtube and invidious as backups.

Here's another trick. Go to youtube and then go to your Firefox menu and check "desktop site". And then you can install it as a PWA on your Homescreen. Don't worry, when you open it up for the first time from your Homescreen, it will be back in Mobile web format.

This essentially makes it an isolated app from your browser. Not cluttering up your history and tabs.
