GoToSocial is pretty good, but it has some fundamental limitations like being unable to follow hashtags and not having a web client of its own. I currently have a self-hosted instances of both Mastodon and GoToSocial (for testing purposes), but I mostly use the Mastodon one.

Bookstack is what I self host, but this is the best pure markdown editor I’ve found: https://markdownlivepreview.com/

I am using a normal desktop case with an external usb-c 8-bay JBOD drive enclosure from Mediasonic. I’m using mdadm to combine the drives with RAID-6. I know I’m not getting the performance that I could with native SATA, but it can still saturate my 1Gbps network, so it’s good enough for serving video, audio, and some other web-based apps.

I have investigated many, many subsonic compatible apps for one as full featured as DSub. Tempo looks great, but does it have Chromecast and Android Auto clients? Those are both necessities for me.

The fact that DSub has all of these and hasn’t really been in active development for years speaks volumes about its quality.

I will keep a close eye on Tempo, though!
