Since BOINC is on your list, I want to ask—is there a version of it that will display the cool screensavers via web UI? I would run BOINC 24/7 if I could show off those cool data processing screens, but there is no use for a screensaver on my server.

Just do it.

FTFY
Maybe I’m just dense, but how is that done? I don’t see anything in tautulli settings, and I don’t see any plugin scripts for it.
Stick with it! I was intimidated by Linux at first and barely learned anything the first year because I was afraid to tinker.
Learn how to make a backup and do a restore (timeshift is a good option), and then tinker with abandon. The terminal is your friend. Experience is the best teacher.
I’m excited for you. I wish I could learn it all again to experience the excitement of writing my first script or figuring out docker again. It’s going to be an awesome adventure for you. 🙂
That does explain some of my bewilderment at your stances in this conversation.
Nobody says you have to donate, but you are discouraging others to do so as well with your definitive statement of “no reason to donate”.
In effect, if nobody donates, we are putting 100% of the pressure on about a dozen individuals who run large instances and/or who develop the software. Overbearing financial pressure like that burns out good administrators.
Lastly, helping in any way you can is just plain neighborly. If you can’t help by donating, you can at least not discourage others from doing so. Even a “I appreciate the hard work that goes into this place” is a contribution.
Instead, you’ve chosen to basically say “I don’t care, not my problem, I don’t care if it burns”, which is a pretty rude thing to say in a thread directed as a thank you to the people who have put in all the hard work and time to make this place.
So, in summary, you don’t have to donate, you don’t have to care, but if you are discouraging others from caring and getting involved, you are no longer neutral, you are part of the problem.
Begone, foul spam demon!

I know these things. Doesn’t change what I was saying though.
Netflix has been advertising content in 4k and then streaming it at a lower resolution.
Likewise, the advertising for 5g leads you to believe that it is somehow vastly improved from the previous generation when no guarantee of that exists.
But most importantly, all of this is stemming from a one line joke—it was never a serious comment on 5g or 4k definitions. I’m surprised that you took it that way.
Who do you think “the business” is? Lemmy is a free open source software created by volunteers. The one paid developer works for donations alone. Every instance is independently run, free of charge, and donation supported.
Have you looked around and noticed the lack of ads, algorithms, and promoted posts? All of that is due to Lemmy not being a business.
If you don’t want to contribute even a positive word toward other people donating what they can, then I’m really not sure what you’re doing in a brand new community driven FOSS project.
The g’s in cellular data have long been devoid of any real meaning, and they keep coming out with more g’s that have essentially no improvements.
Much like how Netflix advertises 4k when the quality is no better than 1080p at best.
We all know what Plex is for—the weird streaming integration wasn’t even part of the original design. They have to act like they don’t approve of the pirates because it keeps them from being next on the litigation chopping block.
They’ve done some annoying things in the last 5 years, but there is a huge gulf between tech literate people and the tech illiterate entertainment business. They know this, and they say the things they need to say to keep on keeping on.
Meanwhile, they have not reduced the 100 account limit for sharing with others, nor have they tried to paywall account sharing services as a business plan. Seems like their actions don’t threaten us salty sea-dogs at all.
