I haven't run in to any freezing issues either. It sounds like it might be a network issue, do you access the service over your local network or by external DNS?

Not to hijack your post, but do you use tubearchivist-jf-plugin for getting metadata in to jellyfin? I cannot seem to get that plugin to function on my set up for some reason which makes it very hard to view the tubearchivist library on jellyfin ๐Ÿ˜ข

I'm on KDE ๐Ÿฅฒ That Gnome app has been almost enough to get me to switch though. There's a few Gnome apps that KDE doesn't have a comparable parallel to.

I haven't heard of 2fas before, they seem pretty interesting. I'm inclined to keep my password and 2fa vaults out of the cloud (thus Aegis and Keepass) so I'm interested in how the browser extension syncs data with a phone. If it uses a shared network or ephemeral data transfers that would be pretty nice.

I have a few codes duplicated in my keepass vault for the services I log in to often on desktop. The autotype is super nice in those cases. Other than that I do generally prefer having a separation between password manager and 2fa data though. Probably only a theoretical safeguard in my case, but simple enough to keep in place for the time being.

I second that. It's been brutal trying to find a good FOSS 2FA app for desktop.

EDIT: realized this was for desktop, so removed the original list of mostly android apps. Here's my go to desktop apps:

Lollypop - music player
Invoiceninja - open source invoicing service
Meld - file/folder comparison
Librewolf - hardened Firefox
Joplin - notes
QEMU/Virt-Manager - virtualization for that one windows app you still need
KeepassXC - password management
Element-desktop - Matrix client
Gparted - no fuss partition management
Lutris - game launcher that works with epic games (among many others)
PDFarranger - best PDF management I've found on Linux Soundconverter - easy to use file converter
Restic - backups
Fdupes - duplicate file finder
Freetube - privacy respecting YouTube client
Paperless-ngx - very well built electronic document storage. Must be run as a server.

Just another recommendation for QEMU + Virtmanager. I've been using that setup for some time now and its a smooth and responsive experience.

I did have some issues getting USB redirection on EndeavourOS, the virtualization entry on the Arch wiki helped. Check out section 8, SPICE. I didn't have the same problem in Manjaro, so it appears to be just a missing package/configuration issue with more minimalist Arch-based distros.

Just gonna leave this here for anyone who wants a laugh. It wasn't a Linux based desktop, but it was hilarious. Buying a PC with Dell: my journey into hell

I thought this was a really good point regarding situations where a github issue or other channel of communication is being used to pester or make demands of a maintainer. I hadn't thought about it from this perspective.

Let the maintainer deal with it publicly, and reach out privately if you are concerned about the situation. Otherwise, even if you are concerned about burnout or the maintainer overworking, you may wind up advocating for a threat actor to become a maintainer of something.

I hate that so much but you're probably right ๐Ÿ˜…

I initially started out with that, it worked fairly well but I did notice a significant speed increase when syncing after getting the Joplin server set up. The downside is having another service publicly exposed though, a more minimal set up does have its benefits.
