Incompatible with every website in which browser? It works for years in both Chrome and Firefox. Is this a meme for Safari users only?

The fact that Google invented this format is the most annoying thing about webp, but the complaints in this image haven’t been an issue for a very long time in my experience.

You have a lot going on there all at once that could be contributing to the whole thing failing.

If it were me, I would try to get caddy working independently of everything else first, since it was your original problem, then layer in the other containers one by one in case you’ve got configuration problems in them too.

Caddy by itself is super easy to verify with something like a browse directive pointed at an empty directory.

Then add your tailscale container and configs, and check that you can still access the browse page from caddy.

Then add your Jellyfin container and adjust the Caddyfile to proxy to it.

That sounds frustrating, I can see why you might be discouraged when it feels like nobody cares about your project.

I am not a marketing guru, my projects also have nobody paying attention to them, but I do know that if you want collaboration you usually have to ask for it. Let people know; post about your project and explain your goals and ask people for help. It’s never guaranteed that people will see the value in what you’re doing, but they probably won’t if you make it closed-source either. You’re blaming the wrong things here, my friend.

Still, good luck with your project, and good on you for posting it on codeberg, that’s a great first step to getting some interest!

I don’t think this list is fair at all.

no community on irc/discord/matrix/xmpp to ask about (yes, i talk about you @libreoffice )

LibreOffice has a help page with a bunch of methods to find community support, including Discourse, a bug tracker, Mastodon, and a bunch of other avenues (and yes, they have an IRC channel also) to find help.

assholes in communities if such exist (yes i talk about archlinux and @godot )

The Godot community is one of the nicest around, maybe second only to Blender’s community. But you are right, assholes are everywhere. I got news for you though, bud: there are assholes in the communities around closed-source projects too; far more of them, usually.

enshittification and slowly going back to not being opensource (yes i talk about @mozilla )

You are claiming that a reason why people don’t use open-source is because… they don’t use open-source? Circular reasoning is not an argument for anything, you might as well just not have included this bullet to begin with. If you avoid open-source just because “Mozilla might not use open-source for everything” then you’re just punishing yourself for no reason.

small opensource can do nothing until big opensource does the step

You can always be the change you want to see. You don’t need permission from “big opensource”, whatever that even means. Every project starts small, with an idea and some code added to a repository that is shared with others for feedback and/or collaboration. You don’t have to limit yourself because others aren’t doing their project the way you think they should.

People need to stop posting content to YouTube. Quit giving them new leverage.

Even the linked article whines about how they don’t want to use Peertube because “the audience for the content is 100x smaller” but that’s at least partly a self fulfilling situation. Of course they aren’t going to have a large audience on Peertube when they don’t post anything there. Mirror your old content there. Upload new content there instead. Advertise your Peertube channel instead of YouTube.

There’s not going to magically be a huge audience out of nowhere on alternative platforms, it takes content creators to migrate first.

A consequence of the concerns raised here, probably: https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-organic-maps-shareholders-a0bf770c

Community contributors to Organic Maps have expressed serious concerns about the project’s governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community. They are calling for a shift to a nonprofit structure, greater inclusivity in decision-making, and financial transparency, and are considering starting a new project if these issues are not addressed.

The Organic Maps project has been built and promoted under the premise of being an open community project, so it’s troubling to discover that the majority of shareholders consider it to be their sole property. More concerns include lack of transparency and accountability in project governance and violation of stated Free and Open Source Software values.

There is apparently a community fork of Organic Maps over on codeberg: https://codeberg.org/comaps
