Is there a way to host a server on a TrueNAS Scale host?

I have a TrueNAS scale NAS setup and I would like to host a matrix server. Do I have any options? Any particular implementation that I should go with? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey All! I've been a longtime Doceri user and its lack of support (since January 2023) has finally bit me. It's time once again to find new software (and possibly hardware) to become a digital whiteboard. Here's my current setup: - Classroom Desktop Windows PC connected to a projector running Doceri and PowerPoint - Apple iPad running Doceri - Unused Apple TV connected to projector via another input Here's my preferred requirements: - Ability to annotate presentation docs / pdfs - One time cost (in the hundreds are fine) preferred, but a low yearly/monthly cost (in the $50 range or less) is also acceptable - The ability to walk around wirelessly - The ability to record 20 - 60 minute videos (preferrably able to upload to YouTube) - I would love to transition to an Android tablet with a stylus Anyone have any suggestions that they've tried? I understand that I could screen record / screen share for the iPad, but I'm also looking for a new whiteboard app.

Looking for a Python Interpreter

I'm looking for an Android python ~~compiler~~ interpreter that runs locally on my phone. Any suggestions are appreciated. FOSS apps preferred of course. Edit: changed compiler to interpreter Edit 2: I ended up going with Pydroid3. I wish there was a FOSS alternative.

Anyone else not able to create Amazon Prime watch parties?

Sorry, I don't know of a community to post this in. However, anyone else having trouble creating watch parties? I am no longer able to host watch parties on things that are free on prime. I can however, start a watch party for seasons/movies I "own" through amazon. Edit: Put own in quotes.

Downloading Brightcove Videos

Today I found a video series that I was datahoarding... I know... Anyway, I found this old reddit post from 3 years ago on how to download from Brightcove. So I thought I would repost this here for posterity. Here's the post below with some small revisions from 3 years ago by u/publiusvaleri_us >I had a short video that I wanted to try to download, but the brightcove style seems to be hard to parse. I was wondering if there's a way to find out the actual URL to do the download, and I started on a hunch. >Of course I visited the webpage with the video and let it play. In Firefox, I use Web Developer Tools, then I selected the Network tab. It listed a lot of the streams of the video (mp2t) that appeared to be a form of streaming. The secret is to look for a file type of "x-mpegurl" which is the key to feeding youtube-dl the correct video URL. I found this step was made easier by uBlock Origin (I only had to look for the red blocked packets) >Here is my command: (You must use ffmpeg, because of the multiple streams) >youtube-dl --prefer-ffmpeg --ffmpeg-location ..\ffmpeg\bin --restrict-filenames [URL FROM Web Developer Tools->Network.] >The only problem I found out is that some of the x-mpegurl files produce an end result without sound. They were combined in ffmpeg as render-render.mp4. But I found another one that downloaded to a slightly larger file, and it was called "master-master.mp4" when it was done. That video has sound. So if you examine your URL possibilities, look for the word "master" somewhere in it. >...BLAH-BLAH/master.m3u8?fastly_token=BLAH,BLAH >Let me know if anyone has questions or needs a few pointers. I'm surprised I figured it out without a lot of problems. When youtube-dl gave me the error for the main URL, I figured one of you guys knew all about how to do this... turns out that I do.... shocked emoji.
