Topic per title, basically.

For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)... I keep circling back to Nova video player.

https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/releases

It's arguably not even self hosting...but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc

IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.

I still love getting messages via xmpp from friends and family using my own snikket/ejabberd instances after years of use. Calls as well.

Video conferences via jitsi meet fill my heart with joy since the covid epidemic. These are also xmpp based. It's just a cool lightweight protocol.

You got your friends and family to switch to XMPP and Jitsi? impressive

XMPP is nice but even with all of the quality of life extensions it definitely feels clunky. I tried switching to it recently from matrix and while matrix leaves a lot to be desired I found it was more useful in its current form than XMPP.

I use a jmp.chat # w Snikket server on Cheogram. Calls handling through native dialer. Works pretty well minus kicking off group chats with mixed users.

I wish Snikket could work on Yunohost! 😢 I have a core i5-10500T and 32GB RAM Ynh server with planty of resources to spare. Would be nice!

Well yunohost seems to support prosody, that should work very well. Snikket is basically just prosody with some extensions preinstalled. If you want an xmpp server on yunohost you could just install prosody or alternatively run snikket in a docker container. Prosody might even be easier to setup if you can install it via the yunohost gui.
