In this week's episode of the This Week in Self-Hosted podcast, guest co-host Dan Brown joins to discuss important updates from the self-hosted community. They dive into the launch of Matrix 2.0, which features enhanced authentication and VoIP capabilities. The conversation also touches on the acquisition of Omnivore, a read-it-later app, and what it means for the future of open-source maintenance. Additionally, they address the upcoming hospice care for a well-known Proxmox script maintainer and the community's efforts to provide support. The episode raises concerns about "open washing" in both the AI and software sectors, and it covers software updates for ListMonk, Lychee, PhotoPrism, Obsidian LiveSync, and Paperless NGX. New software releases, including Image Public Proxy and OpenSpots, are also highlighted. Throughout the discussion, the importance of open-source licensing, community support, and transparency in software development is emphasized.
