That looks ideal for me too, thanks for the link :)
Do you know if it works offline? So if I start an ebook or audiobook then lose my internet connection, can I carry on with the book?

That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent. It’s very easy to follow conversations.
You could set that up on a lot of forums, you just had to select threaded view in the settings 👍
That looks really handy, thanks :)
I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )
Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?
Depending on what you’re doing, Krita is worth a look. I gave it a go for cropping and lightly editing some photos recently, and then tried their version of the clone stamp tool. It’s hidden under the brushes presets, but worked better than the Photoshop tool 👍
I’m not sure about Windows 11, but I’ve transferred a licence on Windows 10. If OP gives the existing computer an unique name it will make transferring the licence slightly easier.
You need to install the same version of Windows on both computers - home or pro, not the version number
Build the new PC as usual and start the Windows installation. When it asks if you have a licence, select the option to add it later (I can’t remember the exact wording). Finish the installation and install your drivers. Either click the activation popup, or go into settings and click on the ‘This computer isn’t activated’ box. Open the activation troubleshooter.
There should be an option in there to transfer the licence from your old computer to the new one. If you have multiple licenses, having the unique name for the old computer makes it easier to see which one is the correct one.
@Mighty@lemmy.world hope this helps :)
In my defence it’s late at night here 🙈
While I agree with you, if OP is spending money on a remote, they may as well try to find an original remote. They’re unlikely to be expensive, and will have all the correct buttons :)
Thanks both, I’ll have a look into it :)
Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)
I’ll have a look into that then, thanks :)

I want to avoid Syncthing, as a few of the people on the festival committee are not great with technology. I would have to set it up for them, and fix any problems that come up.

That looks interesting, thanks :)

That’s a good idea, thanks :)

I set up Syncthing on my wife’s computer, and she disabled it because she didn’t recognise it. I don’t know whether to feel annoyed or proud of her :D
I’d forgotten about Tailscale. I’ve been meaning to set it up anyway on my media server, so that could be a great solution. I’m torn between hosting at home or something remote, on the off chance that I leave the festival at some point and have to pass everything on.
(Sorry, I’m just adding this part to remind me later)
If I set up a subdomain to point to the Tailscale domain, the next person could self host and I’d just need to redirect the subdomain to their Tailscale domain. I need to check how the shared app / program would cope with that.
Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)
It’s good to know that it is free for self hosting, thanks :)
I don’t mind a complicated setup for at home, as I’ll be setting the devices up anyway, it’s when I want to use something for the group that I run into problems.
At least three of the guys on the committee are bad with technology. They’re in their 60s and 70s, and have never had to do more than the basics on computers. The rest are standard users. It should be interesting trying to get them all on the same page 🙈

Cryptpad does look good, thanks. I haven’t had the time to look into it properly yet, but I’m planning on going through all the suggestions again over the next few days :)
Thanks for the suggestions :)
I had a look at the livesync, but they mention the server now charging, and they’re looking at other options, but I’m too tired to make sense of it now, I’ll have to look again in the morning.
I’ve temporarily set up Google Keep, just to keep the holiday on track while I figure the rest out. Frustratingly, it was stupidly easy to set up. I just entered the note, selected the collaborator option, and entered my wife’s email address.
I understand why the open source solutions aren’t that straightforward, but it’s annoying to see how easy it could be if money wasn’t an issue.
Be careful with MediaMonkey, it can incorrectly change your files.
I’ve got dozens, if not hundreds of songs where it’s changed the track number to the play count, and I’ve got a load where it’s decreased the volume by a significant amount, presumably as part of the volume leveling function.
I don’t use anything else to play or manage my music, and nothing has permission to affect it this way.
To be honest, it sounds complicated, like the sort of thing where I’d miss a step and confuse myself. That might just be me though 🙈
Brilliant, thank you :)
I’m going to give it a go over the weekend and see what happens :)
