Hypothetically, if you connected a TV provider’s Cable Box with Coax-Out to Plex. Would it work with Live TV?
Yes you need a TV tuner card and Plex might be serviceable but there's possibly better solutions like myth https://www.mythtv.org/

Most used selfhosted services in 2022?
MythTV - Amazing (if a bit crotchety) PVR for OTA TV programming, as well as a decent media server. I think I might be the only one on this list running it! :D

Why I use Jellyfin for my home media library
I wanted to like jellyfin. It seemed like a great option for playing music.
But the 17,000 music tracks in my library crashes the jellyfin server every time I tried to play music.
Plex and Emby phone home all the time (why should they need to do that when all my media is local? No thanks!)
And so I stick with Mythtv[0] (which really seems out of favor with folks these days) which has awesome codec support (I haven't had to transcode anything, it just plays -- probably because ffmpeg is their back end).
It plays my music library, it plays and manages my 10,000+ item video library, supports a real remote control (in my case an Inteset 422[3]) via IR or Wifi.
I can keep my backend (server) (VM with multiple data sources) and frontend (playback/library management) version sync'ed with normal update processes via the appropriate software repositories (in my case, RPM Fusion on Fedora, but other distros[1] have the same).
It doesn't support streaming from Android/IOS/etc, but I just make my libraries externally available via Nextcloud[2], which meets my remote streaming needs.
No, it's not perfect. Yes, the add-on ecosystem is pretty awful. The devs seem much more interested in the DVR functionality (which I don't use) than the video/music library functionality.
That said, it's under active development with regular bug fixes and feature releases and has a fairly active user community.
But there's zero external communication required (unlike Plex or Emby), nor are there any commercial integrations (well, if you want to use the DVR functionality you do need to buy a yearly subscription (IIRC ~USD$15) for the guide data, but I don't use the DVR functionality, so I don't need it).
There certainly are limitations:
1. No streaming apps, but I don't care about that. If I want a streaming client I'll just use my roku;
2. Grabbing video metadata can be a pill if file naming conventions are too different from themoviedb.org and/or thetvdb.com;
3. No direct torrent integrations;
It's not fabulous, but it works for me. And if you just want something to host/play your local media, it's pretty darn good.
Did I mention that I have yet to transcode anything to get video (with or without subtitles) to play?

New HTPC build with tv capture
I use MyrhTV with two PlayStation PlayTV USB tuners. Each tuner has two units internally, so it's actually four physical tuners connected.

Ask HN: Is there a TV on the market without “Smart TV” features?
The solution is to buy a large 4K monitor rather than a TV and then control the TV side of it yourself using MythTV or similar:

Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.
I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/
I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.
I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.
I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.
I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.
I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

Duplicity
After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.
