Are you interested in hosting this for people you already know and trust, like friends and neighbors, or am I misunderstanding your use case?

I’ve never tried it myself, but maybe see if Snipe-IT would work for your needs?

From their docs intro:

Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on - although we’ve definitely seen folks using for non-IT asset tracking as well. Oil rigs, theater equipment, even human body parts! (We didn’t ask too many questions about that last one.)

Unfortunately it doesn’t support OIDC.

There’s also the Koha library management system which does support OIDC.

How about a family wiki using something like MediaWiki? Or host music with Navidrome?

Why do you use a VPN? I only use one when torrenting. Basically all my traffic is over HTTPS, and my DNS is encrypted via NextDNS so I don’t think I need one usually

I currently push to a private GitHub repository (planning on moving to a self-hosted Forgejo instance soon).

Although making my nix configuration public would be safe anyway since I use sops-nix which encrypts all my passwords in the repo using a key derived from my SSH key. During nixos-rebuild it decrypts them and puts them each in their own text file at /run/secrets, with permissions set so you need sudo to view them. (The permissions can be tweaked as needed)

It was a pain in the neck to get started with initially (like NixOS itself), but it was very much worth it. (Basically a necessity since putting secrets even in a private repo is considered bad practice)

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

It links out to the source webpage, so this might not be what you’re looking for.

Although this might inspire me to build a single page app generator using Astro that does that.

This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

Do you use git? That basically forces you to do some documentation as you go. Multi-line commit messages are often helpful too. (When I first learned git, I only committed using git commit -m which is a bit restrictive in terms of how much you can fit in commit messages)

All my computers (including servers) share the same NixOS Flake. So my documentation consists of:

1. The Nix code itself
2. The commit messages for each change I make
3. Inline comments in the Nix code
4. A few readme.md files to explain the contents of certain directories

I think copyparty would accomplish that pretty well

• Jellyfin and MediaManager for movies / TV shows
• Navidrome, slskd, and SoulSync for music

if the problem is that major platforms are centralized, opaque, and controlled by corporations, why would the solution be yet another centralized platform controlled by a corporation?

Because people are brainwashed into only trusting billionaires, corporations, brand names, and consumer packaged goods to solve all our problems.

Any advantages over using Seal for Android? Is it primarily for iPhone users?

They think this will take some of the heat off of them. Hopefully no one actually thinks this is a reasonable compromise. If I want to help an elderly family member install something on their phone during Thanksgiving dinner or a family reunion, I’m not gonna want to wait a day. Uncle Paul’s flying back to Florida tomorrow morning!

I’ve recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They’ve been pushing a lot of updates so I’m excited to see where it goes.

I’ve been noticing that more and more projects are being hosted on Codeberg lately. Some examples:

• Forgejo (The software that powers Codeberg!)
• HelixNotes
• Mineclonia
• Pay Respects
• SuperTux Advance
• Betula
• Nitropage

I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)

good bot

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.
