OP specifically mentioned not wanting claws.

Not self hosted necessarily, but TagStudio is an interesting project worth keeping an eye on https://docs.tagstud.io/

Core technology advantages: integrating seven major features into one

Compared with existing interface technologies, GPMI has seven core advantages: bidirectional multi-stream, bidirectional control, high-power power supply, ecological compatibility, ultra-fast transmission, fast wake-up and full-chain security, leading the comprehensive upgrade of audio and video technology.

“full-chain security”? Sounds like another proprietary tool for DRM. Hard pass. Fuck HDMI, too.

It sounds like what they ultimately want is one place to look at both read-it-later stuff and starred RSS articles. My read is that they are proposing one way to do it, but ultimately it’s not super workable that way. There are no clients I know of that are both RSS clients and read-it-later clients (using pocket, wallabag, or anything else).

If OP wants one place to see both, their best bet is to find a read-it-later server that can generate RSS feeds, subscribe to those, and now everything is RSS and behaves the same. Wallabag is a great option for that and is self-hostable.

This is exactly what I do and it works great.

http://wallabag.it/ can publish your read-it-laters to RSS

Oh hey it’s by that guy who gave my university $30m so the university could spend another $100m to make a building with his name on it while we had a ton of infrastructure in disrepair. nice.

Kill it with fire

Another option that has not been mentioned yet is WriteFreely https://writefreely.org/

Pretty easy to find on a search engine:

Either he likes Nazi shit or he thinks its funny to pretend he likes Nazi shit to make people upset.

I use a 2013 macbook air for this kind of thing. It works great!

Linus is definitely not American. That is no excuse he way he just ignored the dma maintainer’s behavior and that is no excuse for why nobody in leadership did or said anything even after the connotation of the phrase was explained by another in the thread. The only thing that brought enough attention for any comment was marcan’s responses, and Linus just basically came in and said to stop making noise.

Yeah, this looks like trying to avoid conflict by shutting down a person pushing back against bad behavior, instead of trying to mediate the situation to come to a just resolution. It’s shallow and gross and not sustainable.

I’ve been focused, lately, on separation of concerns. Yeah, using FOSS tools is great, but I’m also asking myself how much losing a given tool will impact me if I start to rely on it.

This past weekend I finally broke away from ProtonMail. After what the CEO has been saying, and because of other annoyances like being unable to use anything but their clients, it was finally time to rip that bandaid off.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of using a standard protonmail.com email address, so now I have to tell everyone to stop using that. Also, I was a heavy user of SimpleLogin for creating email aliases for basically every service I signed up for, and now I have to switch all of those.

I should have learned this lesson when I left Google, but this time I will be using my own domain. I also took this opportunity to leave Cloudflare entirely.

Now I have a domain for my email address and my website through porkbun, but can transfer that to another registrar if they start to suck.

I use desec.io for my DNS needs instead of the built-in porkbun DNS tools to make it easier to switch to a different registrar if I need to. They’re a non-profit, and it’s open source software that I could potentially selfhost in the future. This also replaced Cloudflare.

I use fastmail.com for the actual email service, which let’s me use the apps I like on my phone and PC to interact with email the way I want.

Fastmail also has a service like SimpleLogin, but instead I went with addy.io (also FOSS; also potentially selfhostable) with another custom domain at porkbun.

My website is a blog hosted by write.as, which is, again, built around FOSS and selfhostable software.

All of these pieces can be swapped out without affecting the others if need be, bringing switching costs to near-zero, and making it very customizable in the process.

Yay for DBML! I’m so excited to stop using dbdiagram haha

Everything @CondorWonder@lemmy.ca said and because backups to Home Assistant OS also include addons, which is just very convenient.

My Proxmox setup has 3 VMs:

1. Home Assistant OS with all the add-ons (containers) specific to Home Assistant
2. TrueNAS with an HBA card using PCIe passthrough
3. VM for all other services

Also, if you ever plan to switch from a virtualized environment to bare metal servers, this layout makes switching over dead easy.

I would recommend running Home Assistant OS in a VM instead of using the docker container.

I have a cheap homekit thermostat that I use with home assistant. Being able to turn it off for movies or during peak energy hours is nice. What was most helpful, however, was putting temperature and humidity sensors in every room, so that I could move around heat generating stuff to balance the temps throughout my apartment. I moved my server and gaming pc tower out of my home office. The temperature spread went from 8 deg F to 2 deg F.

Do you have a repo with your NixOS config for your NAS? TrueNAS and Home Assistant are the last non-NixOS VMs I’m running haha

it looks like you already have a node 804 case and the ability to build a computer, so I would avoid it unless you are looking for used enterprise gear and are okay with the tradeoffs that come with it.
