I’ve been using this happily for a week now. Much easier to configure than I feared!

Sounds like livesync is a decent option, too, if you run a home server like me. But I believe some users have lost data so I’ve stuck with SyncThing-Fork for now. No battery life hit that I can see.

Capy and Read You are both solid Android FreshRSS-compatible reader apps.

Any routers looking good to you yet? I keep debating building a custom Linux home server box with a beefy wireless card that can double as a home server and NAS. Because very few routers look good to me and I’ve been thinking of upgrading my home server anyway.

Ah, a history would be nice. I’ve been thinking of keeping some stats to monitor when the connection goes down, and how often my IP changes.

Fortunately I’ve kept the same IP since i changed ISPs a few months ago.

Personally I still think docker is overkill for something that can be done with a bash script. But I also use a Pi 4 as my home server, so I need to be a little more scrupulous of CPU and RAM and storage than most :-)

exactly. I literally have a bash script that calls the API triggered by cron every 30 minutes. That’s it. Are people seriously using a freaking docker container for this?

Says it all. FF should focus on providing a browser engine competitor to Chrome/Google, not squandering money on rebrands. At 5% (or less?) market share, their core market of tech nerds, and even their near horizon of potential users don’t even respond to this bullshit.

Classic FF android bullshit.

Plenty of time to reorganise a menu that works just fine.

No resources to give us theming add-ons or even a basic OLED black theme. Let alone allow any other UI customisation.

Fortunately I set up unbound ages ago, and disabled every other upstream option in my pi.hole. However, I imagine that still “leaks” some information about my DNS queries, just indirectly – it’s not like my pi.hole has every domain mapped all the time!

Thanks. Wild that folks build SSH and HTTP around the same time without realising that HTTP could benefit from some of that same tech!

Excellent to have confirmation, thanks. What about the VPN connection handshake? I always assumed it was OK over non-SSL, because the exchange should use signed keys. But that is quite an assumption on my part.

I do exactly this as well. Works great! Dynamic DNS is kind of a hilarious hack.

Quick question: since I use wireguard, do I need to use DNS-over-HTTPS for security? My assumption is that my entire session is already encrypted with my wireguard keys, so it doesn’t matter. But I figured I should double check.

Any themes you specifically recommend? I just use native apps on my phone and laptop, but it would be nice to improve the theme when I administrate.

If Mozilla really starts to go downhill, what are the chances we get a Linux kernel-style community fork that we can rely on instead? Curious why that hasn’t happened before – perhaps because Mozilla has always toed the line of not-quite-awful enough?

I just hope we can keep an alternative browser engine alive. Would be nice if some rich person would just set up a funding model that can pay a few devs to keep it going indefinitely without ads or spyware.

Saw someone open a PR with this fully implemented a couple of months ago.

Goddamned PM faffed about “UI research necessary before we make changes”, linked them to a bugzilla post closed in favor of a JIRA ticket only internal users could view…

And then closed the PR, denying the change. And we wonder why Mozilla has been struggling so much lately.

I’ve been running a setup much like this for a year and a half now. I ended up buying a Samsung T5 2TB USB drive and plugging it into my RPi 4. Works amazingly, performance is ideal. And there’s even a way to boot from a USB SSD if you want to avoid SD card wear.

Why the T5 and not a higher tier SSD? Turns our the T7 and higher chips only benefit from speeds if you’ve got a thunderbolt port, consume a lot of extra power, and generate a ton of extra heat. The T5 will hopefully hold up better over time since it’s almost always cool to the touch. Performance has not been an issue.

Of course, you could also look into SBC with built-in PCIe ports and plug an SSD right in.

No reason the state can’t run their own Mastodon instance. Then they don’t have to moderate anything except the comment sections on their own pages, but everyone can consume the content as they please.

I live in a region of the US recently effected by a freak natural disaster. The US Army Core of Engineers announced at 2AM last night that they might have to release water from a dam, adding to the floodwaters in an already flooded downtown near me. On Twitter. Which you can’t view unless you create an account, and even then you might get rate limited. That’s not an acceptable availability for a public emergency announcement.
