I considered doing this a few months ago. I ultimately decided that for my use, it’s easy enough to just memorize the road network in my city, so I did that instead. This was the navigation software I was planning to use: https://github.com/navit-gps/navit
Its 4 EUR per 3 months or 11 EUR per year
with that being the case, correct me if I’m wrong, but your pitch is that users should trust your manually compiled and maintained commands to install things because you’re guaranteeing that the binaries being installed by your commands are from official sources, and that is better (in at least some cases) than cached binaries from something like nixpkgs, where the trust we are asked to give is that the cache is built correctly from source.
right, that’s what nix does if you build from source
Genuine question: Why would I use this as opposed to Nix? Between nixpkgs and the NUR, there are an insane amount of packages available, and you can build everything from source if you wish.
I use the floccus extension with Nextcloud as a backend for bookmarks/tabs and wallabag for read-it-later
This hugo theme works well: https://jamstackthemes.dev/theme/hugo-lynx/
for a non-self-hosted, but neat alternative: https://weird.one/
Not self hosted necessarily, but TagStudio is an interesting project worth keeping an eye on https://docs.tagstud.io/
same here
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
ArcaneChat is dope. I’m testing it out with my partner right now. The built-in Jitsi button is super helpful. My extended family (about 30 people) switched over to signal a few years ago, so there is some inertia there, but for any new chats, DeltaChat (and ArcaneChat for Android users) is what I’m going to push for.
I played the shit out of Generals with my brother. Very happy to see this.
Another option that has not been mentioned yet is WriteFreely https://writefreely.org/
I love this and Delta chat. I’m keeping this in my back pocket for future group chats and for if any of my current groups become open to switching.
I’ve started using Thumb-Key recently. I’m still very slow on it, but it is interesting, so I’m trying to give it a fair shake.
Mastodon is working on a pretty cool discovery system for ActivityPub https://www.fediscovery.org/
I think you have some fundamental confusion.
First, the ESP32 only has firmware because it is a microcontroller and does not have an operating system. It is also primarily a network client that requests data from a service running on a network host. And it also acts as a server on initial boot to host a web UI for configuring WiFi credentials.
Second, Home Assistant is a whole can of worms, but big parts of that are services that run continuously on the machine you install it on that are listening for requests over the network. This is how you access the web UI from a browser. This is how you access the UI from a Home Assistant app on your phone. This is how networked IoT devices send data to Home Assistant. Home Assistant is fairly useless without these services running continuously and doing that makes the machine you run it on what we would colloquially call a “server” or “host”.
That’s it. That’s what self-hosting is. Yes, sometimes you could be also serving data over the internet or have something to do with “the cloud”, but that’s not necessarily the case, and with the stuff that I host at home, often not.
Your laptop could be a server, depending on what you install on it, but this dichotomy you laid out of “either hosting is only for cloud stuff or, if you have any computer, you are always self-hosting” is just not based in reality. There are fuzzy edges to what it means to be a server, but they’re not anywhere close to that fuzzy.
Also, you’re making “modify the firmware” into this big monster that it is just not. You don’t have to learn a programming language. You don’t have to maintain a fork. You’re changing one line and running a few commands. They have a tutorial that walks you through it. It’s really easy.
On top of that, like I said in another comment responding to you, the need to modify firmware is temporary.
