  • Alright, you've convinced me. They get ONE more day.

  • FreshRSS is the tool for that

  • Do you just use podcasts on your phone? If you have an Android phone, AntennaPod, while not self-hosted, works very well and is FOSS. There are other options to "self-host podcasts" to varying degrees:

    • PodHoarder: mentioned in another comment, which could be piped into AntennaPod, but I find that a bit redundant for me
    • AudioBookshelf: a fantastic self-hosted audiobook server, and an okay podcast server, but is focused around streaming from your server to your listening device, and I prefer to download on wifi to listen later (it was pretty clunky for that workflow).
    • GPodderSync: barely supported at this point and missing too many features to be useful in my opinion, but a neat backend for AntennaPod and other players to sync to some degree.

    Bonus: the creators of AntennaPod and other FOSS podcasting software are working on a replacement for GPodderSync here: https://github.com/OpenPodcastAPI

    EDIT: for RSS in general, I use FreshRSS, which uses the g-reader API to sync across multiple apps. It's awesome.

  • I host wikis for local advocacy work. I plan to host other static sites, and I'm building a tool to get better transit schedules in a simple webpage. Hosting Mobilizon is on my list to do as well.

  • On top of that, if I'm going to recommend something like this to my less techie friends/family as an alternative to big-tech products, I'm not going to pick something that can't be forked and can be purchased by some bigger company and shut down or squeezed for profit the moment it gets popular.

  • If your budget is as cheap as possible than the only answer is a 12TB HDD in a USB enclosure for your Raspberry Pi.

  • What is "huge storage"? What is your budget?

  • They're not. There are far better options like speed tables and speed cushions.

  • my current usage:

    on my desktop:

    • RX 7900 XTX
    • Wifi 6 adapter
    • 10Gbit SFP+ NIC

    on my proxmox server:

    • RTX 3080 (passed through to Debian VM)
    • 16 drive HBA (passed through to TrueNAS VM)
    • GT 730
    • 10Gbit SFP+ NIC

    I've also used USB PCIe cards to get more USB controllers for picky USB devices like USB capture cards and audio interfaces.

  • I still find windows and tabs to be a useful way to have a nested organizational structure for web browsing. To solve the visual issue, I permanently hide the tab bar, and I use tree-style tabs with css to auto-hide the tab panel unless my cursor is all the way on the left side of the window. I also have the toolbar autohide unless my cursor is at the top of the window.

  • Just a heads-up: There is not an actual source that shows that private equity purchased 44% of single-family homes in 2023, let alone that Blackstone did. This all seems to be coming from this Medium article misunderstanding or misrepresenting the linked cnbc article (EDIT: and others) the source for the 44% number, which is not, in fact the cnbc article. That was my bad.

  • In the process of moving all my stuff to porkbun as well. It's the best.

  • I want one of these so bad, but I just cannot find a way to justify it. I barely even use my Framework laptop anymore because I'm almost always at my desk at home with my desktop machine.

  • We have a better shot than lots of other states. Keep an eye out the next few years for information around AQCC Reg 7 and the Oil & Gas Emissions Intensity Rule.

  • yup. I'm working in Colorado on implementation of recent legislation to require oil and gas operators to submit a measurement-informed inventory of their emissions, instead of using assumed emissions values for their equipment.

  • Tarsnap charges you for the compressed, deduplicated storage used, so if you're mostly backing up documents and working files, the amount of storage used is way lower than the raw uncompressed storage. This includes deduplication at a block level.

    If you use Backblaze B2 with Restic, you can get the same functionality at a much lower price, but requires more setup.
