“You have 20 seconds to comply.”

I’ve got a so-called “Asteroid” with UberSpace. You just have to bring your own domain and configure DNS to use their servers. Unlimited mailboxes, unlimited aliases, Sieve scripts … and SSH access.

Apart from that, I’ve got a free account with disroot for emergencies.

Have you tried it with the original GL.iNet firmware? There might be some optimisations in there that are missing from plain OpenWrt.

¿Por qué no los dos? Make Home Assistant your master automation system because it supports a huge amount of devices. And then expose those to HomeKit using the HomeKit Bridge service.

This makes all compatible devices (i.e. everything HomeKit can interpret) show up in Apple Home, too.

That’s how I do it, so I can ask my HomePods to turn lights on and off or lower the blinds.

I’d still like some algorithm in my RSS aggregator. One, that detects articles talking about the same thing and groups them.

Ah, gut zu wissen! Danke! :)

The important bit is -v /opt/podman/searxng/config:/etc/searxng:Z in the podman call. This will mount your local directory (i.e. on the host the container is running on) /opt/podman/searxng/config into the container as /etc/searxng (which is where SearXNG is searching for its config). Make sure that the local directory exists and is writeable by your user account before starting the container. This way your config will persist even when the container gets replaced by an updated version.

IIRC, after running the container for the first time, SearXNG should put a settings.yml and uwsgi.ini there. You can edit them and restart the container for the changes to take.

On later container updates, SearXNG will put the latest versions of the default configs as settings.yml.new and uwsgi.ini.new. This way it doesn’t overwrite your config and allows you to manually merge the new defaults into your running config. (If you only see the *.new files after starting the container for the first time, rename them and remove the .new part.)

News Explorer on macOS, iOS and ipadOS. Syncs everything, so whatever device you pick up, you can continue reading where you left off. Also supports following people on Mastodon and YouTube channels via RSS.

As someone who always had some kind of PDA (CASIO digital diary, Palm, Compaq iPaq) and switched onto the smartphone bandwagon pretty early (SonyEricsson P800/P910i, Qtek 9000, various Androids and various iPhones) … I don’t think I could enjoy the experience with a dumb phone. I love modern technology too much.

I once had a colleague that religiously only used a Nokia 3210 (the newer 3G/4G model). Which meant 160 character messages only. No emojis, no photos (as MMS were expensive). He was also the kind of person to use paper maps when driving - incl. stopping to look for alternative routes if some road was blocked or jammed. That’s definitely not for me.

The only way this could work for me would be to have some small PDA that can connect to the phone to use the Internet. And I appreciate that both devices have been merged into smartphones at some point.

Yep, back in the days the early bird price was $169 and MSRP was supposed to be $199. And now we’re looking at $225 pre-order price.

There’s also FreeDNS. Their only ask is that you log into the account once every 6 months so they know you’re still using it.

That’s their servers being hammered at the moment.

Because it’s always a few fuckwits ruining it for the rest.

it should be built into your internet contract

This works fine with personal contracts like your mobile. (EE has a porn filter that you can disable in your account.)

But it doesn’t quite work for contracts that usually have multiple users. Like your home Internet. Because a child could connect to your WiFi and access that shmutz.

If you’re happy with how Apple Password works for you, I can recommend StrongBox. It keeps all data in a KeePass2 database and integrates into Apple’s AutoFill API. That means it feels almost native when using it. No browser plugin needed. (At least not for Safari.) And you can decide how you sync the database file.

I prefer the term “sophisticated text completion”.

Doesn’t get any more secure than a battle-tested web server hosting simple MP3 files and a text file.

Convenience might be a thing, though. I’m in the Apple ecosystem so their Podcasts app shows that feed on all devices and tracks listening progress, etc.

If I didn’t have that, I’m still a lifetime customer with PocketCasts and PocketCasts Web. So, that’s that. But if you don’t have anything similar in place, a self-hosted streaming server might be the best way to go, yes.

Do you need a web player? I’ve got several years of a radio show on my web server and wrote a script that created an RSS feed for them. This way I can open that in any podcast player (even web based ones) to listen to it.

If you’re on macOS, there’s blocs. It seems to pop up on BundleHunt for a fraction of their normal price every once in a while.

Then, there’s RapidWeaver Elements - which just went into Early Access.

However, you might want to evaluate whether a static site generator or some small CMS like GRAV can work for you.
