  • Self-Host Weekly (7 August 2026)

    Jump

  • I have done the same. I have shared my apps though - just not here. I went to the communities they are targeting. Of course I made clear that the apps were vibe coded and lo and behold everyone was fine with it. It's just this community that is especially toxic about this topic.

  • This is going to cause a lot of problems in a few billion years. Either they have to introduce negative numbers or a lot of signs on the edge of star systems have to be changed…

  • Why do people host RSS?

    Jump

  • I usually read my RSS feeds on my phone. That's fine - I could do this by just subscribing to the sources directly. But every once in a while I want to look up something I read some years ago and I don't quite remember what the article was called and where it was published. Filtering and searching on my desktop is much more convenient and I have my history saved there - even if the blog in question is offline in the meantime. In addition some RSS feeds only send a short text and a "read more" link. With FreshRSS I can configure a feed to automatically load the complete article from the website and in my reader it shows up as if the feed was a real full feed with pictures and everything. I can even compress the pictures to optimize loading as my main reader is my phone.

  • SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times?

    Jump

  • I have two WD Red 3TB with 109.858h and a Samsung SSD 830 256GB with 110.639h on my main workstation (which I built in 2011). That's 12½ years and some extra hours uptime. They are all three fine and still in use.

  • Linkwarden 2.16 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀 [AIP]

    Jump

  • I may be wrong, but it seems to me there is a misunderstanding of what Linkwarden is.

  • If you don't trust the hosted service you can always self-host it.

    If you don't trust yourself…

  • [AIT] paperless-ngx 3.0.0

    Jump

  • That's good to hear. The performance of the UI was always an issue for me.

  • Most of Flathub's AI-generated apps were abandoned within months [XDA, Jul 18, 2026]

    Jump

  • To be fair: This study looked at the repos after flathub had announced to not accept these apps any more. I would say it is surprising that development didn't stop everywhere immediately after that.

  • Removed

    pvectl - a command-line companion for Proxmox

    Jump

  • Looks nice.

    I use this opportunity to leave a short script here that I use almost everyday. It lists my VMs and LXCs in one list and allows me to enter them (not using ssh, but direct console access). After I leave the container it lists all the possible targets again.

  • How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN?

    Jump

  • You should consider the VPN as a part of the protection (and also as a part of an attack vector).

  • xkcd #3266: Holes

    Jump

  • There is a 390m hand dug well? That's crazy…

  • Selfhosted & AI

    Jump

  • I would still prefer an additional [Non-AI] tag. Even if people are arguing against it - it is not same omitting an [AI] tag and consciously saying "I never used and never will use AI". And the latter is the thing most users who want the AI-tag are looking for.

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • Even better: We could mandate every post to put [Moderate This] at the end if they don't follow the rules.

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • Or...we could make it easier for them and make the use of the tag a conscious decision indicating something instead of relying on the mod's voluntary work to correct for an implied meaning.

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • Or that the author didn't know about the rule?

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • But wouldn't that be far more useful? Many people seem to be looking for projects who don't ever touch AI. Devs who use a [No AI] tag show that they follow the same agenda and most likely will not change their opinion on the next release.

  • [META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?

    Jump

  • Having the tags is nice, but I don't think mandating it is the way to go.

    People who hate AI to the bitter end will use a [NOT AI] tag and signalize people who think alike that this status of the project will most likely never change.

    Other people might happily tell everyone the used AI and use the respective tag as well.

    But most people don't care and wouldn't use either. This also means that a project that currently uses no AI, but does not use the tag might do so in the future, which is also an important information - for the AI haters.

  • Rule 2 Clarifications and New Rule proposal

    Jump

  • So everyone just adds a "I'm not working for x" to their posts?

  • Rule 2 Clarifications and New Rule proposal

    Jump

  • I find this too prohibitive. Even with the exception this would make me think twice about a promo post and maybe even refrain me from posting at all. For non-except services it is even worse. It may lead to spam posts or users trying to categorize contributions into useful and not useful posts.

    Self hosting does not end for everyone with free services. Some of us are happy to pay for services provided by others and I would really like to read about these here as well. I know this is not the intention of the rule, but it will be its result.

  • [META] Are paid for, closed source projects, being advertised on this community, appropriate?

    Jump

  • As long as it's self-hosted I don't have a problem with it. Plex is maybe a good example for this. I wouldn't ban Plex questions as long as it isn't just a weekly advertising post. Up- and down voting can handle the rest.
