  • What do you host for your finances and why!

    Jump

  • I'm saying this as someone who used Mint for years due to how it integrated with banks so easily.

    I'm currently using Money Manager EX, which is open source. I "self-host" the database file on my NAS, and simply open the file through MM EX' Windows program.

    Since it's just a simple database (encrypted, of course), it's easy to back up.

    Now, I lost the ability to automatically sync with my bank. This was a blessing in disguise, since it forced me to go over each transaction carefully.

    Granted, Mint had me doing the same, but because I spent a lot of time removing duplicates and fixing errors in their sync system. LOL

    MM Ex has been very easy to use, and I don't see a need to self-host the software itself.

  • redlib (reddit) & Huginn

  • Been using it recently after switching from Libreddit.

    Pro tip: you can use the LibRedirect extension for Firefox to point to the IP address that you self-host, and it's very seamless.

  • Self-Hosting Isn't a Solution; It's A Patch

    Jump

  • Nah, self-hosting is still a solution. And when I self-host, I don't even need an internet connection to access my files, movies, photos, security cameras, etc.

    Yes, we can fix privacy laws, and put in a lot of faith that they will be followed or that our data won't be lost/sold. But I think everyone benefits when they are in control of their own data.

    What we need are more accessible self-hosting options so that even computer n00bs can set up and cut ties with these mega corps.

  • DOJ says Google must sell Chrome to crack open its search monopoly

    Jump

  • Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, Google is highly unethical, and I avoid any and all Google related products whenever possible.

    Selling Chrome, however, doesn't really stop them from doing damage.

    The part about not allowing them to bribe pay other companies to use their search is a much better idea.

    And regarding their influence over the internet... we need stronger regulation to prevent any company from having that much control over an essential service.

  • DOJ says Google must sell Chrome to crack open its search monopoly

    Jump

  • Um, that wouldn't change if Google "sells Chrome", though.

    Firefox uses Google Search as a default, so does every Samsung phone (and most other Android devices).

    Unless the DOJ is telling everyone not to implement a default search engine (and let the user decide upon first opening the browser), then who owns Chrome really doesn't change much.

    Other remedies the government is asking the court to impose include prohibiting Google from offering money or anything of value to third parties — including Apple and other phone-makers — to make Google’s search engine the default,

    This is the only thing that makes sense, but "sell Chrome" is a laughable request.

  • What does Chrome have to do with search? 🤔

  • Synology hurries out patches for zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own

  • Brilliant! That worked!

  • Synology hurries out patches for zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own

    Jump

  • This was one of the rare times I installed a firmware update without waiting. They even sent an email telling me how urgent it was to get my NAS patched.

  • To that note, anyone have any idea how to get Hyper Backup to stop telling me that my backups are "partial" because Video Station is no longer found? It's not even on the list of apps, but tells me that it's been disabled as an option to back up because it's not available. Annoying!

  • What are the best e-mail providers out there?

    Jump

  • I can vouch for Mailbox, too.

    It's also easy to get it set up on third part email clients.

  • Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory

    Jump

  • Yeah, because google is vague.

    Not sure what "100" means, but that's what it peaked at.

  • Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages | November 2024 Update - Browser synchronization, custom icons, custom preview image, and more! 🚀

    Jump

  • Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing "choose your country", cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

    I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

    Compared to something like the FF extension "SingleFile", I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

  • Didn’t Democrats raise a record amount of money this election cycle? And they were supposed to use it to get out the vote?

    Harris only had months of campaigning, while Trump had over a year. That alone put her at a massive disadvantage, since much of the vote is often decided (in people's minds) well before the elections.

    But the reality is, as long as 50%+ are OK being in a cult run by an incoherent madman, they'll ignore the self-harm and keep voting the same way.

  • 2024 Presidential Election Megapost!

  • I guess we can only hope that the leopards absolutely massacre those who gave him this power. Democracy will fall all over the world because of this, and his groupies won't have a pot to piss in once his “concepts” are put into action.

  • Preferred RSS/Newsfeed Reader Solutions?

  • I've been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.

  • Self-hosting LLMs

    Jump

  • You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/

    You'll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.

    edit: holy hell. Grammar.

  • It doesn’t matter what he says.

    It really doesn't. Just watch a rally, in full, and try to summarise one topic he addressed. Just one.

    You can't, because he babbles incoherently. He knows nothing about any of the topics that he stumbles into.

    The only time his words can be understood, provided he doesn't go off script, is when he's reading what someone else wrote for him!

  • Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host

    Jump

  • The number one thing that most of these don't do well for me is the connection with banks.

    A bit of an anecdote, but i was a long-time user of Mint, which integrated with all my banks and credit cards, which was nice.

    When I decided to selfhost, I was disappointed that bank syncing wasn't a thing, or it had these roundabout ways of working, or they simply didn't support the banks and credit cards i use.

    So... I ended up wity Money Manager EX.

    Once i did the initial importing of my records, everything since has been manually entered.

    Now, this might seem tedious depending on how many transactions and accounts you manage, but it's really not.

    Depending on how often you update your records, you can do an easy export/import of your transactions from your bank (usually a csv export). Doing this once a month isn't terrible.

    I just manually enter all my transactions. Yes, more work, but also less frustration and it makes me feel more in touch with my spending.

    Even not having to worry about the hassle of syncing not working, or having to fix things like that is a huge weight off my shoulders.

    Anyway, just wanted to share my experience because bank syncing shouldn't be a make-or-break thing.

  • 4 or more hours of daily screen time linked to more anxiety and depression in teens, data shows

    Jump

  • Just wait until everyone is forced to wear screens on their faces 24/7, because that's the way tech companies want us to live. I'm not being sarcastic, either.

    There's a reason why so many people consciously choose to “disconnect” when they want a mental break. If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?
