  • Looks so elegant. This has got to be the most minimalist keyboard set up ever. I might look into those switches for myself -- I've been wanting to have a keyboard that I could bring to a coffee shop or library.

    What do you use for listening to podcasts?

    I use Funkwhale for my music collection and had my podcasts in there for a while. However, I ended up not listening to my podcasts very much since they were hidden among my much larger music collection.

    So I moved my podcasts feeds to FreshRSS, which I was already using for RSS feeds. I like the simplicity of using something that I already had, but it doesn't have any podcast-specific features like being able to resume where you left off.

    Do you have any podcast listening apps that you like?

    *edit: I should add that I originally meant "self-hostable applications for storing your podcast subscriptions," but these phone app recommendations are great to have, too. I might just ditch the server-side of this entirely and just use a separate app on my devices for listening. It would be nice if I only had to subscribe in one place and be able to pick up where I left off across multiple devices, though.

  • Its presentation might seem dated now (especially compared to the ones you listed), but Morrowind was the first game that really sucked me into its world. It was also the first open-world RPG that I had played, so I was extra blown away by how new that was. Even without that novelty, though, I think it does a great job of presenting an interesting world with multiple stories playing out in it.

    It also isn't voice acted...you'll be reading a lot of dialog. I almost like it more that way, though. Some of the characters have a lot more to say than they do in Oblivion or Skyrim, probably because they didn't have to record anything with voice actors.

    The Batman: Arkham series also has a great story going for it. It really makes you feel like you are reading a DC comic book.

  • Yeah, the CEO of Kagi being hyped about AI made me worried about its future as well. I think you can disable all of that, but I want a search engine that is being built by people whose goal is to help me find things that real people, and real people only, have written.

    With a paid search engine, it's hard to see a way around the problem of needing an account, unfortunately. Maybe it could just be an API key? Mullvad VPN does something like that. You have no username or password, just a long ID that you need to keep secret. And they are disposable -- you can just stop using it and buy a different API key next month.

  • Eventually, a subscription-based tier that removes all advertisements completely for those who prefer an entirely ad-free experience.

    When I first heard about Kagi, I thought that paying for a search engine was crazy. Now that I've had a few months to think about it, I would absolutely pay for a search engine. It's literally the most useful type of service on the internet, and it'd be a great, user-oriented way of supporting Waterfox. (Plus, every other search engine is enshittifying so freaking fast nowadays.)

    Waterfox Search worked well for me this morning. Results were what I was looking for, and were literally no different from DuckDuckGo, Google, or Bing. It does seem to be down right now, though. Hopefully that's because everyone was so eager to try it out. :)

  • I use wallabag.it for this. I don't actually self host it, I've been a paying subscriber to the maintainer's hosted service for a few years now and I've had no complaints. It hasn't had many new features lately, but it does do what I want it to.

    It doesn't capture comments in fediverse threads (see here: https://app.wallabag.it/share/6813d1f1616096.02317152 ), and there are some websites where it doesn't detect the contents of the article, but it does work the vast majority of the time.

    I'm not sure what you could do about a Nextcloud integration. You can export articles as epubs and pdfs; I've done that a few times and put the exported files on my Nextcloud server. But there are also a bunch of wallabag apps for your different devices, which is what I use to read articles on those devices.

    edit: Oh, I forgot to add that you can generate an RSS feed of your unread articles. So that could be added to Nextcloud's RSS reader.

  • You can think of Docker as something that lets you run all of your self-hosted services inside of their own virtual machine. To each service, it looks like that service is running on its own separate computer. (A Docker container is not actually a virtual machine, it's something much faster than that, but I like to think about it the same way. It has similar advantages.)

    This has a few advantages. For example, if there is a security vulnerability in one of your services, it's less likely to affect your whole server if that vulnerable service is inside of a Docker container. Even if the vulnerability lets an attacker see files on your system, the only "system" they can see is the one inside of the Docker container. They can't look at anything else on the rest of your actual computer, they can only see the Docker "virtual machine" that you created for that one service.

  • I love the way this looks! Is that some kind of UI library, or did you design it that way?

    I have my music collection in Funkwhale now, which relies on metadata for organizing the library. But I want to check this out anyway -- maybe I'll create a few folders for specific listening cases.

  • Piefed tells you how much time you've spent on it at the bottom of the page and I genuinely appreciate it. (Also a great example of something that a profit-driven social media site would never do.)

  • Looks so cool! Hope you like using it. I just bought an ebook reader a couple weeks ago to try the exact same thing you were doing. I already had a Planck keyboard, and went for a larger ebook reader instead of the Palma. (Although the Palma does look so slick.) If I stick with it, I might end up replacing it with one of these "modern typewriter" devices like you did. Lately I've been liking the idea of having more purpose-specific devices that I use, instead of everything being basically an Android phone in different form factors.

  • Yeah, literally all of mine these days are trying to go to /wp_admin.php and /phpmyadmin.

    Side note: this made me think, "I wonder how the phpMyAdmin project is doing these days," and wow, all of their corporate sponsors are online vape shops and places to buy fake social media followers. (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/) What the heck is going on there? I know that funding open source projects is almost impossible, so I understand taking whatever money you can get. But it looks pretty bad when phpMyAdmin is a huge target for bots trying to steal your database, and then the entire project seems to be sponsored by companies that need emails and passwords to create fake social media activity.

  • Wow, that looks fantastic! I like the light/dark pattern, almost like piano keys.

    Also, I didn't immediately see which community this post was from, and for a second or two I thought it was a little piece of cake from one of the foodie comms. It does look delicious...
