  • Looking for a software suggestion

    Jump

  • I've been using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It's the one thing I'm not selfhosting, though -- I've been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)

    You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.

  • Minio strips away almost all features from AGPL interface and suggests people use their licensed "AIStor" service instead

  • When Redis messed with their licensing terms a while ago, I thought to myself, "which project that I rely on will be next?" And I kept thinking it was going to be Minio.

    So I switched from Minio to Garage a few months ago and it has worked great. I used the AWS cli to start copying everything over one evening, and when I removed up the next day, it was done. My S3 use is just one giant bucket for my music collection in Funkwhale, so I only had the one command to run. After updating the S3 urls in Funkwhale's configuration, everything was good to go.

    This has all made me start paying closer to attention to what kind of organization is behind the various open source projects that I use. Garage is made by a web development shop in France -- they might even be a coop, or I might be thinking of someone else. I could be wrong about that last part. But they're definitely not a VC-backed operation like Minio.

  • Yeah, a few years ago they advertised themselves as the perfect storage solution for blockchain projects.

  • Whoa, thanks for the heads up. Sifu has been on my list for a while now.

  • I believe Gateway is owned by Dan's Used Tires, a guy that sells tires out of the back of his pickup truck.

  • I think it has those. The phrasing in the article is weird, but it says those are real 5.25" drive bays, not just for looks.

  • As soon as I saw this I thought, "I'd like to have a horizontal one, like a Mac or Compaq from 1995." Turns out, the second sentence says that's what they did last year. (https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/pc-cases/retro-beige-pc-case-goes-from-april-fools-joke-to-retail-silverstones-sleeper-pc-with-modern-internals-ships-in-q1-2025)

    I think it looks great, especially the horizontal one. Lately I've been thinking about putting my current parts into a new case so that I can add a DVD drive. I still have a lot of games from 1999 - 2010ish that are on discs, and I'd like to be able to actually use them.

    Also, my gaming PC is in my living room, like a console. A horizontal case would be perfect for that.

  • What OS should we use?

  • What you are referring to as pedantry, is in fact, semantics/pedantry.

  • Games on medium settings from eight years ago still look amazing in my opinion. Plus, sticking to the older hardware is great way to finally play those games that you bought because they were on sale for $3 that you never even installed. (Don't we all have a few dozen of those?)

  • I installed Grafana, simply because it was the only one I had heard of, and I figured that becoming familiar with it was probably useful from a professional development standpoint.

    It's definitely massive overkill for my use case, though, and I'm looking to replace it with something else.

  • Looks good! Is that both lentils and kidney beans? Sounds like a great combo.

  • That's a very slick setup, nice.

  • I'm guessing that most iPhone users just use Apple Podcasts, and Apple themselves probably want it that way. (E.g. less promotion of third-party podcast apps on the app store.)

  • Pinepods looks so cool! I just created an account on the demo instance. The "smart playlists" feature just absolutely sold me.

  • Oh cool, I wasn't aware of gpodder.net. I actually thought you were talking about the desktop gpodder application, which I had used before. Didn't realize there was a server-side component to it as well. Thanks!

  • 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.
