The only feature I want in FreshRSS is a way to DELETE entries. This is critically important if you’re using RSS feeds for something like Lemmy (or Reddit) where some very NSFW or illegal content gets through before it’s moderated out of the platform. I really don’t want to be archiving that shit!

We had a big ass satillite dish in the backyard when I was growing up, and I remember my dad needing to input these codes every so often to unlock a bunch of channels.

Just got the update. Good timing, because over the last week, I’ve had DOZENS upon DOZENS of IP addresses auto-blocked.

Before that, the last blocked IP address was like in September, so someone/something is probing.

I bought two “Eightree” brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare.

Did you need a Zigbee hub to get them working? I was gifted an Eighttree Zigbee plug with energy monitoring, but it seems to require using a hardware hub :(

OK, I’m going to give this another look!

What couldn’t you get working?

It was erroring out when I tried to set up either Webdav or SMB. Maybe I was setting it up wrong, but I’ve got those things set up on multiple devices and multiple apps without any trouble.

But does it cache, or only stream?

Kind of frustrating that Seagate is the only company to have multiple drives with ZERO failures, but then that 12TB model with over 12% failure… ouch.

That said, I’ve been on Team Seagate IronWolf for years without issues.

My idrive plan went from just over $100 to $250.

I created another account, paid for another year at a promotional price, and then deleted my old account.

I will eventually have to come up with a more sustainable cloud/off site backup now that i need more than just a few TB.

Since this is really my “last resort” backup, I’m not too concerned, as anything that would require me to actually restore from this backup set would likely be catastrophic in a life-ending way.

FressRSS gave me a UI I was looking for on both mobile and desktop, and it “just works”.

My only complaint, and I’m sure this isn’t a feature found anywhere, is that I wish you could actually delete an article, not just “archive it”. Some of the stuff that gets through on RSS is unfiltered NSFW crap, and I really would rather not have that on my home server!

For me, it’s screenshots.

I can’t even count how many self-hosted or open source projects I’ve wanted to check out, and the project page is just text.

If I don’t know exactly what I’m getting into in the first 10 seconds, I’m onto something else, especially when it’s something heavily based on UI/UX with frequent interaction.

EDIT: Also, I’m a fan of docker apps to run off my Synology NAS, but it better come with step-by-step instructions, or I won’t bother. There are some good resources for detailed instructions for various self-hosted/NAS/docker related content, but it’s nice when a project actually has this in their documentation.

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.

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.

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.

Brilliant! That worked!

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!

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 :(

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

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.
