  • Linkwarden v2.13 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀

    Jump

  • No it doesnt. It leans that way on the official site but self hosters tend to use github or similar rather than official websites.

    Source: Been self hosting it for months for free (I intend to donate to Linkwarden when I do my next round of self host/FOSS donations)

  • Valencia Tram

    Jump

  • The City of Arts and Sciences is an amazing place set near one end of Turia Gardens, a former river bed. We hired bikes & rode through Turia Gardens. Valencia itself is a brilliant city with some great beaches.

    When I visited, the tram lines to City of Arts and Sciences weren't complete, I think due to lack of funds. Glad to see they were able to finish, thanks for sharing.

  • I finally got round to buying the Beelink EQ14 I'd promised myself. Sips electricity & handles 4k content. Can't comment re usage as I havent got round to setting it up yet. I believe it shipped with Win11 but I'll be putting linux on it

  • Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms

    Jump

  • You can't always simply VPN around it. I applied for a job via one of the popular job sites. Tried to log back in to the job site a week later only to to find my account had been blocked until I provide proof of ID to a US based third party company ...I'm in Europe. Spoiler alert: I did not provide proof of ID & so have no idea whether or not I was a suitable applicant for the job.

    Guess i won't be job hunting through that site again. The whole thing is farcical.

  • Which TV brand is the most reliable in your experience?

    Jump

  • Panasonic. Bought current Panasonic TV a few years ago based on the strength of our previous one. Brilliant picture quality on both. Never connected to the interpipes

  • I remember looking at some docs about upgrading versions, but I don't know how to tell which version I have.

    • User icon (top right) > ≡ menu (top left) to open side bar. Current version is displayed at the bottom of the side bar

    As a general rule when installing anything with Docker Compose, rather than using "latest" I prefer to specify a version as it makes it easier to roll back should i find issues with an update.

  • Meet the water sommeliers: they believe H₂O can rival wine – but would you pay £19 a bottle?

  • Great share. These pretentious asshats gave me a hearty belly laugh, thank you

  • [Project] Homebox v0.21.0 Released

    Jump

  • My summer project was to build racking & organise my garage & ive just recently finished it. As with the rest of our house Homebox has been great, your work with Homebox is very much appreciated thank you.

  • Establishing an ideal home drive using raspberry pi 4 model B(xfce)with help of nextcloud

    Jump

  • I use a Pi5 with SSD (running Raspberry OS Lite 64bit). It runs Nextcloud, Nginx, DuckDNS, Docker, Portainer & also syncing Joplin & Memories for other family members to see holiday photos/special events (I run Immich on an alternative server not exposed to www). Only 1 user but its run flawlessly & seems pretty fast to me

  • What do you self host, how, and why?

    Jump

  • I'm anti enshittification & pro digital privacy. A few years back when Evernote started restricting their service & a password manager I'd paid for multiple users for fucked me over it dawned on me that "Big Tech" did not have my best interests at heart. Since that Eureka moment I formed an interest in FOSS & ive not looked back.

    I'm not in IT, 100% self taught. Started with Nextcloud with NGINX. I expose as little as possible, the rest is local only though ive set up Wireguard for external access.

    I self host mostly what everyone else does: Nextcloud, Joplin, Paperless, Immich etc etc. Special shoutout to Homebox which ive found extremely useful when boxing up & organising our roof space & garage. I like to use Docker containers.

    Its become a bit of a hobby & the path led me to the Fediverse. The next step is likely switching fully to Linux

  • I absolutely loved Reddit. Deleted my posts & left after the Spez api farce (Joey on Android you were a good soldier). I occasionally go back there anonymously to check niche subs (using Redlib).

    Reddit is essentially shite now:

    • Endless bots
    • Same crap re-posted repeatedly (describe your cat I'll draw it, 12 shitty manga characters - pick one to fight on your team, this is my cat the last thing you ate is its name etc etc etc
    • The exact same jokes repeated endlessly
    • Reply after reply quoting the next few words of a song lyric
    • Topic replies tend to go way off the rails within 2 posts

    Fediverse seems to be a more knowledgeable/mature crowd. Some great information disseminated. Ive seen some wonderful actual discussions between people with differing points of view asking for further clarification then discussing further. You never see that on Reddit.

    Sure, we could do with a ton more posts & the niche communities continue to struggle but I'd much rather visit Lemmy 2 or 3 times a week than Reddit every day.

  • How to diversify my feed?

    Jump

  • Voyager on Android. I subscribe to as much as I could find that I was interested in. These show in "Home" feed.

    I look through the "All" feed to see whats going on & subscribe to anything relevant, then switch back to "Home" for my individual feed.

    Amirite?

  • What are some good uses for smart phones?

    Jump

  • Some of my favourite mobile centric uses (I'm a FOSS leaning Android):

    • I like to try to ensure most things are available offline: maps, notes, passwords (manager also holds "emergency" documents), media, ebooks, podcasts etc
    • OsmAnd has offline Wiki articles, this is awesome when travelling
    • OsmAnd can be great for finding POI's such as food outlets, toilets etc when travelling (I since extensively mapped my own locality to help visitors by way of thanks)
    • Using stuff I self host synced to various devices: Nextcloud, Joplin, Paperless-ngx, Immich, Jellyfin & a bunch of others
    • whoBIRD is great especially when travelling
    • If WiFi/data is unavailable when travelling away from home, hook the phone up to TV with a hub, HDMI, keyboard with track pad & it becomes a full media system

  • Linkwarden (v2.11.0) - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize, and preserve webpages, articles, and documents (tons of new features!) 🚀

    Jump

  • No major difference its just what works for you. I used Hoarder (KaraKeep) in the early days but found I preferred the Linkwarden UI particularly on mobile so switched. But they're both great.

    Strangely I've found I tend not to use it for everyday bookmarks use (I've put those in a Joplin note). Instead I use Linkwarden for interesting stuff I might need at some point - long read articles or information for projects that I'll be undertaking in the future, be that videos or written guides. You can set folders (topics) & tags for ease of retrieval.

  • What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?

    Jump
    • Randomly removes email addresses I use every day from the auto-complete forcing me to type them literally in full for weeks until it remembers them again.
    • A colleagues name starts "tom..." but it ALWAYS auto-completes with another colleague "tim...". Every single time.
    • Search sucks. Not sure if this particular complaint is just our company setup but for some reason it hides stuff older than a given date "on the server" which means you have to remember exactly where stuff is & open the folder before it displays the contents rendering search pointless. Absolutely hopeless

  • Release 2.1 for DeArrow (a tool that does Crowdsourcing of better titles and thumbnails on YouTube)

    Jump

  • Wouldn't be without it!

  • Alternatives to MZLA Pocket?

    Jump

  • I tried Hoarder (KaraKeep) & Linkwarden. Both excellent but I preferred the UI for Linkwarden, particularly on mobile, so I stuck with that - i found Hoarder awkward to edit thumbnails for example though things may have changed in KaraKeep. From Android perspective both have apps but I prefer to use browser plugin. With Linkwarden there's some hoops to jump through on Android Firefox but it works perfectly once set up. Both excellent choices.
