Simplest tool to maintain local mirrors of git repos?
  • git-sync looks like it does at you're looking for.

  • Which link/bookmark manger do you prefer, and why?
  • Oh, nice. Saving the link's content is exactly the feature I've been looking for.

  • Any advantage to using something self-hosted, like Komga, in Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi)?
  • As someone who was also recently looking for a multi device alternative for mihon/tachiyomi, I highly recommend Suwayomi. It's even somewhat compatible with Mihon. It can use the same extension repos and you can restore Mihon backups in Suwayomi, which makes the migration pretty smooth.

  • Nephele WebDAV server for Docker
  • Username on github seems to be the same as on Docker Hub: https://github.com/sciactive/nephele

  • Every Time
  • "Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

  • Harness launches Gitness, an open-source GitHub competitor
  • Codeberg isn't an entirely new forge. It's just a well-known gitea/forgejo instance. Sourcehut would probably be a better example.

  • Mullvad and Tailscale Announce Partnership
  • From what I've read you need it for Bittorrent or at least the chance of failed downloads is higher without it.

  • Looking for a guide for installing Matrix server on Docker with Traefik
  • Definitely worth it IMO. There's a lot of parts involved in a Matrix setup and this playbook handles them all for you. Just make sure to have a look at the changelog whenever you update your installation. If there are any changes that require manual steps, it usually explains those steps quite well.

  • A entry-based password manager?
  • Security is only one part of it. If you host a password manager yourself then things like availability, backups, disaster recovery and monitoring also become your responsibility. I'm hosting my own vaultwarden but there is only a very limited amount of people I would suggest self hosting a password manager to, because I know they have the knowledge to do it and understand the risks.

  • A entry-based password manager?
  • Well, only if you host it in the cloud. Not if you host it at home, for example.

  • A entry-based password manager?
  • If I understand it correctly, the passwords are stored encrypted, but not the additional data, like website-URLs and app-names. This way the password manager only needs to temporarily decrypt a specific password when it's needed for auto-fill. In regards to the passwords that's probably a bit safer than keeping all the data and the passwords unencrypted in memory. But the cost is that all the other data is stored unencrypted.

  • Stellar Federation Address | Federated Finance
  • Personally I don't like the whole crypto coins scene much but if you're interested in an open social network with ties to crypto, have a look a nostr.

  • What is a good software to selfhost porn
  • I think Stash should cover most of your points, except for the page-less scroll: https://github.com/stashapp/stash The only other software I know for this is Porn Vault: https://gitlab.com/porn-vault/porn-vault

  • We are starting with the BS so early huh Threads?
  • If you want to delete something that is part of your Google account, then yes. Like your Gmail address. But not if you want to delete your account in an entirely different service, that only uses Google for the login. I guess the problem is, that Threads is perceived (and maybe also marketed) as an independent service while it's apparently just part of your Instagram account.

  • We are starting with the BS so early huh Threads?
  • By that logic you'd have to delete your Google account if you want to delete any account for which you have used Google to login.

  • Changing accounts before posting or upvoting
  • I use Fedilab for the Twitter-like part of the Fediverse and it has a nice feature, where you long-press the button for reply, star or boost and then you can choose as which account you want to do it.

  • Facebook alternative?
  • Oof. Just had a quick look at it. It's like 90% crypto content. And lot of it are obvious scams to steal your coins.

  • [Question] Immich vs LibrePhoto
  • I'm currently looking for a software to host my images and I found this table quite helpful to compare features: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

  • Why I probably won't defederate from Threads
  • While I agree that it is probably better to not defederate them right from the start, I believe that the Fediverse might not have that much leverage. This recent blog post about the history of XMPP describes it pretty well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

    As expected, no Google user bated an eye. In fact, none of them realised. At worst, some of their contacts became offline. That was all. But for the XMPP federation, it was like the majority of users suddenly disappeared. Even XMPP die hard fanatics, like your servitor, had to create Google accounts to keep contact with friends. Remember: for them, we were simply offline. It was our fault.

    Of course it's different because this is social media and not just 1:1 privat messages. But for us to actually have some leverage/impact we have to generate a lot of (good) content so that Threads users will actually notice and complain if that content "vanishes". And at the same time we must not become too dependent on their content
