iDrive e2 with duplicati and manually to an external SSD with rscyn every so often.

I was planing on asking a friend to setup a server at their home, but I feel somewhat comfortable with the current solution.

My question would be, if you’re only archiving repos, why do you need a forge?
A simple git clone <repo> to any your archival directory would be enough to store them, there’s no need for you to use a forge software.

Are there any other features of gitea you use?

Yeah, it was $2.5/tb/month, now it’s $4.1/tb/month.
Still cheaper than backblaze’s $6 which seems the only other option everyone suggests, so it’ll have to do for the moment.

FreshRSS has been amazing, as you said, other readers have other goals in mind and seems RSS is just an add-on.

On Android’s also there are no good clients, I’ve been using the PWA which is good enough.
There are several extensions for mobile menu improvements, I have Smart Mobile Menu, Mobile Scroll Menu and Touch Control (it works great on Firefox, but not on brave, it’s too sensitive there, so YMMV).

There’s also ReadingTime, but there are feeds which don’t send the whole body of the post, so you might only see a 1minute read because of that.

The extension AutoTTL processes the feeds and makes them update only when it’s more likely for them to get new items instead of every X minutes configured by FreshRSS.
Still there’s a problem when the MaxTTL happens, all feeds are allowed to be updated and you might hit some rate limits, so I developed a rate limiter. Still there’s a problem with AutoTTL because how extensions are loaded and with the http code reported by FreshRSS.

I found this project which receive the emails of newsletters and turns them into a RSS feed, I’ve only used it for one feed and I’ve only received one entry, not sure if the newsletter is that bad or if the site struggles to receive/show them. Haven’t tried something it.

There’s also this repo linking a lot of sites with feeds, and some sites which don’t offer feeds directly are provided via feedburner (which seems it’s a Google service and wikipedia says "primarily for monetizing RSS feeds, primarily by inserting targeted advertisements into them", so use those at your own discretion) https://github.com/plenaryapp/awesome-rss-feeds

Just for privacy reasons?
I can decouple the traffic fingerprinting of some sites, like amazon, youtube, reddit, etc.
And because I have a squid proxy router through the vpn set up via a couple of docker containers, I have a firefox container to always send the traffic over the proxy which allows me to easily search for stuff outside and inside the vpn.

Aside from that I also use the proxy to send requests in scripts over the vpn so my real IP doesn’t get rate limited.
And what VPNs are actually for: looking for geo-blocked content.

I’ve always used them as a bookmark, specially now they have lists.
There are projects with tens of thousands of stars but with commits from 2-3 years ago, with only dependabot commits, or with 0 issues but every last closed one is from stalebot because the owner doesn’t care to maintain the repo.

Stars are not a way to know if a repo is good.

I’d say it’s one thing and better to be tracked only at account level than to be tracked at traffic level.

So you know only your history in the site can be used as opposed to any other form of fingerprinting the sites might use at browser, cookies, or ip level.

The video in YT and the music played in YTMusic are two different uploads, you can easily get one in YT by checking the YTM URL and getting the ID. So yeah, yt-dlp should get you only the song if you created a playlist with only songs instead of music videos.

That’s a weird read having in mind I had to move to Wayland because x11 had severe screen tearing. I would have guessed Wayland had better support.

IIRC this was already addressed and should be automatic.
There was an issue specifically mentioning GDPR and the devs implemented a way to automatically delete the data of an account within the given time.

It’s not a GDPR request in itself, but AFAIK a normal delete account request should be compliant… INAL

Why do you need the files in your local?
Is your network that slow?

I’ve heard of multiple content creators which have their video files in their NAS to share between their editors, and they work directly from the NAS.
Could you do the same? You’ll be working with music, so the network traffic will be lower than with video.

If you do this you just need a way to mount the external directory, either with rclone or with sshfs.

The disks on my NAS go to sleep after 10 minutes idle time and if possible I would prefer not waking them up all the time

I think this is a good strategy to not put additional stress in your drives (as a non-expert of NAS), but I’ve read the actual wear and tear of the drives is mostly during this process of spinning up and down. That’s why NAS drives should be kept spinning all the time.
And drives specifically built for NAS setups are designed with this in mind.

There’s a difference between water and liquid.

Not sure if the solid core has more mass than the mantle.
In any case, I’d say it’s like a balloon with something solid floating in the middle.

IIRC: webp webm file extensions, and VP8/VP9 video format.

IIRC they mentioned is next to impossible without actually processing the video and guessing when then ad stops on your client (since the ads will change per user, so it can’t be done on a server for all users)

Yes, most podcasts are hosted outside of your podcast player and distributed via RSS (even if this is Spotify which already hosts music).
So when a service has the podcast it means it lists the response from the RSS feed, but usually they just copy the text data, including the URL where the actual audio is stored.
This audio is served by whatever other service the creator of the podcast uses, which means you’re a free user to that service even if you pay for Spotify, which means the wonderful benefit of ads.

And these are ads you can’t block since they’re included in the audio stream (yay! /s).
Podverse (the player I use) mentions this as an issue when creating clips of the podcasts because they can’t know how much the timestamp has been offset by those ads, so your clip probably only sounds good to you.

As long as you mean a landslide win by a party lead by a guy who said a religious charm was better during the pandemic than any medication, vaccine or any countermeasure, a guy who said “women deserve to go to heaven” when asked if he’s feminist, a guy who has said all the power should be concentrated in the government, not in independent entities, a guy who said eolic turbines make the landscape ugly, and who made two big investments in refineries during his administration… Yeah, it’s a good thing to see the left-wing in the power.

She IS AMLO’s administration, there was no word from her before he said something about anything during her campaign.

AMLO had said since the beginning of his term he was going to disappear from the public to his state after today, but earlier this year he said he would come back if the circumstances demanded it, and just last month I think he said he will stay around.

I don’t wish her luck, I wish México luck.

No, it doesn’t suit the needs of the country, it suits the needs of the political party of the president.

Everyone with half a brain agrees this is bad and will make any judge bound by their promises in campaign (ha, more like the promises to their party and promoter) and allow any one to do the job of someone that should have good qualifications.

Those are silent, they’re there for history reasons.

Ohhh! Now I understand!

Yeah, then that’s an issue on mastodon.
I mentioned some time ago, the fact that mastodon and Lemmy use the same protocol is annoying, because the experiences are different, so it causes a lot of issues :/
