  I ordered one of these off Ali Express. An oscilloscope app showed it was about 40Hz vibration from the weight on the motor, far far from being ultrasonic. Got a refund, it ended up in the recycling.

  Replying to myself to add…

  This was all while installing this and that dependency and troubleshooting it. Docker was a complication I didn’t want to learn yet.

  And then tinytinyrss moved to docker only which forced my hand. I can say installing Docker and Portainer (as someone who prefers a GUI more than command line) has made self hosting so much easier for me, and hugely reduces the need to think about dependencies.

  Absolutely. I had a similar journey. I started with Yunohost and DietPi. Then plain Raspbian, then plain Debian. Each time nuking and starting from scratch. You learn quickly when you’ve got to retrace the same steps again on a fresh install after messing something up.

  Eventually, I tried and stuck with Proxmox (running a Debian VM) and Proxmox Backup Server. With that, you have your regular backups, and if you mess up, you simply revert to a previous backup version.

  Others will recommend Ansible - I haven’t got that far yet.

  Tasker - for automating anything, everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is everyone using as a HTPC?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was tempted by these n100 mini PCs, but worried about the no-name components. I saw many people on reddit/lemmy recommending Dell, Lenovo, HP micro form factor PCs. You can pick them up used from eBay as companies clear out “old” computers. The advantage of the known brands is ongoing firmware support.

  I don’t use a hearing aid (…yet), but I do find videos difficult when the audio mix has the ‘background’ music too loud relative to the voice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Audiobookshelf also finds, manages, streams podcasts. After Google killed off Google Podcasts, ABS has been an even better replacement in my experience.

  Try the ready made options at rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ , and if your sites aren’t listed, you can use the “CSS Selector Bridge” option there.
