IMO, I think my answer here is really the same for all of my self-hosted apps: I want to control the flow of the data myself and not be upset when an app we use every day is retired or changed or just enshittifies over time. And this way, I know nobody is in between me and the news publisher. They can see what I read but nobody else is watching over that process in the middle.

I was a loyal Inoreader fan for many years before switching to FreshRSS on my server and I won’t go back. That’s a great service but self hosting any app is just better.

Thanks for the heads up

PRAGMATA

I got a copy of PRAGMATA for my b’day so I’m playing that. It’s not yet “patient” but it’s fun still. I am having graphics issues on Linux but hope they get fixed with Nvidia driver updates someday. Game gives me a similar feeling like Titanfall 2 single player.

Yah, or Slink maybe.

I want to run dawarich on my public VPS but I don’t trust myself to nail it down properly. I can’t decide whether my own location tracking app getting hacked is worse than google location sharing or not.

Have you checked with the pikapod support team and/or help pages? They’ve really helped me it in the past.

Does that help, for instance?

Man, the BasicSync app has a long list of permissions…

Why does it need to know my Location?
