Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.

What about Nextcloud? It’s heavier than syncthing, but would be an alternative.
- Comment on Self Hosted Trello with experience? 1 week ago:
I went through a bunch before settling on Kanboard. If you try kanboard, there are some plugins/themes to make it look nicer.
In the end though, I ended up moving away from it. Would be curious what you end up using!
- Comment on Garage - S3-compatible Object Storage alternative to Minio 1 week ago:
I really like it. I don’t use it for much, but it’s super easy to have multiple servers in multiple locations and let it take care of replication.
It seemed like it was built more for the self hosting and homelab crowd and not enterprises.
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 1 week ago:
But that’s also something easily programmed/scripted. How would you tell the difference?
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 1 week ago:
Yep, you can install it directly on the proxmox host too.
Just make sure you test it and also test upgrades so you can avoid having to be on-site for those.
- Comment on Github Discussion: Allow us to block Copilot-generated issues (and PRs) from our own repositories #159749 2 weeks ago:
I dont remember the name of it, but there were tools that could store issues inside of git. It’d be hard to keep it in sync with everybody without a central repo, but maybe not much harder than keeping the code in sync too.
- Comment on TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo 2 weeks ago:
Lemmy is all public. There’s no private timelines, so any 2way block would be superficial anyway right? A blocked user can just log out, or use a different account on a different instance. It’d give people a false sense of security if anyone said bidirectional blocking was a thing.
Something like Twitter could have bidirectional blocking because you can also make all of your posts private.

Who (which single entity) would host this new front page?
- Comment on Secrets Management 2 weeks ago:
Is it a single server? Maybe something like sops is all you need
There’s an oss fork of vault now as well. Openbao.
- Comment on self hosted browser sync? 3 weeks ago:
I forgot about librewolf. Any downsides to it over Firefox?
- Comment on Fediverse Searching 3 weeks ago:
Any idea how it knows which sites to look through? It’d be cool to have it prefer your own home instance in results.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
One of the lemmy devs is also working on a federated wiki. On mobile, so no link, but i think it’s Ibis?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
Would you prefer something limited to searching federated content, or something closer to yacy where it crawls normal websites too?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
I’m happy to see people post about something cool they found, like some new software or whatever. Even if everyone else already knows about it and no one interacts, it’s not useless information.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
I’d be curious if schools still teach kids how to look things up in books, or if writing reports is now a thing they ask chatgpt to do

- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 4 weeks ago:
I think gnucash looking more like actual accounting software is one of the things that originally put me off of it. I didn’t know what double-entry accounting was at the time either.
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 4 weeks ago:
Totally fair. When you have a lot of history in an app and don’t have any real issues with it, it takes a lot to want to switch to something else.
Do you import transactions at all, or just manually input them?
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 4 weeks ago:
I switched from ledger to beancount at some point. I don’t really remember what features beancount had over ledger anymore though.
My plan is to try a few of the other suggestions here like Maybe, Actual, Ghostfolio, etc, and if I don’t end up liking them - just bite the bullet and make the effort to pick up beancount again. I’ll have to check out ledger vs beancount again though and see what the actual differences were again.
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 5 weeks ago:
What was cumbersome around tagging/categorizing in Maybe? I’m probably going to have to install all of the ones I’m interested in at the same time to test them side by side
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 5 weeks ago:
Have you tried any of the other options by any chance? Anything that GNUCash does well that keeps you using it? I think not having mobile access would be the thing I’d miss the most
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 5 weeks ago:
I tried Actual before, but I don’t remember what I didn’t like about it. I’ll take another look at it. The budgeting part does remind me of YNAB.
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 5 weeks ago:
Oh wow, Maybe does look pretty slick and covers most of what I want. It looks like it supports importing transactions automatically (without csv files?) but I don’t see much about how that’s configured for hte self-hosted version yet. I’ll definitely try it out.
Paisa looks pretty nice too. I might try it if I can import/convert my old beancount ledger files into it.
- Comment on Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me 5 weeks ago:
Is reddit filtering out lemmy links or something? There’s already a lot of domains to choose from
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen skrooge before, thanks. I was looking for a web app but I guess that isn’t really a hard requirement. I did try gnucash before and didn’t spend enough time learning how to use it. If skrooge is simpler, I’ll try it out.
Kasmvnc looks really cool too even if I don’t use it for this.
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 5 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure i read that the dev didn’t want to add support for investment tracking.
I didn’t realize it has plug-ins though, I might give it another shot. Worst case I could use it for everything except investments and find something else for the rest…
Do you add transactions manually or import them somehow?

- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone else compare it to SWG, so it might be hopeful lol.
PvP isn’t supposed to be a requirement afaik. It does sound like it’s more helpful to have people in a party vs playing solo though.

I completely forgot private swg servers exist. Maybe I’ll try to find one and give it a try
