Are you interested in hosting this for people you already know and trust, like friends and neighbors, or am I misunderstanding your use case?

I’ve never tried it myself, but maybe see if Snipe-IT would work for your needs?

From their docs intro:

Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on - although we’ve definitely seen folks using for non-IT asset tracking as well. Oil rigs, theater equipment, even human body parts! (We didn’t ask too many questions about that last one.)

Unfortunately it doesn’t support OIDC.

There’s also the Koha library management system which does support OIDC.

How about a family wiki using something like MediaWiki? Or host music with Navidrome?

I haven’t personally tried it, but Owncast might be an option if your friend knows someone who would be willing to host it. (I’m not sure if that would be considered technically demanding)

I currently push to a private GitHub repository (planning on moving to a self-hosted Forgejo instance soon).

Although making my nix configuration public would be safe anyway since I use sops-nix which encrypts all my passwords in the repo using a key derived from my SSH key. During nixos-rebuild it decrypts them and puts them each in their own text file at /run/secrets, with permissions set so you need sudo to view them. (The permissions can be tweaked as needed)

It was a pain in the neck to get started with initially (like NixOS itself), but it was very much worth it. (Basically a necessity since putting secrets even in a private repo is considered bad practice)

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

It links out to the source webpage, so this might not be what you’re looking for.

Although this might inspire me to build a single page app generator using Astro that does that.

This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

Do you use git? That basically forces you to do some documentation as you go. Multi-line commit messages are often helpful too. (When I first learned git, I only committed using git commit -m which is a bit restrictive in terms of how much you can fit in commit messages)

All my computers (including servers) share the same NixOS Flake. So my documentation consists of:

1. The Nix code itself
2. The commit messages for each change I make
3. Inline comments in the Nix code
4. A few readme.md files to explain the contents of certain directories

You can’t make this stuff up!

AMC made a documentary series about it in 2008

I think copyparty would accomplish that pretty well

• Jellyfin and MediaManager for movies / TV shows
• Navidrome, slskd, and SoulSync for music

Not bad for a first meme. I rate it 6½/10. We’ll be watching your meme career with great interest. 👍

Any advantages over using Seal for Android? Is it primarily for iPhone users?

I’ve recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They’ve been pushing a lot of updates so I’m excited to see where it goes.

I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)
