If you don’t mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.

Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.

Does anyone have access to your machine (local or remote)? This sounds every odd.

Thanks! I’ll check with my vps provider.

However, this proxy does not seem to be “within” the tor network itself, right? I’m just connecting someone to the first entry node on the system, correct?

Would I be transmitting unencrypted data? In other words, would an outsider be able to tell that I’m transmitting something illegal to a person accessing tor?

Thanks! Would you be able to elaborate a bit more?

It was my understanding that this is not the same thing as running an exit node.

I would imagine dampening how much of a boost old posts get would fix this issue.

The non-mainstream social media options will always be the ones with people with more extreme political views (on both sides of the spectrum).

Lemmy has a great deal of tankies. They seem less prominent now, because the influx of people from Reddit diluted them.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Tried searching it using my searxng instance, and I can still find it (still indexed by duckduckgo, yahoo and Alexandria).

Don’t know if has been fixed, but I guess it’s an argument for using metasearch engines: get some redundancy, don’t rely on just one source.

There is 0% chance this man is neither on drugs nor having a severe mental breakdown.

Have you actually used age?

Unlike gpg, encryption of the private key is not default (or straightforward). It also doesn’t have a key management system

Honestly? Probably boredom. Computer-related projects are addictive to me.

Haven’t ventured too far, but searxng was my first selfhosted service. It’s very easy, single container, no database.

I manage them using git and stow.

Stow is very useful, but a bit unknown. Hard to explain in a Lemmy post, but basically it helps you manage symlinks between your git repo directory and your $HOME.

You can “install” and “uninstall” configs by managing the symlinks with stow.

Makes sense, the people who have both the tech knowledge and conviction on the advantages of selfhosting, were probably the most active posters.

You can always compile it, it’s just a single cargo command. 🤷‍♂️

Good to hear that the government is using it.

Taxpayer-funded activities should run on FOSS when possible, in my opinion.

Wait… Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?

Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?

Besides what everyone already said, I would emphasize docker. Just take the plunge and learn it. It will make hosting and keeping things organised much easier.

If you want to go the extra mile, you could have a look into ansible, to make your build reproducible. But it’s probably overkill for now. You’d probably take so long to get anything done that you might lose interest.

Never self-hosted Lemmy, but have self-hosted other things in the past. While you don’t necessarily need to code, you need a fair amount of code-adjacent skills. If you ever want to get into self-hosting, you should have a look into (at least):

• the linux command line
• ssh
• how ports work
• VPS providers
• DNS registrars
• nginx
• docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)

I really don’t want to sound snobbish, but people are really entitled these days.

“Omg you have to pick a server?! I’m going to have to spend more that 30s figuring out how this works? There is no alternative!”

When did everyone become a spoiled toddler? Just calm down, take some time to figure things out, and be patient.
