Hexbear? I wasn’t expecting that.

Apologies to hexbear users that I may have called Chinese bots. You were just useful idiots after all.

Sounds like a full time job. Must be exhausting.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Polyamory is already mainly an upper class thing.

You are hard-pressed to find poly groups in rural areas and blue collar workers. It’s usually first-world college educated urbanites.

Fascinating country.

It’s worth more than one visit, just due to its huge diversity. Food is amazing, and it’s very lively. But you have to get used to it, and go with the flow. If you can’t live without all the first world luxuries and/or don’t feel comfortable stepping outside your bubble, don’t go, it’s not the place for you.

Would I live there? No. And I’m deeply saddened by the political direction it’s heading in. But don’t form opinions about countries you’ve never been to.

He looks like Patrick from SpongeBob.

I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.

I used ansible (and pass to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):

- name: Deploy Wallabag database
  community.docker.docker_container:
    name: db_wallabag
    image: mariadb
    recreate: true
    state: started

    log_options:

      max-file: "1"
    env:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
    volumes:

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
      interval: 20s
      timeout: 3s

Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy

- name: Upload Caddyfile
  ansible.builtin.copy:
    src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile
    dest: ~/Caddyfile

- name: Deploy caddy
  community.docker.docker_container:
    image: caddy:2
    name: caddy
    user: "1000:1000"
    recreate: true
    state: started
    memory: 500MB
    restart_policy: always
    log_options:
      max-size: "10m"
      max-file: "1"
    links:
    - "wallabag:wallabag"
    ports:
    - "80:80"
    - "443:443"
    volumes:
    - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
    - ~/caddy_data:/data
    - ~/caddy_config:/config

And this is the Caddyfile

my.url.com {
    reverse_proxy wallabag:80
}

Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.

You’re welcome!

Wallabag.

I self-host my own instace, save articles I want to read from my laptop, and then they sync with the app on my phone. I read them offline when I have some time to kill

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.

It runs inside a docker container, so you could even have it locally (if you don’t want to host it on a VPS).

First world tankie LARPer.

You’re welcome. :)

Change your settings.yml to have this

enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

And then define the rules like this:

hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

SearXNG.

It’s like having a search engine customised to my needs.

Automatically filters out SEO junk sites, and redirects links automatically (e.g. reddit.com -> old.reddit.com)

The fact that you’re getting downvoted means that you’re on topic.

In SearXNG you can redirect, or block domains (but you still need to define them). You need to enable the “Hostname replace” pluging in the setting.yaml

enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

And then define the rules like this:

hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

Added to the filters. Thanks!

I would already not click it when searching for news, might as well automate it.

Those ublock lists are interesting. Will definitely be stealing them for my searxng config.

Thanks!

By versatility, I’m also including the ecosystem. Julia doesn’t seem to be anywhere near python on that.

However, I’ve heard good things, it’s on my to-do list.
