  • This is really cool. Happy that you included the comments, as I find them often quite insightful. Look forward to spin this up and try it.

    Edit: I know this is really hard to design and implement, but is it possible to bring in certain amount of child comments as-well? E.g., past a certain vote threshold or only X child comments deep. This might be a requirement that want to "move" the social media platform into the RSS feeder, but I want to entertain the idea.

  • There are so many monitoring tools with various degrees of complicated setup / configuration or the amount of information you get. And honestly, I've looked into various tools: checkmk, monit, Prometheus... And realised that I rarely look into that information anyway. Of all "fancy" tools, I liked the ease of Netdata to set up and the amount of information that you get. However, beware that their in the process to make their free / homelad offering worse. I've been eyeing beszel and don't forget CLI based tools that are avaible such as atop, btop, htop or glances.

    If you want to delve deeper into the rabbit hole of monitoring, I can recommend you to read this article below: https://matduggan.com/were-all-doing-metrics-wrong/

  • I've tried different approaches with fail2ban, crowdsec, VPNs, etc. What I settled on is to divide the data of my services in two categories: confidential and "I can live with it leaking".

    The ones that host confidential data is behind a VPN and has some basic monitoring on them.

    The ones that are out in the public are behind a WAF from cloudflare with pretty restrictive rules.

    Yes, cloudflare suck etc., but the value of stopping potential attacks before they reach your services is hard to match.

    Just keep in mind: you need layers of different security measures to protect your services (such as backups, control of network traffic, monitoring and detection, and so on).

  • I like this thread :-)

    I have just checked off a long standing item in my backlog: implementing OIDC on at least two apps. I've used a remote keycloak instance for authention for my household and so far so good. Now I'll try to understand the configurations a little better before take on other items on my backlog.

  • Fully agree, but part of the problem is that the fundamentals that our technology relies on to communicate is arcane (DNS, IP, etc.). The other problem is that were often trying to translate human experiences and needs to a binary and technological format, which cannot be done in simple terms and creates complexity.

    I don't expect us being able to move away from current jank-stack technologies anytime soon.

  • I found the UI to be horrendous, and managing tags was very painful. During the time I was paying for the cloud-service, there wasn't any noticable development of the web-app, so I stopped using it. Mind you, this was pre-pandemic and things might have changed since then.

  • I'm really fond of readeck. After being dissapointed with Pocket and Wallabag, I went with omnivore until they pulled a skiff. Out of all the FOSS read-it-later solutions - it was a very even tie between Shiori and readeck, and I went with the latter since it supports highlights.

  • Swede here who frequents Austria. I agree, and I love drinking the water while hiking in Austria.

    If you visit Sweden, our water is mostly as good as the one in Austria. Some exceptions are Gotland because of high chalk (so? "Kalk") levels.

  • One of the main points of the article is not how it affects one as a individual, but how impacts the very social fabric of our societies. Even if you're spared from the effects of the rot economy, you're surrounded by people who are, and it impact them psychologically which in turn affects their mood, well being and their behavior towards their peers.

    While I don't agree with everything in this article, it has some very important points. The digital services that we use can have an impact on our digital daily lives on par to a governments.

    This isn't a call for every person to save themselves. This is a call to save our peers and our well being on a macro level.

  • Its not about contributing to the map data. There's quite few quality issues with organic maps, from small things in the UI to how it calculates the navigation from A to B. I want to like organic maps, but its still far from usable for me. I do however regularly contribute to OSM - mainly thanks to streetcomplete.
