  • Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden

    Jump

  • I came to bitwarden because we needed to share passwords with my SO and the way those replicate seamlessly on all our devices (desktop, laptop, iOS, Android) is a no brainer. Since bitwarden/vaultwarden is full self-hostable and open-source, I don't see why I would pass on its convenience.

  • New community request community

    Jump

  • Ahh, that's good to know. Perhaps a mention of this in the original post might help some lost lemmians such as myself :-)

  • New community request community

    Jump

  • /u/Ategon , seems like the links lead to an error page, is this still the recommended way of requesting a community creation?

  • Tempus v4.2.4 android subsonic client release

    Jump

  • Glad to hear that! That's an area of dsub which I appreciate: it's pretty clear what's cached offline and not, transitioning to offline is one tap away, and caching whole sub-trees of the library is easy and convenient. As a frequent flyer, I get that I might be an atypical user, but I rely on this very much.

  • WhatsApp is launching third-party chat support across EU Countries, which means you can now ditch WhatsApp for an EU alternative: BirdyChat from Latvia.

  • Element says lots of things.

  • Tempus v4.2.4 android subsonic client release

    Jump

  • Looks like it was caused by the "size of streaming cache" which I had set to 0 under the assumption/hope it would mean "unlimited". Though I had to log out and back on for album art to effectively reappear.

  • Tempus v4.2.4 android subsonic client release

    Jump

  • Glad this project is alive and well! For strange reasons, covers are not displayed in-app (replaced by a generic placeholder) but do appear in the android media related screens (media controls, lock screen, etc).

  • opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included

    Jump

  • You seem angry. It's just too bad you couldn't funnel this energy into learning and configuring nextcloud to your needs. It is actually pretty lean when you set it up properly. Anyhow, happy you found something you liked eventually.

    what do you think about the humanoid robots going mainstream in 2026

    Jump

  • They are going mainstream the same way fully autonomous cars are: in the wildest dreams of tech oligarchs on a deregulation crusade. Humanoid robots are actually a tougher problem to crack, and this coming up now is rather the sign of AI investors desperate to diversify out of language models, so when THAT bubble eventually pops, I'm not sure how much will remain of humanoid bots either.

  • Release 1.17.0 · flatpak/flatpak

    Jump

  • Not OP but I like that we can finally install from a URL (better late than never, heh)

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • There is no dedicated native mobile app yet (though there is a bounty for it), so the mobile experience happens via a PWA that is decent for browsing and quick editing, but lacks offline support

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • If you need semantic notes with typing and structure, nothing beats https://triliumnotes.org/ IMO/E

    The pace of the project is moreover very high these days

  • The end of tt-rss.org

    Jump

  • End-to-End Encrypted Chat that YOU Control: Hosting XMPP (Jabber) with Prosody

    Jump

  • Prosody is a great piece of software, and so is ejabberd which offers some perks. I can't speak for the other servers (mongooseim, openfire, tigase, ...) which I haven't tried in a long time,

    All that's to say that it's amazing that we get so many well maintained and compatible servers (and clients) implementations in XMPP-land, and all the implications for its healthy future.

  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

    Jump

  • I mean, a mechanical timer costs, like, 3 bucks in any currency and lets you set charge and discharge cycles. Add 10 bucks and you have one that you can pilot via REST API.

  • Don't rip out the battery, that's free UPS!

  • If there's nothing utterly specific from the nextcloud ecosystem that you absolutely need, no, Synology has you covered

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • You seem to be obsessed with optimising one resource at the expense of others.

    If you want to push it and paint me as obsessed about something, then let it be this: providing this community with on-topic and reasonable advice

    you’re only going to save a few MB of RAM.

    This is false, and you should read once again my previous message illustrating why: on a decent "self-host"-friendly machine, the same software may work very well, or not at all, depending on whether the user would engage with very basic configuration. This goes beyond RAM (memory isn't the sole shared resource), and I'm adamant that the alternative (which was "pretending that the problem doesn't exist" turned into "throwing money at the problem") is unreasonable.

    On the other hand, if you’re doing it to learn more about computers then it might be worthwhile. This is a community of hobbiests, after all…

    Or more importantly: the extent to which you can self-host out of sheer luck and ignorance like you suggest is very limited. If you don't want to engage with a minimum amount of configuration, you might bump into security issues (a much broader and complex subject) long before any of the above has a material impact.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • I’m saying this based on real world experience

    And do you think I would spend my time engaging if that wasn't from my own very "real world experience" of lessons learned the hard way?

    Bringing-up "diminishing returns" as if this was an optimisation game also doesn't do this justice. Take the typical "household FOSS package" with software names often brought up in here: a nextcloud instance, a photo-sharing service like immich, private instant messaging, a software forge, a subsonic-compatible audio/video streaming server, a couple php websites like wallabag and RSS aggregators.

    An Intel Atom CPU and 4GB of RAM is plenty sufficient for all that, and will cost you single digit USD a month, granted you put the (one-time) effort to tune and balance those services. Would you run all the above from upstream's docker files, I can guarantee you that you would deem this (perfectly fine otherwise) server underpowered for the task at hand (and would probably go for a 10th gen or so Intel Core CPU, quadruple the RAM and 3-6× the energy cost in the process).

    And that's the point I'm making here: a self-hosting community of tinkerers should (ideally) know better, for the ethics' sake of keeping the process environmentally friendly, and not wasting other people's money.
