thejevans , 1 month ago to Free and Open Source Software in Suggest unto me a new FOSS operating system

I've been running NixOS on my framework laptop for almost a year now. I'm a huge fan.

The only thing I couldn't get working was a flake + home-manager-as-a-module + sway setup, but I haven't tried for 6 months or so.

Currently running flake + home-manager-as-a-module + COSMIC and it's fantastic.

I'm running Nobara on my gaming PC, and was originally planning to switch to Bazzite if anything broke, but now I'm working on prepping my NixOS config for gaming.

thejevans , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in What Calendar and To Do solution do you recommend?

I currently use nextcloud + todo.txt

I don't have my todos in my calendar (I think that may be what you're asking for?), but both are solid systems.

I sync my todo.txt files via nextcloud. I use sleek on my desktop and ntodotxt on my phone.

Also, notifications. I'm a fairly forgetful person, so I set up notifications to let me know if I left windows open or devices on before I go to bed or leave for work.

thejevans , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in Port forward to different IP based on destination address in opnsense

Like the other commenter said, that is correct. For SSH, I set up a VM as my SSH bastion or jump host. I connect to that, and the SSH from that to any other machine on the network.

you need a reverse proxy.

Thanks.

I searched both Cory Doctorow's post and the linked 404media article in his post for "air purifier" and found nothing. What author are you referencing?

I use Kagi, stract, and a self-hosted searx-ng instance. Kagi is so well polished that it's what I use most of the time, but I keep an eye on the other two and continually ask myself if I'm ready to drop Kagi to get away from financially supporting Google and Microsoft.

FreshRSS is the tool for that

Do you just use podcasts on your phone? If you have an Android phone, AntennaPod, while not self-hosted, works very well and is FOSS. There are other options to "self-host podcasts" to varying degrees:

• PodHoarder: mentioned in another comment, which could be piped into AntennaPod, but I find that a bit redundant for me

• AudioBookshelf: a fantastic self-hosted audiobook server, and an okay podcast server, but is focused around streaming from your server to your listening device, and I prefer to download on wifi to listen later (it was pretty clunky for that workflow).

• GPodderSync: barely supported at this point and missing too many features to be useful in my opinion, but a neat backend for AntennaPod and other players to sync to some degree.

Bonus: the creators of AntennaPod and other FOSS podcasting software are working on a replacement for GPodderSync here: https://github.com/OpenPodcastAPI

EDIT: for RSS in general, I use FreshRSS, which uses the g-reader API to sync across multiple apps. It's awesome.

thejevans , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Self-Hosting to help a community?

I host wikis for local advocacy work. I plan to host other static sites, and I'm building a tool to get better transit schedules in a simple webpage. Hosting Mobilizon is on my list to do as well.

If your budget is as cheap as possible than the only answer is a 12TB HDD in a USB enclosure for your Raspberry Pi.
