Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've recently (finally) taken the leap into self-hosting my RSS reader, and I'm wondering what feeds everyone's subscribed to

I've currently got some basics like Github releases for software I use, the great selfh.st blog for self-hosted news, hackaday, some essentials like xkcd, and an attempt at following new music releases from artists I like, but I'm sure there are other great feeds out there that I should also be aware of

selfh.st is popular

I saved the post because I've always been interested in aggregating a RSS feed, but I need ideas for what to subscribe to. Thanks for making the post

Lemmy communities work as RSS feeds. I came here from my RSS reader (Nunti on android) :)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

Here are some interesting feeds I follow, mostly tech-focused and quite Rust heavy:

Generated by opening an OPML export in firefox, running the following script and deleting a bunch of feeds:

 "- " + [...document.querySelectorAll("body > outline > outline")].map((f) => `[${f.getAttribute("text")}](${f.getAttribute("htmlUrl")}) \`${f.getAttribute("xmlUrl")}\``).join("\n- ")

Nerd blogs, a couple message boards and Reddit subs, and XKCD, of course.

Youtube channels. A simple timeline of uploads, only showing chanels I care about.

Well, managed by the great FreshRSS and read via the beautiful Read You android app (french here, so some sites won't ring a bell to most):

  • geek : a few on warhammer 40k and miniature painting, some tech related (like official android website, journaldugeek, korben, clubic, le café du geek, MariusHosting, selfh.st, and some others)
  • webcomics : badspace, getcomics, questionablecontent (well, used to, it doesn't work anymore), work chronicles, and of course xkcd
  • pro : stuff related to laws and compliance, but also stuff related to automation in MS3652 environment ('cause I'm lazy AF, and if I can automatize it, let's do it !)
  • hobbies : warhammer (again) and analog photography related stuff, but very few, I should expand that list.

badspace has a RSS feed? I thought signing up for the newsletter was the only way

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have to say I only put the url in freshrss, and magic happened. Fresh found https://www.badspacecomics.com/blog-feed.xml

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thanks a lot! Sometimes the internet is just wizards. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Definitly, and people who write those soft are my magic heroes ! :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What analog photography feeds do you have? I'm currently only subscribed to Emulsive, which seems to have stopped being updated, and parts of 35mmc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Only two so far. A followed a few french one, but they stopped or don't match with what I want : (argentique2.2, Clement Blin, AnalogYou.

Emulsive, more to keep tracks of past articles, and analog.cafe. On the site, some paywall, but via FreshRSS and ReadYou, I seem able to read the entire of the articles. I'll take 35mmc, but if you find more, I'll be interested :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Cool thank you, I haven't heard of analog.cafe before.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Heyy I've been looking around at different android apps and I think I've also settled on "Read You." Thank you for the list, I haven't heard of lots of them like MariusHosting and they look interesting

Which feeds do you watch for automation? I also like automating what I can lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

For automation : [](Let's POWER Automate), SPGuides and SPLighbulb moments.

Also, but not via RSS, but via youtube : Reza Dorrani, Sharepoint Maven, Pragmatic Works, Academy 365.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Dozens... yt channels, tech blogs, changelogs, etc

A question for the ages: why are there so many young cybersecurity furries?

Does the field attract furries, or does it create them?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I think it's attraction

Isn't this like saying "What phone numbers do you have in your address book?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

More like what newsletters or Lemmy communities are you subscribed to

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Mostly local activist groups, some software sites to see what's in updates, few political blogs.
