Small Update:

I set up Radicale as a replacement for EteSync (as it seems development has stalled, and I am paying for the VPS anyway) and so far it works great. Getting a “shared” calendar to work with symlinks was not that intuitive in a Podman setup, but I got it to work. Thanks for the suggestion!

Lovely! Thanks for the suggestion <3

Reminds me a bit of the webserver on a vape: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/

Supporting the network with a node is honorable work too :)

The chance that I will do anything else but reading when using my phone is big, so the sync maybe not as relevant. That said, using KOReader with a centralized ebook library still sounds really useful. Thanks!

Sounds interesting. Thanks!

I did not know that. Thanks for explaining!

No, so far I just hope nothing breaks :) will take a look!

With so many recommendations in this thread, Forgejo must be great. I’ve used it with Codeberg, but self-hosting seems a lot better (especially if they introduce federation at some point).

Thanks!

Oh cool! So like an android phone running services? What did you manage to get running?

Thanks! I thought Syncthing does not use central servers? Whats the benefit of using one?

Does it work well with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.? Or do you still have separate accounts there?

Ohh good idea! At some point they stopped sending me videos as I was not able to watch them anyway :( thanks <3

Thanks! I own an e-reader, but as the stock software has served me well so far, I haven’t had any reason to switch. Is KOReader worth it?

Nice! I think XMPP is the best approach to messaging, as it is decentralized and can be E2E (and more mature than e.g. Matrix). The problem is that I won’t be able to convince anyone I know to use XMPP (Signal was a huge struggle already).

Thanks for the suggestions. Are you happy with the search results and UX of SearxNG?

I’m a big fan of static site generators. For the websites I maintain, switching from WordPress to Hugo reduced my workload a lot.

I set up a workflow using DecapCMS + Hugo + GitHub. Non-technical users can log in via GitHub to edit content on the CMS, and GitHub Actions automatically builds and deploys the site via SFTP.

GitHub is kinda meh, but it’s low-cost and gets the job done.
