Very excite 😋

I was literally just pondering this. I’ve got a local backup job that is a very simple rsync command which I originally setup as a cron job. I’ve got a cloud backup job I setup later with systemd timers. I went to add a new backup job and had to decide which to go with.

There is absolutely still a place for the cron jobs. If you are aware of it’s limitations it cannot get simpler than a new /etc/cron.d/ file with a single line. But the systemd timer path offers some nice functionality in exchange for a tad more complexity and less footguns. Whichever one you understand the best is probably the best answer.

I’ve been using miniflux in docker with a miniflux-ai container I found on GitHub, I seem to recall I had issues out of the box and had to tweak it but that was quite a while ago, can’t remember the details. I have it configured to generate summaries of a list of feeds in miniflux when it sees new items. Works pretty well, needs to be restarted occasionally but has been just fine for the amount of time it took to setup.

That’s really good to know, thanks!

Such a great project, I’m still waiting for the stable declaration before I try and convert the family but it’s getting hard, so many good features. Really hoping they don’t fall victim to the enshitification cycle.

Cheers y’all, hope the next year is even better

I really like this idea, I can’t believe you just threw this together, awesome work and thank you for sharing, I hope it gets some traction

Also curious, have a similar project in mind. I’ve tinkered with jekyll a little and heard good things about Hugo. Hopefully people can speak to some of these.

this really needs more circulation because too goddamn many people still believe his PR

You love to see it

underrated gif here, this is exactly the situation, Trump and his ilk belong to the ideology that power can and should be seized and that the people who seize it must deserve it, the only rules they live by are the ones they think will benefit themselves

Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.

I am a little biased because I’ve been using Debian professionally for many years now but we don’t deserve Debian. It is fantastically stable and reliable and makes an excellent platform for running your services off of. If you are at all interested in offering some time and energy to the open source community, consider adopting a Debian package!
