I don’t know much about Waveshare, and I’ve never heard of Inkbox, but I personally have used the light faux wood TRMNL (they also have a darker one)

The best part of TRMNL is that the hardware and firmware are open source, and you can even build one out of Waveshare parts. They have an open source example implementation for a server as well.

I haven’t looked into Paperless much, but what does your workflow look like exactly with regards to the emailing part?

What do you mean by RSS being “multiple streams”? How does your Python script search multiple places?

RSS combines multiple feeds into one, like this: https://feed.lovergne.dev/demo/

I heard about Njalla via this Lemmy comment but I haven’t tried them myself:

Run by Gottfrid Svartholm Warg of The Pirate Bay who has already served two prison sentences for acting on his beliefs around personal freedom and intellectual property.

If you try it report back lol

It doesn’t have to materialize. It just has to trick investors into investing more. They’re taking a page out of Elon’s playbook.

Are you interested in hosting this for people you already know and trust, like friends and neighbors, or am I misunderstanding your use case?

I’ve never tried it myself, but maybe see if Snipe-IT would work for your needs?

From their docs intro:

Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on - although we’ve definitely seen folks using for non-IT asset tracking as well. Oil rigs, theater equipment, even human body parts! (We didn’t ask too many questions about that last one.)

Unfortunately it doesn’t support OIDC.

How about a family wiki using something like MediaWiki? Or host music with Navidrome?

I currently push to a private GitHub repository (planning on moving to a self-hosted Forgejo instance soon).

Although making my nix configuration public would be safe anyway since I use sops-nix which encrypts all my passwords in the repo using a key derived from my SSH key. During nixos-rebuild it decrypts them and puts them each in their own text file at /run/secrets, with permissions set so you need sudo to view them. (The permissions can be tweaked as needed)

It was a pain in the neck to get started with initially (like NixOS itself), but it was very much worth it. (Basically a necessity since putting secrets even in a private repo is considered bad practice)

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

Check the demo: https://feed.lovergne.dev/demo

It links out to the source webpage, so this might not be what you’re looking for.

Although this might inspire me to build a single page app generator using Astro that does that.

This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

Do you use git? That basically forces you to do some documentation as you go. Multi-line commit messages are often helpful too. (When I first learned git, I only committed using git commit -m which is a bit restrictive in terms of how much you can fit in commit messages)

All my computers (including servers) share the same NixOS Flake. So my documentation consists of:

1. The Nix code itself
2. The commit messages for each change I make
3. Inline comments in the Nix code
4. A few readme.md files to explain the contents of certain directories

I think copyparty would accomplish that pretty well

• Jellyfin and MediaManager for movies / TV shows
• Navidrome, slskd, and SoulSync for music

Any advantages over using Seal for Android? Is it primarily for iPhone users?

They think this will take some of the heat off of them. Hopefully no one actually thinks this is a reasonable compromise. If I want to help an elderly family member install something on their phone during Thanksgiving dinner or a family reunion, I’m not gonna want to wait a day. Uncle Paul’s flying back to Florida tomorrow morning!

I’ve recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They’ve been pushing a lot of updates so I’m excited to see where it goes.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)
