You can let Ethan know about that: https://selfh.st/contact/ , I’m sure he’d appreciate it

I switched to Recoll for offline email full text search. Works well.

It is. I think Ethan is joking, see the other links in the same paragraph

Thanks for all the feedback. I’m not the author, just a fan re-sharing Ethan Sholly’s posts here on Lemmy because I prefer it to reddit.

If you like This Week in Self-Hosted, send some love Ethan’s way and let him know you want him to keep doing what he does by subscribing (free) and/or becoming a paid supporter – see https://selfh.st/#/portal for more info.

I do author other stuff, elsewhere. I have worked with Ethan in the past and I hope we’re able to do more together in the future!

Heads up re: Actual: 25.2.1 bugfix release dropped yesterday. https://actualbudget.org/blog

Thanks for all the kind words. Agreed, I love this newsletter too!

Hopefully Fork recipes also tries reading schema.org recipe json-ld data directly? I doubt AI is necessary for screen-scraping online recipes.

https://selfh.st/apps/ is a nice list

This.

Probably. It is FOSS so it seems unlikely that it would include malware since that would be a massive fiasco if any malware were found. But of course the only way to know for sure is to review the code yourself.

For what it’s worth, the promise right in the source is:

Jellyfin Wrapped is an entirely client-side application. Your data stays private and is never sent to any external service.

I tried it. I first opened my browser developer tools and watched network activity and, after downloading the app from https://jellyfin-wrapped.jpc.io/ , only saw traffic to my own Jellyfin server.

Yep! RSS feeds for that:

TL;DR - use Signal.

Re: self-hosting – go for it! The DIY route is an excellent learning experience, so this is the way to go if you want your own privacy-friendly chat service. There’s quite a lot to achieving “privacy” and “security” though (heck, even defining these is challenging)… have you self-hosted before? How important are service quality / speed / reliability, backups, mobile + desktop? Will the folks you want to chat with use/like it too?

Re: Signal – definitely check out this app as well. They (the Signal Foundation) take privacy very seriously. Messages are only stored on devices running Signal, and they are ephemeral by default. Actually, that’s a good thing to consider: How important are durable / offline archives of your chats, useful with other tools (like grep?). Signal makes offline archiving difficult by design (for the sake of security/privacy).

Note that Signal is technically self-hostable, but I gather this is very difficult.

I self-host Nextcloud and I use Talk. I don’t love it, but I do find it useful for some things. Flipping on Nextcloud is pretty easy, but it is challenging to make it secure, reliable, fast, etc. And you still have to convince others to use it.

Nice. That’s similar to what I’m doing: Ubuntu LTS server running containers, orchestrated by Docker Compose, with a Traefik reverse proxy in front of everything. I’m curious about TrueNAS SCALE though, wondering if that would suit my needs.

I’m a Jellyfin fan, personally. Do you have something self-hosted you like for streaming media?

I appreciate your thought process here! Where did you end up as far as self-hosting?

I think “VPS” in Christian’s blog post does refer to shared hosting.

There’s one in Seattle called the Home Internet Server group. It is run by Steve Herber and is I think loosely tied with KEGS and BELUG.

Dave presented his walkthrough of my book yesterday at BELUG.
