Yes, it's just sway

I've been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don't visit the site if I can help it, I don't login, I don't "like & subscribe", I don't see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don't see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

I'd go for Alpine Linux in such case.

You may want to check out numen, targeted towards power-users.

I'll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it's often hard to find good books in other languages. I'd also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

• (German)
  • "Die Welten der Skiir" trilogy (by Dirk van den Boom): https://bookwyrm.social/book/593373/s/die-welten-der-skiir-1 is really great . He also wrote another trilogy (Die Reise der Scythe) which is also quite nice.
  • "3517 Anno Domini: Wir waren Götter" by Raik Thorstad. Note that his is a primarily an M/M romance, but it has a nice dystopian scifi setting.
• (Spanish)
  • "En un lugar llamado tierra" - I read this long ago, don't remember much: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979935/s/en-un-lugar-llamado-tierra
  • La señal - https://bookwyrm.social/book/979918/s/la-senal
• (French) The works by Jules Verne should probably be mentioned here, despite being written well a century ago. "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers", as already mentioned in another comment, is a must-read classic.
  • "Helstrid" - I have this one on my e-reader for a while but haven't properly started it yet: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1289177/s/helstrid , so I can't say if it's any good.
• (Dutch) Long ago as a teen I once read "Coriolis, de stormplaneet" and liked it: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979934/s/coriolis-de-stormplaneet

I'm using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

• make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
• time tracking functions
• synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail

Thanks!

Not really, though it wouldn't be hard to add, say via a cronjob.

As a kooikerhondje owner, I approve of this post :)

Done! Please join https://lemmy.world/c/kooikerhondje and post more photos ;)

Oh wow! Already three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy! You're right, we should start a community

I'm not much of a distro-hopper. I think I've been on just four distros on my daily-driving desktop & laptop since about 1999:

• RedHat (around 1999, starting with 6.0)
• Mandrake (around 2001?)
• Ubuntu (around 2006)
• Arch Linux (around 2012 - today), and no intention to hop. In fact, I recently bought a new PC and installed Arch again. On the previous machine, I installed it once and it rolled nicely its entire lifetime.

My personal server has been running Ubuntu LTS for ages, I might have run debian a long time ago, but I'm not sure anymore. Nowadays I run a container setup, and those are running on Alpine Linux.

Let's not downvote the poor guy just because we lost him to Apple. The comment is on topic and people are allowed to make different choices/mistakes 😉

The more kooikerhondjes the better! :)

newsboat

A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo

I can definitely see where you're coming from and I have similar experiences. I got fairly fed up with the fact that the modem often doesn't come up again after suspend on the pinephone. And if you disable sleep like I often do, you often find a dead battery. Despite all the great work of so many people, I'd have hoped for some more stability in the ecosystem by now.

I also took up a spare Android phone unfortunately, but I'm really fighting with its interface, I want my sxmo !

(cross-post from Mastodon)

Really? Nice! Did you mean to post a picture, I'm not seeing it?

Thanks!

Nice to see you here too, with a brand new instance even!

I use newsboat for all my RSS needs, which is pretty much my main entry point for a lot of things:

• News sites
• Various blogs
• Youtube channels (I unsubscribed from everything on my YouTube account, hardly ever login, and only use RSS to follow the channels I want)
• Podcasts
• I used to have some subreddits in there too, but those were ritually deleted after June 12th of course

Oni ankaŭ povas subskribi mastodon/activitypub kun gnupg-ŝlosilo, kaj disdoni la rezultadon publike, kun https://keyoxide.org

Ekzemplo, jen la mia: https://keyoxide.org/8AC624881EF2AC30C0E68E2C39FE11201A31555C

Jes, ankaŭ mi estis bone surprizita. Sed vi tute pravas pri la kodon kaj datumaron, estas bedaŭrinda afero.

Interese, ĉu tiu biblioteko antaŭe troviĝis en la UEA centra oficejo en Roterdamo? Mi bone rememoras la librojn kaj la etoson tie, mi vizitis la lokon kelkfoje antaŭ multaj jaroj.

Danke, das sehr war interessant zu lesen! Die Schweiz ist politisch etwas eigenartig aber das fasziniert mich ziemlich. Ich habe den Ahnung, das manche Sachen, sowie beteiligung und einfluß im Demokratischen Prozess, da sogar besser läufen als in EU-länder wie meiner (die Niederlande).

Yep, people are enthusiastic about self hosting and like talking about what they host :)

When I am sending? Well, once things are set up properly I'm pretty confident that things arrive (though nobody can ever be 100% sure of course). I also tend to mail to the same recipient domains a lot, like for work and hobby projects, so once those are tested you get pretty confident.

Unnoticed downtime is usually quickly noticed, I depend on my server for a lot of things. Senders are often resilient enough to keep things in their queue and try a few times. There's also a fallback MX registry at my (3rd party) DNS host which will queue stuff in case the primary MX goes down.

Interesting hardware list, that indeed is a bit more complicated (and probably more expensive) than most are running.

Nice, RSS is great indeed. I use it extensively as well, but I didn't even realize it was a thing people ran as a service on a server. I hadn't heard of FreshRSS etc. I personally just run newsboat from my desktop/laptop, even my phone if need be.

You may have to buy the necessary brain upgrade from your brain dealer, but generally multiple languages fit yeah 😉 It may get a bit confusing if they're very similar languages though, although I also find that that may help in retention of vocabulary.

To set the right example:

I speak dutch (native); english (fluent); german, spanish, portuguese, french, esperanto (good); italian (adequate); russian (slightly below adequate); mandarin chinese (basic); arabic (very poorly)

I'm learning mostly russian and chinese, for many years already, but not in any formal setting and with for many years already. I like reading books in the other languages to keep them up.

I've been self-hosting e-mail for over 15 years and hope to continue doing so. Although it's being made increasingly difficult by big tech players. I wrote about it here: https://proycon.anaproy.nl/posts/rant-against-centralising-e-mail/

I'm on Hyprland (wayland compositer, wl-roots based). Prior to the wayland transition I was on dwm. Hyprland offers a dynamic tiling layout just like dwm, which was my main selling point. The dev is very active and hyprland is gaining maturity rapidly (more than alternatives like dwl or river did at the time I checked it out). I also tried i3 and sway, but they don't quite cut it for me as they don't do dynamic tiling out of the box.

To answer my own question:

• E-mail (postfix, dovecot, rspamd, clamav)
• Web (nginx), various small websites including my homepage
• Fediverse Microblogging (Mastodon)
• Matrix Chat (synapse)
• XMPP Chat (prosody)
• Music streaming (mpd, snapcast)
• Home automation (home assistant and my own lighthome stuff, mqtt)
• IRC bouncer (znc)

And the basics of course:

• SSH (openssh)
• NFS

All running on an Ubuntu Linux server, but everything is containerised into mostly Alpine Linux podman (rootless) containers (and a few lxc containers which I'm phasing out).

Nice, you must be into deep learning with such a setup, any particular reason the deep deep learning models and GPU run in your server rather than in a powerful desktop system? Maybe you're actively offering AI services to the outside world?

I'm using snapcast, though more as an alternative for icecast to just play my music from mpd, rather than for its more advanced syncing features.

snapserver is on my main server, and snapclient on my desktop PC, my laptop, and on raspberry pi's connected to main speakers throughout the house. I can start/stop the clients via my home automation system.

I'm currently reading The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, by Roger Williams... It's scifi about "the singularity", albeit a bit graphic and disturbing.

I recently finished reading "Arrête avec tes mensognes" by Phillipe Besson (english title: Lie with me), a gay novel, and that was a great read.

• Arch Linux on desktop and laptop
• Ubuntu on server, with containers running mostly Alpine Linux
• postmarketOS (Alpine Linux based) on mobile phone (pinephone)

Suggestion: Globe in the center and a circle of lemmings (like from the classical game) holding hands all along the circumference?
