Odd, I got a cert warning for that URL. This worked: https://xcancel.com/ShivAroor/status/1933165937399648447

Why?

I tried saving named links in a text file, offline reading in Wallabag, full archiving with Archivebox, and fancier bookmarking/tagging with Karakeep. I found each does a bit of what I want so I now use all four. Heh

This'll seem a like an odd question given the obvious bare-bones approach, but still: Is or could be instrumented for self-driving? I can't imagine us humans driving forever. Otherwise this looks like a dream truck to me. Easy DIY repair, electric, fewer distractions, meant for work not showing off.

Pretty sure it does use metadata and folder/filename as fallback.

Musicbrainz Picard is great for normalizing metadata for music files/albums, maybe give that a shot.

What is libraries.io? Why not link to the official pypi page?

Woah, how? My global search indexer seems to poop out when the sqlite db gets too big or something.

On another note, Thunderbird feels quite snappy for me. Fast and responsive, especially global search.

Even so I think I prefer Recoll now that I've got it working. That thing is amazing.

Agreed! Curious what your base OS is. Mine has been Ubuntu LTS for years, but now I find myself installing so many custom tools like these I'm thinking I might want to move to NixOS or Gentoo or something like that instead. I just don't want to lose out on stability and great hardware support.

And the first one? Wouldn't the output be

+1 for autojump since it's already in debian & ubuntu package repositories. Install with `apt install autojump` and add a line to your shell config file to load it. For Bash that means adding e.g. `source /usr/share/autojump/autojump.sh` to your .bashrc. Also works with zsh, fish, tcsh, clink.

Please explain. Not clicking those links.

Clever trick!

Pair that with talking with someone to reflect on if/how it worked to make it an even stronger funk-escape method.

Music is straightforward to self-host. Go for it!

Video can be a bit harder if you have to transcode.

Finamp redesign beta is stable and awesome.

Good read, thank you Sergei. Refreshingly honest and surprisingly inspiring. Good luck!

Which were your favorites?

Lovely series! Wells is awesome.

How does Wired continue to thrive without a paywall? (please I hope I didn't just jinx it) (huh, maybe there is a paywall and I just haven't hit it yet? I just noticed an archive.is and archive.ph links in other comments)

Owning and controlling your data are definitely huge with self-hosting. "Data sovereignty" is a good term for this.

Lately I've been thinking more and more how useful data locality and local first[1] / offline first are, too.

Lots of folks mentioning Markdown in the comments. +1 to that. Plain text FTW. I think a lot about my own data hoarding / archiving, and plain text is such a key part of that. Very future-proof.

Ever since WordPerfect I've preferred more deterministic, lightly-formatted documents with some way to see formatting characters directly. Markdown is brilliant, basically a DSL (domain-specific language) for HTML.

The key to plain text is tooling! A couple Markdown tools I haven't seen mentioned here yet (even though they've come up on HN before) are:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/markdown-view... - pretty-render Markdown right in the browser

https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ - standalone web-friendly Markdown formatter with many features

Yep, at least one plan is required. See https://floss.fund/funding-manifest/#schema

"projects" top-level key should be labeled "Required" at https://floss.fund/funding-manifest/

oh I did review that, thanks! Seemed like it fit show hn, along with other extant hands-on guides/tutorials? You can clone my repo and run the Docker Compose stacks, and apply either pattern (attempt 1 or 2) to a homelab with Traefik & Docker Compose. The tricky part is understanding the pattern in the first place.

But if it fits better outside "show hn" I'm fine with that too, I guess a mod is free to remove "show hn" from the title.

I don't use any linuxserver.io images but I found this article useful as a reminder to review Docker Compose defaults for allocating subnets, shunting all outbound traffic, and custom bridge networks.

Relevant upstream/official docs:

https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/networks/

https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/networking/

Yep.

wordpress.com locks people in, making it hard to later migrate to the open source version of WordPress.

> I will start on releasing the code and build

Good! This is a great way to get more feedback and potentially more users. I'd encourage you to make it easy for folks to self-host.

You can still maintain control and the ability to make it a paid service, even if you choose an AGPL license.

> Signal, WhatApp, etc are all closed source

False. Signal is open source. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38585458

Except a server-side anti-spam component, apparently? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)#Licensing

> tied with phone numbers

This is a valid concern about Signal and it comes up often. I believe any privacy risk around your phone number leaking or being tied to your activity on Signal is sufficiently mitigated by the folks who run the Signal servers (the Signal Foundation) since plaintext phone numbers are only used for initial SMS verification. They are then discarded, apparently. Contact discovery/matching is done on the device only with SHA256 hashes of phone numbers.

And now you can discover/connect with others via usernames that can be changed at any time and hide phone numbers altogether.

Hmm, but https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007061452-Do... disagrees with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)#Contact_disc... ... that's not good.

Closed source, and the HN account just for this purpose/service.

This looks kinda sus. Why would or should anyone use this, @exfildotcloud?

https://khoj.dev promises this.
