quick, somebody go call the datahoarder community

few days late here, but that pastebin had some really good feeds 🙏 I noticed the OPML file was labeled FreshRSS and I also use FreshRSS. So I fixed up the feeds and configured FreshRSS to scrape the full articles (when possible) and bypass ads, tracking and paywalls.

I figured I’d pay it forward by sharing my revised OPML file.

I also included some of my other feeds that are related (if you or anyone else is interested).

Some of the feeds are created from scratch since a few if these sites don’t offer RSS, so if the sites change their layout the configs may need to be adjusted a bit, but in my experience this rarely happens.

I had to replace some of the urls with publicly hosted versions of the front-ends I host locally and scrape, but feel free to change it up however you like.

as far as subtitles go, I’ve had good luck with Bazarr:

Dell offers their Precision lineup of laptops with an option to ship with Linux (ubuntu) instead of Windows. As far as mainstream, enterprise support and driver updates go, you can’t get any bigger than Dell. Lots of good deals to be had on eBay for these machines too, they’re built like tanks and driver issues are never a thing.

same goes for those that create self hostable, privacy oriented services and bake in dropbox and/or google drive support… like WUT.

THIS.

omg If I have to configure another Matrix mirror bot for something I wanna self host, I swear…

something like 95% stays local and is remote accessed via wireguard, The rest is stuff I need to host via a hostname with a trusted cert because apps I use require that or if I need to share links to files for work, school etc. For the external stuff I use Cloudflare tunnels just because I use DDNS and want to avoid/can’t use port forwarding. works well for me.

One of the many reasons I always run privacy.sexy every time I need to install windows (on both bare metal and inside a VM).

I mean, yeah but not everything is available over apt. I try to use it whenever I can though

yeah, I tend to only look at repos with decent activity. If I stumble across a project that seems a bit sparse but I still need/would like to use the code, I try to scan through it myself to spot anything fishy. So far so good, but always good to be careful and triple check

I hate that there is such a discrepancy between the amount of Linux server implementation and desktop usage. I’m hopeful for the future though, I’ve been noticing Linux has been getting more attention.

ah crap. I don’t use all the “Uconnect” garbage on my 9 year old Jeep, but it does appear though the dealer can collect (read: steal) info if I bring it in (I do maintenance myself but I have brought it in for recall fixes before). As far as “smart” stuff goes, I do connect my phone via bluetooth but I run GrapheneOS on my mobile so hopefully this mitigates some stuff. I’ve always thought it was just cars with data connections and cameras/self-driving modules that were the problem (at least in my understanding of networking vis-a-vis my background in network development, but then again cars run different firmware)

thanks, I’ll check out photoGIMP. been trying desperately to make GIMP work as I wanna ditch Windows before they stop supporting 10, sooner if I can. I made the switch on everything else already.

because they’re notorious for this kind of data collection. My car is older so maybe I’ve just been out of the market for so long and haven’t realized how bad this problem is. Sounds like I will be sticking to my older car for as long as I can lol

For work I heavily rely on the Adobe creative suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro specifically). I maintain Linux servers (and develop for them) and maintain Linux desktops at both home and for work, but the lack of any alternatives to Photoshop specifically has resulted in me still daily driving Windows (VMs really hamper workflow with regards to GPU passthrough and although I’ve successfully set up Looking Glass on my workstation in the past, running 2 gpus isn’t practical). Yes I’ve tried the alternatives and while Premiere Pro has usable alternatives, Photoshop does not. GIMP is incredible given that it is FOSS but the UI and feature set is almost unusable (for me at least).

one of the many reasons I don’t want to buy an EV (or any vehicle that touts an overly “smart” feature set)

Only difference really between Intel vs AMD for self hosting is ECC compatibility. Personally, I tend to be picky about ECC for my server builds (all done on ATX systems thus far), so I go for AMD, but for smaller use case scenarios outside of ZFS pools it shouldn’t matter a ton. If you go the AMD ECC route you’ll have to set aside a spare GPU for local bios/terminal use (or go for the 4000 series pro version of Ryzen, can be had on ebay from resellers for decent prices). otherwise Intel and AMD don’t differ function wise outside of ECC concerns, just make sure to match it with a chipset that will give you the lanes you need to allow for future expandability pcie-wise. (the expandability wasn’t a concern when I first started, but as my self hosting needs expanded I had to replace a motherboard). can’t comment much to wifi APs (I run pfsense and wall off my wifi on it’s own vlan, I ran ethernet throughout the home and my wifi devices that need access to my main network tunnel through via wireguard)

been running it in docker for over a year now with the docker hub image. I’m assuming you got to the app site page based off of what you described. I’d imagine it may be something related to the video quality/encoding option? Does the metadata come through when you search for a video? Also, I find Invidious tends to be (rightly so) particular with the TLS stapling option, so if you don’t have tls or a proxy in front of it, then make sure it’s set to off (happened to me with self signed certs and nothing would play)
