I can recommend nb.sh for terminal minimalists! Its both a bookmark and note taking shell script that syncs with git.

Mastodon offers a lot of great features but at a high computational cost. I settled for GoToSocial for my personal instance, and although it is still in alpha, everything I need is there and it is stable and barely uses any resources. The s

I run GoToSocial on my home server and, being written in Golang and not Ruby, it hardly consumes any CPU or RAM. I think we will see a couple of ActivityPub server projects being built with Go an possibly Rust the next couple of years that

I host personal and semi-commerical websites/apps from home on a 500/500 fiber connection. The hardware is an older HP G1 800 SFF, which you can buy refurbished for ~€150, much more bang for your bucks than a Pi. Proxmox makes it

I've run GoToSocial as my personal instance for a few weeks and although it is still a very young project, it has worked reliably for me. Since it is a Go project is bare uses any resources, ~100mb RAM and almost zero CPU. I host 3 per

Mastodon uses the open protocol ActivityPub, which means you can access posts like these from many other clients than the servers web interface. If you dislike JavaScript, may I suggest 'Brutaldon' [0]? There is also the cli/

Hah, I expected to find a Zeihan-inspired reply close to the top and was not disappointed :)

I found a way to fetch the monitors EDID, modify it and load the file during boot, but this is port, not monitor, specific. I wrote up the process on my blog: http://rubensolvang.com/2022/custom-monitor-resolution-on-wa

It is just another client among many, you still connect to the same instance/server, be it Mastodon Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube etc. There is no concept of channels on Mastodon, but I'm pretty sure the underlying protocol supports

The whole thing is written i bash and thoroughly tested with bats. Will definitively poke around the script to see what I can learn!

What I am missing is a robust solution for keeping my feeds (blogs, podcasts etc) in sync between multiple devices, using a standardised protocol that enables the usage of many different clients on any platform. There has been some attempts

It is possible to use calDAV, cardDAV etc to sync tasks, contacts and calenders independent of the client you use. I have been doing this exercise the past few days with one guy who does everything in the CLI (mutt, todoman etc) while I hav

I have added some basic functions to my .bashrc, which works fine for my use case. This tool might be nice to have when the amount of scripts grow to unmanageable amounts, but I'm not there yet :)

I guess this means a big boost for Penpot? It might not have a full feature overlap, but I can imagine it beeing more than good enough for teams collaborating on mockups and web related graphics. Plus it is open source and can be self-hoste

Call it epub-send instead. It sounds like a universal enough tool to deserve a more universal name, not connected to a specific product :)

Ten dollars sounds a bit expensive for shared hosting? I have been happy with Hawkhost for the last 10 years, which starts their shared hosting options at $2.99/month. That is 10 GB storage, unlimited bandwidth, host as many domains as

A modest middleway is using Server Side Includes (SSI) to do simple templating stuff. It works on Apache, nginx — and Caddy as well. Its a nice combo of "no stack" and some dynamic elements in your HTML and CSS.

You should check out bookwyrm.social for posting book reviews! It is a federated Goodreads alternative that makes it easy to share my book-related activity via my Mastodon account, and to keep track of my reading progression, quotes, review

I have not experienced a noticable slow down over the last ten years of using Firefox, even on modest hardware from from the early 2010's. That said, this year I enabled clearing the browsing history and cache every time I close Firefo

I should mention that I do not use the star that often because I have disabled the history function in Firefox completely, including deletion of all cookies (except a few whitelisted ones) when closing the program. I also have a bookmark fo

I first checked out Hypothesis back sometime in the early 2010's and it really captured my imagination for a time. Unfortunately, like with all other bookmark-like services I have tried over the years, I did not use it regularly and it

From my experience, simplicity and portability is really the key to a long term and effective bookmarking system. I add everything into one single bookmark folder in Firefox and slap on a few tags. Syncing between devices works perfectly. A

You shuld check out Server Side Includes (SSI) which enables you to do inludes, run scripts etc via the webserver (Apache, Nginx). Caddy has its own version that also handles Mardown and Frontmatter. Caddys own documentation is using this f

This walkthrough has shed light on details that has been fuzzy and wage for me since I started using git years ago, and I'm only one third into the text. Thanks for this writeup!

I have tried many different solutions the last two decades, but none of of them really stuck or became useful over time. I kinda gave up and as a last ditch effort started to do the simplest thing I could think of: ctrl+D to add bookmarks i
