I’ve been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.

You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/

You’ll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.

edit: holy hell. Grammar.

The number one thing that most of these don’t do well for me is the connection with banks.

A bit of an anecdote, but i was a long-time user of Mint, which integrated with all my banks and credit cards, which was nice.

When I decided to selfhost, I was disappointed that bank syncing wasn’t a thing, or it had these roundabout ways of working, or they simply didn’t support the banks and credit cards i use.

So… I ended up wity Money Manager EX.

Once i did the initial importing of my records, everything since has been manually entered.

Now, this might seem tedious depending on how many transactions and accounts you manage, but it’s really not.

Depending on how often you update your records, you can do an easy export/import of your transactions from your bank (usually a csv export). Doing this once a month isn’t terrible.

I just manually enter all my transactions. Yes, more work, but also less frustration and it makes me feel more in touch with my spending.

Even not having to worry about the hassle of syncing not working, or having to fix things like that is a huge weight off my shoulders.

Anyway, just wanted to share my experience because bank syncing shouldn’t be a make-or-break thing.

That might be the difference! None of the houses on our street have them, so groceries get unloaded from the driveway, straight into the front door.

You’ve never seen your neighbors carrying groceries inside.

I’m going to assume that you either don’t have windows, or you don’t go outside.

I see multiple neighbours, multiple times a month, bringing groceries into their house.

Quite a few times this happens while I’m also outside, in passing.

But now I’m super curious how you don’t see your neighbours doing the same! 😂

I think one of the reasons why I stopped gaming as an adult, is because I realized that pretty much all the popular games are rigged to keep you going. The progression is artificial, and demotivates me to invest time in it.

Old games were basically: play them, and with the right skill you can complete the levels and finish. Simple, fun, and you didn’t have to return back to the game in 11h:23m:45sec in order to “unlock” anything, either. You turn it on when you want, then turn it off. You can return to it months or even years later and it makes no difference.

New games? Always moving the goal posts. You have to pay to level up quickly, but the next level just sets you up for another artificial grind. Spin a wheel or open a loot crate? Those are just programmed to give you exactly the items you need to keep going a little further. Seasons, timed events, social media integration… all the fun is sucked out.

Video games use quite a few of the same tactics that you’ll see in lotteries, casinos, and other “games of chance”.

Once you realize that, you can’t unsee it.

It’s sad that the most unhealthy games are the ones ranked as most played on the google play store 😮‍💨

Yup. I’m either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.

For now, I’m holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.

you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden.

Well, I’d prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.

I dont know if any specific model will be the right answer, but Qualcomm has their Snapdragon event going on right now, and many of the advancements they are touting are specifically for local AI processing.

So, computing power will improve significantly over the next few years, with AI being the largest benefactor.

Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there’s a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.

I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I’m not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it’s one of the easy ones!

Floccus is actually just a sync tool, it can also sync with Linkwarden in the latest version.

No way! I just uninstalled Linkwarden because it wasn’t working well on too many websites (i.e. it would capture cookie popups or “choose your country” rather than the page I wanted).

Glad to see some cool updates and integration, though.

I self-host https://floccus.org/

If you’ve got a browser that supports plugins, then you can use the floccus add-in. But for Android, I use the floccus app since it’s just easier.

Floccus is primarily a bookmarking service, but if you want to save articles for viewing later Linkwarden might be a better fit.

You’d need to explore the topic in further detail, as I’m sure the answer is there.

It may be dose dependent, but it may also be that a “splash” of milk might not impair absorption by much, but would anyone use just a splash of milk?

It’s one study of many showing this effect. I believe they suggest that the protein in milk is the culprit. The same effect applies to tea… Adding dairy to tea reduces its health benefits.

Tech companies only care about making money. If people continue to buy their half-effort products, then they’ll keep making it.

On the other hand, open-source (hardware or software) is designed for maximum longevity.

Unfortunately, the wrong people have unlimited resources when it comes to making our tech products.

Considering that coffee is probably the highest source of antioxidants in a person’s diet, there will be some health benefits. Just dont add dairy milk to it, or it will blunt absorption. Soy milk is fine.

But if you’re an overweight, overworked, stress filled couch potato who doesn’t exercise and eats poorly, then you’re health is screwed regardless of how much coffee you drink 😂

Awesome! Thank you!

I guess I’m asking this before I register.

I still don’t get PeerTube. Is it like Lemmy, where signing up to one “platform” gives you access to other platform’s content with the same login? Or is each platform separate and only videos there will be shown?

I’ve used plenty of Linux VMs through Windows, so I’m aware of the limitations. I’m not trying to game through a VM, more like accessing some programs that I need for a few minutes at a time (and not even on a daily basis).
