I’ve pretty much stopped in my old age but if people ask me questions about “big tech” then I really start to take them for a ride.

Self-Host Weekly - 8 August 2025
I know people have complained in the past about the quality of this sites rss going down hill. Well, I guess good rss is paywalled. I believe good content should have value returned to it but I don’t feel great about rss getting locked down.

This meme has potential. Your reply could be a good variation. Another one could be Mozilla explaining why Firefox needs AI integration

What's your recent fitness victory?
I did 8 pull ups in a row unassisted and then ran two miles. Feel pretty good about that.

Well the comment section led me down an eBay rabbit hole and now I’ve got like 10 books coming.

Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch?
If you can get by with the down time, I encourage it. Linux server.io has great documentation and dockerrun is also a good place to learn.

We wrote "esperto-wiimote", a Wiimote remapper with good IR tracking and complex key combos
Interesting! How do you get the Wii bar to connect to a pc?

Right?! That’s my struggle now more than anything is just trying to get people to respect their own privacy and to care a bit more when when it’s violated or exchanged for something of lesser value (in my opinion)

Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?
I’m trying to figure out a basic CRM for my local sports club. I use docker to self host a voting platform called RALLLY that we use a lot and enjoy. If people can recommend a CRM I’d give it a go today. I tried a platform called twenty yesterday but couldn’t get it off the ground

The intent was the right is the Linux person and the left if the non Linux. But as people have said, the role could swap

I know the struggles with windows. Guess I am not to familiar with the MAC gripes other than the usual planed obsolescence, walled garden stuff. They aren’t jamming AI into it yet right? That got delayed I think?

Yeah not thrilled about being locked into an ecosystem but at least the cost of entry is less than others.
I typically only print in PLA but will branch out on this new machine. My others are all ender 3s with some upgrades so they will get a lot less use now.

Or they just don’t have the bandwidth. Lots of people talk about “spousal approval” when it comes to self hosting and stuff. If you’re strapped for time, resources and have lack of understanding, it can be a hard thing to tackle.

selfh.st: improper etiquette by 2010 standards? (trackers, no RSS) Thoughts?
The RSS is a disappointment. I’ve been following that site since day one. I use NetNewsWire for my app. There is a web view toggle that shows maybe 70% of the content correctly. The updates and new software don’t render correctly.
It use to work fine, I want to say this is something to do with the ghost platform. It drives you to the web site. I’d be more inclined to just go to the website every Friday rather than have a broken rss.
