Looking for backend advice for my iOS app, Leximio! 📱
I need to serve read-only data. I initially considered Firestore for its efficiency and simplicity, but privacy and #GDPR compliance are non-negotiable for me.
I’m looking for a solid, privacy-first alternative. I’ve been eyeing Supabase and Appwrite. Any feedback on these, or other GDPR-compliant/self-hosted recommendations?

What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.

I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.

It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.

I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

Small local-AI habit that pays off: write down which workflows actually need cloud models, then move the boring repeatable ones to your own machine first. You get privacy, lower latency, and fewer surprise costs without turning it into a purity contest. #LocalAI #SelfHosted #Privacy #Homelab

The current version of HisVirusness.com celebrated its first anniversary yesterday. It's by far the most substantial and persistent project I've been involved with in years, and it began with two posts, a general stylesheet and some PHP I wrote in my early 20's. I planted the seeds and let it become what it wanted to be; I couldn't be happier with the result. Here's to many more years of abject ridiculousness.

Migrated from TT-RSS to FreshRSS as a self hosted Docker RSS reader running on a Proxmox VM.

The FreshRSS interface is a bit different and will take some getting use to but so far it is fast and I have no other major compliants.

I see that there is a LXC for FreshRSS but I already had a Docker server set up behind a local reverse nginx proxy.

Next step is to configure local image caching as I want the images loaded form the server and not directly from the host website.

TT-RSS was good for a long time, but its a bit buggy and the Docker containers were throwing errors. I did not have the time to troubleshoot to keep running.

I sure would pay 2-3x the price of a Roku for a FOSS usb device that let me stream Jellyfin, Plex, etc. on my TVs.

I guess I could just go with the tiniest possible CachyOS computer. It's working great on a mini PC on my main home theater/gaming TV.

Now that I say this, with a little elbow grease and moving things around, I could have an extra Pi4. Looks like it will be project time soon.

All this is to say, fuck you FOX.
