I don’t think this counts as a leopard-face moment. That would imply that Android users (or app developers) were somehow hoping that Google would only screw over non-Android users. No one was thinking that; everyone knew that Google was screwing you the hardest if you were using an Android phone. They were just hoping that Google wouldn’t go this far and completely lock down the platform.

Pfft, the only “hoarding problem” is that storage is expensive these days!

I’m curious about whose website this is. Does this person make one-off informational pages? This security.html page has one style, then there’s popular_self_hosting_services.html with a different style, and the homepage with a classic, basic HTML style.

I haven’t read the article yet – I can’t say if it’s good info or bad info. But it’s nice to know something about who’s writing it when it comes to this kind of thing.

I mean, there’s gotta be a few nines in there if you keep going enough decimal places to the right…

A mistake in the article: ghostty is not “nearly two decades” old. It’s like two years old. I think the author saw that the ghostty developer had been on github for that long, and assumed that the ghostty project had been going the whole time.

It’s great to see popular projects moving to alternatives.

I’m always torn about what kinds of features should be put behind a paywall. Like, if it’s just little customizations, that’s much better than saying, “pay us a monthly fee to make more people see your posts.” It seems silly to make UI customization a pro feature, but that also seems like a non-evil way of monetizing a social media app.

I’m liking it so far. One thing that I noticed is that, by default, when you add a new source (person, Youtube channel, etc.), it asks you what category that source should go it. Mastodon’s web UI has the multi-column layout, and you can use that to categorize people you follow, but I always end up forgetting to do that. Seems like Surf makes categories the first thing you do, rather than an optional thing you do later. I think I’m going to like this more organized feed based around topics.

From what I can see, this means I need to exit the app to take some action with my mastodon account.

I haven’t tried posting anything yet, but just liking and boosting has been doing it through my Mastodon account. If I’m interacting with a bluesky post, then it uses the bluesky account that it automatically created for me. But since I signed in with my Mastodon account, all of those actions have been done by my Mastodon account.

Thanks for writing that up! I’m curious: what makes you use Readeck for some things and Linkwarden for others? It seems like they have the same use case, and pretty much the same features.

I’ve been using wallabag for quite a while, before Linkwarden and Readeck were written, and I haven’t felt a reason to switch away from it.

A thing I like doing with wallabag is:

1. Select a bunch of articles that I want to read on my ebook reader
2. Tag them as “exported_on_2026-04-02”
3. Export them as an epub
4. The epub is synced automatically by syncthing to my ebook reader (it’s like an eink Android tablet)
5. Once I’ve read that file on the ebook reader, select all entries tagged with “exported_on_2026-04-02” and mark them as read. Or just mark them as read right away, since I’ll definitely get to them once they’re on the ebook reader.

I haven’t found any other bookmarking applications that can conveniently tag articles in bulk, export, and then mark as read in bulk like wallabag. From the website, it looks like Readeck can, I’ll have to check it out.

I’ve thought about it, but I like having Bazzite for my gaming PC and Debian for my laptop, so I’ll probably keep using multiple distros. For me it’s:

• Gaming PC: Bazzite (it’s plugged into my TV, like a console, and goes straight to Steam’s big picture mode)
• Laptop: Debian with KDE Plasma
• Home Server: Debian (a little single board computer, no desktop environment)

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar enough with Iroh to understand what exactly this is, but point #3 sounds interesting. Does this mean that, if a user has linked their identity to this service (and the other special media sites they are using support it), would I be able to see all of a user’s posts across multiple social media sites? E.g. filtering the feed by a certain user, and it shows all of that users’ posts on Mastodon and Pixelfed?

I think they mean https://www.collaboraonline.com/. That’s what’s used if you install the office addon for Nextcloud, if I’m not mistaken.

Thank you! That’s too bad.

That’s interesting, I’ll try to learn more about that.

So, in this case, the community I was trying to post to was !vinyl@lemmy.world. There is also a user with that name on lemmy.world. If I search “vinyl@lemmy.world” on Mastodon, does that mean both of them should show up? And what would their names be? One would start with ! and the other start with @?

I think that’s just a way of getting a link to the community, but it doesn’t actually tag the community in your post or make it get posted into that community. I just tried it, and the post does not show up in the community that I mentioned with !.

The only one I’ve tried before is Wekan. I’m not a heavy kanban user, I just basically wanted to put sticky notes in columns, and it worked for that. Looks like it has the features you’re needing, though. There’s read-only demo here: https://boards.wekan.team/b/D2SzJKZDS4Z48yeQH/wekan-open-source-kanban-board-with-mit-license

It looks fairly mobile-friendly, and I think they have Android and iOS apps, too.

Github page: https://github.com/wekan/wekan

Same here. I’m the only user of my services, so if I try visiting the website and it’s down, that’s how I know it’s down.

I prefer phrasing it differently, though. “With my current uptime monitoring strategy, all endpoints serve as an on-demand healthcheck endpoint.”

One legitimate thing I do, though, is have a systemd service that starts each docker compose file. If a container crashes, systemd will notice (I think it keeps an eye on the PIDs automatically) and restart them.

My JSON export from wallabag is 46 megabytes. That’s for 2,465 articles.

I love how active the development on Linkwarden is. I still have all of my stuff in wallabag, but Linkwarden is tempting. I gave the hosted trial a try a few weeks ago, but my wallabag export was too big to import. Maybe I’ll try selfhosting it and manually increasing the max upload size this time.
