If you don't mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.

Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.

Does anyone have access to your machine (local or remote)? This sounds every odd.

Thanks! I'll check with my vps provider.

However, this proxy does not seem to be "within" the tor network itself, right? I'm just connecting someone to the first entry node on the system, correct?

Would I be transmitting unencrypted data? In other words, would an outsider be able to tell that I'm transmitting something illegal to a person accessing tor?

Thanks! Would you be able to elaborate a bit more?

It was my understanding that this is not the same thing as running an exit node.

 

I was reading this guide on how to run a snowflake proxy, and I'm considering doing it.

I'm currently renting a small VPS for my self-hosted services, and I have some spare capacity. So I was wondering, are there any downsides that I might be overlooking?

My self-hosted services are on a URL with my real name. Could there be any privacy or legal implications for me? (I don't live under an authoritarian regime)

I would imagine dampening how much of a boost old posts get would fix this issue.

The non-mainstream social media options will always be the ones with people with more extreme political views (on both sides of the spectrum).

Lemmy has a great deal of tankies. They seem less prominent now, because the influx of people from Reddit diluted them.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Tried searching it using my searxng instance, and I can still find it (still indexed by duckduckgo, yahoo and Alexandria).

Don't know if has been fixed, but I guess it's an argument for using metasearch engines: get some redundancy, don't rely on just one source.

There is 0% chance this man is neither on drugs nor having a severe mental breakdown.

Have you actually used age?

Unlike gpg, encryption of the private key is not default (or straightforward). It also doesn't have a key management system

age seems to be the new hot thing to encrypt data.

However, when you generate a key pair, the private key just sits as a plaintext file on your computer.

Maybe I'm too used to PGP, but this makes me a bit nervous. There doesn't see to be a key manager that allows you to pass in a key id with which you encrypt / decrypt. It's all done using the public key directly in the command line (for encrypting), or the plaintext private key file (to decrypt).

Am I missing something? Is there a better / easier way to manage these private key files?

Honestly? Probably boredom. Computer-related projects are addictive to me.

Haven't ventured too far, but searxng was my first selfhosted service. It's very easy, single container, no database.

 

I've recently started to use searxng (just running it on a docker container from my laptop for now).

It's been great so far, but there are a few features that I which it had. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to have a blocklist to filter the search results (which is a shame).

For the people that run their own metasearch engines, what kinds of customisation have you done?
