I'm currently self hosting:

  • Jellyfin: TV shows for kiddos
  • Minetest: gaming with kiddos
  • Supertuxkart: more gaming with kiddos
  • Pi-hole: DNS with several filters
  • Tiny Tiny RSS: feed reader
  • Nextcloud: phone sync and project management
  • Gitea: code tracking and version control
  • JSketcher: CAD drawing
  • Stable Diffusion: AI art

The last two are local-network only and the most recent additions; still just tinkering with them at this point.

My favorite of the list is probably TT-RSS which I use for podcasts and to keep tabs on a few sub-reddits I had participated in before moving to Lemmy.

Thanks; quite a few have recommended this one which is nice to see

Very cool design; how well do they stay put on the desk? My last split keyboard would nudge slowly during use and had to be moved back which I found annoying.

The Advantage 2 looks pretty good; bit pricey though I expected as much. Thank you!

 

I'm looking to replace my Logitech Wave with an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and would appreciate any recommendations from the community here.

Prefer cherry brown or red switches and a single piece design (not a fan of the 2-piece keyboards). Also prefer a number pad though not required as I can always add one separately if needed.

I'm self-hosting Tiny Tiny RSS mostly for podcasts and previously also some Reddit subs I was particularly interested in. TTRSS works well for me in that it's OS independent and has phone app for easy listening on the go.

+1 for DDG

And thank you for reminding about bangs

I was searching for Reddit alternatives and found a rather long list that included which were open source, federated, had apps, etc. and that's where I first heard about Lemmy. As I was browsing the different sites I found additional people talking about Lemmy specifically and that got me to research further and eventually join.
