I’ve been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.

You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/

You’ll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.

edit: holy hell. Grammar.

The number one thing that most of these don’t do well for me is the connection with banks.

A bit of an anecdote, but i was a long-time user of Mint, which integrated with all my banks and credit cards, which was nice.

When I decided to selfhost, I was disappointed that bank syncing wasn’t a thing, or it had these roundabout ways of working, or they simply didn’t support the banks and credit cards i use.

So… I ended up wity Money Manager EX.

Once i did the initial importing of my records, everything since has been manually entered.

Now, this might seem tedious depending on how many transactions and accounts you manage, but it’s really not.

Depending on how often you update your records, you can do an easy export/import of your transactions from your bank (usually a csv export). Doing this once a month isn’t terrible.

I just manually enter all my transactions. Yes, more work, but also less frustration and it makes me feel more in touch with my spending.

Even not having to worry about the hassle of syncing not working, or having to fix things like that is a huge weight off my shoulders.

Anyway, just wanted to share my experience because bank syncing shouldn’t be a make-or-break thing.

Just wait until everyone is forced to wear screens on their faces 24/7, because that’s the way tech companies want us to live. I’m not being sarcastic, either.

There’s a reason why so many people consciously choose to “disconnect” when they want a mental break. If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?

This is not personal emissions of billionaires, its including their businesses.

The Oxfam report says that private planes and “superyachts” are contributing factors, as well as investments in polluting industries like oil and mining.

Nowhere does it mention that their businesses are what’s contributing to their carbon footprint. They are explicitly talking about their lifestyle choices.

So, I’m not sure where you got that info from, but if they are including businesses that these billionaires run, I’d be interested in seeing that data.

Mind you, the majority of these billionaires are in software… a business that’s very easy to convert over to a carbon-neutral model, especially with their resources.

This infuriates me.

I would actually love to do more to REDUCE my carbon footprint, but it’s prohibitively expensive to.

But billionaires (and millionaires) can literally greenify every aspect of their lives, even be carbon-neutral or carbon negative! But they choose not to.

I think taxing the rich just isn’t enough. We need to CAP the rich. There should be no billionaires.

That might be the difference! None of the houses on our street have them, so groceries get unloaded from the driveway, straight into the front door.

You’ve never seen your neighbors carrying groceries inside.

I’m going to assume that you either don’t have windows, or you don’t go outside.

I see multiple neighbours, multiple times a month, bringing groceries into their house.

Quite a few times this happens while I’m also outside, in passing.

But now I’m super curious how you don’t see your neighbours doing the same! 😂

I think one of the reasons why I stopped gaming as an adult, is because I realized that pretty much all the popular games are rigged to keep you going. The progression is artificial, and demotivates me to invest time in it.

Old games were basically: play them, and with the right skill you can complete the levels and finish. Simple, fun, and you didn’t have to return back to the game in 11h:23m:45sec in order to “unlock” anything, either. You turn it on when you want, then turn it off. You can return to it months or even years later and it makes no difference.

New games? Always moving the goal posts. You have to pay to level up quickly, but the next level just sets you up for another artificial grind. Spin a wheel or open a loot crate? Those are just programmed to give you exactly the items you need to keep going a little further. Seasons, timed events, social media integration… all the fun is sucked out.

Video games use quite a few of the same tactics that you’ll see in lotteries, casinos, and other “games of chance”.

Once you realize that, you can’t unsee it.

It’s sad that the most unhealthy games are the ones ranked as most played on the google play store 😮‍💨

This is the type of announcement you’d expect to hear on April 1st. 🤔

Yup. I’m either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.

For now, I’m holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.

you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden.

Well, I’d prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.

I dont know if any specific model will be the right answer, but Qualcomm has their Snapdragon event going on right now, and many of the advancements they are touting are specifically for local AI processing.

So, computing power will improve significantly over the next few years, with AI being the largest benefactor.

Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there’s a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.

I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I’m not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it’s one of the easy ones!

I’d say it’s more linked to how many dependents you have, rather than money in the bank.

Someone with no kids, no wife spouse (edit), and no pets can be spontaneous without a second thought.

Someone who’s tied down, but wealthy, not so much.

They will choose to stop if it doesn’t make them money. 😀

But yes, not allowing them to do this in the first place would be a very reasonable thing to fight for.

Floccus is actually just a sync tool, it can also sync with Linkwarden in the latest version.

No way! I just uninstalled Linkwarden because it wasn’t working well on too many websites (i.e. it would capture cookie popups or “choose your country” rather than the page I wanted).

Glad to see some cool updates and integration, though.

Everyone should enter these stores dressed up like it’s Payday (the video game) until they stop with this facial recognition nonsense.

Wow. That’s cool.
