The minimal #selfoss tweaks, including dark-mode and the #mobile tweaks I am currently writing, are coming a long way to make the webapp / #PWA actually comfortable to use on a smartphone

Migrating all my tools was quite a hassle, eventhough most of my self-written ones require not much configuring (if at all) and need no databases, etc.

I switched my rss reader from #miniflux to #selfoss, let's see how that turns out. I am also thinking about trying #ttrss again.

I do need to limit server load on this tiny 1-core, 1 GB RAM VPS. But that is part of the fun! Now, in the coming weeks I plan to go over my tools again and improve their performance (especially server-load) substantially. I think there is still room for improvement!

For example, I would love for yt2html to be pure #PHP instead of the old #Rstats script. Also, I would like to write a really simple file-based notes and bookmarking tool in PHP and retire the linkding service I am running, as it is a bit overkill for my uses.

I've been using #selfoss for a few months now as my #selfhosted #news/#rss aggregator and stumble upon many quirks in the web and android client every other time. Might be time to return to #ttrss? I do like the simplicity of hosting selfoss over ttrss though. Have you tried other solutions?

I'm quite happy with my current setup of self hosted services on my VPS, including the fediverse server #ktistec, the RSS aggregator #selfoss and a bunch of tiny self written services & scripts (+ Websites).

All of which are as simple and low footprint as possible to make them easily maintainable. E.g. websites are completely static content, created with #hugo.

Feels like small islands that are isolated from outside factors, yet let me interact with others out there. That's probably how the internet must have felt like pre Web 2.0, when many people still had their own blogs, rather than using centralized, monopolistic platforms.

I am thinking about co-hosting more complex software together with others (and sharing costs...) like invidious. So if you are interested, send me an e-mail (contact + PGP avail. on my website)
