I currently push to a private GitHub repository (planning on moving to a self-hosted Forgejo instance soon).

Although making my nix configuration public would be safe anyway since I use sops-nix which encrypts all my passwords in the repo using a key derived from my SSH key. During nixos-rebuild it decrypts them and puts them each in their own text file at /run/secrets, with permissions set so you need sudo to view them. (The permissions can be tweaked as needed)

It was a pain in the neck to get started with initially (like NixOS itself), but it was very much worth it. (Basically a necessity since putting secrets even in a private repo is considered bad practice)

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

It links out to the source webpage, so this might not be what you’re looking for.

Although this might inspire me to build a single page app generator using Astro that does that.

This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

This is what Torvalds himself recommends to all real Linux fans

I’ve been using NixOS for my laptop and servers for over a year and I’m totally obsessed with it. While I upvoted you for visibility, I wouldn’t really call NixOS obscure anymore. I’m constantly seeing it randomly mentioned in various distro-agnostic Linux spaces online lately.

Although it’s been seeing a lot of hype lately, I agree it’s still sort of niche and definitely not for everyone.

Do you use git? That basically forces you to do some documentation as you go. Multi-line commit messages are often helpful too. (When I first learned git, I only committed using git commit -m which is a bit restrictive in terms of how much you can fit in commit messages)

All my computers (including servers) share the same NixOS Flake. So my documentation consists of:

1. The Nix code itself
2. The commit messages for each change I make
3. Inline comments in the Nix code
4. A few readme.md files to explain the contents of certain directories

I think copyparty would accomplish that pretty well

Any advantages over using Seal for Android? Is it primarily for iPhone users?

I’ve recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They’ve been pushing a lot of updates so I’m excited to see where it goes.

Fuckin’ “A.”

Good example of why I don’t rely on technology I don’t control. I want my workflow to be future-proof and have a predictable cost.

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.

Huge strides to make things run anywhere and be more involved with the open source community.

Are you familiar with Embrace, extend, and extinguish?

I’m a programmer who’s never used AI. Instead of spending my time correcting and confirming the correctness of generated code, I’d rather figure it out for myself. I think this helps me reinforce my skills and understanding in the long term. Plus it’s one less thing to rely on/maintain/pay for.

My current setup isn’t available outside my house so I was planning on hosting something like WireGuard. What’s the advantage of Headscale over a more traditional VPN?

I haven’t used it myself, but you might want to check out Processing.

Seal is my favorite app to demonstrate the power of installing apps outside of Google Play
