Are you interested in hosting this for people you already know and trust, like friends and neighbors, or am I misunderstanding your use case?

I’ve never tried it myself, but maybe see if Snipe-IT would work for your needs?

From their docs intro:

Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on - although we’ve definitely seen folks using for non-IT asset tracking as well. Oil rigs, theater equipment, even human body parts! (We didn’t ask too many questions about that last one.)

Unfortunately it doesn’t support OIDC.

There’s also the Koha library management system which does support OIDC.

How about a family wiki using something like MediaWiki? Or host music with Navidrome?

I’ve never written any Visual Basic (A or otherwise) but I was under the impression that VBA was just for extending functionality of existing Microsoft Office applications, no?

Which of these are you interested in using?

What do you use for notes and how do you connect it to Linkwarden? Many years ago I used Pocket (formerly known as Read It Later) and I eventually realized I was saving stuff and never going back to it.

I recently started saving stuff in HelixNotes because I figured the problem was saving things without context. (And putting them directly in my notes ensures there’s always context around them)

I haven’t tried Linkwarden but it sounds awesome. I just don’t wanna run into the same issue I had with hoarding links like I did with Pocket.

Why do you use a VPN? I only use one when torrenting. Basically all my traffic is over HTTPS, and my DNS is encrypted via NextDNS so I don’t think I need one usually

You and I are both using Lemmy via the Lemmy.ml instance. If Lemmy.ml blocks (aka “defederates from”) another Lemmy instance, you and I won’t be able to interract with people on that blocked instance.

You can seen the block list here: https://lemmy.ml/instances

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.

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
