How I self host

I self host most of my services at home. As of right now its a RaspberyPi Zero 2W and a RaspberyPi 5 8GB that is connected to a NAS for backup and storing data. I host light services like my dns and password manager on the zero 2W and heavier services like immich and nextcloud on the powerful pi 5. Also, if there is a service that is I can't get it to work on my home server I host it on fly.io.

RSS Feeds I follow

Most good rss feeds provide the whole article content in the rss feed so you can read in your rss reader. However some don't or just don't work properly, so I use morss to get a full rss feed.

• Hackaday: Cool software & hardware hacks & projects. (rss)
• It's Foss: Linux centric news and tips. (rss, morss)
• It's Foss News: Genral FOSS related news. (rss, morss)
• RaspberyPi News: RaspberyPi news. (rss)
• OMG! Ubuntu: Ubuntu related news and tips, but also works for other distro. (rss, morss)
• XKCD: Got to throw in the best science/ tech related web comic. (rss)

I am done with twitter

I am done with twitter (for now), recently I started getting random bot followers, and that was the last straw. I have now removed the link to my twitter on most of my profiles, and am now fully on Mastodon. My account is now going to purely be used to just follow other who hasn't migrated.
I was looking at BluSky, but decided to hold of for now; it seems like an echo chamber of people who hate twitter. Also I like the idea of software that can be hosted by anyone and developed by a non-profit (however non-profit has the problem of one day dying out when funding dries up, but I don't care as of now).
