So cool to learn about these, thanks! I've tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I've wanted for a while now.

This looks promising, thank you! I'm a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.
Ooo I didn't know about muting boosts, thanks! It'll do for now.
And yeah I forget that the Fediverse still has many kinks with connections, great point. Even for your comment, it doesn't appear when I go to my post, only when I go to notifications. And trying to respond on the Memmy app repeatedly crashes, so I had to respond through browser instead.
From their mastodon:
so my goal with sup. is to make a federated snapchat/whatsapp that is compatible with most platforms. This was originally going to be a Pixelfed specific Messenger-like app, but then it hit me - this is a perfect opportunity to create a sub project that could be eventually handed over to a trusted org.
Seems like a fine ambition but Pixelfed is still in beta and buggy as hell. I’d like to see that improve (so that more people will want to use it) first.
Good to hear! The Obsidian plugin has worked great for me so far. It really simplifies note taking.
Why is Pocket discontinuing Pocket for Mac?
We are creating a more consistent user experience across mobile and web, making it easier for you to discover, save and access your content on any device, at any time.
Incredible explanation. Btw, Omnivore is a great open source alternative with a macOS app for anyone needing to migrate somewhere.
Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.
Definitely time and learning curve. I’ve really wanted to self host some apps for 1–2 months now. Currently taking basic sql and python courses so that I can do the installations and databases correctly. App documentation is usually lacking and YT tutorials lead to more products and terms I’ve never heard of. There’s a big learning curve for non-programmers.
Yes I mark mine up, surprised so many here don’t. I used to be a person that never did, but heard some people on podcasts highly recommend it, and I also began wanting to take notes. I think it adds value to the book on a re-read if you do it cleanly. I underline the first and last word of the highlight, with a curly bracket in the margin to indicate the area (sometimes a comment added), and a small plus sign in the top right corner to indicate which pages are noted. Then I can flip through when finished and dictate the notes to my computer. But they also make sticky tabs for page notes if you don’t wanna mark books up. I do have some visual or big coffee table books, like Poor Charlie’s Almanack, that I don’t want to mark up inside.
