I hate products with generic names. It makes it utterly impossible to search for.
Even if this OP post might explain it, it is still useless when taken out of context like in the esteemed comment above this one.
/rant, sorry, thank you.
I’m gonna start a company that creates cheap life saving products called “Chris”
And the essential companion product, Potato.
On a slightly related note, if you ever want a blast of the past, check out the ASCII art section of chris.com
Its a CRM, i agree with the gripes about the name but tbf I’m kinda surprised to see it on here? The GitHub repo seems pretty dead
Recently discovered changedetection.io. It nicely filled the need I had. I have it watching a few static forum posts for updates that are communicated that way.
I’m a little confused. It’s this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.
If you don’t want to self host, they offer hosting.
Got it.
That seems pretty cool.
Oh wow… My 10 year old python script may be replaced now.
Edit: And I already had it starred, because it works just like my 10 year old python script.
You can go semi-advanced mode by using regex to ignore certain line changes. Some sites require you to go super-advanced mode by using playwright running in a headless-v2 container rather than just plain text mode.
It’s nice being able to see the history of changes. Especially when there’s multiple rapidfire changes.
Oh yea, I’m still going to try it out the next time I need to page watch.
does this count as a spoiler?
This feels 1000% like a chatgpt prompt copy and pasted into a webpage.
That’s because it is.
and it is great 👌🏻- no reason to do everything yourself when you got tools to make it easier.
edit because all the downvotes: 😅 one only mentions the slightest positive thing about AI, and you get massive downvotes. Guess it is human nature to dislike change. Reminds me of a story my grandad told me on how all the taxi “drivers” (that then rode horse and carriage) hated those awful cars. Even mentioning cars had them spitting the ground, swearing. They were surely never going to change…
I think AI is great, and I think it gives us many new ways of doing (or not doing) things. Both positive and negative. And yes I do hate the energy consumption, computer prices etc that it has caused. But this is something that will fix itself given a little time 😊
If what you have to say isn’t important enough to write then it definitely isn’t important enough to read.
Let Chatgpt read it for you
Oh shit that edit is hilarious and you don’t even see the irony in it.
This is the story of how, in the 1920s, the auto industry chased people off the streets of America — by waging a brilliant psychological campaign. So the death toll was astounding. In cities of more than 25,000 people, cars were a leading cause of death by 1925. In the 1920s alone, car drivers killed over 200,000 Americans.
over 100 years later and some communities are still fighting for policies that allow an environment that fosters connection and value of life over powerful industry lobbyists trying to take over with their products (sound familiar?). But for sure, it will just fix itself if we just give it a little more time 😘
Just saw this reply. I have to say that I find tools like Claude code indispensable in helping me through my workflow. I have used them enough to the point I know where I’m getting “divorced” from my thought process.
Once that happens, I feel like it no longer belongs to me. It’s someone else’s understanding of what I understood.
And that is my problem with AI generated anything. I am looking at a second-hand take of a second-hand ideation.
I also love when I buy something off of Etsy believe it to be hand made, and it ends up being a dropshipped piece of garbage.
Yea, no links to any of the tools.

Why this matters –
I would add searxng - a bit finnicky to set up but very powerful and customizeable.
I like the idea of SearXNG, but I don’t see why so many people like it for self hosting. You’re still querying search engines with your IP which in many self hosted cases is the same IP as the one you browse the internet with. I think SearXNG is really good if you setup a service on a server IP (like a VPS) and it gets used by multiple people, or if you tunnel it trough a VPN, but then again you could also just VPN your search engine searches.
So why do you like it? Is it for the aggregation of multiple engines? Or maybe the fact that it doesn’t link your specific browser to a search? I really wonder and am not hating.
You’re still querying search engines with your IP
IP in itself might not be as much of a problem, unless you have a static IP, which most consumers don’t. And even if you do, you are also hiding a lot of baggage relating to user agents or other fingerprintable settings. IP alone is rarely used as a sole point to link your traffic to other datapoints. On top of that, you can still just decide to exclude google, bing etc from your search results and rely more “open” ones like DDG or ecosia.
Another huge upside of searxng is the aggregation of results. The search results of google are all up to, well, google. Same with bing, which is controlled by microsoft. If these companies now decide to “surpress” certain information, people using only those engines directly would no longer see those news. However, if you get your results from multiple search engines, you are not - or lets say less - affected by that kind of nonsense.
As always with news and information, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. And that’s where searxng helps out tremendously.
- Aggregation of multiple engines
- Per-engine weight control
- Good UX
- Filtering of bad domains from the search results
- More generally, very customizable
Searxng is my most used self hosted service. It’s amazing

Same here, but I’ve began to wonder if using the same connection/ip could be used to help with fingerprinting
AI generation aside, not a bad list. I’d add searxng, and, opnsense/pfsense is really awesome to have with pfblocker, and then wireguard so you get all the benefits on the go.
Sadly SearXNG is plagued by captcha limit. Nothing I tried reliable works.
Not even running your own? Once you get past the Docker config you can have your own endpoint. Mine has never had any issues. As far as I understand it looks just like you yourself using the various sourced services, which it is.
I do run it in docker. It used to work great until few months ago. Maybe my provider (Hetzner) ip triggers captcha. Tried tor proxy and it didn’t make much difference. Brave, Startpage, DDG - all periodically throw captcha / too many request errors.
Yeah might be the IP range of the provide. Also sometimes it stops working till you update. But I expect the hetzner IP range has more than one self hosted instance on it so probably gets tagged for the whole range.
Opencloud instead of nextcloud
Or, just radicale and syncthing (if you don’t need a webUI)
Syncthing isn’t quite the same
I’d be more likely to use a SMB share
True… could be both… or perhaps copyparty.
I was thinking more along the colab side, where syncthing is working on your laptop and mine to sync our files, rather than central storage, but fair point.
I have a working radicale lxc currently powered off because the integration is almost 100% app dependant on a Googlefied device. I can apparent just add a caldav easy as that in graphene but my wife’s aosp device ala Google fi needs an app and they ask y seem to suck.
Radicale just implements CalDAV and CardDAV so use any clients you want.
I’m mostly using the Fossify from F-Droid - their calendar, contacts, all work with DAVx5 syncing to radicale and it works fine… no 3rd party tracking my dentist appointments.
I also have TrackerControl running on my phone, so I know that there’s no tracking.
I use owncloud
If I’m only looking for document storage and maybe a caldav (Android caldav options are rough) what would be best?
Can confirm, solid list for everyone. Only uptime kuma was replaced by beszel in my setup.
Why?
I tried to setup some kinda self hosted AI image generation last month. I didn’t know wtf I was doing and accomplished nothing. Need to give it another try.
@GaMEChld @selfhosted I kinda got this running and I’m here to tell you - unless you’re willing to babysit it through the constant changes and updates and dependency hell that creates, you might be better off just paying for api use at something like https://fal.ai/
Yeah, this is true. I just like to tinker. I already pay for one AI tool for like actual use as a tool in my life. The self hosted image thing attempt was like, hey my next home lab project, let’s see how easy it is to just get an image generated from scratch with nothing currently setup! The answer I found was, "you still need more training grasshopper. Much to learn. "
