Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I deGoogled (for the most part I still use Youtube, but via unwatched) years ago one thing I missed was Google news, sure I had reddit to stay up on some of the local stories but I stopped using that last year, and local Lemmy is not quite as active. So I needed to find a way to emulate the Google News emails I have now done it I have vibe coded with Claude to get a lot of my news sent to me from my pi!

It searches multiple places and does not include things in previous emails, or stories in more than one outlet. Yes RSS would be easier but that is multiple streams.

So instead of giving Google your data, you're giving it to Claude. How is this any better?

It is a python script that runs on my pi, Claude just helped me fix my errors and replicate it.

What do you mean by RSS being "multiple streams"? How does your Python script search multiple places?

RSS combines multiple feeds into one, like this: https://feed.lovergne.dev/demo/

My scripts work together to find news stories in different RSS feeds and web pages combines them all together and than emails stuff to me, the same news stories should not show up in different emails.

Kind of like an RSS feed reader does. It collects articles from different rss feeds and presents them to you in one place.
