Good morning, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse!

I've finally launched the #wiki of BSD Cafe (https://wiki.bsd.cafe) - for now, it only contains some information about our Cafe, but it will become a repository for both internal (how BSD Cafe services work, etc.) and external (tutorials, etc.) information, available to BSD Cafe users who can publish and edit content.

At the same time, I've also brought the new #Miniflux online, with registration and access info in the wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/miniflux-bsd-cafe

Have fun, have a great day, and stay tuned!

#NewWiki #ServiceUpdate #Community #BSDCafeUpdates #BSDCafeServices #RSS #WikiJS #PoweredByBSD

Friends of #BSDCafe, #Miniflux is ready, the #Wiki is not.

I don't want to wait any longer, so if you're a user of #BSDCafe and want an account on our Miniflux, feel free to send me a direct message, and I'll provide you with the access credentials.

Have a great day!

@ryan Might I suggest #Miniflux? It's $15 a year for their paid hosting. Or you can host it yourself, if you're into that sort of thing.

https://miniflux.app

It does some handy stuff like:

- Fetching original articles for truncated feeds.
- Regex filters to only display (or remove) particular articles from your feeds.
- Google Reader and Fever API compatibility, so there's plenty of desktop and mobile apps.

Most importantly tho:

- No AI crud.

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
today has been another fairly busy day, but fortunately, less so than yesterday. I managed to get some practice with the #drone and took a few videos.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to get back to work on the #Wiki and on #Miniflux (it's ready and functional), so we can finally have an additional service (Miniflux) and a hub for services and articles (Wiki).

Stay tuned!

#BSDCafeUpdates #NewProjects #Community

Dear friends from #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, today marks one month since the public announcement of the beginning of the BSD Cafe project.
The results have exceeded my expectations: we now have around 80 active users (some signed up but deleted their accounts after a few days, and I had to handle a few problematic ones - otherwise we'd be more or less 90).

There are several bots up & running (also quite popular), and the poll for the #RSS reader just ended - #Miniflux won, but I suspected it and had already prepared everything in anticipation.

Soon, I'll be launching the #wiki, which will also include instructions and details about other services. BSD Cafe, in fact, won't just be this instance, but a series of services and tools (#BSD based).

Stay tuned, have a great #Sunday, and happy first month to the friends of BSD Cafe!

#Anniversary #BSDProjects #Community #BSDCafeUpdates

@feoh @wallabag@tcit.fr I use #wallabag on the smallest hetzner vps (4GB RAM, 2 cores) without problems. And other services such as #miniflux and a non federating #peertube also run on this same machine quite satisfactorily (well peertube not so great but it works). All installed through #yunohost

I use #miniflux, because I like to read my feeds on both my phone and desktop, and don't want to read the same items again.

But I would prefer a local app like Rssguard or Newsboat. Is there a way I can have my cake and eat it too? #RSS

@RainBow If you don't mind self-hosting, #miniflux is a lightweight #opensource solution with an adaptable web UI and syncs well with a bunch of great client apps. For an easy commercial solution, #Feedly is pretty cool.

Okay, so #miniflux is up and running. Let's give it a test run and see how it goes.

@wim_s @lisamelton @newsblur for me it was a short march from Reader to self hosted Fever to FeedWrangler to self hosted #miniflux

https://miniflux.app/

So, you may know that I love #caddyserver and been meaning to have a proper go with caddy-security https://github.com/greenpau/caddy-security for a long time. Now I'm logging into #linkding and #miniflux with SSO, MFA with TOTP and #yubikey 🤘

@_DigitalWriter_ So nutze ich den RSS Dienst auch.

Nur statt FreshRSS tut hier seit Jahren #miniflux zur vollen Zufriedenheit seinen Dienst.

After two decades of Linux, I got curious and installed #FreeBSD on my server in the basement. Planning to run #wallabag and #miniflux on it. Let’s see how this goes.

@DrSuzanne geek mode on: I installed my own self-hosted version of #miniflux on a @yunohost server.

Non geek suggestions: use an RSS feed reader and you'll be free to choose the sites you want. Miniflux also has a paid version (of only 15€/yr) if you don't want to install things. I have never tried other softwares

https://miniflux.app/

@arkd #MiniFlux for reader and go to https://rssproxy-v1.migor.org/ to create a feed out of almost every website #RSS #WebFeed #Feed #FeedReader

I've been a #Feedly user for many years - from the first Google Reader refugees exodus, up to the point where they made things like IFTTT or Evernote integrations only available for paid accounts.

I already saw where the company was headed back then. And I acknowledged that, had I been at the head of such a business, I probably would have taken the same decisions as well. Because there's just no easy/painless way of monetizing RSS/Atom feeds that doesn't involve either monetizing basic features, or scooping up more user data.

Once I acknowledged this simple truth, I decided that I would have never trusted again anybody who allured me into keeping my feed subscriptions on their computers.

Some tips to the Feedly refugees on what I've been using in the past years as alternatives:

- #Miniflux. I just love it. Clean, versatile, well-documented, it even allows you to customize the CSS from the control panel. NextCloud News is also a good alternative, but I found it to be heavier, less customizable and with less available integrations.

- #Wallabag. An amazing alternative to Evernote/Pocket etc., and it even comes with a native Miniflux integration to synchronize the saved articles.

On the mobile side:

- #KOReader. It's optimized for e-ink devices, so it may look a bit spartan the first time, but it's probably one of the most powerful mobile apps I've ever used. It really runs everywhere, included my old e-ink Mobiscribe tablet that still runs Android Marshmallow. On top of being an amazing ebook reader that integrates natively with any OPDS stream, it also integrates natively with #Wallabag, so you can read your saved articles on any Android device. It also offers its own self-hosted sync service inspired by Whispersync. And it also integrates with WebDAV, so you can even synchronize your NextCloud files, notes or ebooks. It also supports RSS feeds, but I don't use it for that - first because it doesn't (yet?) integrate with Miniflux/NextCloud News, secondly because it basically pre-fetches and converts all the articles into ePUB format, which is far from ideal if you're subscribed to many high-volume feeds.

- The News app (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/co.appreactor.news/) as an alternative to the Feedly app. It's very well-designed, and it integrates with both Miniflux and NextCloud News.

Happy migration!

Just upgraded the RAM on my #selfhosted home server from 8GB to 16GB, which cost me peanuts. It does feel more snappy, and with room to expand!

My growing list of personal services:

#Nextcloud
#Miniflux
#Gitlab
#HomeAssistant
Wallabag
Ghost (for my personal blog)
Umami analytics
#Searx NG
#OnlyOffice document server
Gotify
Lychee
LAMP Stack
TheLounge (IRC web client)
Cockpit (server manager)
RSSHub

#Selfhost #SelfHosting

If you love #selfhosting and #ansible you should check out this project: https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook

We try to put as many services as we can into one playbook. To enable a service you often only need to put in 1-3 variables. It is less than a week old and we already have quite a few services integrated, from #nextcloud, #vaultwarden and #miniflux to #gitea or #WoodpeckerCI

Have a look!

I really hope this will land soon.🥳

#miniflux

If you like to read RSS on several devices, host your own reader, #miniflux

Read on one device and pick back up on another without having to skip already read posts. No app required on your device. A small footprint, written in go.
