I follow the daily best posts on hacker news https://hnrss.github.io/

This exposes me to quite interesting blogs (mainly tech, but not always). If I find someone worth following, I’ll add their blog to my list as well. That’s how I’ve been building my RSS feeds over the years.

From the non tech blogs that I’ve found there, from the top of my head, these are nice

https://going-medieval.com/ - medieval history professor’s blog. She’s quite witty, and makes super interesting posts about the daily lifes of people in the middle ages.

https://brr.fyi - blog from an IT guy working in a scientific research center in Antarctica.

Depends on the effort.

If you want a newbie friendly one with syncing: Feedly

If you care about open source and controlling your own data (but don’t care about syncing). Maybe liferea? There are tons of options.

If you care about syncing and don’t mind self-hosting: miniflux.

I use miniflux, but requires some tech knowledge to set up.

I have a RSS reader that I check everyday for articles / blogposts from websites I subscribe to.

The interesting stuff gets saved in Wallabag to read later. It syncs with my phone, and I can read offline whenever I got some time to kill.

Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.

Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?

I imagine it wouldn’t take long until someone finds a way to disable that LED.

The CEO of Unity was also CEO, COO, and president of EA. So, is anyone surprised?

Or even better: buy soon to expire put options just before the announcement. 10x your money.

Damn… that’s rough.

Hopefully they’ll backpedal on this decision for now (they are already getting a lot of flack). But I guess the message has been sent. Wouldn’t be surprised if Unity starts bleeding users after this.

Best of luck!

For the studios releasing a game in a few months, it’s probably too late to ditch unity, but would make sense to start looking at alternatives for their next projects.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Godot explodes in popularity in the next 5 years.

According to the article, it’s not retroactively charged, but still bad if your game is about to come out and you haven’t accounted for this.

The margins on the gamedev industry are not that large, you should read some testimonies from veterans. It’s a ruthless industry.

Games take years to make, and you can’t change engines now if your game is about to come out.

Genuinely curious, what would the advantages be?

Also, what if the Linux distro does not have systemd?

The conspiracy theory part of my brain tells me it’s the way companies can add an addictive substance to food without adding calories.

Yes.

All my self hosted containers are bound to some volume (since they require reading settings or databases).

True.

But I assume OP was already running docker from that user, so they are comfortable with those permissions.

Maybe should have made it clearer. Added to my other post. Thanks!

You shouldn’t need sudo to run docker, just can create a docker group and add your user to it. This will give you the steps on how to run docker without sudo.

Edit: as pointed out below, please make sure that you’re comfortable with giving these permissions to the user you’re adding to the docker group.

For the littering part, just type crontab -e and add the following line:

@daily docker system prune -a -f

I see you already have an answer using podman.

But don’t be afraid of the command line. If you can copy/paste a few commands, it’s pretty easy to set up.

I honestly find installing docker harder than to start a locally hosted searxng instance.

Also, something like self-hosting your own email is way harder and requires a lot more maintenance. I’d leave that project to further down the line.

Not sure it will solve your problem, but if you’re not happy with the public SearXNG instances, you can run your own instance of SearXNG on your local machine, and even set up custom filters and redirects to get rid of SEO junk.
