database schema improvements, which is a particularly tricky thing to work on

Not, if you know what you’re doing.

I dont like AI, I wish I could go back to the world before it, but I cant.

You do know that you can use LLMs to get inspiration and suggestions but then still implement those things by hand? Which is also a great way to make sure it doesn’t change something else in the background. Also, if you use Claude like you’ve used StackOverflow and Google before, you don’t even have to mention it as a Co-Author.

Pro-tip: Block the user “claude” on GitHub and it’ll show you a warning for every repository where they forgot to remove the Co-Author tags:

v3 Migration Guide

[!NOTE] Upgrading to Paperless-ngx v3 can only be performed from version 2.20.15. If you are running an older version, please upgrade to v2.20.15 before proceeding with the v3 upgrade.

dovecot/dovecot and solr should do the trick. At least they do for me.

EDIT: Two advantages of this setup for me: I can easily drag&drop emails from my other email accounts to this “archive” account in Thunderbird. And once I want to “seal” an archive folder, I can gzip the underlying mbox file and make it read-only (dovecot needs to be configured to store mails in mbox files).

Eh, there’s not really a better/worse between Gitea and ForgeJo. Gitea is targeting business customers, ForgeJo is targeting the open source community.

Yes, I’m using that after a short foray into Pixelfed. And together with @mczachurski@mastodon.social 's Impressia iOS app it’s a really good experience.

You can tune SearXNG results in a similar way. There’s just no easy UI for it.

And yes, it’s often slower than commercially available search engines - but it’s completely free, without trackers, and it’s combining results from various different engines. I can live with that.

Residential IP (runs in a Docker container on a Raspberry Pi 5 here), pretty much vanilla (apart from Marginalia).

Kagi is still $10+tax a month. That’s $120 a year (plus tax).

SearXNG is $0 and a few minutes of my time whenever I tweak the configuration.

No problems with my SearXNG here at all (just have to look into Qwant):

That’s what I settled for as well. Keeping my *.kdbx file in iCloud, doing nightly backups to my NAS, and using Strongbox as a client (there’s also KeePassium with similar features) - which beautifully integrates into Apple’s AutoFill API, so it feels native - i.e. as if you’re using Apple’s Passwords app. And I can access all passwords from Windows using KeePassXC as well.

If you host it on a VPS and stop paying the invoices, it’ll go down anyway. However, AFAIK, Bitwarden client apps cache all passwords - so your family would still be able to access them, but there would be no sync back, of course.

Have you considered using something like a KeePass database on a shared drive? Most modern client apps can sync changes seamlessly and there are browser plugins for all the major browsers.

For the curious people like me: AirTrail

I can get almost two Punkt MP02 for that.

From the linked article:

Two things that aren’t changing: every Strava athlete can still access and download their data for free, at any time – and wearable and device integrations are not affected.

For everyone else who’s deep into the Apple world: No iOS app and thus no sync to Apple Health.

There’s also XPenology - a hacked Synology software to run on non-Synology systems. Awesome when you’ve got it running, can be somewhat adventurous and/or nerve-wrecking when a major update is due.

If you are not a Gitea customer, you are not being informed of security updates in a timely manner

I don’t need a notification of issues, I need a notification of when there’s a new version to roll out. And that can be solved by using things like WatchTower or setting up release notifications on GitHub.

And, of course, a comparison hosted on ForgeJo’s webpage will make it out that they’re “the better choice”.

Also, ForgeJo was promising federation which is still a WIP several years later.

Oh no, it doesn’t do the big feature™. I guess it’s unusable now.

Well, that was the one big distinguishing thing between the two, back when ForgeJo was the new kid on the block. ForgeJo wanted to make it a priority to implement federation.

And I never said it’s unusable - it’s just that I, personally, don’t see any reason to switch from Gitea to ForgeJo.

I’m staying with Gitea. They’ve created the Ltd. so they can sell professional support as most businesses will want a proper invoice. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Also, ForgeJo was promising federation which is still a WIP several years later. And, the one time I’ve tried ForgeJo it shit itself when I’ve added an emoji to my username. For some reason Gitea didn’t have any problem with that.

For #1 a quick search spat out this.

For #2 have a look into XPenology.
