I currently push to a private GitHub repository (planning on moving to a self-hosted Forgejo instance soon).

Although making my nix configuration public would be safe anyway since I use sops-nix which encrypts all my passwords in the repo using a key derived from my SSH key. During nixos-rebuild it decrypts them and puts them each in their own text file at /run/secrets, with permissions set so you need sudo to view them. (The permissions can be tweaked as needed)

It was a pain in the neck to get started with initially (like NixOS itself), but it was very much worth it. (Basically a necessity since putting secrets even in a private repo is considered bad practice)

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

Check the demo: https://feed.lovergne.dev/demo

It links out to the source webpage, so this might not be what you’re looking for.

Although this might inspire me to build a single page app generator using Astro that does that.

This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

Do you use git? That basically forces you to do some documentation as you go. Multi-line commit messages are often helpful too. (When I first learned git, I only committed using git commit -m which is a bit restrictive in terms of how much you can fit in commit messages)

All my computers (including servers) share the same NixOS Flake. So my documentation consists of:

1. The Nix code itself
2. The commit messages for each change I make
3. Inline comments in the Nix code
4. A few readme.md files to explain the contents of certain directories

I know how to fix that

I think copyparty would accomplish that pretty well

vlc --help outputs text with colors which makes it so much easier to skim

jq is sort of like awk but specifically meant for JSON so it should be a lot easier.

If you view the source of the homepage, you’ll see some HTML that starts with this:

<div class="archive-dropdown-wrap">
    <ul class="archive-dropdown">                       
        <li><span class="chapter-label">Issue 1</span><ul><li><a href="https://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-1/page-0/">Cover

That’s the HTML for the drop-down. Although if I were you, I’d look into taking advantage of WordPress’ JSON API, since that website uses WordPress.

For example, here’s a list of the images uploaded to the site in JSON format: https://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media?per_page=100&page=1 (Limited to 100 entries per page)

Any advantages over using Seal for Android? Is it primarily for iPhone users?

They think this will take some of the heat off of them. Hopefully no one actually thinks this is a reasonable compromise. If I want to help an elderly family member install something on their phone during Thanksgiving dinner or a family reunion, I’m not gonna want to wait a day. Uncle Paul’s flying back to Florida tomorrow morning!

I don’t know your exact use case, but I suspect that learning Godot might be very worth it. It’s a really intuitive engine.

I’ve recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They’ve been pushing a lot of updates so I’m excited to see where it goes.

AutoHotkey. I’ve been meaning to try out AHK_X11 although I don’t think there’s a Wayland option yet :\

Oh and CorelDRAW. Inkscape is not bad but its UI is not quite as slick.

I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)

good bot
