It pops up on BundleHunt every once in a while.

MountainDuck supports this. They call it “cache on demand”. So you could setup an SFTP connection and use it via that. The next version of MountainDuck - v5 - should even support SMB.

On this Reddit thread they suggested SeaFile as their client explicitly supports selective sync. And also MountainDuck which can work with various protocols.

EDIT: Mountain Duck 5 even adds SMB support.

Similar here. As I don’t need multi-user support, I don’t bother with self-hosting some tool.

Bookmarks go to Safari where they’re synced between all my Apple devices and pop up automatically in the address bar.

And long-term bookmarks (news articles, references, etc.) go into Anybox which keeps an offline copy of the website so I can still read it in 10-20 years.

You know you can basically implement Healthchecks.io completely in Zabbix using zabbix-sender or any compatible implementation of it? (Or find a better way, e.g. querying the timestamp of a logfile or even check the logfile for “OK” or “ERROR” lines… lots of ways possible.)

Google, Bing, and a plethora of others.

For me it’s the other way around. In Check_MK I was constantly writing new custom checks and it was all manual code and overall felt like Nagios on steroids (what it was back then) - just not in a good way.

In Zabbix you can do everything in the UI without messing around in the file system. And things like translating SNMP results to readable text works throughout the system without having to include a Python file and then call it from within your various other checks. All the alerting logic can be clicked together and easily amended in the UI. It’s so much more comfortable once you’ve figured it out.

But these 3 are all about metrics, right? While they’re great to monitor and analyse numbers (ping times, disk space, memory, etc.), they aren’t that great with e.g. plaintext error messages in log files. That’s how I remember it from a few years ago, at least.

Apart from the SMR vs. CMR, if your NAS will run 24/7 you need to make sure to use 24/7 capable drives or find a way to flash a 24/7-specific firmware/setting to a consumer drive. Normal consumer drives (e.g. WD Green) tend to have a lot of energy saving features, e.g. they park the drive heads after a few seconds of inactivity. This isn’t a problem with normal use as an external drive that only gets connected once in a while. But in a 24/7 NAS the drive will wake up lots of times and park again, wake up, park again … and these cycles kill the drive pretty fast.

Money. It’s much better if you can sell the same thing over and over again.

Apart from all the online tools there are also offline website builders like blocs (macOS/iPad - but there are similar tools for Windows as well) that let you design your website and will spit out the files you then just need to upload to any provider of your liking. It’s basically a WYSIWYG static site generator.

Sounds like GitHub Pages.

Apart from that, I like GRAV for small website projects. It works completely without a database (or in other words: it uses the filesystem as the database that it basically is) and backups/restores are simple copying everything to the right place.

The template design is basically no code, IIRC. (But still complex.) Not sure about the code to use that template, though.

In a previous job we had a tool where you could export data to PDFs using JasperSoft. There’s JasperSoft Studio to design these reports. It’s basically drag&drop of the different types of boxes and fields onto your virtual page, give them the right names and the application will then fill in these boxes and fields and generate your PDF.

Yes, Facebook friends and Twitter followers. It’s in the “Add Friends” menu when you go to your profile on your Switch.

I’m on macOS and iOS and love News Explorer. It syncs my reading progress to all other devices and also has a nice reader mode that pulls the article from the website in full. Apart from that it’s pretty bare-bones, but does exactly what I want.

Reminds me of the CardPuter.

Instead of the full-blown Mastodon, you should also look at #GoToSocial which is compatible and pretty light-weight. (Doesn’t come with a web UI, so you need to use client apps.)

EDIT: Here’s my docker-compose file.

Pretty much, I think. I have it running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with docker-compose:
