The important bit is -v /opt/podman/searxng/config:/etc/searxng:Z in the podman call. This will mount your local directory (i.e. on the host the container is running on) /opt/podman/searxng/config into the container as /etc/searxng (which is where SearXNG is searching for its config). Make sure that the local directory exists and is writeable by your user account before starting the container. This way your config will persist even when the container gets replaced by an updated version.
IIRC, after running the container for the first time, SearXNG should put a settings.yml and uwsgi.ini there. You can edit them and restart the container for the changes to take.
On later container updates, SearXNG will put the latest versions of the default configs as settings.yml.new and uwsgi.ini.new. This way it doesn’t overwrite your config and allows you to manually merge the new defaults into your running config. (If you only see the *.new files after starting the container for the first time, rename them and remove the .new part.)
Can Dockge manage/cleanup unused images and containers by now? That’s the only reason I keep using Portainer - because it can show all the other stuff and lets me free up space.
As Plume isn’t maintained anymore, there are also a few ActivityPub plugins for WordPress which work very well.
NeoDB is Trakt.tv


Because
A) Solving Captchas isn’t protecting from abuse/spam anymore. People in countries with cheap labour costs are being paid (or forced) to solve these for spam networks. And nowadays, LLMs can solve them almost better than any human. Manual approval is completely infeasible once you have a somewhat larger following.
Tying comments to some form of account is at least somewhat of a hurdle for spammers.
and
B) Some people want to keep ownership of their data. As long as the comment is tied to my account, I can easily find, edit or even delete it. Try that with some comment you made on some obscure blog 5 years ago; which address you don’t remember and with an email address you no longer have.
Yes, webtrees should fit that description.


There’s also FreeDNS. Their only ask is that you log into the account once every 6 months so they know you’re still using it.
But can Prometheus + Grafana e.g. monitor a website’s content and alert when there is a new firmware version available?
Zabbix can be configured completely via its GUI. It’s really easy once you get the hang of it.

Start your own instance, be the change you want to see in the world.
This right here is the beauty of the Fediverse. And as such, it’s not “The Fediverse” that’s a “Left Wing Circle Jerk”, it’s just the servers you’ve found so far.


If you’re happy with how Apple Password works for you, I can recommend StrongBox. It keeps all data in a KeePass2 database and integrates into Apple’s AutoFill API. That means it feels almost native when using it. No browser plugin needed. (At least not for Safari.) And you can decide how you sync the database file.


Doesn’t get any more secure than a battle-tested web server hosting simple MP3 files and a text file.
Convenience might be a thing, though. I’m in the Apple ecosystem so their Podcasts app shows that feed on all devices and tracks listening progress, etc.
If I didn’t have that, I’m still a lifetime customer with PocketCasts and PocketCasts Web. So, that’s that. But if you don’t have anything similar in place, a self-hosted streaming server might be the best way to go, yes.


Do you need a web player? I’ve got several years of a radio show on my web server and wrote a script that created an RSS feed for them. This way I can open that in any podcast player (even web based ones) to listen to it.


but I didn’t use the word “flower”
Well, hopefully you’ve added an ALT text to the picture for all those visually challenged people out there - which then also helps search engines.


There’s also Marginalia if you’re looking for some rather traditional web search.


At least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.


It’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.


If you’re on macOS, there’s blocs. It seems to pop up on BundleHunt for a fraction of their normal price every once in a while.
Then, there’s RapidWeaver Elements - which just went into Early Access.
However, you might want to evaluate whether a static site generator or some small CMS like GRAV can work for you.
