I did it for a while but my system was constantly busy and there was this controversy about the image cache and possible CSAM which then prompted me to switch to using the flagship instance. Haven’t tried any of the alternatives, though.
This GitHub and the README in there say otherwise. Also the fact that I’ve got it running locally. 😉
How does it compare to DaWarIch which seems to be basically the same?
Same here. Once in a while I update the config with all the changed engines. But that’s about it.
I’ve got a so-called “Asteroid” with UberSpace. You just have to bring your own domain and configure DNS to use their servers. Unlimited mailboxes, unlimited aliases, Sieve scripts … and SSH access.
Apart from that, I’ve got a free account with disroot for emergencies.
Items are tracked using IDs. But if a movie was imported from Douban, NeoDB only knows the Douban ID. Same with IMDb. However, since TheMovieDB records often have IMDb IDs as well, it’ll import both identifiers if you import from there.
And there’s a feature to merge duplicate imports into one. This will make that resulting record available under all the different IDs.
Yes, whenever you mark a movie or an episode as “to watch”, “watching” or “watched”, this gets published like a Mastodon post. You also have the option to automatically retoot this from your main Mastodon account. Others can follow you from Mastodon and react to your events. (For some reason, they don’t properly show up here, though.) And, of course, it all shows up for other users on NeoDB.
You can always join one of the mainly English instances like Eggplant.place or ReviewDB or host your own. But as long as the majority of NeoDB.social users are Chinese, the dominant language there won’t change.
OTOH it’s easy to use the API - so, instead of doing it manually, I’m tempted to write a small tool that you can throw a link to a movie or show at and it’ll change all Chinese actor names to their English counterparts.
Have you tried it with the original GL.iNet firmware? There might be some optimisations in there that are missing from plain OpenWrt.
To quote myself:
There’s just one little quirk: since this app started out in China, many actors show up with their Chinese names - but can be easily edited to their English names.
The author of the app is Chinese (but speaks English, too).
The actors get imported upon the very first import of a movie/show. And when a movie is imported from Douban first, the actors will all show up with their Chinese transliterations. If you import a new movie from TheMovieDB, they’ll show up with their English names. But as mentioned above, you can edit the names - which is what I usually do for US-movies. Descriptions support multi-language, though. Once an English description has been imported, it should show up for you while Chinese people will continue to see the Chinese description.
And the more English-language users start to use NeoDB, the more initially-English content will pop up.
After Trakt changed to a subscription, I’ve went with NeoDB. This is a federated network, so you can also host it yourself if you like. All entries there can be published into the Fediverse, too. It tracks movies, shows, books, and games. And it automatically imports from IMDb, TheMovieDB, Amazon, Steam, and many more. There’s just one little quirk: since this app started out in China, many actors show up with their Chinese names - but can be easily edited to their English names.
There’s also eggplant.place which is the development build of NeoDB and might be unstable but has more English content.
I’m using News Explorer on all my Apple devices. It syncs my feeds and the read/unread states. And even supports a separate view for comments for many blogs.
¿Por qué no los dos? Make Home Assistant your master automation system because it supports a huge amount of devices. And then expose those to HomeKit using the HomeKit Bridge service.
This makes all compatible devices (i.e. everything HomeKit can interpret) show up in Apple Home, too.
That’s how I do it, so I can ask my HomePods to turn lights on and off or lower the blinds.
Let’s Encrypt is. But tools to keep 100s of certificates up to date sometimes are not.
I’d still like some algorithm in my RSS aggregator. One, that detects articles talking about the same thing and groups them.
Then there’s the older way of checking CRLs which any tool of the past few decades should support.
I’m pretty sure it’s the SSL seller lobby just wanting more money, tbh. Selling snake oil security.
And selling “certificate automation” tools.
The point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there’s no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.
That’s what OCSP is for. Only Google isn’t playing along as per that wiki entry.
Check out GL.iNet products. They’re all based on OpenWrt with a more beginner-friendly GUI on top. (LuCi can be installed via a few clicks.) And very affordable. Some can be flashed to vanilla OpenWrt as well.
