Jokes on you. We never had Medicaid expansion in Alabama!

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I poop on company time!

Technically it’s a cross on PlayStation since it uses symbols not letters.

Vikunja is very slick!

Youtube channels (I unsubscribed from everything on my YouTube account, hardly ever login, and only use RSS to follow the channels I want)

This is the way to do it. I can’t stand youtube’s interface and its recommendations, auto play, and other anti-features frustrate me. I find that on youtube, when I go look at a channel, I often can’t figure out which video is the most recent, and really struggle to see figure out what I’ve watched and what I haven’t.

Using RSS let’s me see when there is a new video posted just from the channels I am interested in. I don’t have to go hunting. FreshRSS will watch it through youtube-nocookie.com, but I often find using yt-dlp is better experience, especially for anything longer than 5 minutes.

Parent’s is more complicated, but this simple script may be a good place to start. In this case, I follow a channel that posts new music videos for discovery. This automatically downloads (just the audio) using yt-dlp to a local directory. It could easily be modified to download the video (just change the -f flag). I run this with cron once a day.

I use freshrss. It is my primary source of information. Here are some of the things I follow:

• Various Local News Sources
• Local City Council Blog
• Various National/International News Sources
• Various Blogs
• Comics (SMBC, xkcd, …)
• Music Review Sites/Blogs
• Various Record Label feeds (I run a small distributor)
• YouTube Channels :: This is so much better than going to youtube
• New Releases/ChangeLogs of various OSS projects I follow and host
• Various Planet (Gnome/Gnu/Debian/…) Aggregators
• Google Alerts
• Lemmy Communities
• Reddit Communities (We’ll see where these go)
• HomeLab/Cron :: Instead of dealing with emails, I generate RSS feeds from my cron scripts/home lab notifications
• Email Subscriptions :: I take some email notification (like new releases on bandcamp) and convert them to RSS

Nextcloud is nice since iPhone natively supports caldav/carddav so you can use the built in reminders app.

I also recommend self hosting photoprism.
