A review of Tailscale, "a secure network that just works".

Uses wireguard to create an encrypted tunnel between all your devices. Automatically takes care of NAT, DNS, and similar.
Essentially makes it really easy to set up your true private network within the wider one.

Also comes with 'taildrop' which mimics airdrop to easily transfer any files between your devices,
but do so without any involvement of external cloud services and completely encrypted.

Simple isso / disqus alternative.

Seems relatively simple to implement, can allow anonymous and social login comments; super small; clean; developed on gitlab. Seems like a solid choice

a Disqus alternative.

Allows embedding a simple comment system into static site generators with some simple javascript and an sqlite database.

A huge variety of comment system implementations for static content site generators (especially hugo) introduced.

Listing of thousands of domains which you can filter and sort by registration costs, renewal costs and, most usefully, the amount you will have to pay to keep the domain for 3 years.

Domain name choices // DNS

Sish is a great ngrok alternative to expose any locally hosted app over the web. With Sish you create temporary secure tunnels to locally hosted applications and allow others to intereact with the app with a publicly accessible web address. Its great to quickly expose a development app server without needing to deploy it and setup reverse proxies or mess around with firewalls. Sish can also be used to expose any TCP connection - e.g MySQL DB.

How to Self Host Matrix, an open source project that publishes the Matrix open standard for secure, decentralised, real-time communication.

Good explanation and simple steps. Federation can be tested here: https://federationtester.matrix.org/

JavaScript port of Vim. Contribute to coolwanglu/vim.js development by creating an account on GitHub.

Simple, quick and efficient static file server while still not looking bad.
Very similar to tools like gossa and rossa, but seems like a blend of the latter's simplicity and the first one's slight design flourishes.

a commenting system built on matrix, open to everyone, and working with/without JavaScript. Seems very neat, especially once some more matrix RFCs get implemented.

Implemented as a matrix appservice and embedded web sidecar (akin to disqus)

Contains some restic backup strategy ideas and advice

Google cloud services (computing instance) offer encryption by default for disk storage, the customer can provide its own key with the feature customer supplied encryption (detailed here also).

How can we apply a disk encryption with cryptsetup without giving the encryption key to google?

Very cute little idea: basically an ebook-serving web page, but with some features that make it more like a little lend-a-book library:

• you can have single-borrowing, meaning when somebody downloads an ebook it is gone from the server until they reupload it.
• it shows you who else is currently 'browsing' the little library
• you can leave a little note for books you put into the library to tell others why they're cool
• it's designed for drm free ebooks of different varieties (mobi, djvu, epub, etc)
• it looks like a small wooden bookshelf

Using an s3 backend (like wasabi, spaces, minio or others) as the block storage for a jellyfin (vps or homelab) installation with rclone. A bit fiddly, but can probably be adapted to iac -style docker stacks and so on.

Using caddy to run nextcloud as a host and reverse proxy with rewriting and so on

"Sia is the leading decentralized cloud storage platform. No signups, no servers, no trusted third parties. Sia leverages blockchain technology to create a data storage marketplace that is more robust and more affordable than traditional cloud storage providers."

You 'rent' space on users' unused storage and it gets saved with 3x redundancy in decentralized, encrypted blocks. Sounds interesting and is pretty cheap (~$4 per TB) so could be something to look into more

'Simple' kanboard software - just boards and cards, with a few nice workflow features like highlighting a column that fills up too much.

Scrapes google translate and presents a clean, alternative frontend for it.

(Similar to what e.g. newpipe does for youtube)
