Totally fair.

100% this. Why would I go back to another centralized corpo line must go up service that will inevitably enshittify when we got lemmy right here?

Another great option is Yourls. I’ve been using it for years and it’s been fabulous

Check out OliveTin. I use it in a similar fashion to track when I take my daily meds and for other personal health tracking.

Edit 2: adding that I host this on a Raspberry pi zero w. It’s ultra cheap. It’s only accessible on my lan by choice. I use a wireguard tunnel on my stupid cheap (~$1.50/month) vps to access it remotely.

Edit 1: fix link formatting

Careful with that you though. I thought the same thing but someone pointed out in another thread that depending on your system, it may update the firmware over USB when you do system updates.

Shit. I didn’t even think of that. I’m using fedora. Tomorrow I’ll be blocking firmware updates for the printer. Thank you for pointing that out.

Glad I’ve got an Brother laser that has no network connectivity.

Also been using namecheap for years with no complaints. Boring and dependable.

I love mealie as well. My wife and I keep all our recipes in mealie.

I’ve been working on some bash scripts to help manage my media files. I’ve been slowly working on learning more bash and I’m pretty pleased with my progress. After I finish this bash book I’m reading (can’t remember the title atm), I think I’m gonna jump into awk.
