[Question] Asking for recommendations regarding cold database storage
#ActualBudget with SimpleFin bridge integration has been working mostly fine for me... Except that
1) vanguard often doesn't sync successfully and needs re-auth
2) apple card sync never worked after syncing once......
3) the envelope budgeting just doesn't work for me. Like I front load my retirement accounts, so I don't have income for a few months, and Actual budget will just freak out because I'm over budgeting every month
It's ok because I only have retirement accounts with vanguard so I'm not gonna look at it all the time and I have very few transactions on Apple Card at the moment...
Upgraded all four of my pihole instances to v6. They’re working perfectly!
I love how a bunch of the “advanced” settings are now available from the UI. It makes initial set up so much easier.
TelegramMediaRelayBot: automate content sharing - even if recipients aren't on the platform!
Problem :
You found cool content, but:
- friends are not registered on the platform (like TikTok or Reddit)
- are too lazy to click on links and look at
- don't want to bother with saving files or registering on a new platform
Having to download, forward the same thing manually to everyone and clean up your device's memory. Does this sound like a familiar hell? This is exactly the reason I created a bot.
What kind of beast is it?
TelegramMediaRelayBot is a bot that downloads content from any sources supported by yt-dlp and gallery-dl (TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) and automatically forwards it to the right people.
Its trick: It turns your “save → forward → delete” into a single action: throw a link → bot did it all.
Why is this a breakthrough?
For anyone and everyone:
It doesn't matter if you share with friends, colleagues or subscribers - the bot works even if they don't have accounts on the original platform. The bot works even without contacts (just downloads files to you in chat).
Self-host:
Full control over your data? Deploy your own version (documentation: https://zenonel.github.io/TelegramMediaRelayBot-Site/).
No analogs:
I searched for similar solutions - and couldn't find anything. This is the first bot that combines downloading, forwarding and contact management in one place.
What does the bot know how to do?
Now:
- Downloads content via yt-dlp and gallery-dl (galleries, playlists, videos)
- Contact book - add people and send them files in one click
- Automation: Customize how the bot handles links (ex: “If I haven't changed my mind in 5 seconds - download and share content according to my rules")
- Group work - supports Telegram group chats. Send a link - the bot will download content and send it to the group
- Proxies and other smaller functions
Expect v3.0 to be released:
- Only a couple of features left to do for it
Future versions:
- Various improvements and innovations - advanced privacy settings, updated documentation and more
How it works.
1. you: Send the bot a link (+ description with a new line if necessary)
2. bot: Downloads the content → Sends it to your contacts based on your settings
3. you: Enjoy life and the new automation in it
Why you'll love it.
- Free and Open Source: The project is created for personal use, not for profit. No hidden code or subscriptions
- Flexible: Even without contacts - use it as your personal cloud in Telegram. Add hashtags to your files (#memes, #gifs) to easily find them
- Simplicity: You don't need any supernatural effort to get started. Just take a little time to customize and you're good to go. Don't forget to invite the people you want to see in the bot!
What's up with the monetization?
- Plans: In the future it will be possible to support the project through donations to the card or Boosty
- Optional: With the plugin system it will be possible to buy ready-made modules (referrals, custom limits, etc) to monetize your copy of the bot. The basic version will remain free

Feedback & Suggestions
Your input is incredibly valuable to me! Help make this bot perfect not just for me, but by building a community that will love and nurture it together:
- What to add? What features would you love to see?
- What to fix? Found a bug or something awkward? Let me know!
- What to improve? Any idea — from design to functionality.
Bonus: Find a similar bot? Get a virtual fortune cookie from me! And if the bot saves you 10 minutes daily — you'll make me one happy
P.S. Even a quick "I wish there was a button for..." or "Could we do this?" is a fantastic start. Thanks for taking time to read this, and extra thanks if you choose to stay with me and the project!
I'd like to set up SSO so that I can self-host resources like nodebb, freshrss, and znc, and share them with friends, without those friends having to manage a separate password for every service. Keycloak seems like a decent place to start but it requires a database, and I've always found those a little abstract, I don't know what I need to type to actually install and use one. Can you recommend me a good "just show me the code" tutorial for e.g. postgres on debian 12?
edit: actually, has anyone else here set up SSO for self-hosting, with or without keycloak?
I follow one dev because of interesting thoughts, ideas and realisations. One of them were about git repositories
https://bacardi55.io/2024/07/26/re-thinking-my-git-hosting-with-sourcehut-and-forgejo/
And start to think about my current situation. Some years ago I moved from github to #gitea and later switched to #forgejo
. This is for my projects where issue tracker if is used it is only for me.
Now I think about some RFC as idea and there are possibility that I will need (or want) to allow comments|issues|PRs. My Forgejo is w/o registration now. Is there some kind of best practices? Do you use sourcehut|codeberg|gitlab or something else together with #selfhost git?
I am finally getting started with using a database instead of a spreadsheet to track my clients. This came after a lost an entire column somehow.
It did the thing where you can drag and have it auto increment numbers.
Anyway, I am playing around with DBbrowser and sqlite. Eventually I will need to host the data base and have multiple users access it. Am I wasting my time with what I am currently using?
Maybe there is another solution? Most users will not be technical.
Does anyone here self host Mastodon with @yunohost ?
I'm just curious how well it works given Masto's reputation for being tricky to upgrade without breaking?
Please boost for a larger sample size! Tx!
Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?
I am looking for a simple self-host, without much maintenance.
It would need to host a local network share in RAID1 or similar
A Windows VM for test purposes
A Wireguard docker container.
I have played with TrueNAS and Unraid, but all seems... off. Would XCP-ng hypervisior with 2 VMs make sense? A Windows for testing, and then a VM for hosting share and docker (could be TrueNAS)?
One of my #temperature #sensors, a #SNZB-02P, started disconnecting randomly. I was getting that 'checkin only every 6 or so hours' problem. Removed it and re-added it to #homeassistant about 20 times. Just did it again today and now it's functioning perfectly again. Gotta love it!!!
