I've been self hosting for 2 or 3 years and haven't been hacked, though I fully expect it to happen eventually(especially if I start posting my blog in places). I'd suggest self hosting a VPN to get into your home network and not making your apps accessible via the internet unless 100% necessary. I also use docker containers to minimize the apps access to my full system. Best of luck!

I'm not aware of a new interface. Did it just change or something?

I use the Nextcloud News app. It's not as fully featured as others, but it does the job for me. Just requires a lot of setup and has a lot of extra stuff with it if you don't want to actually use all the Nextcloud features.

Overall, Smart Launcher is great. The things that annoy me are mainly things like: Not being able to add multiple app screens and have home in the center, lack of gestures(compared to Nova), and there was also something to do with setting the wallpaper.

My only near dealbreaker is that it's not open source.

I can't wait to see what they come up with next, feature wise, though.

Same, been using Smart Launcher since I heard they were getting bought. No lie, I miss Nova's customizability, and some of Smart Launcher's quirks annoy me; but I vastly prefer it to being data harvested. Smart Launcher is good enough for me, and leaps and bounds better than ANYTHING else I tried.

Learn docker. That should probably be #1. That will open up a world of self hosting options.

If you think they're not going to fight tooth and nail to enforce it in Texas, you don't know Texas. It would probably have to go to SCOTUS.

That depends. How new are you? What do you already know?

Technically a Satanist does too.

edit: though you'd have to "really believe"

Yes, it's unconstitutional....buuut, the shitty way our political system works, somebody would have to sue to get it removed in Texas. Until someone does, they're going to enforce it.

edit: in Texas

I like your moxie. You've got my vote.

We have a law in Texas that an Atheist can't hold office. Really stupid, but it would have to be challenged to get rid of it.

edit: went and looked it up

Article 1, Section 4 of the Texas Constitution states, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall anyone be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."

You might check out this thread, especially that first post about the open letter.

I homelab to study and practice, and I switched around 1.19. It's been very smooth for me. Literally just had to change the docker image I was using.

Yep. It's great. Check out:

Awesome job. I watched most of the video and it looks really cool.

This is awesome! Is there a practical use case? Or was this just a fun learning project?

Doubtful. More likely somebody took the sight and put it up there for the pic.

Not sure about the rest of those, but Obsidian isn't OS either.

Yeah, I follow him on Mastodon.

That's who he is!? I just followed him because I liked his posts lol.
