Does that effectively hide root? Because the parent repo says it’s only “guaranteed” to work for Google apps.

And now, even when your WiFi is off they still turn it on to “help with location tracking.” And they’re talking about taking away the ability to turn Bluetooth off.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

I think Rocketchat is what you’re looking for.

Self hosted Bitwarden out of my house. I bought an old server a while back and it’s been running like a champ. The official version s a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work really well. No complaints.

Has there been a problem with bad actors on this server yet? I certainly haven’t noticed any.

Just waiting for Boost to join this crowd too. It was a good run, but those fees will kill all the third party clients eventually.
