What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.
For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.
Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.What is that service for you?

Hosting it was super simple, thanks to the Ansible project that's extremely robust and well done, I literally just got a hosting, domain amd changed like 5 config values to enable the bridges I wanted, gave it an IP and ssh key, and ran it. And if I need to update, I literally "just update" (it's all wrapped up into "just" tool), and it eve handles cases where I didn't update for a while, failing graciously and telling me what I need to do maually, usually just rename some config values.
I wholly recommend it. You probably wont convince your friends to switch from <insert app here>, and this is the best compromise.
I'm using a small instance on Hetzner, for 6$ a month. You could in theory get a free oracle cloud instance for it, but I didn't manage to get one.

SyncthingPaperless is rEally awesome...
Scan to folder, it will automatically be sorted and categorized, full text search and one neat thing:
It just stores the pdf in subfolders which makes backup also usefull without paperless -

Even though I don't have it hooked into an arr stack it is still useful for what is upcoming.

I've gotten rid of almost all paper docs, just scan everything in. It makes taxes so much easier because I can easily filter year to year for comparisons.

wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 11:18 last edited by@hendrik@palaver.p3x.de no. I use the app service one. It works well, but it's basically for bridging public channels. The Mautrix bridges all work very well. I've used the Facebook one in the past. It's just the limits those platforms put on the bridge (e.g. banning or locking account) that can be a problem. If your bridge is connecting from the same place as you normally connect to Discord from, you should be fine.

wrote on 25 Jan 2025, 11:21 last edited by- A puppeting (personal account) Discord bridge basically requires your own homeserver. You are trusting the homeserver owner / bridge host fully with your Discord account.
- It is technically against Discord ToS. While I don't think anyone's been banned yet, several people have started receiving warnings that they "spammed", most of them after sending an attachment. These warnings are on your account for 2 years, and could contribute to an account ban.
- Voice chat is not, and probably will not be supported.
- Do NOT bridge a "large" server. You are essentially re-hosting the chats, which can be extremely taxing for large and active Discord servers.
I use mine for a single channel in a "medium-size" server (~2k people), a friend group server, DMs, and a few channels that follow a bunch of announcement channels on other servers.

I use mautrix/discord, it can work in both puppeting (sign into your account) mode and relay (bot account with webhooks) mode.

I'm a bit more aware that I use a lot of FOSS where it could be easy for the dev's to just go rogue. But that's still better than giving it away to some closed source company.
