    Pair Drop

    Quickly send files, paste images/text snippets between devices.

    I'm using the older Snapdrop (which PD was forked from) with some patches I made to:

    • Work behind Authelia for SSO + 2FA
    • Use the display name provided by Authelia instead of the random usernames it gives out by default
    • Send transfers over the internet without dealing with the temporary "rooms" that Pairdrop uses (it's behind Authelia, so only authorized users can get to it).

    It has 100% replaced emailing things to myself or shuffling files to/from Nextcloud. I probably use it to send text (URLs, clipboard contents, etc) to/from my phone as much as I use it for sending files back and forth.

      Easily set up, and easily attached to other things. Simple notifications about whatever is needed, like service health or updates, new posts on public platforms, etc. A simple curl is plenty to send and receive notifications, and it works on Android without requiring FCM (Google infrastructure).

          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?

          discord bot for my families group chat server. I know it doesn't really mesh well with the mentality of selfhosting but it works for us.
          I'm able to do silly stuff like each person getting a 'score' that gets taken down or up when they say something good/bad and people react to it

            I’d say the ARR suite but I knew beforehand that would need it. I just love that I can access overseerr, search up and coming and already out content, click “request”, and then magically it just shows up on my plex after a couple minutes.

            A service that I host that I never knew I needed is Nextcloud. Works exactly the way OneDrive worked for me. I record footage on my phone, upload it to Nextcloud, and log onto any computer of mine in the house and can edit the footage. Sometimes I edit footage in VR while I play XPlane, then I’ll save it, turn everything off, and continue right where I left off on my laptop.

            Probably super basic but locally syncing things is a godsend to the way I used to do things (KDE connect transfers footage from my phone to a single computer).

                Syncthing

                Paperless 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

                If you don’t mind me asking, how/on which criteria does auto-sort and -categorization work? Scanning file name and contents? But then you’d have to pre-define some sort of keywords, no?

                    Would you mind elaborating a bit? I've been looking into good rss solutions lately and blogs without a feed were where I got stuck. How do you use five filters? How do the two components work together?

                    Otherwise, you could always just use RSS clients that have the ability to fetch full articles, Read You on Android and Fluent Reader on desktop both can do this.

                        I'm hodsting my own Matrix server with WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Messenger bridge. I have all my IMs in one app, don't have to install spyware on my phone, and I can make bots that troll annoying people that message me on any platform.

                        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.

                            The benefit is, I dont need to open a webpage (less data usage or if you are in a slow internet area) or login to a service to add media

                              Forgejo. There are so many things that can use a git repo but I don't want to have them out in the wild, so I host them myself, safe and sound behind my firewall.

                              I also mirror other github forks so they don't go away whenever those services decide to rugpull them.

                                Layering on top of that (I'm sorry to recommend a discord app) but, Requestarr is awesome as well. It allows you to attach a bot to a channel and request up through Overseer, Sonarr or Radarr. Works for local and remote users.

                                  Posted above, I'll drop it here as well, requestarr performs the same service but via discord.

                                    That plus a browser extension that finds the right rss feed for you like get rss feed url on firefox.

                                    I copy the rss with the extension
                                    Then I paste that into five filters
                                    Use that to give it to fresh rss which will get me a nice looking post with images and text

                                      I'm not OP, but maybe this one?

                                        Forgejo. There are so many things that can use a git repo but I don't want to have them out in the wild, so I host them myself, safe and sound behind my firewall.

                                        I also mirror other github forks so they don't go away whenever those services decide to rugpull them.

                                        I host foregejo, but I have a small problem. I can’t get my ssh keys to work for cloning repos. I can’t only use https.

                                          Its pretty well documented and easy to follow, it took me only like an hour to setup.
