Are there any podcasts services?
  • As an avid podcast listener I use Pocket Casts. But I have been looking for something to replace this, especially to own my listening status and save favourite episodes.

    Either I haven't tried it properly enough or there simply isn't anything out there.

    My experiences:

    Podfetch: Very very basic, can't get Favourites to work, doesn't save specific episodes into a permanent archive, couldn't get playing to work, no mobile apps

    Plex: Cancelled Podcast support two years ago

    Audiobookshelf: As described by others, performance issues (I have ~117 podcasts and updating takes ages), iOS app is Testflight only and BETA is full. Wanted retest with it being only an intermediary.

    What are the CPU/RAM requirements of owncloud/nextcloud?
  • Performance greatly improves by running it off SSDs. I run it on Alwyzon, Contabo and raspberry pi 4s.

    Anything under 10 concurrent users (at the same time) should be fine on 4 GB Ram and 2 cores.

    If you start implementing Onlydocs/collabora and add tesseract you might want more.

    Securely but reliably self-hosting Vaultwarden?
  • Your local bitwarden apps „only“ sync with your vaultwarden. So if you‘re not adding and changing multiple entries every day you can just endure an outage of a few hours or even days until you reconnect and sync.

    That said, I am very paranoid about hosting my password manager on a publicly available VPS. The VPS provider theoretically has access and if you don’t secure the VPS properly everybody else, too.

    So I make VW only accessible via a VPN (wireguard) and only host it locally on a pi. That is also backed up to another pi (Borg with borgmatic).

    For me this is a good mix of redundancy, access control and attack vector mitigation.
