@nprofile…d5j0 Maybe one day HortusFox will make the spicy section of the newsletter...

@nprofile…74c4 Nice! Glad I can occasionally chime in and then ghost you for a few weeks before chiming in again on another subject 🙃

@nprofile…5unw Thanks for the heads up. Ghost adds them automatically -- need to figure out how to disable it for that specific link!

Updated my #privacy guide of optimal #Plex settings to be disabled for anyone not willing to make the jump after their recent news. Feel free to let me know if there's anything I've missed!

@nprofile…2sd7 Congrats, although whoever wrote this post missed their opportunity to ask "Why does this matter to you?" instead of "What does this mean for you?"...

@nprofile…xrfj Sure! I think they're a novel idea and have had some good interactions with the devs.

Dropped some new features for selfh.st/apps this morning that include updated bookmarking functionality, custom views for sharing with others, and new sort options (project age).
Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback!

A user on the #selfhosted subreddit has registered an almost identical name to @nprofile…vgdu and is spamming the subreddit with a similar newsletter, directory, and icon collection.
I'm not discouraging anyone from creating their own content - similar or not - but want to remind everyone that I'm not affiliated with them.

@nprofile…mns8 Hey, sure! The new software section is dedicated to recently launched software.
The latest directory apps are existing projects that I recently discovered and added to selfh.st/apps - but aren't necessarily 'new'.
Does that help?

Would love some feedback on the weekly YouTube series I kicked off a few months ago to accompany my newsletter recap of the latest in #selfhosted software and content.
#YouTube is a new medium for me and when I compare the series' performance vs that of the newsletter and other projects I've published, I'm not sure if the slow start is normal or if there are things I can do to improve.
Very open to feedback and input from the community!

Dropped a new article in my #selfhosting #alternatives series this morning for those looking to make the jump to their own #RSS reader and feed aggregator.
There are a ton of great options in the space, so apologies in advance for any I might have missed!
