Was going to suggest ntfy since I already use it personally and for unified push. When I have a minute I'll probably write a subscriber service that sends 'nostr:abc123...' links via ntfy for notifications.

Looks like going back to Node v16 is an easy fix (although not the greatest long-term solution)

Ha, you should make it so that when anyone connects with /YOUR_NPUB the latest post that it returns is the readme.

There's also https://unifiedpush.org/ so you don't have to roll your own push notification library.

Fun fact: if you name the field in bitwarden the exact same as the html ID or name attributes, it will autofill.

Install this (scroll to bottom of the page and select releases) for easy access and updates to open source apps https://github.com/Iamlooker/Droid-ify

For a long time I've used a homegrown clipboard syncing app to keep my clipboard consistent across all my devices. I've been working recently to make it a bit more user friendly and getting ready to formally release it with installers and everything.
I don't really want to go through the trouble of creating packages for all the different Linux package managers out there. Anyone opposed to a curl somescripturl | sh method? The script will of course be open source.

I keep up with f-droid (and the izzyondroid repo) updates and saw something about a nostr client. So then I had to find out what that was, and now I'm hooked.

It's been a while since I've had to do anything with Gradle but I'm pretty sure you can selectively pull in classes. I'll look into it and maybe post a PR because I prefer a Google-free experience.

I don't really care about crypto, but I am a fan of open source, self hosting, and anything outside. My notes will mostly be about self hosting and FOSS.

I think it's time for another #FavoriteFOSS and today I'd like to give a shoutout to my current bookmarking tool (Pocket alternative) of choice: Linkding. https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding
I used Pocket for a long time and was hoping it would be open sourced by Mozilla once they purchased it, but that seems like it's never going to happen. I've bounced around a few different tools and strategies, but settled on Linkding and have been happy with it for the past year or so.
I like to use these types of services as mainly a todo-list of sorts. Maybe it's an article I don't have time to read or a new library/tool I'd like to check out later. Once I've had time to check out the link, I can then archive it or just delete it. Linkding's simple interface and tagging system makes it work great for this task, and because of the simplicity it's really fast.
It's very easy to self-host or deploy to a hosting service, supports multiple users, and has a nice API if you'd like to build a tool around it. So go check it out!

pkg-config is a unix binary, so you'll either need to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (probably the best option) or maybe try with this https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/files/ (choco install pkgconfiglite).

I watch the fdroid and izzyondroid update logs to stay current on open source android apps. Saw something about a nostr client and had to find out what that was.

I think I'm going to start a long-running series called #FavoriteFOSS where I mention some of my favorite open source applications and tools. Some will be well-known, some maybe not so.
We'll kick it off with ntfy.sh which is a simple tool to send yourself push notifications but can be used for so much more. Here are some examples of how I use it:
- Alerts from my home automation (doorbell pressed, laundry done, etc)
- Control Tasker on my phone and wall-mounted tablets from home automation and scripts
- A pub/sub backend for my clipboard syncing application (more on this another day)
Some of the features that make ntfy stand out against other similar applications:
- Incredibly easy to self-host (but there's also a free public instance)
- Flexible API (REST, websockets, SSE, and other means of interaction)
- Documentation for days (https://docs.ntfy.sh/)
- Multiple clients (Web, CLI, Android, iOS)
[ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh)

What's your ski setup? Fellow skier here, I tour on some Faction Ten's (similar to their current Agent 3 skis) using Daymakers so I can keep my alpine bindings for maximum downhill charging.
