Weekly newsletter from selfh.st for Friday, May 16, 2025

 

(this is a crosspost of Ethan's reddit post of today's self-host weekly newsletter, so you don't need to use reddit to read it!)


Happy Friday, r/selfhosted! Linked below is the latest edition of Self-Host Weekly, a weekly newsletter recap of the latest activity in self-hosted software and content.

This week's features include:

  • The latest DumbWare project launch
  • Software updates and launches
  • A spotlight on Mazanoke -- a self-hosted image conversion app for the browser (u/humming6)
  • Other guides, videos, and content from the community

Thanks, and as usual, feel free to reach out with feedback!

You can let Ethan know about that: https://selfh.st/contact/ , I'm sure he'd appreciate it

I switched to Recoll for offline email full text search. Works well.

 

I've downloaded an entire "All Mail" folder for a gmail account using IMAP to a locally running Thunderbird v136.0.1 desktop client. Global search works, but it fails to find some messages that are easily found in a folder-specific search. This All Mail folder has 165,881 messages, but the activity manager shows "Indexed 73955 messages..." after a full rebuild, I think meaning that indexing finished and it only indexed some of those 165,881 messages. Why doesn't it index all of them? I'm not getting any errors, although I haven't enabled any special logging and I don't have anything open except the main email window view and the activity manager. Is there some limit on how big global-messages-db.sqlite can be (mine is 468MiB), how many messages can be processed, or something like that?

It is. I think Ethan is joking, see the other links in the same paragraph

Thanks for all the feedback. I’m not the author, just a fan re-sharing Ethan Sholly’s posts here on Lemmy because I prefer it to reddit.

If you like This Week in Self-Hosted, send some love Ethan's way and let him know you want him to keep doing what he does by subscribing (free) and/or becoming a paid supporter -- see https://selfh.st/#/portal for more info.

I do author other stuff, elsewhere. I have worked with Ethan in the past and I hope we're able to do more together in the future!

Hopefully Fork recipes also tries reading schema.org recipe json-ld data directly? I doubt AI is necessary for screen-scraping online recipes.

Probably. It is FOSS so it seems unlikely that it would include malware since that would be a massive fiasco if any malware were found. But of course the only way to know for sure is to review the code yourself.

For what it's worth, the promise right in the source is:

Jellyfin Wrapped is an entirely client-side application. Your data stays private and is never sent to any external service.

I tried it. I first opened my browser developer tools and watched network activity and, after downloading the app from https://jellyfin-wrapped.jpc.io/ , only saw traffic to my own Jellyfin server.
