My "production stuff":

- github.com/festivus-es/festivu - public holidays calendars for Spanish cities
- github.com/remote-es/remotes - companies hiring in Spain for remote positions

Usable WIPs:

- alexpdp7.github.io/selfhostwat - track self-hosting package updates (such as YunoHost)
- github.com/alexpdp7/ubpkg/ - package manager for "upstream binaries"
- github.com/alexpdp7/termflux - Miniflux terminal client

Small milestone of github.com/alexpdp7/selfhostwa ; I have a deployment on my Kubernetes test host that scrapes daily the versions of YunoHost packages. The idea is to make it easy for people to assess how well updated systems like YunoHost are.

(For example, if you want to self-host Nextcloud, you could visit selfhostwatch, search for Nextcloud and view a timeline of updates across different self-hosting solutions.)

@technomancy I have played with github.com/boxdot/gurk-rs in preparation to moving to Signal (if it gets WhatsApp interop. few of my contacts are on Signal, and I'd rather nag them to move when there's interop with the ecosystem in my neck of the woods).

Gurk worked pretty well in my limited testing. I'd prefer to bridge to IRC, but my experiences bridging Telegram with IRC make me think bridges are not ideal.

@zephyrfalcon I'm lately thinking that it's about making self-hosting easier. There's a ton of OSS feed readers, and there's stuff like YunoHost (and many others), but I feel nowadays it's harder for some reason for regular people to self-host. Many years ago I knew a lot of people who got shared hosting and ran Wordpress.

Nowadays, it feels that self-hosting your own blog for normal people is a fractal of complexity.
