This feels like the year where I take how I engage with the internet into my own hands (as much as I reasonably can, anyway).
Companies have proven time and again that they can’t be trusted to maintain a proper level of interest in their users needs, so instead of continuing to just let that happen with stuff I use every day, I’m moving to self-hosted, open-source alternatives wherever possible.
My delve into getting Home Assistant running on my NAS to switch from Alexa to HomeKit has lead me into a deep hole of getting alternatives to services I use running locally on my own hardware.
So far I have the aforementioned HA and Plex (which is what I got the NAS for in the first place), and now FreshRSS is up and running. Next is a read-it-later service, and then who knows? I have a bunch of indie comics downloaded from Comixology, maybe I’ll set up Komga and get them all organized.
StreetPass is a cool new browser extension that uses Mastodon's verification system in a clever way.
Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your list. As you browse the web, StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users that belong to the websites you visit.
I spoke with the creater @tvler about the project, 🧵 below.

The Crater section of God of War Ragnarok is absolutely the best part of that game, and an excellent chunk of level design, but it’s a bummer that it comes along so late in the total runtime.
I’m exhausted of playing as Kratos and want the game to be over, but there’s so much that just got added to my quest log that I want to see through. It’s kinda annoying!
Hey folks, I moved one of my last bots from Twitter to here, @randomcomicbook
This uses the cool (but forgotten) Marvel API to share a random comic book from the history of Marvel Comics.
