I created a #Meshtastic to #CalTopo bridge in Python so I can slap a mesh tracker on my drone and record its location on a map. https://github.com/heytensai/meshtastic-caltopo-tracker

I signed up for Kagi, after a long time considering it. So far I like it a lot and look forward to using a service that caters to me and not to advertisers. I'm curious to see how many searches I do per day. They say the typical user makes about 3 searches per day, but that seems way low for me.
Don't ever subscribe to Lemmy from Mastodon. I unsubscribed but I'm still getting posts in my feed. It's bizarre.
Followed the guide to set up #HomeAssistant encrypted backups to Google Drive and everything went smoothly, except it took Google a few hours to enable API access (something the docs do cover). And I've got local unencrypted backups. I like this new backup system.

As we approach the end of 2024, I thought it'd be helpful to compile a list of the self-hosted apps launched in 2024 that I found to be particularly noteworthy.

And while I think this is a great list, I do have my own biases. So if you're looking for new software to deploy, please don't limit yourself to my list.
