A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

  2. No spam.

  3. Posts here are to be centered around self-hosting. Please ensure it is clear in your post how it relates to self-hosting.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or git here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title.

  6. No trolling.

  7. Promotion posts require your active participation in selfhosting or related communities, or the post will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed.

Recently discovered changedetection.io. It nicely filled the need I had. I have it watching a few static forum posts for updates that are communicated that way.

I could never get it working right due to captchas on sites, its a beat idea though

I'm a little confused. It's this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

If you don't want to self host, they offer hosting.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Got it.

That seems pretty cool.

Oh wow.. My 10 year old python script may be replaced now.

Edit: And I already had it starred, because it works just like my 10 year old python script.

You can go semi-advanced mode by using regex to ignore certain line changes. Some sites require you to go super-advanced mode by using playwright running in a headless-v2 container rather than just plain text mode.

It's nice being able to see the history of changes. Especially when there's multiple rapidfire changes.

Oh yea, I'm still going to try it out the next time I need to page watch.
