Selfhosted

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.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

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

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

One of my favorite self hosted services is https://github.com/johnwarne/upvote-rss since it allows me to get content from high traffic sites but in a very truncated and digestible way. Particularly, my favorite feature is how it can send only the N most popular posts each day (with a day lag, of course).

I’m looking for a more generic solution that does something like this but for arbitrary RSS feeds.

For example, if I want to subscribe to a super busy feed but I only want to get 2 posts randomly selected each day.

I’m totally willing to achieve this without a full blown extra proxy. If there are some RSS clients or a FreshRSS extension that can do something like that, for example.

Otherwise, I may just try to extend/fork upvote-rss’s functionality for this 😅

I'm looking for something similar. I did start a project for something more general but, incomplete project pile.
