I like how easy Shiori is to install and the UI is much more responsive than Wallabag (could be a config/install issue) but it does have some annoyances too:

• No mobile app (I think there is an abandoned third party client though)
• Session expires frequently in the Firefox extension, requiring frequently going into extension settings
• No koreader support for e-readers etc

But it is actively developed and it's the most promising alternative to Wallabag in my view.

I'll throw in SWAG as another option which I found was easiest to setup, albeit it on a VPN/local only setup. It supports certbot for SSL and pre-defined proxy configs for various services (mostly linuxserver.io containers but there are others) and it's easy to edit them to make your own configs. I'm not sure about portainer support as I'm not familiar with that.

I was just thinking that common forum software implementing ActivityPub would be a great way to link all of these disparate web forums that are still active and have useful content.

Xiaomi phones usually still have IR blasters at least.

As a side note, how do people handle HTTPS with private networks (VPN or local) these days? I typically just stick to HTTP, but it would be nice to get rid of the warnings/lock (and I use HTTPS-only mode and firefox seems to require a fresh exception for every port).

Emacs org-mode, although with minimal organsation (just a single tag typically, which org-agenda then shows in my calendar if I've scheduled it for a certain time). It does support priorities too, but I don't typically use that.

It's the power usage and physical space that puts me off those kind of solutions. Of course, that varies a lot based on your living circumstances (location, whether you own a house, etc).

Decent enough midrange devices and good custom rom support, but missing the features that some of their competitors have (headphone jack, SD slot, etc) although I get that is becoming increasingly niche unfortunately.

I believe some use tailscale for this, although I don't entirely like having a third party store wireguard keys if I'm understanding it correctly.

It's a nice improvement on Kobo e-ink readers in particular, with much better usage of space and lots of options for tweakers.

Annoying side note: I'm getting like 5 notifications from comment replies on Firefox desktop, I think it might be one for every tab. Think I'll disable that for now.

I'm doing it with openwrt x86, since I need SQM + wireguard (and at least the former still isn't supported on *sense last time I checked). Works fine in all honesty, and I can reboot the VM much faster than real hardware.

No koreader support yet which is a deal breaker for me, but I'll keep an eye on it for sure.
