    Self-hosted FreshRSS here as well. I use the web app for mobile to keep things simple. It works great!

    Not OP, but I use NameSilo for my .ws domain. Also, you can compare registrar prices at tldes.com/ws

    I use duplicacy with Wasabi for the backend. I also use rclone to create a local backup to my NAS. It was far more fiddly than something like BackBlaze, but now that I've gotten all of the filters...

    I use duplicacy with Wasabi for the backend. I also use rclone to create a local backup to my NAS. It was far more fiddly than something like BackBlaze, but now that I've gotten all of the filters in place it's been working great for a few years now. I use the CLI so restoring isn't nearly as nice, but it works. The developer built a GUI after I started using the CLI, so that would probably be a more user-friendly experience.

    I used to use CrashPlan until the app started having issues running out of memory, and then the company decided they didn't want to offer the service for individuals. Part of my search was to find something that didn't rely on a service that could be shut down. If Wasabi closed up shop, I could easily point duplicacy to another backend like BackBlaze B2, S3, etc.

    I also use a few Hetzner VPSes. They're the best deal for a VPS I've found and have been rock solid in the past couple of years I've been using them.

    Thanks for sharing - Zola looks great! I've been using Hugo, but never loved the Golang template engine. Using something similar to Jinja would be a dream in comparison.

    Cheers to this! I too struggle with analysis paralysis, and the only way I've found to make progress is diving in. It helps to remind myself there is no one right way, and you can always improve...
