    This is awesome! Signed up. Are you planning on open sourcing it? I’m sure I would self host something like this.

      Thanks! I’d love to open-source it. However, I can’t justify the time commitment it would take yet. I’ve open-sourced many smaller projects, and I always feel compelled to answer every email I get. I wish I could post it and then just ignore it, but I really can’t.

      I did make a deal with myself a long time ago. If I can get enough supporters on Patreon, I will open-source it. The code is already pretty cleaned-up and ready to go. It’s pure PHP, no dependencies. No frameworks or anything.

        Post code with no email address to contact you? ;)

          I actually did that with one project. People find a way.

          Anyway, my name is all over this by now.

          Sweet project, man! I’ve already set it up to email me whenever my name is mentioned on reddit. I’m just a poor student so I can’t justify a patreon (or I could, if it were just 1 project, but there are so many projects I’d love to support) so I’ll have to content myself with just saying thanks, it’s a great idea and a great post explaining it.

            I’m glad you like it! I put it online in the hope that others would find it useful, so I appreciate your comment!

        Curious that the “Linux Geek bundle” books that catch my eye are the OpenBSD-related ones: Book of pf and Absolute OpenBSD. Thought on these two books, anyone?

        For background, I switched to OpenBSD a couple months ago, after being on Linux since 2.4…

          I read Absolute OpenBSD ~1 year after switching and reading man pages, and still got a lot of value out of it. Bear in mind I’m only 22 so it might not say much new to old school people :)

            I’m a tourist from Linux, but I love Michael Lucas. Absolute OpenBSD was an awesome read, even though I don’t use OpenBSD much at the moment.

            I really liked Be Your Own VPN Provider With OpenBSD v2 – This is not just about setting up OpenVPN, it covers an FDE install, basic steps to make the default install even more secure, has a PF config (great for PF newbies who want to see a practical example) and it guides you through setting up unbound with dnscrypt-proxy.

            There are also two great vmd guides I know of: 1, 2. This repo complements them very well.

            I always start with the man pages, but in vmd’s case I needed a working example to get me going.

              • KISS Launcher The best launcher ever. Can’t recommend enough.
              • BeHe Keyboard Best keyboard I found. I only miss emoji support.
              • Conversations best mobile XMPP client
              • Odyssey Best music player I found, support scrobbling using Simple Last.fm Scrobbler – It’s also great for audio books and podcasts as it has a bookmark feature.
              • M.A.L.P MPD remote control
              • MuPDF For viewing PDFs
              • Maps Decent Google Maps replacement
              • NewPipe Very good youtube client, I’d say better than the original.
              • DAVdroid Sync calendars and contacts with my personal DAV server

                I love the KISS launcher. Do you know if Odyssey ever resolved being able to play opus files? My quick read through their repo suggests not.
