Why RSS
Gone are the days when you could just find a random blog on Internet where someone wrote about tinkering with their home lab or someone shared about the obscure art they know. Today’s web is highly curated and everything is filtered out to show you the content that would generate most revenue. Search engines are filled with optimized results that can easily be categorized as spam. And social media is filled with highly polished, attractive content that may not add any value at all to an individuals life.

Git Commit Signing For Linuxserver CI | Info :: LinuxServer.io
Effective immediately we have started signing all of the git commits created by our CI account (I know, we should have done this a while ago but there were logistical issues that made it difficult). This means you can verify that all commits to our repos were, in fact, authored by us and that any commits to other random repos, were not. Most of the individuals who commit to our repos already sign their commits, but we’re working on getting everyone else into that position in the near future.

Content Spotlight: Pocket ID

Meet Pocket ID, a self-hosted OIDC authentication provider. Meant to serve as a simple alternative to other popular platforms, Pocket ID is easy to deploy and only supports passkey authentication. Once up-and-running, clients can be easily added via an administration page, which will generate the relevant IDs and secrets required for client-side configuration.

Pocket ID can be installed via Docker or bare metal and utilizes a SQLite database for storage. The developer also provides a guide for proxying services that don't support OIDC via OAuth2.
