Reddit discussion on web scraping options

Scrapes URLs given as input and saves them regardless of JS and other BS

Checked out the alternatives. I think I’ll settle with Wallabag as I already have one already running. This is especially useful in scraping Philippine Lotto Results.

What actually happened in the GoToSocial update issue

Hi all, we’ve noticed that some people who used the docker latest tag were already running 0.18.0-rc1 without realizing it. The backport release of 0.17.4 yesterday overwrote the latest tag (because tobi is a boob), so folks pulling the Docker container again may run into issue.

I had to fix the tag to 0.18.0-rc2 for my Gotosocial instance to get going.

MediaTracker

Self hosted media tracker for movies, tv shows, video games, books and audiobooks.

Another Trakt alternative. Why expand to video games, books, and audiobooks, though?

Watcharr

Open source, self-hostable watched list for all your content (movies, tv series, anime, games) with user authentication, modern and clean UI and a very simple setup.

Now that Trakt.tv started implementing stricter limits to free users, time to look for alternatives.

Finished set up of dedicated Python container to house my various Python scripts. Now I don’t have to rely to Code Server container being up in order to execute them on schedule.

#Memos now has Shortcuts where you can have custom filters set up. Close to one of my wishlists for Memos, but I would have preferred a permalink for these shortcuts so I can bookmark them and easily get back to them later: www.usememos.com/∞ #UseMemos

💰 Ever tried processing payments on a holiday? Yeah, banks just laugh at you. 🤡 I wrote a Power Query function that skips weekends and holidays to get the next banking day—because money waits for no one (except financial institutions).

🚀 Need to make sure your financial reports don’t land on a weekend? I just wrote about a Power Query function that finds the next banking day—because banks don’t care about your deadlines, but your spreadsheets should. 💸📊
