• Mastodon logo shows if post was xposted and hyperlinks (also shows an embed on the post page of the mastodon post with stats)
• Likes work and are counted
• Comment links to the comments section powered by a self hosted isso instance. Counts also work
• Photo is the total photo count on the post
• View Post is always there, but changed to Read more if truncated by total photos being more than 3
• Share provides a copy link or email

A few of my favorite things:

• Posts are truncated by character limit and photo count, 3. Also shows a number of photos on the post
• Has a like button via https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/applause-button that shows on the home page and direct posts
• A very slick /tags page
• All colors are in line with https://catppuccin.com/palette/

Looking to add web mentions support and better integration with my mastodon

Why I use this opensource tool for my analytics

I've dabbled in self hosting my blog on and off for years.

Something  that i never really felt was where I wanted it was light site stats. I  had no interest in paying for this functionality, or giving big brother  Google any of my data.

When I landed on Ghost, they did not have the partnership with Tinybird yet, so I started to dig.

I finally found Umami

Out the gate i was really impressed on how easy it is to get going.

Once I set up my site, it gave me a simple script to add to the site. Once done, I could see all the goodies I was after.

A quick post on how and why i use self hosted LLMs

While I have strong feelings about the overarching "AI" umbrella, open-source models and tools are neat.

Powered my home lab, with unraid, the ollama docker, and the open-webui docker.

Right now, these are my favorite opensource models:

• Llama 3.1 - Fast, solid all-rounder; tool-calling support
• Qwen 2.5 - Stronger multilingual, math, code
• OLMo 2 7 B - 100 % open training pipeline
• Mistral 7 B Instruct v0.3 - Fast, creative writing
• StarCoder2 7 B - Code-generation specialist, 600+ langs.

I have a few more at the ready when needed

My unraid server just might have a run away docker image 🏚️🔥
