Yup rss is very scary

It's all about getting visitors to come back to a website. People consume so much content every single day, so it's extremely easy for your website to be forgotten in all of the madness.

By having a newsletter you get recurring visitors, not just fly by clicks.

 

I have been trying to setup my own newsletter for ages.

All of the platforms that I researched asked for stupid amounts of money for the services they where offering.

20$/month for 500 subscribers is not fair pricing mailchimp.

So I looked around the web for selfhosted solutions. Finally I found Listmonk, it's a selfhosted newsletter and mailing list manager, written in go and is extremely performant.

So I wrote an article on how to set that up!

I hope this helps some fellow selfhosters!

Great question

I always found setting up a git server from scratch to be quite confusing and I also like the webui that gitea offers.

But recently I have also started moving some of my github projects there so having a link (with a readme and everything) that I can share with others is important.

Silly question but what is the problem with gitea being for profit?

 

I've recently set up my own Gitea instance and I figured I'd share a simple guide on how to do it yourself. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone looking to get started.
