few days late here, but that pastebin had some really good feeds 🙏 I noticed the OPML file was labeled FreshRSS and I also use FreshRSS. So I fixed up the feeds and configured FreshRSS to scrape the full articles (when possible) and bypass ads, tracking and paywalls.

I figured I’d pay it forward by sharing my revised OPML file.

I also included some of my other feeds that are related (if you or anyone else is interested).

Some of the feeds are created from scratch since a few if these sites don’t offer RSS, so if the sites change their layout the configs may need to be adjusted a bit, but in my experience this rarely happens.

I had to replace some of the urls with publicly hosted versions of the front-ends I host locally and scrape, but feel free to change it up however you like.

yes, external termination is definitely ideal (I prefer https when possible as my browsers are set to reject http and it gets annoying with local stuff. plus I’ve got a local CA I use so it’s not a lot of extra work to set up).

Thing is, I find HA a bit frustrating to configure, it’s not like the other linux LXCs/VMs I run on my proxmox so I’m not super familiar with installing stuff outside of the HA OS in that container. is the process any different than running nginx on any other distro?

as far as subtitles go, I’ve had good luck with Bazarr:

something like 95% stays local and is remote accessed via wireguard, The rest is stuff I need to host via a hostname with a trusted cert because apps I use require that or if I need to share links to files for work, school etc. For the external stuff I use Cloudflare tunnels just because I use DDNS and want to avoid/can’t use port forwarding. works well for me.

that’s a good point, didn’t think of that. I never saw any kind of setting on Venstar’s end to adjust any related settings (not surprised tbh). Maybe I can find something in HA to allow http calls for that device alone? I’m gonna look into that

I tried that; it re-paired but then disappeared after about a day or so. Figure there is something going on with my NAT/Avahi setup, but this shouldn’t be an issue considering it worked before I added TLS. Maybe there is a setting in HA that I need to adjust.

I’m not as familiar with the networking configuration options in HA. I’m assuming I have everything set up correctly since everything else works as intended. I’m running it as a VM in Proxmox and my background is in network development so naturally everything else on my network is installed in regular linux vms/containers behind nginx. Is there a specific config file for https or is it just the usual HA config file?

if memory serves me correctly, Trådfri lights run on Zigbee, no? I don’t personally use Trådfri but I’ve got Hue bulbs on my Home Assistant and bypass the Philips Hue hub altogether by running Zigbee2MQTT on my Home Assistant with a Sonoff Zigbee dongle plugged in. that helped solve random Hue Hub disconnects from my HA altogether. I highly recommend running all things zigbee this way.
