Lots of new features being added.

But the most interesting part is that they seem to want to change the configuration format from JS to using a CSS.

I know that there are countless amount of movies/games soundtracks with leitmotifs, but other than that I've never found albums with leitmotifs.

(This is a repost of this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1fbv41n/what_are_the_things_that_makes_a_selfhostable/, I wanna ask this here just in case folks in this community also have some thoughts about it)

What are the things that makes a selfhostable app/project project good? Maybe another way to phrase this question is, what are the things that makes a project easier to self-host?

I have been developing an application that focuses on being easy to selfhost. I have been looking around for existing and already good project such as paperless-ngx, Immich, etc.

From what I gather the most important thing are:

• Good docs, this is probably the most important. The developer must document how to self-host
• Less runtime dependency--I'm not sure about this one, but the less it depends on other services the better
• Optional OIDC--I'm even less sure about this one, and I'm also not sure about implementing this feature on my own app as it's difficult to develop. It seems that after reading this subreddit/community, I concluded that lots of people here prefer to separate identity/user pool and app service. This means running a separate service for authentication and authorization.

What do you think? Another question is, are there any more good project that can be used as a good example of selfhostable app?

Thank you

Some redditors responded on the post:

• easy to install, try, and configure with sane defaults
• availabiity of image on dockerhub
• screenshots
• good GUI

I also came across this comment from Hacker News lately, and I think about it a lot

This is what self-hosted software should be. An app, self-contained, (essentially) a single file with minimal dependencies.

Not something so complex that it requires docker. Not something that requires you to install a separate database. Not something that depends on redis and other external services.

I’ve turned down many self-hosted options due to the complexity of the setup and maintenance.

Do you agree with this?

Will we even see commercial electric planes in our lifetime?

From what I know, what's stopping it from becoming commercialized(?) is limitation of current generation battery. TBH I'm not an expert on this subject.

Transjakarta is eyeing to operate 50 percent electric buses by 2027.

Jakarta Acting Governor Heru Budi Hartono previously set a target of adding 400 electric buses by 2025. In 2023, at least 190 more electric buses will be in operation to improve the city's air quality, bringing the total to 220.

Apart from Transjakarta electric buses, the city administration is also keen to open more Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) in South Jakarta and Central Jakarta as these two areas have a lot of offices, schools, and other activity centers.

This is actually pretty old news. The latest news is that TransJakarta actually just added 200 units of EV buses (I can't find any news about this from English publication sadly) [1]. Making the total EV buses in operation 300 units.

As a context, there are two kinds of TransJakarta buses: high-deck/BRT and low-deck/non-BRT. Previously, TransJakarta added low-deck buses in Jakarta back in 2022. This year they are planning to add the high-deck version of EV buses for the first time. As far as I know, the new buses will be in operation just in time on christmas this year.

As an Indonesian, I am kinda surprised to see at least like one or two EV each day in Jakarta and Surabaya, especially when EVs here are still considered expensive cars.

I am also surprised seeing more EVs than hybrid cars here
