I’ve recently discovered a interesting GitHub project called “App Defaults.” It serves as a go-to software list for bloggers. Robb has aggregated the article links and RSS feeds from the authors into a convenient OPML file for hassle-free subscription.
It’s time to summarize the default applications of 2023. This year has brought about some changes, as I have gradually started self-hosting certain applications. It has led me to develop my own lifestyle, and I like it.

Q: What is self-hosting service?
A: “Self-hosting” refers to hosting and managing applications, data, and services on one’s own server or infrastructure, rather than relying on third-party hosting services.
Benefits of Self-Hosting
- Control: You have full control over your applications and data.
- Data Privacy and Security: By self-hosting, you can maintain control over your privacy. Unlike many vendors who utilize privacy data for analysis and targeted advertising, self-hosting allows you to avoid concerns about privacy breaches and keep your data in your own hands.
- Scalability: Self-hosting enables you to flexibly expand and adjust according to your needs, including the option for further development.
- Cost Control: Self-hosting can be more cost-effective in the long run compared to using third-party hosting services.
