alt Hacker NewsI've been wondering how to get off the Zuckerverse (I still post on Instagram) and wondered if I can streamline uploading pictures to my own website. I imagine a Telegram bot that receives an image + caption, with backend code that creates such a blog post and does a git push is one way of doing it.
It seems this post talks about blogging from the desktop. But I just installed Obsidian on Android, it allows a filesystem vault. I think pairing it with Syncthing and some automation on my NAS (to do a git push to Github/Gitlab) could make it very streamlined.
You can install or use any of the open pixelfed instances instead of Instagram.
I stopped uploading to Instagram the day they started using images for AI training.
If any of the file syncing applications work directly on the filesystem, I think you can use Obsidian on these folders and it'll sync automatically. On iOS, Obsidian defaults to iCloud, for example.
