My email calendars I leave alone, but I use caldav for personal calendar and tasks.
I use radicale as caldav server, and tasks.org on android and thunderbird on computer. Tasks.org works very well
I also use silverbullet (silverbullet.md) for more complex todo lists
I use miniflux, and flux news app on android. It looks nice and works well (i posted about it some time ago https://lemmy.world/post/9574514 )
I am not missing any features, but I am not doing anything fancy. I have grouped the rss feeds, if that counts as filtering
I have used it for a long time now, and I don’t have an urge to try and find something better, like I do for some other self hosted stuff.
I might miss your target, but have you considered tasks.org android app + caldav?
I have been using silverbullet the last few months, but I struggle keeping up with its updates (too bleeding edge at the moment). I has a lot of nice features like all markdown, queries and templates.
Now I am back to tasks.org app + radicale self-hosted caldav server. For tasks it flows so well on android. for windows you need to use something that supports caldav, like thunderbird.
When silverbullet matures and if it is still fast and offline, I might go back. It has a lot of nice stuff going on. I still use for stuff like recipes and travel lists
I used it for a few years, but it broke a few times, and I had to search online and find an occ command to fix it. It also could break if you didn’t upgrade regularly and skipped versions. Or you upgraded too quickly before a bug was hotfixed.
Maybe it is better now, but I looked into alternatives and found syncthing to be awesome (after I switched from iphone to android). I use samba share for cold storage. Syncthing can take a lot of space since it syncs all the files to all units
I ended up with syncthing + the default gallery app on my samsung galaxy phone. It works well for me.
But I don’t have a crazy amount of images, the phone storage needs to be large enough.
Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, …), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions
I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet
My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful
I also have internal only traffic, but I still use let’s encrypt. I self signed for a couple of years, but switching to proper certificates made things much simpler and better. Especially on mobile.
I use a combination of my own domain and caddy. and duckdns, since my domain registrar does not have an api caddy can use, but I can point my domain to my duckdns domain and it works 👍
I too use miniflux and I like it
I made a post some weeks ago https://lemmy.world/post/9574514
I use debian now for the first time in years. But the new version just released, so we’ll see how long it lasts
I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page
For me, it makes the clients disposable. I can reinstall the laptop, desktop, phone and be up and running in no time, without doing backups and preparation. Also it is easy to jump between clients.
The server needs to be backed up though
I would recommend using one of the distros backed by a big company or have very long track records. They are less likely to break on updates, and have a higher chance of supporting any uncommon hardware you may have.
If you have new hardware (e.g. GPU newer than 6 months) you will probably have issues. Follow the recommendations from the hardware supplier, or use something arch based. I used Manjaro a while when I got new hardware.
Besides those tips, you should decide which desktop environment you like best. I prefer gnome, as I enjoy to spend time in apps and not on in settings. Others prefer customization. Have a look at https://youtu.be/09cYQJBgKEs?si=KX8FZeMRcMlPTzG2
I have used both, and syncthing is the most stable in my opinion. But you will get sync conflicts/ duplicates if you work on the same file
For working on markdown files you should additionally look into https://silverbullet.md , it’s great 🙂. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline
I agree. It is under rapid development.
I replaced memos + markdown file editing with silverbullet some months back and I use it more and more. It has optional offline support
Have you considered silverbullet? the documentation uses silverbullet, and is editable (but not persistent) so you can test how it feels
I tried it briefly, but it doesn’t/didn’t support disk encryption. For my laptop this is a must, so I’ll wait until it is implemented and out of alpha.
I use Debian + Gnome without custom extensions and like it.
I don’t use too many programs, so in the overview I have Firefox in position 1, signal in position 2 and steam in 3. Then I use Win+1,2,3 to launch them.
For other programs, I hit Win and then start typing the name and hit enter.
For switching between windows, i use alt-tab or alt-(key above tab). If I have many windows or playing game in full screen, I hit Win-key once and choose the window i want.
I don’t use workspaces, never found a good flow. And I rarely miss a taskbar.
I used yadm for a while and liked it. It is a git wrapper that makes git’ing your home folder for config files less messy
Now I don’t care so much for keeping settings anymore and use mainly vanilla settings, therefore I stopped using it
I use nforwardauth and caddy for authentication, I think it is one of the simplest solutions https://github.com/nosduco/nforwardauth
I have used them since januar 2019, and I don’t have any complaints. I have only needed to restore backups once - it worked as well as could be expected.
Any issues with backups have always been on my side
