I use Nextcloud Notes and Tasks extensively.

Notes is kind of bare-bones compared to Carnet, which is more like Google Keep, but it’s fast, syncs with its own Android app, and stores notes as regular files in your Nextcloud folder so you can use any text editor with them.

Tasks hooks into the calendar system and can sync with anything that supports CalDAV. I use Davx5 to sync it (along with my calendars and contacts) to my phone, where I use OpenTasks to actually manage my to-do list. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t support recurring tasks very well. I’ve sort of managed to work around that by syncing with Thunderbird, which lets me create recurring tasks in the underlying calendar data.

When someone named Kafka says it’s the “weirdest”…that says something!

I learned the term “glass cliff” when she was hired.

The rest of the page? Probably. I stopped reading after the comic.

I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.

It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.

If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.

But that doesn’t help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.

I’m using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren’t supported in the corresponding app.

I’m using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.

Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.

Even better: the one-star review on the pre-order page complaining that it’s not out yet!
