Yeah this meme is a little uninformed 😅

Or you could get it directly from their github releases using obtainium if you don’t like to mix repos in to fdroid.

The one that caught my attention was the lady in pink. It could be the camera perspective, but her hand seems wierdly enlarged. Between that, the other lady’s hand and the static husband it gives it a fever dream quality 😂

Once you notice the hands in this meme… 😶

Saber notes is really good. It’s more for notes, annotating PDFs and simple artwork than anything graphic design level though.

I initially started out with that, it worked fairly well but I did notice a significant speed increase when syncing after getting the Joplin server set up. The downside is having another service publicly exposed though, a more minimal set up does have its benefits.

Yeah, I hear you there. I usually get overwhelmed by the time I get to the “B” section.

I think (looking back at your post) the most important thing that helped me was learning how to use docker-compose. All of my services are in docker containers and are much more manageable then trying to do a bare metal install.

With that comes the struggle of security though, as docker containers use their own set of firewall rules distinct from the main firewall rules you might have setup on your server. If you end up using docker, do a few searches on how to secure those firewall rules for the containers themselves.

I have definitely benefited from other peoples current set up lists, I’ll leave mine here in case it sparks some interesting directions for you.

• Diun - notification service for when new images are released for any running docker apps I have up.

• Immich - self-hosted photos backup. Incredible app, its extremely refined and feature complete.

• Jellyfin (Linuxserver.io image) - personal media streaming service. The Linuxserver.io version was much easier to set up than the stock jellyfin version.

• Joplin server - self-hosted back end for Joplin notes sync. Much faster and more reliable than the 3rd party sync targets like one drive or Dropbox.

• Mealie - recipe management.

• Nextcloud - so many things. Calendar, files, kanban, contacts, etc… Personally I find Nextcloud’s documentation hard to follow, so I’ve linked the video tutorial I used to set mine up.

• Nginx proxy manager - reverse proxy with basic protections built in. I’m on the fence on suggesting this one and have been considering switching to something else, as it rarely gets updates these days. It is the only one I’ve been able to wrap my head around though. Zoraxy, Traefic and Swag are all other options. You mentioned having Nginx set up already, so this might not even be an issue for you.

• Paperless-NGX - document server and archive. All you need is the docker-compose.env and docker-compose.postgres.yml from the linked directory. Tweak the compose and env values as you see fit and remove the “postgres” from the file name before firing it up.

• Portainer - basically just a GUI for viewing docker services. You can manage docker images and stacks with portainer, but I would recommend just learning the docker-compose method in general.

If you ever run into instructions for setting something up with a regular docker command but want to convert it to a docker-compose.yml file instead, this site is super useful: composerize.com

Definitely check DB Tech’s videos put on YouTube. He covers a ton of self-hosted apps and how to set them up. You’ll have to sift through a bit, not all the apps he talks about are really necessary, but I basically learned self-hosting through his channel.

Look for stuff on authelia, crowdsec or fail2ban with regards security for your server and decide what direction you want to go there.

Christian Lempa’s channel is also good, though can be more technically oriented.

EDIT: also, this github repo has an amazing (though overwhelming) list if self-hosted services. Awesome Self-hosted.

It does go quiet for months at a time, but then someone will make a post and everyone will jump in and post their current set up. Then it goes dark for another few months 😄

Nice, I haven’t tried that termux widget yet. Here’s a Lemmy community just for android home screens if you’re interested: !c/android_homescreens@lemmy.ml

Awesome setup. I tried kvaesitso in the past but couldn’t get comfortable with it. I’ll have to give it another shot and try to get it dialed in.

You should post this over in !c/android_homescreens@lemmy.ml, it would be appreciated there too.

Checked on mobile, doesn’t happen for me. I’ll try on my desktop Arch setup.

I have my tasks.org set to CalDAV sync, then using my Nextcloud info as normal for the credentials with Nextcloud selected as server type. I’ve found that owncloud also works just as well for that setting. That along with the CalDAV address should be it for the Tasks.org app itself. I believe you’ll also need the DAVx5 app to sync the CalDAV info this way, but it seemed to work better for me than the straight up Nextcloud connection.

I’m not totally sure on the gaming aspect, but I really liked CalyxOS when I was using it. It has good support for most Play store apps, and most Microsoft apps don’t even need MicroG to operate. The things that don’t work (on any non Google ROM) are casting to chromecast, Android Auto, and Google pay. RCS didn’t work on CalyxOS, so I switched to GrapheneOS to get RCS functionality, but if I ever decide I don’t want that anymore I’d go back to CalyxOS. There’s some things I don’t like much about the user space Google play stuff on Graphene and there is a ton of reliance on grapheneOS servers for low level system checks that I don’t know how I feel about.

You won’t be able to download paid apps unless you log in to Aurora store with your Google account, and some people have reported getting there accounts deactivated for doing that. Never happened to me though.

Interesting, sounds like it’s worth checking out. Plus as a star trek fan, I approve of the name 😄

I haven’t tried Borg, but have noticed it mentioned pretty often in data hoarder forums. What do you like about it?

How are your backups currently stored, simple copies of the files like you would make with rsync? I assume your on a Linux NAS, in which case fdupes would likely fit the bill. meld would be another option, and it also has a GUI if your NAS isn’t headless.

For future backups restic might be a nice option as it deduplicates itself each time you run the backup. You can set retention policies (i.e. 7 daily, 4 weekly, 2 monthly, etc…) that only keep regulated intervals of backups.

Interesting, I always head over to my desktop to export to PDF. That’s nice to know there’s an android option.

That’s strange, I can’t say I’ve experienced any of that over the past few years I’ve been using it. I have seen small differences in how windows and Linux handle the connection, but I think that has more to do with my Linux network settings than the app.

KDEConnect works great, you can share every form of content I’ve run across between desktop and mobile device. Runs on Linux, Windows and Android. Not sure if there’s a Mac client.
