Gratulerer med dagen 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

conrad82,

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

Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.

I cannot stand google news any more, too much spam, clickbait and advertisement. So I decided to try to selfhost an RSS aggregator to make myself a news feed that I would be comfortable with. Being RSS such an “ancient” thing I thought there will be many mature systems, but I’m not sure that’s the case…...

conrad82,

I use miniflux, and flux news app on android. It looks nice and works well (i posted about it some time ago 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.

conrad82,

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

conrad82,

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

conrad82,

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.

conrad82,

I just bought one, but I haven’t set it up yet. But it looks like it will fit me nicely based on apalrd video youtu.be/qML-ct2dGvQ

conrad82,

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

conrad82,

I tried this, but couldn’t find a better editor as android app. The closest I got was Zettel notes. But silverbullet worked better

conrad82,

I installed k-9 mail / Thunderbird on my android phone and set it to sync all emails, so I have local copy on my phone

conrad82,

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 👍

conrad82,

I too use miniflux and I like it

I made a post some weeks ago lemmy.world/post/9574514

conrad82,

This is what I do, using proxmox.

I do something similar to youtu.be/Hu3t8pcq8O0 for the NAS bit. Then I have a VM with docker containers for different services

conrad82,

I use debian now for the first time in years. But the new version just released, so we’ll see how long it lasts

conrad82,

I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! silverbullet.md - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page

conrad82,

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

conrad82,

It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn’t always work.

The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.

conrad82,

I’m trying it out now 🙂 I didn’t know about this one, thanks!

I miss the swipe to mark as read. Otherwise it looks nice, I’ll try it for a few days!

conrad82,

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.

  • Fedora
  • Ubuntu
  • Mint
  • Pop OS

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 youtu.be/09cYQJBgKEs?si=KX8FZeMRcMlPTzG2

conrad82,

I play nonograms katana when I’m on airplanes. Could fit your situation as well. the smaller ones take less than 5 minutes to complete

Nextcloud vs Syncthing for PKM notes?

I’d like to sync my markdown notes between devices (laptop and phone), which service is better: Nextcloud or Syncthing? Any other important idea I should know?, like latency times, or maximum number of synced devices, what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network… For...

conrad82,

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 silverbullet.md , it’s great 🙂. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline

conrad82,

I don’t have a solution really, but I’m also thinking along your lines.

For files I share with my girlfriend, I have set up syncthing. So my server and our phones have a copy of the files, I like this solution. But it wouldn’t work for large amounts of data.

For my server stuff, it is backed up encrypted on backblaze. so I guess that is lost. Most files are also rsynced onto a usb drive connected to a raspberry pi (not encrypted). So that should be accessible, except for a linux’y filesystem (probably ext4) that doesn’t work on windows

conrad82,

Yes, sorry - I meant the storage space on mobile phone. or a laptop.

conrad82,

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
