I'm not sure you're asking a question.
Software for what?
-
Like what are the essentials you have that are very handy in any situation
-
Why even worry about that? Solve for things you need solved for. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing for their own reasons. You'll drive yourself crazy.

Forgot minecraft server
-
You nailed it.
And if someone wants to install lots of random stuff, there's always: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

100%. When it comes to self-hosting, or anything really, be a minimalist. For your sake, and for the sake of whoever might need to maintain things when you've leave this earth.

There was a really good discussion recently which will give you some ideas - see https://piefed.social/post/436507?sort=top

Forgejo, immich, planka, seafile

Get a better CPU?

Eh, there's something to be said for experimental periods in my view. Sometimes you try out new programs that you wouldn't think would be useful but end up becoming essential. And then culling mercilessly anything that turns out to be not useful, or overly complex to maintain, reducing your maintenance burden.
-
For sure, if the need calls for it, that works well.
But looking for random things to install and maintain without an actual need creates so many issues.
-
Actual budget, grist, lubelogger (if you own a vehicle). Maybe fittrackee if you do sports.
And silverbullet, indeed radicale to get rid of google contacts and calendar.
And stirlingpdf is also great...
-
I read about silverbullet a few times now. What is your experience with it? It looks very nice but I switch note taking apps so often I don't have time to use any of them properly.
-
Its nice and pretty nerdy. As web based nmarkdown editor in pretty good and the extra features rocks.
It has a few quirks I don't like though, on the self-hosted side:
- no multi-user support.
- auth is quirky and required a ticket to make it work at all
- must be deployed on subdomain, which make it impossible to host multiple instances for multiple users easily
But from functionality point of view, I love it
-
I mean, this is correct.
But this is a laptop. Probably just had laying around
-
If you're using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.
-
They asked for recommendations...
-
Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr.
These services let you find, download, and manage tv shows/movies from multiple trackers. You can even start tracking a tv show that's still running and it'll download new seasons as and when they're released. From there they're forwarded to your torrent client.
It's awesome, lets my non-technical GF add movies and tv shows without me, and means we're up to date on severance!
-
Yeah I've given some recommendations but it's really good to just start small and pick up new stuff as you go, then you can identify your needs and do a big upgrade.
