    I just setup Pairdrop on my home server. Holy crap it's amazing!

    Nice! Yeah, I've been a big fan of it. Planning to eventually replace my custom Snapdrop with Pairdrop since they've made quite a few other improvements.

      I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

      For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.
      Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

      What is that service for you?

        Syncthing. Decentralized data backup that works with minimal setup. Now I can add cloud sync to most any app.

        I setup my own with a bash script for backup years ago that uses rsync, feel too invested in that now to change

          Joplin.

          Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I've reached my limit of cost vs value.

          I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

          I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

            https://mealie.io/

            Recipe manager and meal planner which can pull recipes from the web. I started using it after a few recipes on sites disappeared. My families most used app (besides plex).

            I landed on Tandoor. I had a bunch of recipes on one of those web sites and they switched to a subscription model and locked me out of my recipes. I don't remember why I chose Tandoor over Mealie, but having full ownership over my recipes is freeing.

              I've installed it as well but the blackout/redact feature didn't work as expected..So not sure if it will be that useful for me. But since I ditched Adobe, I now at least have a PDF editor.

              I was disappointed with the automatic redact feature too, but saw that they just updated and added a graphical one also.

                When I was looking into matrix bridges I heard a bunch of stories about people getting their accounts blocked after using them through the bridges. Is this still an issue?

                I've been using it for almost a year by now, and so far I didn't have any problems. I've not considered that problem though, so it might be happening and I was just lucky.

                  There is, but it requires you to log into the app every two weeks to maintain a session. You can setup a emulator to do it for you. I just have a separate profile on my Graphene with Only WhatsApp that I switch to and login whenever I get a warning.

                    Yeah, that part about WhatsApp is annoying. I just have a spearate profile on Graphene that has only WhatsApp installed, and whenever it wants me to refresh a session I just switch to the profile and log in.

                      I think I'd be fine with that. I'm using lots of Free Software projects, have Linux on my computers, wifi router, use random projects and Fediverse platforms ... So far every time one of my passwords got leaked it was some breach of a proprietary platform (last.fm, Facebook, ...) while the Free Software has served me very well.

                      Yeah, that's my experience as well. In addition to being lazy with updating, so if some kind of supply chain attack happens, I usually sorts itself out before I get to updating đŸ˜„

                      But I did limit my browser extensions, after I a cause with Nano Defender taught me a lesson - it was a mildly popular anit-anti-adblock killer that worked where other adblocks were detected, but the developer sold the extension to a company that turned it into a info-stealer malware and pushed an update through chrome store, which got accepted and propagated, and some of my social network sessions got compromised. So, I just stick to more popular projects where something like this shouldn't happen, and don't use random extensions.

                        IIRC immich is like a google photos replacement. I use nextcloud for that on android but it's not so simple on ios. How's immich for ios, do uploads work automatically in the background? How's performance?

                          Been using anytype.io (self-hosted) for a month now and it has been amazing.

                          Using it as a journal, bookmark manager, general note taking, etc...

                            Would recommend putting a memory limit on the container.
                            I had it crash my server by eating it all up.

                                Watch out to enable "keep on delete" features. I didn't do that and didn't see that gigabytes of personal photos got deleted which I had to recover from an old backup. Still don't know how it happened as I only found out a few weeks after the fact.

                                Sync is not backup! If there's a software bug or a wrong setting sync can delete your files. Syncthing is pretty mature so I doubt this was a Syncthing bug, however you shouldn't only trust Syncthing. I'm doing btrfs snapshots weekly and delete them after three years for important folders nowadays.

                                  Those are certainly valid points. But do I want to care about that? Honest question... Discord also doesn't care about my privacy. Or making the internet a better place. So I think -in turn- I feel quite alright to ignore whatever client they like me to use.

                                  What's with the "taxing for large and active Discord servers"? Does it lead to issues if I'm not using their Electron app or website? I can't imagine where this additional strain on their servers would come from?! I run my own homeserver, by the way. So I shouldn't weigh down on anyone else's server...

                                  When you use the official discord client, it only sends to your device whatever chat channel you have open at the time, and when you click on a different channel, it just downloads the last 20 messages, and downloads more when you scroll etc. If you bridge a discord server to a matrix server, it sends all of the contents of all of the channels in real time across. If the server had 50 channels, bridging it to matrix would be the equivalent of you having 50 official clients open, one to each channel. Hence the additional load on discord’s side to send you a lot more data than they usually would.

                                  (Disclaimer: this is all conjecture based on a general understanding of how the systems work, I could be getting some details wrong)

                                    Of course it is.

                                    You can download different models as well. For me, without a GPU, searching for example 'cat' takes a few seconds, and it is not the most accurate, but still works OK.

                                    This is exactly why I’d want a GPU in a home server.

                                    That and transcoding. Wonder what the best option would be without breaking the bank/wasting too much idle power. All the GPU talk online seems to be for gaming.

                                      Thanks for explaining. That makes perfect sense. I was under the impression there might be something else.

                                      I'm not interested in forwarding spam in the first place. I don't think I have any use of channels where messages just fly by... So I think I should be safe.

                                        Yeah I left the massively overpriced closed source YNAB and Actual is actually better.

                                          That's easily Home Assistant. It got me into the whole home automation stuff and I have gradually included more and more parts into it - including some health related stuff. It really makes my family's life easier and helps us organizing it.

                                          Are you able to provide a few quick examples? I have it installed but don't know what to do with it really.
