  • Wallabag does not, at least not officially. There are some scripts folks have written over on Reddit and a few other sites that do it, but I've not tried any of them.

    Omnivore doesn't....yet? Looks like they're talking about it though. Send to Kindle

  • I don't remember why, but there was some reason I wrote off LogSeq. I tried so many apps but Obsidian was the best fit for me. Maybe I'll have to try Logseq again and remember...

  • Wallabag is great. If you don't want to host, their fee is super low. Like $11/yr or something. That said, I think Omnivore is a better app. But I use Miniflux as my RSS feed reader and it offers super tight integration with Wallabag (and others). Literally click save in Miniflux and it sends it to Wallabag for you. So for now, I'm staying. I did put in a feature request with Miniflux for the same integration level with Omnivore, so maybe in the future?

  • Seafile. Nextcloud runs like ass, particularly on low powered devices like the Pi.

  • Right you are! That's great. It has the potential to be a real contender in this category once those features are in place.

  • I was looking for a journaling app that didn't have vendor locking, or required some weird export dump that messed your formatting and folders up. That lead me to Markdown and Obsidian. I love it. And when I die, that shit will still be readable by any basic text editor.

  • Notesnook for sure. I really disliked Joplin. Particularly the Android app. Just really poorly designed.

    Acreom promise but it's new enough they don't have E2EE or even local only on mobile. Both are on the road map. Dev seems engaged and cool though.

    Edit: I didn't see the open source req, acreom isn't. But it's still a cool app. And I'd they can get local only on mobile, then you can sync however you want as it's just flat Markdown, similar to Obsidian.

  • Seafile w/Collabora

    I adore Seafile and this looks like a great option. I haven't been able to get it going on my instance yet, but I'm still learning all of this self hosting and FOSS stuff.

  • Good point. I forgot you can hide the camera UI.

  • I've also had nothing but troubles with NC. I tried the AIO option and while it was easier to setup, it was still slow on both a VPS and my local unRAID server. I find that if you're simply using it as a sync point for apps instead of regularly using the web portal, it's ok. Seafile is insanely fast. But it stores the data in chunks on the server which some do not like as it can complicate backups. I work around that by just backing up from one of my always on clients since the seadrive client mounts the chunks into usable format. That works great.

    Then again, NC is way more app than I need.

  • I just built my first every dedicated Linux machine. With gaming and 3d design for printing as focus. I chose RX 6700 XT and it's been plug and play. Of course I've only been playing Starfield so far on it. I did have a bug with Steam but got that sorted.

  • As a newb, Tabby has been really nice for me to quickly open the SFTP window so I can orient myself in the file structure. It's been really great.

  • Thank you kindly! Yeah, this one has been a bear for me. Probably a bit ambitious for a relatively new self-hoster. But hey, I like to learn by doing.

  • I did their one time trial and then moved to the lowest paid tier for a month. Other than not getting ads it didn't feel much more effective than some selective search-fu with duckduckgo. Any hints or tips on making it more effective? I can see the value proposition, but couldn't justify it with the actual results I was getting.

  • Just running node as that is what the instructions mentioned. Do you have a link or something I can search for that might lead me to how I should replace one with the other?

    The diagnosis link goes nowhere for me. I double checked my DNS records on Cloudflare:

    1. A record for root domain pointing to VPS target, not proxied through CF
    2. A record for subdomain pointing to VPS target, not proxied through CF

    From my understanding I don't need any others? At least I think I read that right.

    Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site. We can't connect to the server at cryptpad.mydomain.com. If you entered the right address, you can:

    • Try again later
    • Check your network connection
    • Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)
  • Thank you! I rarely see talk about how shit their app is. I signed up somewhat recently and it's dog slow on Android or the web portal. It's just a hot mess. I'm currently testing Fastmail and the UI and performance is much better. I do understand there are some lacking privacy features with FM though, so still messing with it.

  • Hmm, it works now. But I swear I rebooted multiple times! Oh well, I'm just happy it works now. Thanks for being patient with a newb!

  • No luck. I uninstalled it via Pop Shop first, but it was still holding onto my login. So I removed it via terminal:

    sudo apt remove steam

    sudo apt purge steam

    sudo apt autoremove

    rm -rf ~/.steam

    rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam

    At this point I conffirmed the steam.desktop was removed

    sudo apt clean

    I was able to open it to logon page and sign in. But it immediately began the flash dance. steam via Terminal does work to open it, but of course if you kill that session the app closes as well.

  • Well this is frustrating.... I changed it as referenced in your other thread and it still will not work. Since this is a new computer, it was no big loss to format the drive and start with a fresh install. But this time I installed EndeavorOS, since it's not Ubuntu-based like Pop. Then installed Steam and opened it to login. Then closed it, reopened, repeatedly to see if I could replicate the issue. Nope. It works fine on EndeavorOS. Nothing against that OS in general, but Pop is a much better fit for me. So I formatted the drive once again and did a fresh install of Pop instead. I then installed the .deb package from Pop Shop and before even launching the app for the first time I edited steam.desktop and switched PrefersDedicateGPU to false. It won't launch at all now. Before it would launch once to let me login and I could even install and play games. But once I closed the app it was right back to the flashy business. Looks like I'll need to try to get some help from Valve and/or System76 on this one. So strange!
