  • I used to be a leacher, even when I had a broadband connection. I never really knew why seeding was important. Now, I try to match the data I have uploaded, at least, if not more. Like, of I download a 50gb of something. I seed at least 50gb before I remove it.

  • You can use Bookstack.

    A lot of people/companies use it as wiki, but it can also be used a journal. It can also have multiple users with some shared books or pages if you need. You can use markdown or WYSIWYG editor. A lot of exporting formats are available.

  • That conversion isn't accurate at all, at least in the cities I have been. I used to trust OSM a lot, but it led me to wrong places a few times. I use Organic Maps, which is based on OSM, for general navigation, but I have to rely on Google Maps for finding precise locations. I use web interface only, for google maps, but OSM can be a pain in the butt, especially if others are dependent on me navigating them.

  • Jitsi Meet can be self-hosted. The data will go through your server, but end-to-end encryption can be used.

    Another option is Wirow. Again, data goes through the servers.

    I do not think if there are any peer-to-peer video chat applications. If there were, why would there be a need for self-hosting a server?

  • Can you tell what do the values after / denote? Like /8, /24.

    I have seen them in many places. I even use /8 in my Wireguard config. But I do not know what it is. I do not even know its name to look it up online.

  • Host a Wordpress instance on a privacy respecting VPS like Najal.la, or even Hetzner is great. Just change the settings to remove Gravatar integration and do not use Google Fonts. There are a lot of plugins and themes that you can install, but many come with third-party scripts and/or trackers. So, make sure you keep an eye out for what you are installing.

  • Tailscale will create a personal VPN. So, only those devices where you are logged in with you Tailscale account can access that service.

    For example, if I host a password manager behind Tailscale, only my laptop and phone can access it, where I am logged in to my Tailscale account and am connected to my VPN.

    However, Tailscale's backend is not open-source. They may not log all the data passed through, but they certainly can look at it. Use it only if you trust them. You can look into Headscale. It is an open source implementation of Tailscsle's back end, which works with Tailscale's apps.

    Tailscale is very convenient, and is as secure as WireGuard protocol is.

  • Thank you for your response. Just one more question... If I am not forwarding any ports, will I be able to generate and renew certificates on my home server? As far as I know, the domain needs to point to the IP which is generating the certificates, right?

  • Mind sharing what were your issues with Joplin?

    My only issue is that it does not have any widgets on Android. So, I use Nextcloud Notes when I need that. But Joplin is actually great. You can self host a joplin server or sync using a Nextcloud server. It supports advanced markdown and I like the UI as well.

    You can try Bookstack, but it will work on a web browser only. Another option is Obsidian, but I think only the apps are FOSS, the backend is not.
