Firefox because I like the UI and I think chrome has gotten too dominant.

Brave if I need to chromecast something

I am not thinking of the most recent versions.

The query system was updated, around version 0.6 if i remember correctly. I don't think the updates were bad, but some things broke and I am too old for "bleeding edge". The template system was also updated at some point

I don't have a great solution. I use syncthing to keep notes local on all devices and MarkText on desktop and Zettel Notes on android.

what i really liked about silverbullet was that it had offline support. but there were made some changes there as well along the way, and for me it became less stable after it became optional. But I haven't actively used it for some time. I still got an instance running tho

How do you like the newer versions? I liked it in the beginning, but then there were breaking changes and new concepts and it started to feel a bit too complicated. So I am taking a break until things cool down

I don't use multiple users or ldap, but miniflux supports many users. And based on this pull request it seems to have the necessary interface for ldap?

I enjoy and recommend miniflux for rss reading. I have used it for a long time now together with flux news android app. I also use save integration with wallabag sometimes.

I use proxmox and proxmox backup server (in a vm). I reinstall them both, and re-add lxc and vm and their drives from backup. has already worked once.

important files are additionaly synced to laptop and phone using syncthing.

proxmox backups (which are encrypted) are rcloned to backblaze for offsite backup

dovecot provides a proper shared imap server. But not all email clients allow moving emails between accounts (gmail and local email server), but Thunderbird does.

I can access the emails from any client

Not sure if it fits you, but personally I have set up a self hosted dovecot instance where i have moved old gmail emails to, using thunderbird as the client.

I have used kvaesitso for a long time now, stopped my launcher-jumping.

I use syncthing to copy important files between pc, phone and proxmox server. Syncthing can be set up with version control so it keeps old versions of files.

Only the proxmox server is properly backed up though. to a proxmox backup server running in a VM on said proxmox server. the encryptred backup files are copied to backblaze using rclone

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it works for me.

TLDR syncthing for copies between local machines, and proxmox backup server and backblaze for proper backups

You could take a look at one of the universal blue distros next time you want to try some linux https://universal-blue.org/

I use bazzite on my gaming pc and bluefin on my laptop. It is immutable linux, but the devs made the defaults really nice (for me at least)

I use miniflux. To read the feed I use Flux News on android. I don't read the whole feed in the reader, but open the link

I think miniflux supports downloading the source, but I had to do it manually each time when I tried

I have used them since januar 2019, and I don't have any complaints. I have only needed to restore backups once - it worked as well as could be expected.

Any issues with backups have always been on my side
