Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, ..), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions

I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet

My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful

I installed k-9 mail / Thunderbird on my android phone and set it to sync all emails, so I have local copy on my phone

I also have internal only traffic, but I still use let's encrypt. I self signed for a couple of years, but switching to proper certificates made things much simpler and better. Especially on mobile.

I use a combination of my own domain and caddy. and duckdns, since my domain registrar does not have an api caddy can use, but I can point my domain to my duckdns domain and it works 👍

I too use miniflux and I like it

My thoughts too, what makes this alloy so amazing? It seems to me that sapphire is harder, and otherwise similar use cases

No mention/comparison to Sapphire in the article that I could see, disappointing.

Maybe it is the sintering process that makes it interesting, could be easier to shape maybe 🤔

This is what I do, using proxmox.

I do something similar to https://youtu.be/Hu3t8pcq8O0 for the NAS bit. Then I have a VM with docker containers for different services

I use debian now for the first time in years. But the new version just released, so we'll see how long it lasts

I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page

I'm trying it out now 🙂 I didn't know about this one, thanks!

I miss the swipe to mark as read. Otherwise it looks nice, I'll try it for a few days!

I play nonograms katana when I'm on airplanes. Could fit your situation as well. the smaller ones take less than 5 minutes to complete

For me, it makes the clients disposable. I can reinstall the laptop, desktop, phone and be up and running in no time, without doing backups and preparation. Also it is easy to jump between clients.

The server needs to be backed up though

I would recommend using one of the distros backed by a big company or have very long track records. They are less likely to break on updates, and have a higher chance of supporting any uncommon hardware you may have.

  • Fedora
  • Ubuntu
  • Mint
  • Pop OS

If you have new hardware (e.g. GPU newer than 6 months) you will probably have issues. Follow the recommendations from the hardware supplier, or use something arch based. I used Manjaro a while when I got new hardware.

Besides those tips, you should decide which desktop environment you like best. I prefer gnome, as I enjoy to spend time in apps and not on in settings. Others prefer customization. Have a look at https://youtu.be/09cYQJBgKEs?si=KX8FZeMRcMlPTzG2
