Have a look at YUNOhost for your OS. It’s based on Debian and is designed to be really easy to set up and use, which might be useful for you as you have young children and not much time.

Ah OK that’s a shame.

I haven’t even looked at port forwarding. I think maybe some ISPs in some countries might block traffic this way but others will know better. Everything just works with Mullvad on Fedora with Qbittorrent, so I’m happy.

I’ve seen this being recommended for audio production but was put off disabling it because I didn’t understand what it was. I’d like the performance gain though.

Has anyone else here disabled it?

I think Cherrytree is my most important app. It’s primarily for making hierarchical lists but you can hyperlink between nodes and to external files and URLs and you can insert files, images and tables. I pretty much use it for organising my entire life and archiving important files, links and documents. The database is a single file (which you can have encrypted), so it’s super portable and you can sync it between devices. You can easily theme it yourself too (the default theme/icons looks quite old school).

I also love GIMP 3.0

Pretty ironic considering they don’t play any sports of their own.

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.

I love that meme.

Do what you gotta do buddy

Lol

This an impossible choice, so I’ll take two: Ernie & Bert :)

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

Thanks for being a moderator :)

Make sure you get open-pollinated varieties, so that you can save your own seed. I have vegetables growing in my garden that are now 7/8 generations away from the original seed I bought. Saving your own seed means that the plants can adapt to your local conditions too and because you let them flower they also benefit other creatures in your garden.

Seed-saving is massively Solarpunk.

For the price of a cheap VPS and a couple of hours setup you could run YUNOhost, which comes with email set up out of the box. It integrates perfectly with Thunderbird on desktop and android and you can install other cool stuff on it as well.

Installation is a bit more involved than signing up with a commercial email provider but I thought I’d mention it. I had no previous experience of server admin and was able to get it set up and my server is still going strong after nearly three years.

Check out Cherrytree. I use it for keeping track of literally everything in my life. It’s hierarchical and searchable and you can insert files as well as hyperlink to external files, URLS and other nodes internally. You can export the database in various formats and there is also the option to have it encrypted. You can theme it in the preferences to make it look nicer too (the default is a bit retro-looking). It’s free and open source and AFAIK you can open your database in other applications, so you’re not locked into it.

If you want to sync it across devices just use Syncthing or whatever file sync app you’re selfhosting.

I highly recommend it! Probably the most important application I have on my computer.

If he keeps paying creditors back with interest then he will be regarded as a big walking cash machine.

People with an appetite for maintaining large long-term debt are ideal customers for them.

I installed Jitsi Meet on my YUNOhost server and am very impressed. It works really well and needed basically no setting up after installing.

Would it work to selfhost a Peertube instance?
