You can already selfhost.

I used syncthing for a while. Then tried github with mostly terrible results. Now i’m back on syncthing. It involves a little bit of setup, but i mostly forget about it now. It just works.

I use an Amazfit GTR 2e, and it works almost perfectly with gadgetbridge. The only difficulty I have is i’m unable to manually update A-GPS data, so getting a GPS lock can take a while. But I don’t use it a lot, and honestly, the Fitbit Versa I came from wasn’t all that much better.

If I only read on my phone, I’d use Librera. But for syncing between my Onyx Boox device and my phone, KOReader is hard to beat.

My laptops and RPis aren’t named anything interesting. My server is named Lyla though. I let my youngest kid pick the name.

Thanks for suggesting mosh! I use termux a lot for ssh, and mosh looks like it will fix some of my biggest issues with it. Mainly losing connection when switching networks.

I got this same email. Of course the only domains I own are .com and .xyz. Going to lock in as many years as I can before September.

I have the app, but haven’t really used it much. I put most things into my linkding instance and forget about it. Lol.

Maybe I should start with Omnivore first to keep from clogging up my bookmarks.

I’ve been selfhosting for almost a year, and I’m still on the lookout for anything I can host.

I’ve reached a point where if I don’t have a use for something, i’ll still try to make an unraid template if there isn’t one. Just to install it and try it out. Lol

I want that router, but I don’t have a good reason to give my wife why our RB4011 needs to be upgraded…lol

Extremely simple! It’s literally just a few screws and unplug the old one and put in the new. Took all of 10 minutes and at least half of that was trying to find my small screwdriver bits. Lol

My use case sounds similar to yours, so I’d second the T480. I got one 7-8 months ago, and it’s been great so far. Only thing I changed was I put in a backlit keyboard.

I don’t know any general laptop communities. At leasr not ones with any activity, but !thinkpad@lemmy.ml seems relatively active.

If you ever need to find a community, https://lemmyverse.net/communities is a decent place to start.

I’ve got a Mikrotik RB4011, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It definitely has a learning curve, but once I got it setup how I want, it just works. I’m sure some other options have the same feature, but one of my favorite things is a script I have run every night that emails me a backup.

I’ve only ever had to use it a few times, but having a recent backup of my router on hand all the time is nice.

This is the exact setup I use and it works great!

Yes, I haven’t come across any apps so far that didn’t work. Performance is an issue with some apps, but nothing major.

I have the Leaf 2 and like it a lot. Can be a little slow sometimes, but nothing worse than any other ereader I’ve used.

Welcome back! I dabbled here and there with linux, but never got fully on board until a year or two ago.

Started by dual booting Manjaro, but had some issues with it. Moved to Arch (btw), and now my kids have the dual boot system and my daily driver is a pre-owned Thinkpad with no windows partition.

Photos are one of the few things I don’t entirely self-host yet. I host Immich, but I also proxy through an original Pixel, so I have unlimited Google Photos storage. It’s hard to give that up. I assume Google will make the decision for me eventually though.

I’ve been meaning to figure out the best/most affordable off-site backup, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Those are the two I switch between too. I slightly prefer homepage, but you can’t go wrong with either one.
