Yeah I use Joplin as well it’s good but I can’t say it looks good. They could just copy the UI of some other app and it would be the best note app ever. Another thing missing is a web version that doesn’t require syncing everything to the browser storage and themes in iOS.

You could’ve just provided a link to their Github page, but no, you had to link to their official website.

Debian repositories include the dav module by default. Not sure about what’s going on with docker.

Nginx is easy to setup as WebDAV server.

The point is that if you say “Debian 9” it is immediately clear what version it is and what’s the context today as long as the person knows the stable is 12. If you say “Debian Stretch” it’s just noise, random words that mean nothing if the other person knows that stable is Bookworm.

Incrementing numbers really help me differentiate the releases…

Even better, yes.

Can we just drop the codenames and simply use the numbers? What’s the point? Those names are a fucking mess, create more confusion than help new people and add no benefit to anything.

All his files are secure and properly synced… unlike Nextcloud.

Spamassassin is useless these days, you better be using rspamd.

Get them as big as possible (wallet allows to), because you’ll get quickly annoyed at having multiple smaller drives. You’ll have to deal with more space, more cables, more power, more sata expansion, more heat etc.

Flatpak doesn’t have an “ask for permission” system afaik, at least not standardized.

Exactly, and that’s precisely the reason why it’s still not a viable solution for the average user. This a big problem and a problem of consistent and integration between Flatpak , GNOME, KDE etc.

Note that the adapter on the link does not actually use the USB protocol. It’s still PCIe sent over a USB 3.0 cable that is good enough for the job. But not actually USB, there are no signal / protocol conversions happening.

This is a decent setup if you want to leave the Mini PC intact, with the case and all because it allows you to route the PCIe to outside of the machine using a somewhat solid cable that you can run through a small hole OR the optional port slot (VGA on this machine):

The VGA card can be removed so you have a big hole to pass the “USB” cable through.

Sure, just try to get a password manager to communicate with a browser both on Flatpaks. Things like that should work, that’s what people expect, or at least should prompt the user for permission to communicate like Apple does.

They’re selling around 40-50€ here just the CPU, with motherboard and RAM for about 100€ and mini pcs with those around 150€.

They usually have M2/NVMe slots, those can be turned into SATA port easily and cheap in multiple ways:

• Add 6 SATA ports to a M2 slot for 22€ with a board like the one I linked above
• Convert the M2 slot into a full PCIe slot
• Use a riser to move the port to outside the machine, like this ribbon cable or that one that uses a USB cable

There are A LOT of ways to convert the M2/NVME slots into SATA ports, some you can get hundreds of hard drives there if you need.

In fact, I already have a mini PC (an MSI Cubi 2 with an i3-7100) that I sometimes use. I’m sure it’s fairly power-efficient, but again, it only has room for one 2.5" HDD, which limits its usefulness for a NAS setup :(

Again, that board has a M2 slot, just use it. OR you can use of this cards to expand that 1 sata port into multiple ones.

what happens if something breaks. Is there any warranty?

If you exclude the Chinese brands (including Lenovo) it is very, very unlikely that a Mini HP or Dell will break in your hands anytime soon. Some even come with extended warranties from companies that bought them and you’ll be able to ask HP for help. But frankly I wouldn’t bother with this, those machines are good hardware designed for 24h7 operation and will not break easily.

Yeah, Apple, but at the same time and unlike GNOME and Flatpak Apple actually did a decent implementation of system containers for applications that doesn’t result in barely usable applications.

Totally, but that won’t be a problem if you’re 8th+ gen right now. I’ve had experiences like you describe with a Core 2 Duo about two years ago, even SSH was taking ages to connect because the CPU lacked some modern instruction for ECDH.

Yeah, laptop CPUs are low power, after all they’re configured to run on battery with Windows. :)

Well it happens :D Happy new year!
