As a lemmy client, I would add Eternity (APGL-3.0).

For latex documents I would highly recommend Overleaf (APGL-3.0). You can selfhost it on an old PC or raspberry pi and have crossplatform access on all your devices

A better alternative to F-Droid would be Neo Store (GPL-3.0) which has a more modern design and is less broken in general.

For apps that are only available as github releases (e.g. hypeBard) I would recommend obtainium (GPL-3.0) which automates the update process.

My personal preference for calculator apps is NCalcLibre (GPL-3.0) which has a slightly different set of features than your suggestion but has a more structured UI imo.

Text Tools Pro (Apache-2.0) is another awesome tool that can improve your typing experience dramatically.

If you have a degoogled device you might want to install FMD (GPL-3.0) in case you lose it.

For rooted devices, I would also add BCR (GPL-3.0) + BCR-GUI (GPL-3.0) to keep a record of important calls.

Another app that is especially useful on rooted devices is AdAway (GPL-3.0) which is a system-wide ad blocker that doesn’t require any resources.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but you could use a website archiving solution to store one of those online man-page collections. I know it sounds like overkill, but it’s actually easy to setup and can be used for all kinds of other things as well. For instance, I have a local docker container running SOSSE for C++ and Python references and for all kind of libraries and APIs I use for software development. This way I have everything I need on my laptop and can work anywhere, even if there is no network connection.

Anki is absolutely awesome. Since there is a large amount of community made decks, I found one that was specifically made for the book I used for learning Japanese. In addition to that, I also found a free Japanese-English dictionary app that had the option to add words as flashcards to a specified Anki deck. Even though it doesn’t have the most modern looking or intuitive UI, Anki is my main tool for learning Japanese because there are so many useful integrations and a large community behind it, and it is completely free.

I think every school in the USA needs a geostationary satellite with a high-powered laser so that any school shooter can be vaporized at the speed of light. Without high-precision orbital strike capability, the USA won’t be able to solve their gun problem… I mean, what else could you possibly do to combat gun violence… 🤔

Hmm… so thats why they say, Apple is a religion 🤔

Nextcloud AIO is just a link (just the local IP+port) to the maintenance interface of my NC installation. The officially supported docker image of Nextcloud (link here) has a built-in maintenance interface which allows you to update the installation and all dependencies.

Because Nextcloud is more complicated to maintain (especially when you have a lot of apps installed), I have split all that functionality across multiple smaller services. Baikal, WebDAV, Vaultwarden and Freshrss are technically not needed if I use Nextcloud apps, but all of those services are easily configurable as docker containers and if one of them fails, none of the others are affected. If I use Nextcloud for everything and treat it as a monolithic service, I would lose all functionality if the service fails. Because of that, I only use Nextcloud’s core functionality, which is syncing files across devices and automatically uploading all the pictures I take with my phone. For everything else, I have a dedicated service that is easier to set up and maintain.

Despite the name, audiobookshelf recently also added e-book support. It is still in development but (at least for me) is at a point where I’ve abandoned kavita and am now using it for both my audio, and e-books.

I can’t wait to learn more about the GPU. I really hope it’ll be able to run CUDA.

Hopefully, they fix their camera API so that GCam works properly this time. Being stuck with the stock photo app was the only downside of version 4 imo.

I’ve heard that a lot of people have trouble with updating and maintaining nextcloud but I personally never had those issues and my instance is running for over 5 years now. I would agree with other people here, that something like docker makes everything easier if you want to selfhost. I personally followed this guide with a custom dockerfile that looks something like this. Once you have a functional docker image and a docker-compose file, updating your instance is as easy as typing:

docker compose stop
docker compose rm -f
docker compose build --pull
docker compose up -d

If you chose to go down that route as well, you might want to change the config files in your docker image since some of the values might not suit your instance. I, for example, have added the following for the PHP config:

RUN sed -i "s/\(opcache\.interned_strings_buffer*=*\).*/\148/" /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/opcache-recommended.ini
RUN sed -i "s/\(opcache\.memory_consumption*=*\).*/\1256/" /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/opcache-recommended.ini
