Also, there’s usually no reason as a user to pay monthly for a feature in a self-hosted application.
The Dev has no monthly costs for that feature. Let me buy the application/feature, and if you need money for a new feature, create a feature that is worth buying again. No need to bully the user into a monthly subscription…

Restic can do append-only when you use their rest server (easily deployed in a docker container)

I’m syncing obsidian with Drive via my Synology NAS

Basically everything where you can sync files should work.
The only downside I saw was that I had to reconfigure all clients individually (plugins, themes, template settings etc)

2 Raspberry Pi 4 with a few services running (some directly, some via docker): pihole, pialert, gitlab plantuml, munin, restic rest server, jupyter instance, airsonic-advanced. And an old synology NAS which serves as document and media server

Yep just swapped over from a self hosted solution with gitlab and sublime… But that was to restrictive and the overall experience wasnt really good…

I then found a post somewhere on lemmy a post abotu PKMS and what people are using… One was obsidian… So I tried it and I’m really happy

Edit: I saw some comments about some missing self hosting. Since the notes are saved as standard md files you easily ca sync them with whatever you want… I set it up with my synology NAS and DS Drive, but any tool which can sync two-ways should be fine

That sounds like a solvable issue for me. The upgrade health check tells you exactly what prevents you from upgrading.

My system gets flagged as not applicable as wellndue to secire boot not being active. I could resolve it by enabling it, but since I still have an old MBT Id need to switch that aswell. Which I procastinate, as I won’t get nagged to upgrade to win11

I never completely reset everything in the last few years, although I upgraded some components and did some Windows reset. The MBR never was part of it…

It somebow reminds me of the online aim-bot, wallhack etc. cheaters…

Unfortunately, A not too small amount answered no when I aked them…

Synology NAS with DS Photo and their app on my phone… And then I activate photo backup in there And to keep Connected i use a wireguard vpn

Alternatively I justt saw, that proton drive now supports photo backup… Maybe I’ll give it a spin

There are always two opinions: mine and the wrong one

Yep, got the same experience as you. Not with nvidia drivers bit my huawei laptop had a broken audio driver where only half of the speakers worked… Unless you plugges in a headphone… Then the headphone and the other half of the speakers worked… All in all, it took me at least a da to get that working

Also, still no fingerprint support…

You can do a lot with opensource and tailor it to your need, but you have to invest a lot of time… And that’s what a lot of people don’t have

It can’t bypass my network DNS if only my DNS server is allowed to send out via port 53.

It’s really fun to see how some devices are completely panicking. (I only have some chromecast music devices which do not need any internet) Anyway, I do hate that there are manufacturers who hardcode a dns into MY devices.

For the time I’m outside my network I do have a VPN which allows me to acces my pi-hole from outside (I never felt that the speed or latency is especially low)

There are even routers which allow you to re-route specific ports to specific devices. So, even if the device wants 8.8.8.8 the firewall would reroute it to my dns server

If you want a privacy friendly option that works from in/and outside your network without all the hassle above I can also recommend proton VPN which also procides tracker and ad blocking.

Yep that would be a good alternative…I don’t have an official domain for it, so I went the self-signed way

Which enables me to provide tls/https for all my local services. And it was a fun experience to learn

Jep I hate the, “you don’t own anything anymore” mentality… There are some valid reasons to actually provide a subscription, but most of the times it should just be a one time payment

I once had a valid office key… But since I reset my computer to often the amount of “free activations” was used up… There where so many hoops to jump through to re-activate it that it was easier to get a cracked key to activate my office version… That’s just sick

Not the one who wrote initially, but i have the same setup (mostly).
I went with a self signed certificate. So the server is running with a certificate i have signed with my own certification authority certificate (ca-cert) .
That means I have to install the ca-cert on all devices to get vaultwarden to accept it.

The alternative is a let’s encrypt cerrtificate, which are free, but you need to open port 80 (and another one if I remember correctly) for it to work (at least every 3 months)

And even better: wireguard configs as well

It still might help if you point it out to the orginsator… Especially if you makebit clear to them that their copyrighted slides, etc. will be part of that aswell

Proton VPN does have tracking and ad blocking integrated, not sure how good it workes as i usually use my pihole

Ibrun my own gitlab instance where i have a repository with all my configs, scripts etc.
As well as a wiki that contains the admin guide with (hopefully) all the relevant infos in form of text and PlantUML graphs.

The nice thing is… You can just ‘code’ the diagrams and use a PlantUML instance to render the graphs live
