Recommend eReader for a self-hosted Kavita server?
  • Not really - It depends on how you prefer the form factor. I liked the side handle of the kindle oasis, so I went with a Libra 2 during their holiday sales last year. If you like the normal form factor, then the Clara 2e/Nia is probably what you want (or an older model).

    You can't sideload audiobooks, so don't use that as a deciding feature of which one you pick up.

  • Its even better with a Kobo, because you can set it up as a Sync server and "replace the Kobo Store" with your Calibre server. It makes it so any book you have on your server will appear like something youve purchased from the Kobo Store, and let you download it from the server to device, directly from your Kobo

  • What features would you look for in a selfhosted Journal?

    After multiple years of wishing someone else would make a selfhosted journal (since I don't want to pay a company a subscription to take all of my most intimate and personal thoughts, habits, and data), I finally decided to tackle my ignorance of Frontend Development and started building a selfhosted journaling application. Originally, it started out as wanting to track my sleep and habits related to try and figure out in a data-driven manner as to why I slept great some nights and why I didn't on others, but has evolved a bit from there.

    Current features I have include:

    • Encrypted entries within the Database
    • Multiple Users
    • Light mode/Dark mode
    • Daily Journaling with a 'unique' two-dimensional take on logging daily sentiment
    • Hierarchical tagging tools for Entries
    • Sleep Journaling to track sleep quality, duration, energy, and time spent awake (yay, insomnia)
    • A Filterable Timeline view to see all of your past entries on one page

    Things Im still working on:

    • CSS Styling
    • Customizable Themes
    • UX Design for some key points (adding tags, settings/options, user creation)

    Things I plan to add:

    • Habit Tracking (but with 'scalar' tracking instead of simple Y/N tracking since that doesn't work with my brain)
    • Importing of sleep/health data from an Apple Watch
    • Importing from different apps (Such as Daylio/LunaTask)
    • Templating
    • Gratitude Journaling/Other Journal Types
    • Graphs and Stats that actually use all of the data you've stored
    • Reactive UX
      • This one will be a long work in progress, most likely. I am using VUE, so it's definitely possible, however I have gone into this with a desktop design, and would need to completely redesign/work with someone who can help teach me how to do reactive frontend design with Vue

    Things I am debating:

    • Editing past entries.

      • I feel like a Journal should be a state of the past, and therefore shouldn't be edited once it's been created. I know people will likely want to edit entries, but I think it goes against the purpose of a journal
    • Images in Entries

      • I don't personally have a need/desire for adding images to my entries, but I know that n=1 in this realm. Just curious if other people actually do this, or if having the private text sanctum is most important in a journal.

    ----

    Some initial UX pics:

    Journal Entry Page

    Daily Journal Entry Timeline

    Sleep Journal Entry Timeline

    Just hoping to get some ideas of key things I may have missed that would be fit for a journaling application :)

    What is currently a good game server panel.
  • Ive used an loved AMP for years, and never had issues. Trying to find information can be a bit of a pain sometimes because of their forum, but I found it super easy to get set up and working. I have a network of 4 Minecraft servers running behind a Velocity Proxy, as well as a Modded MC server going + 9 other game servers that Ive set up in AMP and rotate through (Factorio, Core Keeper, Valheim, Satisfactory, Project Zomboid, and others)

    Self Hosted Finance/Budgeting App
  • Actual does all of that. (at least, I believe it does #2, but I think budgeting should be a manual process anyways)

    Firefly III is okay, but it doesn't follow Envelope Budgeting, and if you are used to YNAB, then Actual is basically a drop in replacement. It even has a YNAB4 importer

    What VPN provider do you use?
  • Since Mullvad got rid of Port Forwarding, I use TorGuard for checking out LinuxISOs

    But I still use Mullvad on my pc/phone, since its the best
