    If you’re using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.

    Actual budget, grist, lubelogger (if you own a vehicle). Maybe fittrackee if you do sports.

    And silverbullet, indeed radicale to get rid of google contacts and calendar.

    And stirlingpdf is also great…

      I read about silverbullet a few times now. What is your experience with it? It looks very nice but I switch note taking apps so often I don’t have time to use any of them properly.

        Its nice and pretty nerdy. As web based nmarkdown editor in pretty good and the extra features rocks.

        It has a few quirks I don’t like though, on the self-hosted side:

        • no multi-user support.
        • auth is quirky and required a ticket to make it work at all
        • must be deployed on subdomain, which make it impossible to host multiple instances for multiple users easily

        But from functionality point of view, I love it

        Why even worry about that? Solve for things you need solved for. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing for their own reasons. You’ll drive yourself crazy.

        These are tools, not a lifestyle. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.

          100%. When it comes to self-hosting, or anything really, be a minimalist. For your sake, and for the sake of whoever might need to maintain things when you’ve leave this earth.

            Eh, there’s something to be said for experimental periods in my view. Sometimes you try out new programs that you wouldn’t think would be useful but end up becoming essential. And then culling mercilessly anything that turns out to be not useful, or overly complex to maintain, reducing your maintenance burden.

              For sure, if the need calls for it, that works well.

              But looking for random things to install and maintain without an actual need creates so many issues.
