Weird question, but what does GnuCash do that you wouldn’t get easily from excel? I haven’t used any of these apps and wondering what I’m missing out on.

For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you’d want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.

Here is a docker compose: https://snikket.org/service/resources/docker-compose.yml

You only two configuration options in the config file: domain and email.

I’ve been wanting to do this exact thing. I already have wireguard setup. Please update us if you do this.

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.

cumbersome to parse

Parsers have already existed for so long in every major language. Why need to worry about parsing?

And why need to worry about transports working differently if they achieve the same thing? They seem similarly convenient if I understood what you said correctly

Why is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.

You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?

Been using them for over a year now. I’m not a proud or loyal customer, but it’s a very generous free tier and I haven’t regretted it.

Be careful that sometimes these providers will shut you down for hosting media servers. Even if your content is not illegally obtained.

There’s 4ft.io too. Oh nvm looks like it’s gone.

I am yet to see the point of this. Does this offer anything that gitea doesn’t?

I don’t think you get anonymity with namecheap

I started using my own WireGuard config instead of using tail scale. Works great for me, though it does take more work up front.

Windows is just not ready for this stuff. Most of this stuff is built for Linux. Linux is THE server OS. And windows is painful for developers too, so there’s less solutions for it.

You’ll be a lot better off with Linux for self hosting.

I use a basic markdown editor on android called Markor. Is Logseq the same? Or is it more than that?

I think hyper-fixating on title irrespective of content is silly.

Answering myself: looks like taskwarrior is the closest thing right now. It seems moderately customizable with custom sort and atributes, and those attributes are decently first-class.

There are android clients, some are unmaintained, but theres a solid one called “foreground”. I have not tried any android clients yet, so will look into that.

yeah for real I have been thinking the same lol. sadly a feed reader is just a reader. Would not be able to comment or post, which is the main reason I will go with a self hosted instance.

Thanks for the info! what about storage capacity usage?
