I used duckdns for years without any issues at all. Only reason I switched is because I’m using Pangolin and tunneling instead of exposing my IP directly.

Sorry, typo. It’s Play:sub

Unfortunately, yes

Android or iOS?

On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, play:sub was the best experience I found

This looks awesome. I’m going to check it out.

Absolutely. There are different options.

If you want something simple, just contacts and calendar, check out Radicale. I’ve been running radicals for years and its great.

If you want something more like a whole google suite replacement (contacts, calendar, drive, docs, photos, etc), look at Nextcloud

I’ve been using Ubuntu server on my server for close to a decade now and it has been just rock solid.

I know Ubuntu gets (deserved) hate for things like snaps shenanigans, but the LTS is pretty great. Not having to worry about a full OS upgrade for up to 10 years (5 years standard, 10 years if you go Ubuntu pro (which is free for personal use)) is great.

A couple times I’ve considered switching my server to another distro, but honestly, I love how little I worry about the state of my server os.

BBSes are back!

Ytdlp works with Spotify too iirc, and there are Spotify downloaders out there too.

Here it is.

List of Who Not to Avoid:

I self host vaultwarden and its great. Its an easy self host, and in my experience, it has never gone down on me.

That being said, my experience is anecdotal. If you do go the vaultwarden route, realize that your vault is still accessible on your devices (phone, whatever) even if your server goes down, or if you just lose network connectivity. They hold local (encrypted at rest) copies of your vault that are periodically updated.

Additionally, regardless of the route you take you should absolutely be practicing a good 3-2-1 backup strategy with your password vault, as with any other data you value.

Karakeep might work for you

Rsync and NFS for me.

Totally fair.

Another great option is Yourls. I’ve been using it for years and it’s been fabulous

Check out OliveTin. I use it in a similar fashion to track when I take my daily meds and for other personal health tracking.

It’s a simple webapp that fires off shell scripts on your server. I store my data as CSV, but you can tailor the scripts to store and retrieve/present your data however you’d like.

Edit 2: adding that I host this on a Raspberry pi zero w. It’s ultra cheap. It’s only accessible on my lan by choice. I use a wireguard tunnel on my stupid cheap (~$1.50/month) vps to access it remotely.

Edit 1: fix link formatting

Careful with that you though. I thought the same thing but someone pointed out in another thread that depending on your system, it may update the firmware over USB when you do system updates.

Glad I’ve got an Brother laser that has no network connectivity.

Is this law broad enough to also catch up Proton and its services?

This attack by governments on encryption is getting more and more concerning.
