  • I too would like to know. I use the app Due on iOS. And it is nice and not a sub (though after 1 year you technically need to buy it again IF you want features that released into the app after 1 year of your purchase. It’s also iOS only and doesn’t let others force a notification on you. But if they have the app they can create a notification and text you a custom link to auto add that notification to your app. For anyone reading who is on iOS and wants something like this. due is really cool. Notifications but with a lot of customization. Most important feature is that you can use critical alerts. So like an alarm it can override silence mode or focuses to notify you every X minute until you snooze or dismiss. Can also disable snooze but then I find my self dismissing without actually doing it.

    Either way a platform agnostic proper notification system sounds right up my alley. Just googling around I found Apprise and Mind might look into that later (don’t know nearly enough to say if it’s a viable alternative to Galarm or Due but seems extensive and lightweight.





  • RAID is something I haven’t learned yet but really should.

    My server has 4 4TB hard drives. Sounds like I could do RAID10 and only have 4TB of storage. Or RAID5 and 8TB?

    Right now I have no raid. 1/4 of my hard drives has about 700GB of data and is movie and shows. 2/4 hard drive has 91GB and is photos and cloud data. 3/4 is blank and 4/4 is borg backups from my desktop and server and second hard drive currently at 120GB. My media drive has no backups right now and is not really being used.

    It sounds like I could put all of my data on hard drive 1 which will only be about 1TB and then have RAID so that data is secure.

    I would like having 8TB storage with raid 5. But maybe raid 10 is smarter and if I want more storage I’ll have to get more drives.









  • Oh cool. I am using KitchenOwl and someone else on this post suggested a few recipe managers. I’ll definitely check out clementines (if I get it working haha)

    For memos I never realized it doesn’t work offline. Thankfully it’s rare I am offline but that does worry me that when it does happen I won’t have access to my notes. I’ll definitely take a look at silver bullet!

    Version control of docker compose files why the heck didn’t I think of that before lol. Would have helped me more than a few times. Going to get that setup as well.

    Makes sense. I think I did use sync thing years ago when I was on android. Thankfully the only issues I’ve had with Nextcloud have been user error.


  • I haven’t got deep into using both yet but from what I’ve seen so far they are very different.

    Actual is basically YNAB so if you’ve used that before you’ll be familiar with it. I am a current subscriber to YNAB and considering fully switching over to Actual.

    Firefly iii is like an accounting program to manage all your finances and less about budget categories and giving every dollar a job. I personally don’t see my self using this much.

    I am using KitchenOwl right now for recipe management. I haven’t gotten deep into it yet and I am intrigued to try something different. There was another one I was looking at that hadn’t been updated in a while so I just settled on KitchenOwl I’ll check those others out ! Which one is your preference?
