With those rims and tires, and in that location, I can assure you that thing isn't for work.

NAT is not a security feature.

Tell your friend that Lidarr can connect to Spotify to get your followed artists, playlists and saved albums.

No, that was a dress, that came later.

Not OP, but I've been running TW for... 5-ush years now, I think, and it's been great. Even when I still had Nvidia hardware and sometimes ran into a kernel being too new or whatever it was that made the Nvidia driver shit the bed: roll back to the previous snapshot, wait for a couple of days. Apart from that it's been pretty much rock solid.

The only thing I might switch to, is Kalpa.

Sucked when you fell off, though.

14-year club represent.

The green wooden paneling is a dead giveaway, that's a fairly Zaanstreek thing.

they have to rid themselves of third-party clients so that the app store numbers can't be extrapolated to verify site-wide user activity.

I must be having a pre-morning-coffee dumb, but how would this extrapolation realistically work, in your opinion? Those install numbers aren't exactly... exact, from what I understand.

Not sure about the water-proof-ness, but actually a pinetime might tick most of those boxes. I'm happy with mine.

I've broken my winning streak, and found my way back into Eve Online again. This time I'm in Faction Warfare, which actually seems like fun, and not an eternal blobfest all over the place.

Kbin can do Microblogs, but I'm not sure what you mean with "alternative to chronological feed"?

Enjoy that free time you regained? 😉

I've used Rockstor in the past, I liked it mostly (but in the end went with a self-configured OpenSUSE system).

Apart from that, I hear good things about OMV and TrueNAS

I've been rocking mine for close to two years now, and it just keeps getting better.

Maybe not so much "can afford", but "are willing to".

For all we know OP was living in abject poverty while taking care of their mum, but still making that choice. In that scenario, they couldn't afford, but still did.

Shit, completely missed that, can someone add a red circle please.

It absolutely is. Yet, as Sean said, it's also yet another bit of software to run and maintain, and ES is known to be a bit of an effort to keep going well.

Admins having only finite amounts of time and/or resources, might make the very understandable decision to leave it out.

Good luck running your own mail server these days, and getting your messages actually delivered to Gmail and Outlook/O365 mailboxes. It's possible, but a hassle, and the rug can get pulled at any moment.

I'm currently giving Karousel a go, seems like a decent step between a full on tiling wm (which isn't for me, really) and a stacking one.

Funny, that, didn't work for me on ff/Android.

Edit: on reload, it suddenly did. 🤷‍♂️

Eh, my gen8 is chugging happily along with Nextcloud, Synapse, Jellyfin and friends, docker-mailserver, a GoToSocial instance, Home Assistant in a VM, and so on. I don't know what else is running on your server (and, admittedly, I've added some RAM and stuck in a somewhat beefier Xeon CPU), but it should have no problems running a web app like Nextcloud, especially if you stay away from the more intensive stuff like office apps.

That aside, I've gone through a fair amount of note taking apps, and so far I like Joplin best, too bad it doesn't seem to work out for you. Not sure when you last checked out the Android app, but I do know there's been some changes in the editor it uses recently-ish, it might be worth it to check again.

These tips are all solid, and reflect my setup. Database (MariaDB) and PHP files on the SSD, data storage on spinny bois. Don't underestimate the importance of a recent enough version of PHP, OpCache, enabled, and so on.

There's a whole chapter on performance tuning in the manual, and the "Security & setup warnings" part of the administration settings should point out some configuration issues, when it finds them.

My setup might actually take a (smallish) performance hit because I use btrfs for all my filesystems. Just don't get roped into the whole "wsl on Windows" thing, that's just not going to work out, it's a kludge that MS offers to not bleed users to Linux too much, but it's certainly not meant for server workloads.

The hardware should not be the bottleneck at all, the 1265 in OPs machine should not be significantly slower than the 1280 in mine.
