Paperless-ngx, Firefly III, and n8n are all awesome tools. However, I think connecting Paperless to Firefly via n8n will be very difficult to grab the correct date and amount. What if there is no receipt or the receipt is sent via email? Also, Paperless sometimes gets the wrong date for me, such as when there are multiple dates or the print isn’t clear.

If you’re using a card to pay, I recommend downloading .qfx files from your bank and uploading those to Firefly instead.

I do this too plus block all IPs via firewall except my work and home IP addresses.

I have this issue with my Hisense TV. I just want to use Jellyfin and it works offline… for a while. After several days without internet, it wants to reconnect to use any apps.

I switched from Nextcloud Memories to Immich when Immich added support for external libraries. From what I remember, Memories was pretty good but a bit slower, not as polished, and had significantly worse AI tools. I recommend Immich.

For CAD, I really like Onshape. It’s free for personal use and runs in a web browser but is not open-source. I’ve used Creo and SolidWorks before and, IMO, Onshape blows them out of the water for being intuitive and feature complete. But again, web-based and closed source.

Any to-do app that supports recurrence with:

• the next due date based on completion date for things like mowing the lawn, replacing filters, etc.
• annual due dates for things like a spring check-up

I use Vikunja, but I think Donetick would be perfect for your use case! It has a log of task completions and fulfills both bullets above.

Do you use Home Assistant? If so, any Z-Wave lock will be privacy-respecting. I’ve only used the Schlage Connect, but it was very reliable. I could change the codes remotely using Z-Wave JS UI.

But compared to Google and not owning your data? It’s SO much better, not that it’s really a fair comparison.

Sorry your experience has been so bad. I’m using the LinuxServer.io version. I’ve had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it’s sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.

Nextcloud is awesome, you should definitely still use it. It’s really big and has its issues when upgrading, but it’s still one of—if not the—best for file sync and share.

Easy Docker solutions:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/nextcloud/all-in-one
• https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-nextcloud/

My two cents: try it yourself but don’t start using their app store until you’ve gotten a better feel for things. They have some great app store apps, but it makes you dependent on Nextcloud.

Have you considered Kanban apps? All of them should support A+C. I’ve used Wekan and Kanboard. Hope this helps your searching!

I haven’t used Speech Note, but I have been using Whisper with great success. I run it via Docker.

Caddy has this feature built-in. It looks nice too.

There’s also File Browser.

Agree, highly recommend this and/or Tailscale.

Great list! If you already have the Raspberry Pi devices, great. If you were going to buy some, I would look at thin clients instead. Low-power, cheaper, more powerful, can use real hard drives instead of SD cards or adapters, and x86 instead of ARM. I have an HP T630 I like but I hear good things about the Dell Wyse 5070 too.

Agreed. Also, censoring is a lot of work! Sure, some stuff is extreme such as racism, sexism, etc. that most reasonable people would agree should be censored. But where do you draw the line? Choosing to censor means defining what is allowable and someone will always disagree with where the line is drawn. I sympathize with community moderators (or lack thereof).

For me at least, choosing not to censor and endorsing something are completely separate.
