This is not an all or nothing situation, people can criticise this for what it is, even if they’re using any of the products/companies mentioned by you. Navigating a tech-fascist ecosystem is difficult and every criticism here is valid and important.

(Not using any of the aforementioned products/companies btw)

Widget-wise Markor falls short unfortunately, only a general widget and one for todos, not for individual notes, I’m afraid…

I do this with “Markor”, great notes app for txt and md files. All files locally and synced via Syncthing. Been using this for years, love it.

Which distro? Debian for example always keeps two kernels: the curent one and the one in use before that, which is what I prefer, never had to rely on more than one backup kernel.

Thank you!

Which one exactly? There seem to be at least five different ones…

yeah, it really sucks to spring this upon as like this… I had to change UID/GID of a user too because of that, really annoying.

It’s more than that, you have to make sure a certain directory is owned by the “node” user and it has to have uid 1000. That’s a small but very important step in said migration guide, which I overlooked initially. Nothing happened though, container wouldn’t start and its logs kept pointing to this directory, then I saw it in the docs.

I see. For this scenario, I have another Syncthing server, which is on 24/7, responsible for offsite backups.

Ad encrypted files: true, but why expose them to a potential adversary? If there should be a flaw in the encryption (now or future) the other party already has access to the file.

Why would you do that? Just sync thr database with Syncthing and keep it locally on your devices. I’d never put my pw dB in a publicly available cloud online, even though it’s encrypted.

I just bought one used (Gen1) for 450 EUR, I’d consider that cheap for this kind of hardware.

Alternatively look for Thinkpad X13 (Ryzen), slightly bigger, great hardware and value.

Thinkpad X1 Nano. Great specs, approx. 920 grams, super lightweight. Decent CPU and RAM (I did some light video editing on mine and it’s great), and a 2k screen (13 inch).

I’m using Debian on mine, works out of the box (like all Thinkpads, in my experience).

In the advanced options of syncthing (web GUI) you can turn off deletions for every sync folder respectively.

I monitor everything with xymon, I get emails when there’s a problem. Works like a charm.

Had to read it twice to understand what they WANTED to say

Maybe “kdeconnect”? It can do that any much more.

Nginx in front of it, open ports for https (and ssh), nothing more. Let’s encrypt certificate and you’re good to go.
