It’s not the exact same (a 1:1 replacement) but have you looked at Logseq as an alternative to Obsidian. It is open source and serves a lot of the same needs as a wiki-style editor, but may not be exactly what you need in Obsidian

There are dozens of us! But yeah, same.

I just discovered bat and eza, which were already installed, along with fd though I haven’t played with that one yet. I’ve really liked the first two at least

Welcome to distro hopping! If at some point in the future you want to try another out but don’t want to start from scratch, there are ways to demo them to get a feel and see if it’s something you’d like to take the effort to wipe and install.

And as someone who never closes tabs, I love their tab management, from organization to memory.

Yeah, I’m more or less just using NC for a cloud storage with WebDAV. I don’t really need all the other bits. So if NC were modular in that you could install or not the core pieces, that would be great.

If it makes you feel any better it sort of is Fedora. Fedora has both original and atomic flavors. Someone took the atomic flavor of Fedora (which comes as a blank slate) and added in some quality of life changes. Nothing permanent, just tweaking some settings and preinstalling some programs. And then called it as Aurora.

And the only difference between Aurora and Bluefin is KDE (very customizable and Windows like) vs Gnome (customizable through widgets, but not enough if you’re a power tweaker and more of a Mac style desktop environments). And Bazzite is the same, but gamer focused (I installed it on my steamdeck).

Yeah, I love NC but boy is it a pain. If there were a similar but less bulky, less clunky option that wasn’t a pain to maintain, I’d be all over that.

Yeah, seconded on Tailscale. I love how easy it is to get working. Only fear is the recent announcement of venture funding and future enshitification, but right now it’s amazing.

Yeah, I didn’t want to be not supportive of your choice of distros, but my immediate thought was not Ubuntu… I use it headless for some homelab servers, but nowadays as far as desktops go, Ubuntu is not it.

Someone below mentioned Aurora, Bazzite’s sister. I currently use Bluefin, which is another of Bazzite’s sisters, also on Framework, and it has been pretty set it and forget it. They’re all “atomic” desktops in that it’s hard to be able change the underlaying important parts of your computer, while you have free reign on all the bits that aren’t important to keep the lights on. Updates happen frequently, but don’t touch your files on top, so it’s always the latest, and if something does break, you can easily boot up into the last image you were on.

If you’re not looking to tweak your computer too much and just want it to run, I’d recommend Aurora or Bluefin depending on your desktop preferences.

I read about Tailscale securing funding and also was scared enshitification would ensue. I really hope their promise to keep non-enterprise as it is and not claw it back is true. I am way too relient on that now 🫤

It’s openid so it should work. Though their web finger validation wasn’t quite straightforward when I did it.

I just got Authentik set up as my first SSO. Has anyone tried this?

This would just be a way for you to see what qbittorent is doing from your phone. In qbit you’d turn on a few settings and then point this app to what you just turned on, and then see what’s downloading from your phone.

The app isn’t doing anything beyond taking interpreting what your other programs (e.g., qbit, sonarr, radarr, etc) are doing while you’re away. Depending on the program you could also tell it to download something, but that’s all still happening on your laptop. Your phone is just the middle man.

What do you mean? The nzb360 app is just a front end for services you have running on a server somewhere. Are you asking how to run the backend part discreetly?

I’ve been curious about The Talos Principle if that’s still on the table?

Discord: Hold my beer

Oh that’s good to know. I took a look at notesnook a bit ago and immediately noped out when it appeared I’d have to get a subscription to do basic stuff.

Aw, Mandrake! I didn’t know what I was doing back then and chose it because of the root. Stuck with it until Ubuntu came out a bit later.

While I would be open to a trade, I’d be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I’d like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?
