Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Recomendation for a note taking app

Hahaha, I had that exact doubt and asked on the discord and the main Dev sent me that issue. I strongly recommend joining the Discord, it’s very active and sometimes there are interesting things there.

Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Sync files and Joplin notes on local network as well as mobile data

Yup, syncthing allows for a folder to be synced to multiple places, so I don’t see any problem with that. In fact I have 3 computers syncing things between themselves.

Is there any android client rather than using the web-interface that firefox wont let me connect to remotely without a valid certificat.

No, I use the PWA, i.e. access the page on your phone and as long as it’s https it will prompt you to install it. Personally I just used a tailscale network to get past the https authorisation, this also allows me to access it outside of my house so win-win

While it looks easy to use markup language using /, I’m wondering is there is a plugin that add a tool bar or a client app that does have it.

Didn’t understood, this is just a markdown file, you can just type things, no need to have buttons to add text.

Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Recomendation for a note taking app

Yes, but you need to hack your way around it, here’s an issue on GitHub explaining how to do it with my own solution there in comments. github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/…/338

Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Sync files and Joplin notes on local network as well as mobile data

So? If your laptop is off there’s no way to sync to it. If you have a server available you just set syncthing there as well.

File and partition get just as many writes. In fact files are better because you can create a second file on a different location and move the swap more easily to try to keep the writes spread across the card.

Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Sync files and Joplin notes on local network as well as mobile data

What’s the problem with syncthing? It can keep those 3 synced perfectly fine, no?

Nibodhika , (edited ) to selfhosted in Recomendation for a note taking app

You sound like me from last month. I strongly recommend silverbullet, check it out on silverbullet.md

  • Can be selfhosted

Check, even has a simple docker compose

  • Stores the notes as plain text or *.md files, not some SQL database.

Check, it does have an SQL database, but it’s used for queries, you can even copy or modify MD files at will

  • Can use Marddown format.

Check, it’s a superset of markdown that includes queries for cool stuff like create tables that group data from other pages

  • Have an android client or at least a mobile optimized web-interface.

Check, it has a PWA that works offline and syncs when back online. Note that this means that all files will be on your device if you use it like that, but that’s expected.

  • Not a must but it would be nice to have a to-do list option.

Check, like I mentioned you can query all tasks on all pages and even do filters based on several factors, like where the task is defined or extra attributes that you set to them, e.g. priority.

Edit: bonus points:

  • The main developer is active here lemmy.world/post/11816898
  • Also he’s very active on discord and always answering questions
  • Easily extensible with plugins and simple JavaScript functions, e.g. very easy to write a function to import a section of a page
  • You can have multiple instances in sync with syncthing (just exclude the databases from syncing)
Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Sanity Check. Docker vs Incus (LXD)

I’ve never used Incus, but it’s not clear to me why you would choose it over docker, you said that it would be preferable if performance was better, I can already tell you it’s not, best case scenario is equivalent performance (since docker runs natively), but I doubt any VM can match that.

Nibodhika , to linux in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

No it’s not, every sane person considers automatic to have little or no human interaction, but some human interaction to trigger the flow is still a thing, next you’ll tell me that an automatic weapon fires on it’s own will, or that an automatic garage door decides when to open. A single command that updates all of your system seems pretty automated to me, if not try doing your next update manually by downloading every single package from their source, compiling it if needed, and copying it into the correct folders, do that for every one of the hundreds of packages that get updates and then tell me that a single command is not automating a lot of that away for you.

It doesn’t even work how you’re describing in Windows, you get prompted whether you want to update there.

Nibodhika , to linux in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

All of those upgrade the drivers when you upgrade your system just like I mentioned.

Nibodhika , to linux in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

Would you mind telling us which obscure Linux distro do you use that doesn’t have a package manager? And how do you update your system?

Nibodhika , to linux in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

I assume you’re talking about the “auto-update” drivers. That’s pretty standard Linux thing, everything “auto” updates when you tell your system to update, that’s one of the huge advantages of package managers, not sure which Linux have you used, but the vast majority of them do have a package manager that updates everything (including drivers).

Nibodhika , to linux in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

Yes NVIDIA is crap which is why my next GPU will not be NVIDIA. However you need to remember AMD used to be crappier, and the last time I bought a GPU I still didn’t trusted AMD.

Also not sure what your answer has to do with the ongoing discussion.

Nibodhika , to linux in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

I had written a more thorough response, but the app crashed and I lost it. Sorry of this one sounds a bit harsh, I do mostly agree with you, I just think that the examples you’ve chosen are bad because they’re either distro specific (so not a Linux problem but a problem with that distro), or not Linux problems (i.e. there’s nothing Linux can do about it because the problem doesn’t lie on Linux but elsewhere)

Using proprietary multimedia codecs (Fedora)

Distro specific. It should be just like installing anything else, and it is for some distros, certainty for the ones I’ve been using.

Installing Nvidia drivers that have the capability of auto-updating (any distro that doesn’t have a GUI for driver downloads)

Distro specific, I’ve had NVIDIA drivers auto-updating for the past 15 years or so, long before Windows had that same capabilities. And it updates with my regular system update, no need to use any special GUI for it.

Installation (most people simply use the pre-installed OS and never reinstall or install anything new)

Not Linux problem. Also, while I can see the argument that’s easier to use what’s already installed, that tells you nothing of how easy one thing is in comparison to the other. If computers came with the most convolutedly complex and unusable crap of an OS, full of bloatware and spyware pre-installed people would still use it. Not to mention that the Linux installation process was much easier than Windows for the longest time (until windows finally implemented automatic driver installation)

Game compatibility (Linux gaming is great, but there are still major titles not supported)

Not Linux problem. Although this is something to bear in mind while choosing your OS, it’s the companies that make games that are at fault here, there’s nothing Linux can do to remedy this situation, so it’s unfair to judge it for it. That’s like saying Windows is harder to use because running docker containers in it is impossible without some virtualisation, while this is something to consider when deciding what OS will you use to self-host, it’s not per-se a reason why Windows is more difficult to use.

Accessing firmware settings and profiles for laptops while booted (like Armoury Crate for Asus laptops (yes, I know about rog-control-center and asusctl, but those don’t work for all devices, and are harder to set up))

Same as above.

Like I said, I agree with lots of what you said, and some of those are thing to keep in mind when choosing an OS, but those are not good arguments as for which OS is simpler than the other. The Linux way to do most of them is using the package manager, and that’s much simpler than searching the internet for the correct download.
