  • I tried it once but didn’t see the use of it, but I saw it recommended often and I can see why, because it is nice to sync notes with your phone, if you need it there. I personally am a fan of the suckless/KISS mentality and just use syncthing to sync my plain markdown notes between devices.

    one thing that annoyed me, though, was that the markdown editor in joplin always inserted some weird blank lines or spacings. That might not be relevant or even obvious for someone who just uses the rich text formatting editor, but I mostly used the plain text editor and eventually asked myself what joplin is basically useful for in my use case, as I already had syncthing in place and I could just use any plain text editor of my choice. So for me the benefit of hierarchically structuring my notes was not worth the extra program on my computer/phone, especially considering that syncthing and vim/codium are programs specifically created for the use case that joplin tries to merge into a single product. But I might be an extreme case, as I have also replaced Nextcloud with Filebrowser and Syncthing, so take my words with a grain of salt.

    TLDR: Joplin is a great program and I can recommend it, it is just not suited for fans of the KISS mentality.




  • good thing you are above all that.

    No one forces you to pay, ads are easily blocked.

    i love the no one forces you to … argument, because you can always say it and it never means anything…

    Your acrimonious talk is happening because you realize that Steve Huffman is acting legitimately, but not the way you want him to.

    before you say it: no, he is also not forced to do anything, but maybe think about the difference between lawful, legitimate and the way someone wants someone else to act. nobody says he’s not acting lawfully, legitimacy is dependant on your objectivity and i don’t care if he acts the way someone wants him to.

    And that no one is going to ask you in this argument.

    this was no argument until you acted the way you did ;)

    Maybe 50% of the subs closed, but 50% stayed.

    that makes the price all the more ridiculous.

    And you’re left in a half-empty Lemmy and jerking off to the fall of Reddit.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    ya so what? you seem to be here to…



    • Nextcloud, mainly for calendars and contacts; occasionally for sharing files with others.
    • Syncthing for syncing files.

    Quick question: have you thought about hosting Radicale and filebrowser instead of NextCloud? I think that would be definetly lighter on your system.

    Also: I have read lots of mixed opinions whether mailservers should be selfhosted - what is your take on this? Do you know about problems reaching the big player mailservers?
