Just last weekend I fired up Floppy a fork of Yamtrack. The settings include a guide to set up webhook integration with Jellyfin which works great.
Wasn’t sure which of the two to go for but Floppy looks to have more features & in case of issues it seems backup/restore is interchangeable between Floppy & Yamtrack.
Works really well for my needs.

From distant memory a track was used in an obscure fixed gear cycling documentary I caught & I looked them up from that. Not my usual bag at all but I loved the electronic sounds mixed with guitars. They’re certainly talented, singer has a velvet smooth voice & they probably should have gained a far wider audience
If it helps, for Androids share YT link to something like Untracker to remove unwanted nonsense from the url which you can then pass on safely (also works for things such as Amazon links).
For images, share to something such as Imagepipe first to remove location data. Other apps such as Aves Libre gallery or image Toolbox also strip this data but Imagepipe is simple - share image to it & it passes the image directly to your messaging app after stripping the data
Halfway through the 2nd paragraph & he’s wrong on almost every point being made. Stopped reading as it was making my piss itch
My preference was Joplin synced through self hosted Nextcloud
I’ve self hosted for a while but never used linux desktop. Just this week I just set up dual boot on my laptop with the intention of using it 90% Linux 10% windows 10. Its been great so far & I’m enjoying the learning curve finding alternatives to what I’m used to (some of which I’m sure I can’t run on Linux - Traktor & several other more obscure things). Lots to learn but good fun & the lack of AI horseshit plus the OS not spying feels liberating.
The very first software I installed (Brave) recommended to use terminal which didn’t bother me in the slightest but it may be intimidating/offputting for mainstream.
I use windows 11 at work & at a friends who needed help. It’s absolutely loathsome, everytime I open anything there’s stupid irritating notifications & popups getting in the way when it tries to “help". Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows in our house

As far as Nextcloud plugins go, aside from Memories I just run the basics such as Contacts. I sync Joplin notes through it & it all syncs to 2 x desktops & a mobile. For me the Pi5 8GB with NVMe is plenty fast enough for Nextcloud & it’s proved to be stable. I run it through Docker via Portainer. This device is also running Kopia for snapshot backups, reverse proxy & Linkwarden.
The EQ14 is running Docker, Portainer, Kopia & about 5 other self hosted apps, the most processor hungry of them being Immich & Paperless. I haven’t tested against my Pi5 setup but its anecdotally massively faster & more stable than the Pi4B 4GB that I initially deployed Immich on. The Pi4 was really slow processing more than a few images at a time & sometimes crashed whereas the EQ14 doesn’t blink adding say 100 images at a time, processes face recognition etc much faster too & has never crashed. Immich was the driving factor for me to upgrade to the EQ14 & its been great. It also chews through manual backups of Paperless documents in a fraction of the time that it took my Pi4B.
The EQ14 would have no issue whatsoever running Nextcloud. I’ll be adding more self host stuff to it once I find anything else I think will be useful!
I run Nextcloud + Memories plugin on a Pi5 8GB with NVMe with a fanless Argon Neo case. Fast & very stable. One user but it gets quite heavy use.
An alternative you might prefer is a Beelink mini PC which I’m runnin with SSD’s. I went for a Beelink EQ14 which i use for stuff like Paperless & Immich plus several other self host softwares. Picked it up cheap about a year ago before the AI nonsense pushed prices high. Frugal with electricity & more powerful than Pi. Ships with Windows which I ditched for Ubuntu Server. I’ve found it to run like a dream.
I still feel like I’m living in the future using Paperless though I feel I must use it differently to everyone else as i haven’t felt the need to automate everything as it doesn’t always tag things to match my own specific tagging system.
For those that do automate everything, how do you overcome naming of documents? I want the scanned documents to have human readable names rather than the naming format of my scanner (or phone on occasion) or the naming format of XYZ company emailing me a document because in a catastrophe situation I want to be able to easily find & retreive vital/important .pdf docs from a backup rather than having to think about replacing equipment to set up Paperless again (in my instance aside from nightly Kopia snapshot backups I also export Paperless backups on device plus a secondary backup is automatically moved to a separate drive on my network & a third copy is encrypted & stored off site).
I too use Nextcloud & Joplin on all my machines. I also have LocalSend on desktops & phone as another option for quickly firing something over. Because I’m a nerd I also keep a copy of LocalSend portable on my keyring flash drive “just in case I need it” (I’ll almost certainly never need it).
I settled on Kopia myself but I always seem to see the others mentioned
Oldie but Goldie & the saddest song I’ve ever heard: Gilbert O’Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally)
Ive used OsmAnd+ for years & I still find it confusing to find specific settings! Thankfully OsmAnd settings can be backed up & exported/imported.
That said, several times in new cities in both in my home country & abroad late in the day, it’s found us places to eat, toilets, late night supermarkets etc etc. I was grateful to the mappers & I vowed to do the same in my home city suburb to help any fellow visitors who find themselves here. I kept my word & mapped it extensively though I’ll not reveal where.
Several months ago we visited a European capital for a city break, the public transit navigation in OsmAnd was fantastic. The offline wiki articles are amazing when visiting new places.
Top tip: utilise the “Quick Action” shortcut button. Add fuel, parking, parking location, wiki & “show nearest POI”. You can toggle them on/off in an instant when needed
These days only when they break. Had a used Note 20 Ultra for 3 years. Brilliant phone but the screen broke. After watching the Fold range & thinking we’d been beamed into the future I finally took the plunge & got a used Fold (an older model for the S Pen compatibility).
What I would say is some apps that were broken on the Note work fine on newer Android version (for me, YouTube on Firefox used to kaput after exactly 60 seconds).
Fully intend keeping this bad boy until Android finally shits itself with the whole sideload debacle & all the general war on privacy/FOSS. Hopefully Linux phone will become a viable alternative
I too use Keepass2android offline, never had a sync issue though recently I inexplicably encountered an issue where the keyfile couldnt be found or had become corrupted on mobile. This may have been a phone thing rather than a Keypass thing as I never had such issue in many years of use. Luckily I had the forethought to keep an encrypted backup so I was back up & running quickly.
If I remember Keepass allows pdf attachments without restriction which is excellent for vehicle insurance, breakdown cover etc as its good to have these available offline anytime “just in case”. I think this feature is restricted in Bitwarden (though maybe not Vaultwarden).
I once bought our son a transparent practice lock picking set. Great fun. Not the cheapest but he has since been able to repay me many times over from the proceeds of various jewellers shop robberies & bank heists
Yeah I had those same concerns too, it’s why I mentioned the import/export being interchangeable with Yamtrack.
