Let me start:

  • Lenovo Thinkpad W520 (“feynman”)
    • CPU: Intel Core i7-2620M
    • RAM: 8GiB DDR3
    • Storage: 240GB ADATA SU630 (SATA)
    • Host OS: Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid
    • Container runtime: Podman with Quadlets
    • Containers:
      • Jellyfin
      • speedtest-tracker
      • qBittorent
      • Librespeed
      • Uptime Kuma

Any recommendations (software preferably)?

    If you’re using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.

    Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr.

    These services let you find, download, and manage tv shows/movies from multiple trackers. You can even start tracking a tv show that’s still running and it’ll download new seasons as and when they’re released. From there they’re forwarded to your torrent client.

    It’s awesome, lets my non-technical GF add movies and tv shows without me, and means we’re up to date on severance!

    I’d personally recommend a second hard drive of 500GB at least. You’ll quickly fill that 250gb drive, and it’s good practice to keep your data and applications separate (if the drive fails or gets upgraded your services won’t need to go down!). You can also set up a ZFS pool so you can add drives later into a big pool that’s treated like a single drive by your applications, though most of those services can support multiple storage locations so ZFS isnt too urgent if you expand to a new drive.

    I can personally attest that the SU630 is a good SSD though. Serves my raspberry pi well! You don’t need SSDs for your bulk storage though, you won’t need the speed.

    Actual budget, grist, lubelogger (if you own a vehicle). Maybe fittrackee if you do sports.

    And silverbullet, indeed radicale to get rid of google contacts and calendar.

    And stirlingpdf is also great…

      I read about silverbullet a few times now. What is your experience with it? It looks very nice but I switch note taking apps so often I don’t have time to use any of them properly.

        Its nice and pretty nerdy. As web based nmarkdown editor in pretty good and the extra features rocks.

        It has a few quirks I don’t like though, on the self-hosted side:

        • no multi-user support.
        • auth is quirky and required a ticket to make it work at all
        • must be deployed on subdomain, which make it impossible to host multiple instances for multiple users easily

        But from functionality point of view, I love it
