I moved to Linux a while back and only discovered docker after setting everything up. Haven’t got around to learning about it yet, Linux itself was a lot of info lol. Do you use docker containers for like every app you install? Like if I start with an old laptop and try syncthing, should that be installed in a docker container?
Yeah, I’ve been struggling with this. I’m thinking when my mail gets sorted I’ll go down to just the vpn subscription for now. Keeping one service isn’t perfect, but perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good. keeping 1 of the 8 services is way better than all 8 lol.
Thanks, I’ll give it a look. Self hosting is a huge learning curve for me, I hate network stuff lol.
I spent the day getting things set up to leave.
Pass went to KeePass, which was easier than I expected.
Drive is now replaced with Filen.io
Standard Notes is now Obsidian
Looking at AirVPN, but not ready to pull the trigger on that yet.
Still looking for a calendar. Thunderbird has one but it’s not on mobile for some reason.
The big one is mail. I was the same as you migrating from gmail so I’m learning my lesson now. Set up Thundermail today and have 3 custom domains set up. Spent hours today swapping out account emails. It’s rough, but I did it to myself. I knew going full Proton ecosystem was a bad idea, but at the time I just wanted out of Google. Take your time.
Same as I do for music. I use Calibre and do a lot of manual organization. My tree looks like this:
King, Stephen/
Christine/
Christine.epub
Dark Tower, The - 01 - Gunslinger, The/
Dark Tower, The - 01 - Gunslinger, The.epub
Dark Tower, The - 02 - Drawing of the Three, The/
Dark Tower, The - 02 - Drawing of the Three, The.epub
Needful Things/
Neefdul Things.epub
Of course, most of my books are fiction so I don’t use genres, but now I’m rethinking that lol.
If you find it does that, like:
Album1 7/12 tracks
Album2 1/15 tracks
Album3 4/21 tracks
I just click and drag Album2 and Album3 into Album1
I just switched to custom domains and Thundermail
