- Randomly removes email addresses I use every day from the auto-complete forcing me to type them literally in full for weeks until it remembers them again.
- A colleagues name starts "tom..." but it ALWAYS auto-completes with another colleague "tim...". Every single time.
- Search sucks. Not sure if this particular complaint is just our company setup but for some reason it hides stuff older than a given date "on the server" which means you have to remember exactly where stuff is & open the folder before it displays the contents rendering search pointless. Absolutely hopeless
I tried Hoarder (KaraKeep) & Linkwarden. Both excellent but I preferred the UI for Linkwarden, particularly on mobile, so I stuck with that - i found Hoarder awkward to edit thumbnails for example though things may have changed in KaraKeep. From Android perspective both have apps but I prefer to use browser plugin. With Linkwarden there's some hoops to jump through on Android Firefox but it works perfectly once set up. Both excellent choices.
A few FOSS that I havent yet seen mentioned (assuming everyone already uses AntennaPod, Aegis, Keepass2Android, OsmAnd, Signal, VLC, SD Maid SE etc):
- FairEmail - Email client
- Voyager - Lemmy client
- whoBIRD - Shazam for birds
- Subz - Subscription manager/notifier
- Untracker - Remove tracking info before sharing links (YouTube, Amazon etc)
- Obtainium - Update manager/notifier
- PDF Converter - .pdf tool. May be abandoned but doesnt require internet & is useful
- MJ PDF - .pdf reader
- FitoTrack - Fitness tracker
- Shelter - Work profile for if your employer won't provide a work phone but insists you use a shitty 3rd party proprietary app for everything from booking leave to payslips to health scheme to... Well anything, coz everything has to have its own shitty app these days, right?
Why not both? I've exposed my Nextcloud instance to www but don't want to expose Immich. The Memories plugin for Nextcloud is great for sharing photos to family (I tend to share only photos from special events rather than everything).
I have Nextcloud on a Pi5 8GB running an SSD. Immich currently on a Pi4B 4GB with external HDD.
Another shout for Homebox. I used to use a spreadsheet but over time found I simply didn't maintain it but I've found I always maintain Homebox.
Homebox allows parent/child relationship between items & exports to spreadsheet.
I dont utilise the QR code facility because my family members would not bother to use QR codes. Instead I've numbered all boxes in each location (attic, garage, basement etc), printed contents of each box & put the printout into physical folders left in each location so even the most Luddite in my family can easily locate stuff then, in theory, remember where they took it from & if the stars align & its my luck day, put the item back in the same box that they removed said item from. When that happens I always check my lottery numbers too!
They can't filter/search a physical printout but at least they can find stuff (I guess I should simply add a QR code to each printout for a best of both worlds solution).
Overall I've found Homebox a useful, simple & fun tool
Not a 3rd party front end as such but on android I use YT through browser with DeArrow, Sponsorblock & uBO. I never sign in to YouTube, subscriptions & "watch later" i handle via a specific note set up in Joplin. Also all tracking is removed first via Untracker. Takes an extra few seconds to add video links to Joplin but its become second nature & works well for me & of course this way let's me save links to PeerTube content & any other sources too
i guess everyone is hyped for this - looks & sounds like an old school classic. I dont even game any more & I'm still pumped to see it!
