There is nothing here saying it will be FOSS or open-source, just source-available.

I have been on a similar search.

I don't think Joplin does real-time collaboration, if that is the kind of collaboration you're looking for. If you don't expect you and your wife to edit documents at the same time, it may work for you. For me, I almost exclusively want to real-time edit lists with my partner.

My current system gets around real-time collaboration needs by using 3 obsidian notes in a shared obsidian vault. For example, my partner and I each have a grocery list with a dataview showing the other's list in their own. That way my partner can edit their list and I can see what they're editing while doing the same on mine, thus avoiding collisions. Then, I have an in-store grocery list view that joins the two lists and groups by isle, and we just check off things on a single phone as we put them in the cart.

I would LOVE to get away from this system.

Hedgedoc 2.0 will have an Explore Page when it comes out, and with that, I think it will solve my use case. It has a good-enough mobile interface, and markdown isn't terrible.

For the music festival, have you considered something more robust like a wiki?

I just switched from Nobara to NixOS on my gaming PC. I've had NixOS on my laptop for almost a year and decided I'm comfortable enough with it to use it full time, and it works great for gaming.

Before NixOS, I was a die-hard Arch user. The only reasons it would break were because I was trying a bunch of stuff from AUR to play around with Wayland + Nvidia when that was brand new, or when I would forget to update for a while.

It breaking was primarily due to me tinkering around and not fully undoing those changes. Now I can do that with no fear on NixOS, and it's fabulous.

My job is all Google and Microsoft. It sucks, for sure.

What frustrates me more is that students are trained to use specific proprietary tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace or Adobe Creative Suite, especially at public schools. The school systems are just further entrenching these tools.

I don't see anywhere on their site if it can do threads as well as spaces. I need both, and I'd love to move away from Element/Schildichat.

A basic, local text-to-speech app using home assistant's piper would be great. Feed it a document and have it read the document to you, highlighting along the way.

https://indieweb.org/ has a lot of good resources. Static site generators like Hugo are also great. If you want something more traditional like a Wordpress blog, I recommend https://www.reclaimhosting.com/

For a domain registrar, I HIGHLY recommend https://porkbun.com/

I have lots of projects going on and I'm making incremental progress on all of them.

I'm designing furniture to make everything I own take up less space so I can move to smaller apartments in the future.

Through self-hosting, I'm slowly removing big-tech software from my life, and I'm helping friends/family to do the same. I recently set up a small invidious instance that my friends and I share.

I finally have Linux'd all the things and have my computers under a single NixOS configuration.

I'm using Home Assistant to monitor and reduce power usage.

I started https://urban-colorado.wiki to be a repository for people in Colorado to get information about recent and upcoming housing and transportation legislation, how to get involved, local urbanist communities, and social programs available and how to access them. It's still VERY much in its infancy, but anyone in Colorado is welcome and encouraged to contribute.

I'm also saving up for a cargo bike to replace the vast majority of cars trips that I still take.

The todo.txt format and the software being built around it.

Namely sleek and ntodotxt

Decided to take this as an opportunity to just go for it. It works great on my gaming PC with Plasma 6. I tested Balatro with Proton, and Baldur's Gate III.

I have a Ryzen 5800X3D CPU and an RX7900XTX GPU.

So far it seems just fine! I'm finding a few bugs here and there, but I think that has more to do with COSMIC than NixOS. I'm going to do some more testing on Plasma to narrow down where the issues are. You can see my config here:

I've been running NixOS on my framework laptop for almost a year now. I'm a huge fan.

The only thing I couldn't get working was a flake + home-manager-as-a-module + sway setup, but I haven't tried for 6 months or so.

Currently running flake + home-manager-as-a-module + COSMIC and it's fantastic.

I'm running Nobara on my gaming PC, and was originally planning to switch to Bazzite if anything broke, but now I'm working on prepping my NixOS config for gaming.
