I want to be able to keep track of certain things I (or more accurately, we as a family) need to do. E.g. paint the shed, call the people to clean the roof, pack bags for vacation, etc. It will just be shared between me and my partner. My partner is not super technical but is relatively open-minded to me wanting to do things differently (kicking out netflix in favour of plex, using mealie for recipes, etc..).

We previously used Nextcloud Deck but since switching to Immich I just want to rid of nextcloud entirely. The deck app is still there but doesn't sync anymore (imagine the embarrassment finding out your partner is still trying to use the thing you persuaded her into using but forgot that it broke) I need to find something else.

• It needs to be relatively simple (or able to hideaway complexities)
• Single board is fine, multiple would be nice
• We just do a todo/doing/done flow.
• We really like the 'board' way of working, dragging and dropping a task from doing to done etc
• Tasks need due dates, descriptions, attachments, possibly comments
• native android app, I'm not sure if the state of PWA's is already so far that it would not dink on the spouse approval factor. I remember mealie logging us out so often.

What i've tried / read:

• kanboard: this seems like the best candidate, but lacks a proper android app. This is a major dealbreaker. There was an android app called khanos but that doesn;t work anymore. I tried WiserBoard but that just seems like an Indian company taking Khanos and removing all attribution - it keeps asking for a shit ton of permissions so I got sketched out and deleted it.

• focalboard: looks nice, maybe a bit complex.. No android app.

I had my hopes set on kanboard but ehhhhhh

What are others using for this purpose?

I'm currently running Arch and it's great, but I'm noticing I'm not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I've been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I've got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don't do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.

Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?

Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren't wrong because I'm using a password manager. Logs didn't say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart the credentials worked again.

This stuff is just way too flaky for something so important.

Is OwnCloud good again? My main usecase is saving photos but I don't want them locked away in a database so SeaFile is out.

Edit: I'm going to take the time to reply to you all, bit busy with work and family suddenly. But a little update - I've quickly setup Immich and fired up the CLI to import my library. AFAIK the files are still stored on disk somewhere but metadata is in a database. I didn't realize this before, knowing that I think my mind is made up and Immich is the best solution. Thanks everyone!

And what is it? Always assumed it was just water but now I'm pretty sure it's not. Also do all cars do this?

and it only just clicked why they're called beans

I've calmed down a bit but still would like to know if there are any new 'cool' apps to selfhost. I know of the awesome-selfhosted github repo. Any other great sources, and could we incorporate something like that into our selfhosted community here? Maybe a bot that checks if any new ones been added?

Wish I could just get sound for the ring doorbell instead of everything. Utility seems lost on me.
