So I am for the most part a lurker and a hobbyist. I've always been a bit of a techie, but over time decided I wanted to be more anti-consumption and such.

I started out with by doing my own calendar. I have a desktop that has my nextcloud and use it to sync my gnome calendar with fossify (with davx5). This was rather straight forward and gave me a nice confidence boost. This is mostly done on my local network, tho I am thinking of reading more into tailscale and getting a domain. The next move I did was to bring my todo list over. This was a bit tricky as many apps don't have a setting to support repeat todos and crossing one off might just remove the item entirely and kill the resets that another app set up. At one point I found the app super productivity. This app is basically perfect. Only downsides is that it is a bit more strict (particularly on the mobile app) about an ssl cert. There is an option to have the app sync with a local file. I thought I could be clever and just have nextcloud do the syncing and let the apps think they are working only off the local on their respective device. Alas there was a snag here. For some reason nextcloud will write the files with read only permission on the laptop, so I cannot add or cross off items. Then I remembered using some apps around a decade ago that worked off a todo.txt file. I figured maybe I could find some mobile and desktop apps and recycle the idea of letting nextcloud manage two way sync of a file and letting apps interact with it as if it were local. It seems like I have some winners here with sleek on desktop and ntodo.txt on mobile.

Just my humble story of selfhosting so I don't feel like a poser when listening to podcasts or lurking.

I have a server on my local network. So far I have it sync my laptop and phone's Joplin and Calendar when I get home. I was thinking it would be neat to host my rss/podcast feeds on my nextcloud so that the read/listend to passes around.

Is nextcloud generally the way to go with this or has the community gone some other path?

Clients are a linux laptop and pixel with graphene if it matters.

I know... I know.

But just out of curiosity about how it works. I remember back in some dark days of still dual booting getting curious about wsl1 and being fairly impressed. At the time I had a heavy gaming laptop and a Surface 3 I would take to class to keep my STEM student physic rather than going body builder moving an alienware around.

Having wsl was a neat tool to get started on some homework assignments before I got home to the real computer. Given that Windows ARM has been kind of a let down (or perhaps Apple just set too high a bar) I am curious about how this niche has turned out.

Best part is how some of the threads circle back to having taxes (with extra steps of course)

So I have been selfhosting my calendar and todo list on a local server for sometime now. I use thuunderbird's tasks on my laptop and jtx board on my phone.

I see that jtx board has a journaling feature. It looks like maybe it is just for notes rather than a place to write self reflections. Is there something similar to this app in self hosting with a mobile and desktop component?
