Anything that would be considered plaintext (markdown, org, etc…) or something easily portable like html export.

I always think about these things in the sense of how would i pass this journal on to less technically capable family members if it became necessary.

Nice looking project. Will there be amy export/backup functionality? I wouldnt want to keep a journal in a young project that doesnt have some sort of migration option.

Im pretty appimage is stable to use on your system. It contains all of the dependencies inside of it. Just one file for all of its needs. Only issue that ive had is that you need to manually update them (ie download the newest version).

Hahah very true

I stopped dual booting windows 10 just because it kept messing up my boot loader when it performed certain updates

Also i dont believe its open source as requested. Although openwrt can be flashed on some models

They are excellent

Do you mean the delay between when you need to re-enter the superuser password?

I found this via an LLM:

To change the delay before needing to re-enter your sudo password, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal and run:

   sudo visudo
   

2. Locate the line:

   Defaults env_reset
   

3. Add the following line below it:

   Defaults timestamp_timeout=<time-in-minutes>
   

   Replace <time-in-minutes> with the desired timeout in minutes (e.g., 30 for 30 minutes). Setting it to 0 requires a password every time, while a negative value disables the timeout entirely.

Never heard of this but definitely a cool thing.

Keepass. Keep it simple.

Plex is good but another option is jellyfin

The lack of ios app deterred me from even testing it. I play tech support for my family enough to know an app would be necessary.

Man ive been looking for something like this for a long time and never found a suitable option.

Post i had before about this same topic.

Humhub wasnt a solution for me since most of my family uses iPhones and not having a dedicated app would confuse them.

This is the suggestion i had too

What a garbage TIL post

Exactly the same here. I loathe kakao

I think you would be better off using something like org-roam. It’s all text so script can still be used and it can be searched fast with ripgrep. Also org mode has loads of features that a homegrown system will never be able to catch up with

You are correct. Matrix is the only one that has an option to use e2ee. Rocket chat has it it beta but that may take some time to roll out.

I’ve recently been testing Mattermost for a family communication platform. I also tried matrix/element and Rocket.Chat. I’m leaning towards Mattermost since the mobile apps (essential for my family) feels the most intuitive.

Element required knowing what features existed and then finding them which isn’t going to work for grandma.

Rocket.chat was good too just leaned towards Mattermost for some reason.

I really wish matrix had a well polished iOS app. The best I found was FluffyChat but even then it felt…not right.
