  • I would get some cheap maybe even used X86 hardware to start with. Depending on your backup needs, you might need more than one M2 or SATA port. If you plan to use it as an always on device, I would keep the power consumption in mind. A celeron N could be the way. The cpu processing power is, in my experience, not the limiting factor for a self-hosted environment. Give it lots of RAM, every virtual machine and every running service needs space.

    Using arm, like a Raspberry Pi, is not bad if you can find all your Docker images and binaries, compiled for this platform. I went away from it.

    There are many possible distributions and software you could use, it really depends on personal preference.






  • I use it myself and I’m content with its features and performance. (It fits my workflow. It is quite stable. Tags and backlinks are awesome and scripting yields good results for dynamic tables.) But:

    The wysiwyg editor has its quirks and missing features. I. E. In certain cases it scrolls down multiple pages when I just want to move the cursor a few lines.

    The full text search doesn’t return all results (at least with default settings). Sometimes I need to use grep on the md files.

    It is quite slow on startup both on android and PC. Maybe because electron.









  • Every decade has at least one of these buzzwords (multimedia, internet/ online, social media, mobile app, blockchain, cryptocoins, micropayment, delivery, ai,…)… They can be used to attract dumb investor’s money but they have their useful sides too.

    Ok. They are just buzzwords which outline a set of tools. They are worthless without a realizable concept with a benefit for the end-user. And the use of the right tool for the job. So, I’m not sure about useful cryptocoins and blockchain use cases (I wouldn’t count financial speculation as particularly useful).
