Good catch, I didn’t realize that with AnyType. That makes my first recommendation to OP just SilverBullet, then. Source available is better than nothing, like with Obsidian, but OP specifically asked for FOSS repos. It looks like their peer to peer sync server is MIT licensed, but their client (and client library) code is licensed under the “Any Source Available License 1.0,” which restricts use other than for “personal, academic, scientific, or research and development use, or evaluating the Software, but does not include uses where the Software facilitates any transaction of economic value.”

I ruled out Logseq’s sync service due to it being both paid ($60/year minimum) and not FOSS, both things OP asked for. For my purposes, since it’s not FOSS and not able to be self hosted, it’s not a good option. But it makes sense to use the same file syncing solution that’s already in use, whether that’s FolderSync (or some equivalent tool) set up to sync to my server, Syncthing (though I just realized its Android client is no longer being developed as of December 2024), or even Cryptomator + some cloud storage service.

Since you’re already using Standard Notes - have you checked out Awesome Standard Notes? You can use the community extensions - editors, themes, etc. - even with the free plan.

It’s my main note-taking app, but I also got the 5 year paid plan for $150 (IIRC) a few years ago, and prices have increased substantially since then. If I weren’t locked into a lower rate, I’m not sure I’d subscribe at the current rates (though I would look into the self-hosted Pro discount before ruling it out). That said, if you don’t need note linking, queries, and those sorts of things, then I think the free plan of Standard Notes + community extensions is a great option. If I self-hosted the server, the main thing I’d be missing over the paid plan is nested tags.

Logseq (repo) might meet your needs if you’re okay setting up a sync service like Syncthing on every client you use. Of course, you could use Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., but I recommend against it without a layer like Cryptomator in between, since your data is store in the clear. IMO it doesn’t really make sense to self-host Logseq - just use the native app that’s available on basically every platform. I find Logseq kinda confusing, honestly, but it has a lot of compelling features.

SilverBullet may be what you’re looking for. It must be self-hosted and has a PWA instead of native apps, but the PWA on mobile at least is quite good. Since it uses Markdown files for its notes, you could use it with some other tool on the machine hosting those files, if you wanted. I have it self hosted myself and it’s the best alternative I’ve found to Notion and Obsidian when it comes to querying my own notes and so on.

Someone else posted about Outline and I think it’s a fantastic, polished option. I know that you said this is for solo use, so you probably don’t care about its collaboration features, but you also mentioned managing personal projects, and its integrations (e.g., Airtable) could be useful for that. I have it self-hosted and it is a bit more complicated than other options, but I don’t think I ran into any particular issues. I’m using it with Authelia as an OIDC provider and can share my docker-compose file and other config if that would be helpful. They also have a paid, hosted option, which you can try out for 30 days if you want to see if it’s right for you before you put the time and effort into self-hosting it. One of my most-used editors in Standard Notes is the Rich Markdown Editor, which is based off the editor used in Outline. However, unlike SilverBullet and Standard Notes,

Hedgedoc is another option that may be worth looking into. It’s my go-to collaborative editor / gist replacement. Personally, I prefer it over Outline. Its main shortcomings are that:

• it must be self-hosted (though you could use HackMD aka CodiMD, which it was forked from, as that does have a hosted version)
• it doesn’t have an app (on any platform - not even a PWA)
• it doesn’t have any sort of querying capabilities, and
• it doesn’t have any sort of Kanban-like tool.

But it does have several built-in integrations, like Mermaid and multiple other diagramming tools, inline images (just drag and drop), syntax highlighting for code, Gist embeds, Youtube embeds, optional Vim/Emacs keybindings, a slide deck presentation mode, inline CSV tables, etc., and that’s all without needing to mess with plugins or switch between editors.

I hadn’t used AnyType before today, but it’s been on my radar since late 2020, and it’s pretty powerful. It’s not perfect, but it seems to check off everything you’re looking for. It does have a bit of a learning curve, but it’s been easy to jump in and take notes.

It’s hard to know which to recommend you try, though, because your list of criteria don’t all map neatly to features. For example, what do you want from planning vs managing personal projects? What do you mean by “journaling?” Is having a “journal” section where notes get dates sufficient? Do you like the way Standard Notes or Logseq handle journaling, or are you looking for features like what jtxBoard has?

I’m assuming the following for my table below:

• Quick Notes - easy to create a new note and just write some stuff. Needing to fill out any required fields (even “title”) make this a ❌
• To-do lists - checkbox lists. You have to be able to add a new item by pressing enter and mark an item off just by checking the box.
• Managing and planning projects:
  • Kanban / Trello style board - without needing to integrate with a non-FOSS third party service (this is why Outline gets a ❌)
  • Linking to another note in the body of a note (Standard Notes lets you create a link in the tag bar - this doesn’t count)
  • Embedded querying of your other notes, treating notes like objects - really the thing that makes Notion so powerful
  • Easy table editor
  • Diagrams - Mermaid, Excalidraw, or a similar plugin that works natively
• Easy to use - auto-saving of notes, automatic synchronization that “just works,” rich text copy-paste, etc…
• Offline mode - You didn’t mention this, but I’m calling it out since it’s otherwise easy to take for granted.
• Publishing - you mentioned not caring about collaboration, but being able to publish a note is still useful in solo-only workflows, as it gives you a way to reference it directly from a bookmark, some other tool, etc., potentially from a device where you aren’t authenticated.

[1]: For Standard Notes, I’m not assuming that you’re self-hosting the server, but I am assuming that you’re installing community extensions, particularly Rich Markdown Editor or something similar.
[2]: For Silver Bullet, I’m assuming that you’re installing community plugins.

I recommend you try AnyType and/or SilverBullet first, depending on which one looks more appealing to you.

Giphy has a documented API that you could use. There have been bulk downloaders, but I didn’t see any that had recent activity. However you still might be able to use one to model your own script after, like https://github.com/jcpsimmons/giphy-stacks

There were downloaders for Gfycat - gallery-dl supported it at one point - but it’s down now. However you might be able to find collections that other people downloaded and are now hosting. You could also use the Internet Archive - they have tools and APIs documented

There’s a Tenor mass downloader that uses the Tenor API and an API key that you provide.

Imgur has GIFs is supported by gallery-dl, so that’s an option.

Also, read over https://github.com/simon987/awesome-datahoarding - there may be something useful for you there.

In terms of hosting, it would depend on my user base and if I want users to be able to upload GIFs, too. If it was just my close friends, then Immich would probably be fine, but if we had people I didn’t know directly using it, I’d want a more refined solution.

There’s Gifable, which is pretty focused, but looks like it has a pretty small following. I haven’t used it myself to see how suitable it is. If you self-host it (or something else that uses S3), note that you can use MinIO or LocalStack for the S3 container rather than using AWS directly. I’m using MinIO as part of my stack now, though for a completely different app.

MediaCMS is another option. Less focused on GIFs but more actively developed, and intended to be used for this sort of purpose.

Unless something has changed, it did. The page linked reads:

And, obviously, this POC is open source, the code is publish here on our forge.

The link takes you to their repos. The server repo has instructions on self-hosting directly on your server or with Docker. The app repo has code for both the iOS and Android apps. That’s good, because the iOS app at least doesn’t have a built-in way to select a different backend server.

Whisper is by OpenAI and as far as I know they have not shared the training code, much less the data sets, so the best you can do is fine-tune the models they’ve provided.

If use of Whisper is a problem, but the project is otherwise interesting to you, you could ask them to consider using a different STT solution (or allowing the user to choose between different options). I’m not aware of any fully open STT applications that are considered to be as capable as Whisper, but if you do, that would be great info to share with them.

Just don’t use Ubuntu. They do too much invisible fuckery with the system that hinders use on a server.

Would that warning also apply to Mint, since it’s based on Ubuntu, as well as other Ubuntu-based distros?

Your comment makes no sense.

The article you posted is from 2023 and PERA was basically dropped. However, this article talks about PREVAIL, which would prevent patents from being challenged except by the people who were sued by the patent-holder, and it’s still relevant.

Understandably frustrating, especially if you’re new to investing. But it’s expected that the market will have both ups and downs.

The best advice I can give is to choose a good investment allocation and then stick to it. Contribute as much as you can each pay period or month and avoid looking at your balance as much as possible. You should figure out a rebalancing strategy, and you’ll probably need to look at your account to do that. Also, see The Best Order of Operations For Saving For Retirement.

Right now you have unrealized losses, but you haven’t actually lost any money (i.e., you have no “realized losses”) until you withdraw it. As it’s a retirement account and you just started it, I assume you aren’t planning to retire in the next decade, much less the next three years.

Is this your only retirement account? If so, why have you not been continuing to add money to it? If you wait to do that until the market recovers, you’ll lose out on all the gains between now and then.

I know you haven’t said you’re considering selling, but I recommend you check out the “Maintain Discipline” section of the Bogleheads investment philosophy, just in case that’s on your mind. I also recommend that you read up on dollar cost averaging (if you’re investing in a retirement plan every pay period, you’re already doing this).

You pointed out that the entire market has been impacted. I haven’t personally been paying attention in enough detail to confirm that (and my accounts that I just checked have gone up about 10% over the past three years, not down), but if so, that means you could change your asset allocation without selling low and buying high. I’m not saying you should change it, but if you take the time to learn about different investment strategies and decide a different one works for you, it’s nice to not have to sell your current investments while they’re underperforming relative to your new investments. (On the other hand, you can always change the allocation for your future investments without worrying about that.)

Yes, but have you seen some of the decisions the Supreme Court has come up with?

Do you only experience the 5-10 second buffering issue on mobile? If not, then you might be able to fix the issue by tuning your NextCloud instance - upping the memory limit, disabling debug mode and dropping log level back to warn if you ever changed it, enabling memory caching, etc…

https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/hearing-health/ says it has received FDA authorization, but doesn’t mention receiving approval from any other country’s regulatory body. It doesn’t say it’s US exclusive, though:

The Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features are expected to be available fall 2024. The Hearing Aid feature has received FDA authorization. Both features will be supported on AirPods Pro 2 with the latest firmware paired with a compatible iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 and later and are intended for people 18 years old or older. The Hearing Aid feature will also be supported on a compatible Mac with macOS Sequoia and later. It is intended for people with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

The Hearing Protection feature, on the other hand, is explicitly listed as being exclusive to the US and Canada.

Up until a year ago, the README explicitly said they didn’t claim to be an open source project: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/commit/8906f90ac0cc50a0c6da77c28cf9b2b2339277b1#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5L10

For starters, it was never “open source”…

From your link:

Instead, as Winamp CEO Alexandre Saboundjian said, “Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version.” The sort-of open-source version is going by the name FreeLLama.

While Winamp hasn’t said yet what license it will use for this forthcoming version, it cannot be open source with that level of corporate control.

If I upload the source code for my project on Github/Forgejo/Gitlab/Gitea and license it under and open source license, allowing you to fork it and do whatever you want (so long as you follow the terms of my copyleft license), and I diligently ensure that code is uploaded to my repository before being deployed, but I ignore all issues, feature requests, PRs, etc., is my project open source?

Yes.

Likewise, if Winamp had been licensed under an open source license, it would have been open source, regardless of how much control they kept over the official distribution.

Winamp wasn’t open source because its license, the WCL, wasn’t open source.

You could’ve scrolled down to the bottom, clicked on “Links,” then clicked on the repo link

The repo has instructions to install a Snap or build from source. If you build from source, it looks like you should download an archive from the releases page rather than just pulling from master.

The unicode standard has stated that U+2019 is the preferred character for apostrophes since at least the late 90s.

And it’s not like using a curved apostrophe in typesetting was novel even then.

as opposed to U+2019 being posthumously appropriated

U+0027 was also an ASCII character. The death of ASCII as a common format is the only one I can think of… what death are you referring to here?

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_single_quotation_mark

The Unicode character ’ (U+2019 right single quotation mark) is used for both a typographic apostrophe and a single right (closing) quotation mark.[1] This is due to the many fonts and character sets (such as CP1252) that unified the characters into a single code point, and the difficulty of software distinguishing which character is intended by a user’s typing.[2] There are arguments that the typographic apostrophe should be a different code point, U+02BC modifier letter apostrophe.[3]

In other words, U+2019 is the typographic apostrophe character. It’s also the right single quote character. There are people who think that the typographic apostrophe character should be something else (and having read their arguments, I agree), but in practice, it isn’t, and certainly wasn’t back in the 90s / early 2000s.

Can you elaborate on why this is mildly infuriating?

You should also be able to just put two spaces

Open-Webui published a docker image that has a bundled Ollama that you can use, too: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:cuda. More info at https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/#installing-open-webui-with-bundled-ollama-support

For the purposes of this project, you could at least reproduce them by running wget and downloading them from the original projects.
