In that case, use linuxserver's webtop container. I use one for exactly that. Runs in a browser. I mounted the home directory to a folder so it keeps any files and settings I have, but I haven't mounted anything else to a volume, so whenever I restart the container it's fresh. Makes it really easy to try out software or configurations.

Oversized ego is generally a problem with people who take it upon themselves to give advice to society in general. Sometimes you can work around it. The guy has some interesting things to say, and he's an eloquent look into the rationalization certain people give for the problematic beliefs they already have.

You just have to learn how to approach these people without thinking they have some special right to think and you don't, because a little thoughtful examination shows much of what he says for the bs it is. That ability frequently comes with age and self sufficiency, which is probably why ye targets the people he does.

There are only a few services I host that are publicly accesible, and I put those on a 12 dollar per year virmach vps. One of those is vaultwarden. Some others are gotify, wallabag, hauk, and remotely. I don't think it's a problem to run vaultwarden on your lan only because it will sync changes when you connect and resolve any conflicts. I have it accessible from the internet to encourage friends and family to use a password manager with as few hurdles as possible. I've found it to be easy to administrate and secure. In fact, I just moved it from my cancelled dedipath vps to my virmach vps yesterday with zero issues and about 5 minutes of downtime.

I'm pretty satisfied with simplex at this point, even without self hosting the back end. But I do really like that I can host the server myself if I do get sketched out.

I ran immich on a server that's substantially faster than a raspberry pi, and after about a day and a half it keeps me from getting in with ssh. Even locally, I have to wait for a long time to get a login prompt.

What are you trying to do? Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't imagine anything i'd do on a server where i'd want a GUI.

Even where I could imagine it, there are other options. If you want a graphical file manager, run one in docker or use sshfs to mount it whenever you want. Change config files? Vim. Or nano or whatever if you hate vim. Or spin up a full coding environment whenever you need it and mount in your config files. Just don't leave it running and don't expose it. If you just need a linux desktop for a while, and it's not actually for your server, install a linuxserver.io webtop.

What are you trying to do?

I put my shopping lists into logseq. I have a page called 'shopping' and I have entries for each store, with sub categories for each department. I have todo items for each item I want to buy.

At the top of the page, I have a query for the store that shows items marked 'doing'. So when I want to add 'milk' to my current list, I go down to the 'cold' section, click 'TODO' so it changes to 'DOING', and it shows up on my list. When I put it in my cart, I click the check box and it changes to 'DONE' and it disappears from my list.

It's not exactly polished, but it works well for me, and it fits into a tool I already use.

Ah, but now you have a stack of PiS to screw around with, separate from all the stuff you actually use.
