    In my mind at least this would be solved by the "vault" needing to be decrypted with a password every time notes are accessed/saved with the password acting as the key? I'm not terribly well educated on encryption though.

    After some more research it seems that Joplin only E2E encrypts notes at transport and not at rest[1]? e.g. it only stores plain text files on the harddrive just like Obsidian does? This sadly makes it not viable for my use case :/

  • Hey everyone! :) I am currently looking to replace Obsidian with a self-hostable alternative (that preferably also uses Markdown - but it's not a must) but instead of storing the files directly on disk has a way to have all the files within in an encrypted vault / binary format. Reason being I have very very sensitive data that needs to be stored (employee & medically related). I read that Logseq used to support this feature but it has since been deprecated, some light googling didn't surface any results other than that so I would be delighted if anyone had any suggestions! Thanks so much in advance for any and all help! :) edit: Forgot to mention that it needs to support Linux as well as Android

    I have nothing to add except that I absolutely LOVE your comics! I haven't seen a single one that didn't brighten my day - keep doing what you're doing! :)

  • Hey guys, after reading up on selfhosting for weeks now I finally decided to take the plunge today and tried setting up my own nextcloud & jellyfin instances. For this purpose I am using a mini PC. (similiar to an Intel NUC) Now I would like to make both services available to the internet so I could show images to friends while I'm at their place / watch movies with them. The problem is I am currently not very educated on which security measures I would have to take to ensure that my server / mini PC doesn't immediately become an easy target for a hacker, especially considering that I would host private photos on the nextcloud. After googling around I feel like I find a lot of conflicting information as well as write-ups that I don't fully grasp with my limited knowledge so if you guys have any general advice or even places to learn about all these concepts I would be absolutely delighted! Thank you guys sooo much in advance for any and all help, the c/selfhosted community has been nothing but a great resource for me so far!!!

    I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn't be happier!

    99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won't work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup. The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.

  • Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain

    Oh okay, I wasn't sure since you mentioned email forwarding and I saw a couple offerings (like Cloudflare) that only offer email forwarding if I understood correctly.

    Thanks again! I'm gonna check them out.

    Sorry I should have clarified that I'm not just looking to receive but also send emails from botj of the domains that I use.

    Edit: do you mind clarifying why using catchall is a bad idea :)?

  • Hey guys, after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun. Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase. Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

    I would also love to know the app! I actually did the exact same thing except I used my To-Do list app where Reddit is Fun used to be and it has honestly helped already.
