Thank you for your response! That’s really good advice. I can hold off for a bit, Joplin is my main service that I’ll need to be able to reach, but can keep using Dropbox to sync for now.

One thing that I haven’t quite sorted is our todos. We use Todoist right now, and it’s really great, but would like something self hosted. I haven’t found anything that has both an iOS and android app though, except Nextcloud. Any suggestions? I was contemplating just using Nextcloud to start to keep things simple, and then adding different services later, but Yunohost seems like a better solution.

Building my home server. I have all the parts but the sheer amount of different ways to set it up and all the things I need to learn to keep it safe. Especially now that all that (waves hand around) is happening, it’s so important I get on it. It kinda makes me want to cry. My brain isn’t as sharp now that menopause has hit, remembering things is really hard. Though my dr got me on a different regime of my adhd meds so hopefully that will help. Anyways, sorry for the ramble.

*I have looked at the self hosted and privacy communities, I think I’m going to go with Yunohost. It’s the internet part I’m worried about more.

Sure, ask away

It’s much appreciated! No rush at all!

Oh yes please! Your absolute favourite soup would be a wonderful start.

Edit: Here is my favourite fish chowder. Let me know if you can’t open the link, can send a pdf too. I use bento flakes instead of clam juice, a half a packet is perfect.

That soup looks delicious! And it’s one I can eat as I’m allergic to tomatoes. I’m going to try it this weekend :)

I love that yall have such an appreciation for kale, it doesn’t get as much love in North America. Yet another reason I’d like to visit!

Its real name is Lacinato kale, it’s my favourite!

Edit: I like to use this in place of spinach, in lasagnas, soups, salads. Nettles are another favourite. I forage in the spring, steam them to get rid of the sting, and then freeze them in balls. Then I just add a ball to soups or whatever when I need. Also can save the steaming water for stocks.

Thank you! It reminds me of the dinosaur kale I have in my garden now. Also able to pick leaves as you need them, and overwinters here well (BC, Canada). I’ll do some more looking into it!

What variety of cabbage is this? What zone does it grow in? Thanks!
