Hi all, I need your expertise please :)

tldr: I'm looking for something to create and share lists with my wife, but that also allows her to edit them, preferably with a WYSIWYG editor, on both our Android devices and Windows and Linux computers. To complicate things, I help to run a small music festival, and some sort of collaboration tool would be helpful there too. Joplin looks great, but I can't figure out the collaboration without using their server.

The longer version is, I'm taking my family to visit the in-laws, and was making a list of things we need to take. I have complicated medical needs, and my kid is autistic, so there are things that we cannot forget. I realised that a list that we can both work on would be better, and would be something that we could use in the future for things like medical appointments.

While I was looking for some software, I realised that it would also be helpful for the music festival committee.

I'm looking for something that we can edit on any device, and have the changes show up immediately on any other logged in device. I want anyone with permission to be able to edit the document too. Ideally it needs a WYSIWYG editor, and needs to be simple to use once it's set up.

Joplin looks great, but it's not clear whether collaboration is only available through Joplin Cloud, or whether it's available with a self hosted server.

Etherpad and Padland look good, but Etherpad doesn't currently have mobile support, and I can't tell whether Padland is standalone or needs Etherpad to work.

I'm happy to self host something, but the simpler it is to run and use, the better :)

Thanks for reading through all of that :D

Hi all :)

I've been playing Minecraft with the family, and running a local PaperMC server for a while now, and last year set up an online server with the Oracle free tier. I've had a load of failed login attempts recently, and the server crashed. I don't know if they were related, but it made me realise that I've missed a few steps during the setup.

I have a domain that points to the server through Cloudflare, so it's easier to share, and I've got a whitelist / allowlist of Minecraft users to keep it private. My thinking is that this is what I want:

Domain name through Cloudflare to stop things like DDoS attacks, and to have https certificates (might need LetsEncrypt too?).

PaperMC server running on an Ubuntu server on Oracle's free tier. 2 cores and 10GB RAM should be enough for less than a dozen players.

Pterodactyl control panel to manage the server through a GUI from anywhere.

Firewall / block to stop connections from outside the UK. Hopefully that should restrict bots and malicious login attempts.

I've got a handful of plugins that I use, like Geyser / Floodgate and ViaVersion so the kids can log in from any client, and Dynmap so I can view the map and help them out if needs be. I've got CoreProtect and ServerBackup too. I've got OpenAudioMC so that the kids can speak to each other without putting them on something open like Discord, as they're too young for that.

I'm looking into AutoPlug at the moment to keep the plugins up to date, but I don't know if it runs with Pterodactyl or not.

Am I missing anything obvious? I'm happy with the gameplay side of things for now, but I could do with some advice on keeping everything secure.

Thanks in advance :)

Went out on a rare clear night to a wetlands near me to take some photos of the stars. As it was so dark, and the stars are so small, I had to rely on the focus peaking function of my camera to tell if the stars were in focus or not.

I've got home and started to process the photos, and I've found out that despite the camera telling me that they were in focus, they clearly weren't.

Hey ho, what's a wasted few hours in the freezing cold between friends...

Apologies if this is a simple question and I've missed something, but I'd like to be able to use Voyager on my PC.

If I just log in on my browser, I only get logged in to my home instance. If I use wefwef.app, I can browse like I'm on my phone, but without my preferences and block list.

Is there a way to use Voyager and sync my preferences, block list, subscriptions etc?

A few years ago I bought an old Mac, PowerPC I think, but it doesn't work properly. If I boot normally only one of the two CPU cores works, but both work in safe mode.

I imagine that there are ways to repair it, but as it's second hand, I would probably be better off with a clean installation. I've never owned a Mac before, so although it's outdated, I'd rather get it back to a default state than install Linux, and it also means that once I've finished with it I can pass it on to someone else who would appreciate it.

Is there a way to get the installation media? From what I remember from the last time I tried to get it running, it can use either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion (10. something?)

Thanks in advance :)
