I can only imagine that EU is just quietly finding ways to not be dependent on the US right now.

What Trump is doing/does is unacceptable. But US citizens have been groomed to accept everything from their perceived leader.

EU has not been groomed to accept these things. They know to just ignore while they can and get ready for a trade war, cold war, or any sort of war.

Does anyone know about any other self-hosted/open source projects that are like this? As in, “everyone” could find these useful?

Other ones I know about are Mealie (cookbook) and Warracker (Warranty Tracker).

Good.

Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.

This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.

Now… well… there is no escape apparently.

I am completely honest, this is an open question, why do we care what his opinion is? Does he hold any real power in this?

Hello, I am also new at self hosting semi recently. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once your over the hump, it gets a lot better.

First, 100% use docker desktop if your using windows. Most github projects have a docker file you can use. This will take out 90% of the setup required and you don’t have to worry about applications not working on your computer. Thats the point of docker, to remove the “doesn’t work on my computer” problem.

Here are some independent github projects that I found useful for me and were simple to setup.

• excalidraw - digital whiteboard. You don’t need to self host this, but its a fun little project. You can just go to excalidraw.com and have 100% of the same features (it is all saved in your browser’s cache).
• mealie - I cook a lot so this is a nice ‘permanent’ cook book to have.
• warracker - I always forget what I have warranties on, so this will be helpful for me.
• Arr projects like sonarr, radarr, Jellyfin - sonarr and radarr is a good project to sink your teeth into (do not recommend using docker for this, I had issues with my docker container connecting to my external drives because I have Windows Home edition). This ecosystem is usually everyone’s first project along with pihole since its so useful. Sonarr and radarr will probably take you a week or weekend, Jellyfin will take like 5 min.
