Web 1.0 is back, baby!

@randomgeek and everything is hosted on some huge provider's mainfram^Wcloud.

working on my raspberry pi beowulf cluster

@randomgeek @rysiek @ArneBab Somehow, I misread this as "Blackberry Beowulf cluster." I thought we were doing a mashup of the classics but it's the wrong fruit.

@rysiek yes … we won something last time (but now we have the intel management engine in most computers). We’ll have to fight again …

I've been experimenting lately with Nextcloud, a browser version of LibreOffice that lets you self-host but also collaborate in real time.

I'm not ready to give it a review/recommendation yet, but so far it does what it says on the tin.

@Rose_On_Mars @randomgeek over the last decade I had set up 5 or 6 different instances of Nextcloud, all are still running, and I still admin 3 of them myself.

Nextcloud is great. Welcome to the Nextcloud club. 

@rysiek @randomgeek

I like it so far. I do have the concern that my security isn't as solid as stuff maintained by specialists.

The thing I actually like best so far isn't the self-hosted part I originally came for, but rather the solid support for Markdown, since a bunch of my workflow is built on exporting from Obsidian.

That's a valid concern, but also, you are a much smaller and less interesting target. And "specialists" screw up all the time:

And yes, Markdown support is something I love in Nextcloud! I need to try Obsidian, heard great things about it.
