Thank you! Your tech analysis mirrors much of my own and your build of matrix mirrors some proofs I’m working. It is wonderful to see what others are doing. Thank you for sharing.

I am hosting on vultr and deployed synapse, postgres, and a signal bridge on a 2 gb mem, single core VM. It is simple but effective for learning. It is about 12$ per month.

My next build will be docker based. Reverse proxies are a weakness of mine so I am trying to upskill before I make the change and advertise my setup as prod to family and friends :)

I’d prefer to run everything from my homelab, but I don’t have the infosec confidence to open my home network. The costs of cloud will never beat the salvaged comps I get at university surplus ;_;

I used Fitbook on fdroid for a bit. The best feature was support for weighing food to get calories.

My biggest frustration with apps today is the lack of support for home cooking. I cook most all food but it is a pain get nutritional information unless it comes from a box.

Ive been trying to find a tool that will let me dump in all ingredients by volume/weight so I know the caloric value of a meal. CooksIllustrated uses this https://api.edamam.com/ but I can’t find an easy way to bring dishes from magazines or cookbooks to it

Ive used it and love it. I convert PDFs I read for work to ebooks and then audiobooks. Then I listen to the content at the gym and count it as work hours :)

Nothing beats a good narrator, there will always be a place for performance and folly noise. This is a useful tool for the content you have to consume
