waah··on Joplin – an open source note taking and to-do application with synchronization
The web clipper, which I use constantly in Firefox, is a godsend.

I can capture: full page, simplified page, just the selected text, or just the URL. And then I can edit the resulting document with my own notes, add other links or attachments and etc.

It allows me to take my own notes and build on a collection of bookmarked pages that I can still search and refer to long after the original site has disappeared.

waah··on FreedomBox: Run your digital services from your home
As a newbie to this, I got one of the olimex units with ready-to-go SD Card. I've had it for a couple of years, I think. I've tried various of the apps and have settled on using it as an always-on syncthing node and to run Privoxy on my home network.

To access away from home, it is running a Tor hidden service. Wireguard is also provided, so I'm thinking of trying that out as well. It snapshots, so if I get into trouble with a new app... I roll back. I keep all my syncthing data on an attached usb drive. I realize the SD card won't last indefinitely.

What makes it feasible for me is that installation, configuration, and backup is handled by its web interface. I haven't needed to edit config files.
