I'm running a small website on a Cubiebord 1 SBC off my home internet connection. For such a scenario - home server on a desk, non demanding website such as a wiki - an SBC is a winner. Mine has been running since 2013 with no major outages apart from a few SD cards failing along the way (I had backups and a mirror on a cheap VPS). And I purposely choose not to use an SSD or a spinning disk (I could with that particular SBC) to save energy since that thing is always on and idles at around 2Watts. Noise and bulk were also a factor in my choice. There are no moving parts or spare components that can fail and indeed I didn't had any problem in ten years apart from SD cards. For 60€ - case included - it was a good deal.
I've tried many of them and I keep turning to kdenlive, both on linux (my main driver) and windows. I've been using it for years, although occasionally. From my perspective it's the best FOSS NLE out there both in terms of features and stability. For the occasional user it gets the job done. Kdenlive used to crash a lot years ago but I'm not having any issue at all in the last couple of years (while Clipchamp, promoted by MS, crashes all the time).
Kdenlive has been my choice too, despite the fact that I am a GNOME user and find the UI a little strange. I've really tried to like Openshot but it isn't really up to the job.
People sometimes suggest Blender, which is of course high quality software, but most people reaching for a video editor benefit from a tool with fewer options that is more aimed at basic use cases.
One more vote for Shaarli. I just need tagged bookmarks and it does the job while being fast, reliable and simple.
I'm also using the Firefox extension and Android app. Super easy.
Still I run Windows occasionally when I need some specific proprietary apps that are not available on other platforms (mostly electronic design suites).
Well "libera" means free in Italian so it makes sense to me. There are also other projects with sound the same such as libre (spanish I guess) office.
I like it. But I'm biased being from Italy.
Workflow changed with darktable 3 and to get the most out of it I recommend reading this article: https://pixls.us/articles/darktable-3-rgb-or-lab-which-modul...
Many modules - that still work - are now deprecated in favour of RGB workflow new modules. The article above suggests proper alternatives for each of them.
It's mostly the same since 3.x though. The filmic rgb code got a pretty spicy color science update though. I'd even wager it's better than Lightroom in that aspect.
Dokuwiki is fast and bloat free and works great on mobile browsers since 2012. I've been running it on the same single board computer since 2013 (good luck running Wordpress or Nextcloud on that hardware!).
Install is super easy - linux-apache-php and no DB so it runs everywhere - and it hardly needs maintenance(all I do is upgrade every now and then when a new version is released).
It's theme/template may be dull but it's simple, clean and not outdated yet. Moreover it's a wiki, not a blog so... who cares? Content is all that matters!
That said I like choice be it for themes or wiki apps!
Hardly needs maintenance at all was not my experience.
My primary driver for seeking out a new wiki was because of how difficult testing and managing Dokuwiki can be. Updates to the main wiki are infrequent, plugins are often abandoned, and the setup, running, and maintained of the wiki is non-trivial.
I recommended wiki.js is easier to run, uses markdown by default, backs up data as flat files in a git repository, and does not require many resources either. Plus, there's a supported Docker image that works out of the box.
There's no problem with choice. Dokuwiki is frequently recommended to new users and wonder if that wiki is an appropriate recommendation. I explicitly would suggest wiki.js or something similar to someone not already running Dokuwiki.
I've never had an issue in 7 years while upgrading (unpack a tgz file and minor cleaning) so my experience is different. Backup is not an issue because all pages are just text files I can rsync anywhere. Plugins can be updated clicking a button in the admin panel and infrequent updates to the main wiki is a feature to me while all is working fine. In the end it depends of what you use it for and right now I trust this solution and I'm confident it will keep working in the future.
I've looked into wiki.js and its really nice but I doubt I could run it on my hardware and I'd have to install node and Postgres (docker is not my thing, I'm old school!). Anyway the real deal breaker to me is that mathjax support is not there yet and I need formulas.
Dokuwiki will function perfectly for some specific use-cases. The file format and plugins are not something that should be glossed over with Dokuwiki though.
Yes, it's possible to rsync flat files from Dokuwiki to somewhere else, but Dokuwiki files are stored in a unique format. Moving files from one machine to another does not make the format more ubiquitous or easier to parse. The amount of work required to migrate data out of Dokuwiki may be trivial to some very experienced developers but would be neigh impossible for greener developers.
The plugin ecosystem of Dokuwiki is reminiscent of Jenkins. Dokuwiki plugins can do anything, but few seem to do them well or without quirks. Some require updating the CSS and HTML template for a theme. Others require modifying the host system. Few plugins are active, modern, and useful to more than a subset of specialized scenarios. The mobile editors are truly an exercise in frustration for even tech-savvy users.
Dokuwiki is great if you have specialized needs and accept the file format costs. The specialized markup language and plugin ecosystem are a type lock-in that should really be stated more up-front to new and perspective Dokuwiki users. I do recommend Dokuwiki for very particular and specific needs, but not as a general purpose wiki for "most people".
Good news for all the school people that has been using it for learning purposes only (eg my students).
That said there are good alternatives already like jitsi or - time limit apart - zoom.
