    After looking at other’s lists I think I am missing a good document server. Emby isn’t the best music and photo server so I could look at improving that, but it has been good enough for those purposes that I haven’t felt like going to the trouble of installing anything else.

    • Aster: Multiseat software for Windows allows several users to work on the same PC.
    • LaunchBox: Frontend for DOSBox, modern PC games and emulated console platforms.
    • Blue Iris: Video security and webcam software
    • Calibre: E-Book management and server
    • Emby: Server for videos, music, audio books, and photos.
    • Firewalla: VPN server, internet monitor and control

    Didn’t see Paperless in these comments yet. Great way to never again search for documents, bills, receipts, warranties, manuals, etc cetera ad nauseam.

    Syncthing - No introduction needed. Couldn’t live without it.

    Healthchecks.io (you can self host this) - Dead man’s switch monitoring for all my automation. Most of my automated scripts hit up a Healthchecks endpoint when they run, and if they fail to hit the endpoint on a regular schedule I get notified. Mandatory for my anxiety.

    One of my favorites is Whoogle, a simple Google search proxy. It accepts search requests and forwards them to Google anonymously, then strips out the AMP links and tracking. There’s even an option for it to use Tor so your IP address changes frequently.

        I used both, I ended up settling on searxng because Whoogle seemed to be unable to retain my settings. Might be something with my cookie configuration, but searxng has no problem remembering my preferences. If that is not a problem for you then they are comparable; Whoogle is pretty simple to get going and works well, searxng is slightly more complicated to set up (but not that much with docker) but has a ton more features.

    Immich for photos (the only proper Google photos alternative) Nextcloud for storing documents and photos (read by immich). Jellyfin to replace Plex.
