So cool to learn about these, thanks! I've tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I've wanted for a while now.

This looks promising, thank you! I'm a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.

Any Travel Log w/Map and Dates? (lemmy.ml)

Curious if there's any travel apps or sites I'm missing that will log your trips, manually or automatically, with the locations on a map along with your dates of visit. I was just hoping to keep track of my trips in a more comprehensive way, and being able to visualize them while also being able to search by timeframe or by each trip would be nice too.

The Polarsteps app does all of this automatically, but it's proprietary and collects a ton of your data. All alternativetos are proprietary as well.

OsmAnd Maps has a great looking tagging system, with different folders and icons. I know everyone here likes it, but as a casual observer it's clunky and I don't know how usable it'll be for this under the free plan that allows 7 map downloads. It looks like I'll have to download maps for every place I've been. Organic Maps allows bookmarks, but has less tagging features than OsmAnd and is also clunky and requires downloads.

Excel / Libre does great in the manual organization of data for trips, locations, and dates, but Excel's maps are meant for data, with charts where you need to choose either a detailed region or worldview chart.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

For real. This one got me the best:

“We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death.”

Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.
