Agree. Although Mariadb has drifted significantly (and with very good reason) in terms code, features and SQL - I still mentally parse “Mysql” as “MariaDb”. It’s one of the best forks I’ve ever encountered in all my time using foss. I currently maintain around 80 MariaDb servers and have remarkably few problems.
Much as I like to see variety in software, I do kind of wish more recognition of MariaDb was given, and more support.
It doesn’t need the Dockerfile to run.
Thanks for the feedback, always interesting to hear how people might use a tool like this.
I do have email notifications in the roadmap, but to be honest, I’ve struggled to visualise how that might work for two reasons:
One of Taskpony’s goals is that it’s as easy to install and run as it could be. Configuring email settings takes a lot of detail (especially when running in docker where you can’t rely on a local smtp). I’ve thought about other tools like ntfy.sh, which I love, but the whole ecosystem of dozens of systems and tools for DM style notifications is too wide to support.
I wouldn’t use it like that, I’d use a calendar for distant events, and there’s no plans to support “Task must be done by” style timers, as again, I think the interface would get too complex. I keep Taskpony in a tabbed browser, and also as one of my daily bookmark folders, so it shows up regularly enough to show me.
Out of interest, how would you use notifications, or see how they’d work? Are you thinking of browser notifications? And if so, on what logic might they trigger?
Great that you’re using it!
And yes - sadly koyeb’s demo went down as I posted this link. I’ve quickly thrown up another demo here; https://taskpony.onrender.com/
Indeed, but I love writing in Perl and it still works great. It’s a shame it’s not more widely used.
How much storage would your NAS need? What apps are you running? What’s this all for?
NVME/SSSD is better in every way than HDD (speed, noise, heat and power) but obviously more expensive, especially for larger capacities. Decide whether you can do it with that or need hdd’s, and that then informs what hardware supports either 2x nvme (or 3x if you want separate for OS) or 2x sata.
Don’t get hung up on power costs btw. 500E is a lot of power and you’ll likely never regain that. Rpi is what, 5watts? Laptop somewhere around 5-50? HDDs around 5w average, nvme’s ~1w. Any equivalent hardware or faster is going to use similar power, it’s not like you’re replacing a DL360.
But if you want to replace anyway and NAS/media is your main thing, then perhaps buy a NAS and run docker apps on that. uGreen make some nice ones.
It’s a self hosted web app, and that’s not something that’s easy to change once it’s written. The benefits to self hosting are pretty well established, and this type of thing can be accessed from anywhere in the world by multiple devices and always be in sync. For myself, I use this both from a laptop, my desktop and a phone when I’m out - I’m always jotting down thoughts before they fall out of my head. Also, there’s probably a lot of desktop task apps out there already that do tasks, like many Email clients. I don’t mind reinventing a wheel, but not too keen on reinventing all the wheels.
Demo is a fair point, I’ll include that on the wishlist for the future. I think the pictures probably do a fair job of indicating how a task app works - which is basically a way of entering, displaying and ticking off tasks which many people will be familiar with, but perhaps I’m just over familiar with the concept. A self resettable demo might be nice, yes.
Thank you for the kind words.
Syncing is a tricky one. The universal method seems to be using caldav, so Taskpony would need to support that as an endpoint. But I haven’t investigate this as the android side of things is complicated - or at least, I found it so when trying exactly that. You need to install third party software (DavX5 is the most common) - which is listed as both free via fdroid and paid via GPlay. That provides the syncing which is then available to other things on the device. Not an unsolveable problem, but I found it fiddly, and kept being nagged to register software to get it working.
But I made an early decision not to replicate things that are done well elsewhere. Caldav has lots of options, the best I found is Radicale which provides unlimited tasklists and calendars, but has no interface. That does tie in well with Thunderbird on desktop and other things, but again, the syncing problem exists on Android. Vikunja and TaskTrove are good projects that do support caldav and multi-users if you do want to go that route.
I wanted Taskpony to be simple to set up. Run a docker compose command and visit a URL - that’s it for LAN use. No reliance on other software apart from a web browser. I can’t achieve that and provide syncing or multi users, sorry. Of course, you and your wife can just use the same instance of Taskpony and have different Lists for personal or shared tasks, then everything is always in sync.
I guess it is getting on a bit, and it’s no longer required by Bootstrap - but it is still a dependency of Datatables, which I adore.
Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words!
CAs exist on trust and trust alone.
This, along with any other mistake, erodes that trust and will have damaged Sectigo’s reputation at least as much as Rustdesk’s.
I doubt there’s any conspiracy or higher figure at work here. Just human error.
Rustdesk will probably have a claim for financial losses and good luck if they pursue that - the admission of a mistake and breach of protocol makes it seem likely to be settled very quickly. The tone of this report suggests that this is somewhere they’ll be heading towards and I suspect Sectigo will pay handsomely to make this story short lived.
This is exactly why hes done it.
Why would he give a shit what people think about him? Others rich people don’t because when you’ve got enough money you can insulate yourself entirely from what the world thinks.
You don’t know what hes actually responsible for
Nor do the people judging him so harshly.
You don’t see the pharmaceutical investments hes made
The fuck? Why would he donate money and save countless lives just to benefit from it via some claimed business link?
What a ridiculous argument you’ve made here.
Brave of you to hold a nuanced opinion! So many people have a very binary view of others, and Lemmy’s the same, as the downvoting shows.
And yes, totally, he was a typical morally corrupt businessman and one of the first tech bros in a time before most of Lemmy was even born. But he’s also done a lot of good in the second half of his life. People are dismissive of that but they bloody well shouldn’t be.
Who else has contributed $2bn specifically to fight malaria? Nobody. There’s quite a few now who could have helped but nobody else has. The Gates Foundation has also contributed that much again towards fighting Tuberculosis and AIDs. These are big numbers and they’ve had a real effect. Those of us who live comfortable lives are fortunate where these diseases aren’t everyday killers of friends and family and we cannot fully appreciate the benefit this work has done.
Does this offset his earlier negative behaviour? I honestly think it might do.
Sure, I use them, for three good reasons.
Thanks for the PSA, genuinely. Have paused updates for now for caution. Hopefully it’s nothing.

Personal view: I’d rather you didn’t. One of the benefits of Lemmy over Reddit is that repost bots are at a minimum.
We must be getting popular.
You waited two hours before demanding a reply? Wow. Funnily enough I don’t live at the keyboard and was away doing interesting real world stuff.
Your other question wasn’t relevant to the subject in my view, so although I wasn’t ignoring you, I will now.
Any chance there’s an ip conflict?
