I didn't remember you can actually build a structure without putting it on concrete slabs.

Anyways, It's a marvellous work of love.

What I was thinking, too. But the description of the design process by OP was interesting to read.

This doesn't allow to add events nor it stores anything, it's just to print, right? Thanks all the same!

If you look at the traffic, it doesn't send anything (I could test) to its server, and there are entries in browser's local storage.

Wonderful. I wish there was the possibility to sync data among browsers, but that would probably defy the whole purpose of this. Is there a repository?

I implemented something similar as a caddy module, then I realized that if I was connected to a public wifi network I was actually authorizing the whole bunch of people that were connected to it with me. How do you avoid this, or is it just not important?

Northern Italy here, I have a tree of nespole and it's pretty common even. Not the most common, but not forgotten here.

The first and the last two positive comments are from physicists…? And: if it explains something the other theory does not, maybe it’s worth considering, and applying the scientific method to. It may be bulls**, it may be that some pieces of it have merit, this is how science works. I think.

Not even an AI, there are simpler ways. But as an italian, I will be in the pitchforks-armed horrified mob if this will be proposed. Not a chance.

I’ve been self-hosting it for three months now, and I am happy. I came from Joplin; I lost the offline access, but it’s much more “expressive” and nice, so to speak. I don’t miss any other feature, even in the pro version. Doesn’t depend on other docker containers, I just used authelia for auth, and while it uses its own file format I backup the data volume and it’s possible to export manually in simple markdown. The web UI is responsive for mobile use and yes, I am happy. Fits my case better than the others.

I wonder why the error in nomenclature… it’s Palazzo Te, from the name of the islet, but even English Wikipedia gives “palazzo del te”, that would mean “of the tea”. Very nice place nevertheless.
