#142Depends how you define self hosted but I use Easy Gmail Scheduler (https://github.com/RayBB/easy-gmail-scheduler). To send gmail messages later without any third party.
Disclosure: I made the app.

Self-hosted option absolutely annihilates Chart.io and Periscope Data on pricing.

#145InvoicePlane is a superb tool that I regularly use for writing, sending and tracking of the invoices that I send to my clients: https://invoiceplane.com/ I wish it had a proper API, though.
I was using InvoicePlane but then switched to InvoiceNinja for the accessible RESTful API! There's even a converter for it Plane -> Ninja.

Is KeeWeb new? I went through an extensive search for a new password manager a few months ago when I transitioned from macOS to Arch Linux and yet I've never heard of it. I ended up settling on Enpass which is decent but not perfect. KeeWeb looks nice though, how do you like it?
About KeeWeb vs KeePass:
KeeWeb is a drop in replacement for KeePass, it uses the same format, so you can use the same Android clients to open the same file. IMHO It's a lot better than KeePass, especially if you are in Linux.
KeeWeb is written in JS with desktop apps using Electron. I moved away from KeePass to KeeWeb because, although KeePass was first, it is old now, it was written for Windows and then ported using Mono to Linux.
As it uses Mono for Linux, that generates some issues. For example, I couldn't copy a password from the interface and paste it in a Terminal (I'm not sure if it was because I use Tmux all the time). It handles the clipboard in weird ways. I had to paste it somewhere else, like the browser and then copy it from the browser to paste it in the Terminal. With KeeWeb it works normally.
Recently they added support for a plug-in that creates a local server compatible with the one created by plug-ins in KeePass. It can then be used by Chrome extensions like: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromeipass/ompiai...
That last part is what made me finally decide to go for KeeWeb instead of KeePass. It gives you "LastPass" like functionality in the browser while you keep being the one that handles your encrypted DB. And then you can store that file in Dropbox, so that you have access to it everywhere.

#147Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks for the input, I've got all servers at OVH at the moment and support is, well, ~3 days.
Yeah, I'm not surprised. I've stopped using OVH around 5 years ago for this and other stuff (they changed prices and options of an offer while already subscribed). My day job company is still using them but we're moving to Online because the support at OVH really, really sucks. Also their network is less stable than Online's.
That's really good to know! Thanks for that :)
