Maybe unpopular opinion here, but I just read The Three Musketeers, and it’s not even close to The Count of Monte Cristo.

The characters wildly change in tone and basic morals, the heroes are dirtbags, and the plot wanders.

I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn’t the same.

There’s a chain near me that makes a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, white cheddar, a really excellent garlic aioli, and Ciabatta bread.

I go there way too much.

Fringe is great. Season 1 is a bit “Monster of the week” but when it gets going it’s a great ride.

If you haven’t seen it, Ex Machina (2014) fits the vibe of your list. It’s one of my favorites.

The Punt for Red October

(Assuming American Football)

It has my favorite user interface, but I feel that it bogs down after viewing a series of images. I also feel that development has stalled a bit (edit, I was mistaken: they just released a pre release).

I haven’t found a better one, though. Next best so far has been Racoon.

This doesn’t exactly match your goals, but you may be able to adapt it or take pieces from it.

I have containers running on two subnets:

1. LAN + Tailscale
2. LAN only

Subnet 1 has a DNS server, which resolves all of my services to IPs on either subnet.

I have Tailscale set up on a machine as a subnet router (directing to Subnet 1).

Result:

1. When local, I can access all services on the LAN with local DNS entries, both Subnet 1 and 2.
2. When remote via Tailscale, I can access all services on Subnet 1 with the same local DNS entries. I cannot access services on Subnet 2.

This is nice because my apps don’t care which network I’m on, they just use the same URL to connect. And the sensitive stuff (usually management tools) are not accessible remotely.

It’s also ridiculously simple: Only one Tailscale service is running at home.

This does not solve your issue of broadcasting vs not broadcasting, though. There’s probably other things missing as well. But maybe it’s a start?

Logseq has an Android app and clients for the usual desktop platforms. It stores as .md files. It meets your requirements. I’m not sure why you’re focused on Firefox support?

One I have my eye on is Silverbullet.md. the creator recently promoted it here and it has some nice ideas. It’s a web app that you self host. Behind the scenes everything is stored in .md files.

This is very cool, and I’ve been watching the project for a month or so.

I like the query setup and the templates look very interesting. One of my biggest complaints about Logseq is how much of a pain simple query operations can be.

A few things make me hesitate a bit:

• I’ve been burned on single-dev passion projects in the past.
• As a self hosted web app, it’s a bit more difficult to manage on a company owned machine. I know Electron apps get hate, but that would ease some pain here.
• The rapid pace of development is both exciting and worrisome. For example, a recent update completely changed the underlying templating engine from a well-known open source solution to a custom solution. I worry if I rely on this, something might catch me by surprise.

What are your thoughts on those concerns, OP?
