Half off-topic, sorry: if you have some spare time on the weekend, you might want to take a look at nftables. AFAIK iptables is also just using nftables under the hood, so you are basically using a deprecated technology.

nftables is so much nicer to work with. In the end I have my custom rules (which are much saner to define than in iptables) in /etc/nftables.conf, then I have a very simple systemd unit:

[Unit]
Description=Restore nftables firewall rules
Before=network-pre.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nft -f /etc/nftables.conf
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/nft flush table inet filter
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and finally if I push updates via ansible I simply replace the file and run nft -f /etc/nftables.conf (via ansible; on-change event).

Edit: oh and as an example how the actual rules file looks like:

#!/usr/bin/nft -f

add table inet filter
flush table inet filter

table inet filter {
  chain input {
    type filter hook input priority 0;

    # allow established/related connections
    ct state {established, related} accept

    # early drop of invalid connections
    ct state invalid drop

    # allow from loopback
    iifname lo accept

    # allow icmp
    ip protocol icmp accept
    ip6 nexthdr icmpv6 accept

    # core services
    tcp dport {80, 443} accept comment "allow http(s)"
    udp dport 443 accept comment "allow http3"

    # everything else
    reject with icmpx type port-unreachable
  }

}

and with that I have my ipv4+6 firewall that allows pings and http

The shopping list alone is beautifully done. Glad that I could help 🙂

Regarding your requirement, you might want to take a look at KitchenOwl.

If you prefer freestyle notes/lists, Joplin can share and sync note collections as well.

KDE is one of the main reasons for me to use Linux. I immensely like the performance, silence and battery lifetime of MacBooks. But if I have to work with anything but KDE, it’s not worth it for me. The only thing OSX does better than basically any other desktop out there, is the ability to drag whole virtual screen between monitors.

Although to be fair, WSL fixes that issue to a big degree. Maybe even better than OSX, since you get a real Linux with real userspace. WSL(2) might be the only really cool feature Microsoft added to Windows, that actually brings value for the user.

I still rank OSX higher, simply because it’s at least consistent. Windows is a fucking mess.
