this is your fault.

So they killed those kids on purpose?

That’s what I do, just pointing out that it’s factually incorrect to say there’s no point to chromium. Everyone’s just proselytizing, probably the same nerds who mock apple fanboys.

I picked up obsidian because it is a perfect diary app w/ templates and daily notes built in. But it’s so damn customizable that my obsidian notebook has become an all consuming passion of knowledge base and personal project managment that requires me to be productive IRL to generate more content for me to catalogue. Really appeals to the data hoarder in me, been a game changer. Highly recommend. Perfect 5/7.

Personally, I have a dedicated realm for testing. Its an environment with a bunch of cool integrated magic I use for developing spells.

I have multiple servers with about two dozen self-hosted services I run. It all started ten years ago, torrenting shows and then automating. And now everything in my life is self-hosted and backed up. But if I showed my current configuration to me 10 years ago, it would look undoable, completely out of reach. So my suggestion to you is to pick one project that you like, build it. Make mistakes. Fix those mistakes. If you want to access it from outside your network, use WireGuard so that nobody else can have access to your system and find your mistakes for you.

Don’t ask for advice. Don’t ask for opinions. That’s like going into a religion conference and asking which is the right God. You’re going to have a bunch of very passionate people telling you a bunch of things you don’t understand when all you want to do is tinker. So fuck all those people, just start tinkering.

Finally, Don’t host any mission critical shit until you have backups that are tested after multiple iterations. I have fucked up so bad that I have had to reformat discs. I have fucked up so bad that data has just gone missing. I have fucked up so bad that discs have overflowed with backups and corrupted the data and the backups themselves. It was all fun as shit. Because none of it was important. Everything important was somewhere else. The only rule is the 3-2-1 rule, otherwise go fuck up and come back when you dead end on an issue.

Pro tip, use ZFS and take snapshots before you make any changes. Then you can roll back your system if you fuck up. I just implemented it this year and it has saved me so many headaches.

I have my books on a remote share managed with a local calibre install on my desktop for easy transfer

Just set up a Joplin cloud server for me and my buddy to do a writing project. It’s the most robust open source solution I could find for the situation and so far it is meeting every expectation.

You could use a different service like one cloud or google and encrypt your data. Or you could get a pi, run it as a mini server, and run any number of docker containers from joplin cloud to nextcloud, or a simple webdav server.

I am so giddy for when OpenStreetMaps becomes a viable GPS use case. Right now I’m using Waze, making it my last Google product on my phone.

I switched to graphene so these make sense. I agree, though, if Google is baked in to your OS you’re pissing in to the wind trying to stem the flow of data to them.

I just went into Droidify to make sure all my simple apps stopped auto-updating and they all already had ignored new versions checked. Is this something I did or is this something Droidify did or is this something the f-droid repository did? If it’s the one of the latter two that’s pretty cool.

Saying notepad is an IDE is like saying a wheel is a car. While yes, a car uses a bunch of wheels and you can get movement by using a wheel, a wheel is not a car.

Yes, IDE’s involve text editing. And yes, you can code in any text editor that outputs a correct file format. But that doesn’t make every text editor an IDE.

It’s not tomato:tomAhto. It’s more like tomato:pizza.

Open source, lots of features, self hosted sync. If you’re happy in the apple ecosystem its probably not for you, their system works well. But if you aren’t knee deep in apple already or just want complete control of your data its pretty dope.
