Enshittification aside, any new technologies you find yourself relying on/using regularly?

This can be anywhere from hardware or software/apps.

I recently started up a CalDav/CardDav service (radicale, think like your own private Google Calendar and Google Tasks that can also be synced on multiple devices) on a VPS. One step closer to degoogling myself.

    I’m using owncloud for that but (don’t hate me) I’m having to use chatgpt a LOT for the initial configuration. There’s a lot of stuff I’m having to learn to get back into it and it’s really good at searching docs by fuzzy match, pointing out what part of a function block isn’t working, and drafting individual function blocks to experiment with (I’ll comment out the original, paste in the chatgpt one, test it, etc). It’s a much better experience than a decade ago and I haven’t gotten emotionally abused by a more experienced person on stack overflow or reddit once yet.

    I’ve got owncloud running as a lan only service so it just auto syncs my calendar, contacts, and a few folders of documents / pictures I like to keep with me but only whenever I’m home. Right now I’m just also configuring the same old computer to do some basic media / retro gaming on the TV and the hard part right now is configuring magic mirror as it’s idle display to keep hubs and I straight on our calendars and tasks (and show some family photos). Nothing major just as I get back onto Linux after ten years it’s nice to not get called lazy and stupid while I’m learning.
