That’s great to see, with the cost of living crisis, just arguing green power is more ethical/better for the environment etc understandably doesn’t cut through - but making the focus the direct improvement of peoples local area and the above a nice side effect is a great way to get buy-in.
You can store an ssh key in Bitwarden or Keepass(XC) easily enough - Bitearden can certainly be configured as the actual source of your ssh keys with only a tiny bit of config effort
I have lots (100s?) of pdfs for ttrpg rules collected over years - storing in folders is enough to separate by game, but fails when a single book is a mix of content - does it go in the adventure, character options or DM folder?
Having a nice UI with tags and searching would help to organise the collection a lot better.
Accessing all of that across any of my devices while the files actually live on my NAS would a be a big improvement - its easy for my laptop & tablet to get out of sync etc
This looks great - thanks for all your efforts! :)
I plan to setup a service to better wrangle all of my many ttrpg PDFs soon and this will definitely be in the mix.
Genuinely heart warming, made my morning.
Strong contender for article.of the year 2026.
For anyone else wondering F-Droid Shortcuts
I’d much rather keep my rc organised, so I just have a pair of aliases to quickly open it in an editor and another to reload.
alias cfge="$EDITOR ~/.bashrc"
alias cfgs="source ~/.bashrc"
I just had a mishap that resulted in a system booting unexpectedly whilst a stick of RAM wasnt seated properly. The stick is dead as a dodo.
It was a Corsair 16GB 3000MHz DDR4 and the price to replace it is slightly more than I paid for a pair of them last year.
Luckily its a bit surplus right now as my NAS rebuild is only 2666MHz max so I can replace it with 2 stick of cheaper used RAM for 2/3 the price of the one replacement.
Prices are nuts right now.
I’ve put down the cash for ECC for my main NAS, but can’t justify it for the offsite backup I’m putting together.
LIDL are owned by a huge German wholesaler who are already dealing in large quantities, their middle aisle products are bought in huge volumes because they have such a laegr foot print of stores, unlike your average hardware shops where you’d otherwise be buying your drill, hedgehog hotel and speciality Greek produce.
Signal is my only instant messenger and I can happily report no issues these days with notifications, that said, I never really noticed them previously and have been using for >3 years.
Occasionally we’ll use Signal whilst on a live call, someone will tell us they messaged on Signal and I’ll get the notification immediately - i.e. I knew when it was sent and received.
This is working smoothly on my grapheneos phone and the desktop client across Linux and Windows.
You’ve opened a rabbit hole I know I’m just going to fall down… thanks netizen!
Setup Fedora woth Btrfs, Snapper and grub-btrfs
I followed this guide to setup snapper on fedora, not too much work involved.
I did initially try their guide on the above plus LUKS encryption but something was amiss in the boot process and I gave up on that rodeo for now.
That was a really good read, thanks for the link!
I’ve just spent the last week with Gadgetbridge for my Forerunner 265.
Previously I had Garmin Connect installed on a separate Android user profile with Google Play Services enabled (GrapheneOS). I would only go in there once a week or so and look at the Garmin info as it synced over.
Gadgetbridge is working pretty well - the great majority of everything I actually cared about viewing is accessible. I also have an always on BT connection for notifications and music controls which I was missing out on before.
That said, there are a few drawbacks
Gadgetbridge often uses bar charts for time-series data where Garmin uses a line chart. e.g. Stress is a series of 1px thin vertical lines with colour to indicate bands. Garmin’s single line which swaps colour is far clearer.
Its easy enough to open the GPX file in an external map viewer, but you can’t see its alongside heart rate etc and the track won’t be heatmapped for speed as in Garmin.
Personally, I’m willing to live with these compromises for the privacy, certainly for another few months trial.
As it seems easy to setup a regular export of Gadgetbridge data, I might make it a coding project to implement better visualisations in Python.
This thing looks like a nightmare.
Can’t wait for my employer to roll us over to Win11 and see Recall rollout to more PCs -.-
I saw this recommended elsewhere on Lemmyna few days ago and have given it a shot after a month or two trying AnySoftKeyboard - its great.
It may not be as obviously feature laden with additional keyboards etc as ASK but it has much better defaults - all of the extra punctuation is where my fingers just expect it to be after a long time on SwiftKey.
ooh, this is great, lets hope there’s some adoption.
Im quite happy with just a few additions to basic markdown, however I’ve been holding off using canvases much because they’re not portable, should Obsidian turn to the dark side so perhaps im missing out.
Any recommended usecases for canvases over notes?
I started trying to use Joplin and couldnt get over it using a database rather than raw .md files. Once I’d added a bevy of plugins the UI really didnt seem to be handling thinhgs well.
I considered VS Code ± Foam and found myself doing a lot of the work baked into Hopping/Obsidian myself, and could see coming a less rich plugin ecosystem once I was done.
Quite happily using Obsidian now and managing my files myself. Glad I can just get on with de-OneNoting now.
Seeing privacy & security taken seriously offsets the lack of OSS for me.
You can also put vim inside VSCode via extensions!
Hey, hey you - you don’t owe an email anything. Just leave it unread.
Feeling inspired to go unsubscribe from a bunch of junk mail and clean up old mail? Go for it.
But you shouldn’t waste a second of your time feeling obligated to deal with emails sent largely by automated marketing campaigns.
At work I spend time to organize my inbox, its a necessity, on my personal email, I get security alerts & banking into separate folders, that’s about it, I don’t waste a moments thought on the unread count.
