  • Those of you who don't wash your hands after going to the bathroom, why?

    Jump

  • For the people that say their junk is clean from shower, do y'all not get swamp crotch like at all? Just stays clean and dry down there all day no matter what? Lucky bastards if so, but I find that highly unbelievable. And no errant droppage after going? Resheath and "oh no! Strays hit the ultra clean barrier!"?

  • Backup solution comparision

    Jump

  • I've been using Duplicacy. I pay for the GUI because I still struggle with CLI-only tools.

    Interested to see what others suggest though.

  • What's your current situation with Google?

    Jump

  • What does the profile switching look like on Graphene? I see people talk about it but haven't seen it touched on as far as day to day usage. I just bought a pixel and am curious to try it out.

  • Benefit of AI?

    Jump

  • I can see some value using AI. I treat it like a search engine, since Google, DDG, Bing, etc all seem to suck now favoring ads and purchased result slots rather than finding what you're looking for. Using AI helps since it's doing several searches for you. But as others have said, the results can be flawed, particularly when searching for niche topics.

    I have zero coding experience and used ChatGPT (I think) to vibe code a simple battery GUI for my Thinkpad running linux since the OS version I had would not display the internal and external batteries separately. Technically it worked, but it looked and ran like ass.

    Ultimately I think it falls apart when things go wrong and trying to coax the robot to help you get your way out of trouble, which can be very problematic.

    Calibre 9.0 Open-Source Ebook Manager Released

    Jump

  • It has a significantly better UI than Calibre, no question. I only use it to manage my ebook library and send them to my various Kindle email addresses. I can't compare any more advanced features because I didn't use them in Calibre and I still don't in CW.

  • FOSS Day One Journal Alternative

    Jump

  • I gave up on FOSS alternatives and journal exclusively in Obsidian. it's not open source, but the file format is simple text files. Which for me, was a must.

  • PSA: Nova Launcher added Facebook and Google Ads tracking

    Jump

  • Someone else just mentioned Octopi in another thread. I don't know much about it but downloaded it a few minutes ago and seems like a viable alternative to Nova.

  • Best way to search files on remote server?

    Jump

  • Would Papra work for you? I like it better than Paperless-NGX personally, which others have mentioned. But I'll admit I'm not sure it'll fit in your use case as I'm feeding it newly scanned documents for mine rather than existing file/folder hierarchy.

  • Anyone know of a linux tasks app that can open the json backup files from Tasks.org?

    Jump

  • Yep, same here. Works well.

  • Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • I like the way Pop!_OS looks. Not gonna pretend it's the best. But as far as default UIs, it clicked with the most. Default gnome seemed too spartan and all of the Windows-like DEs remind me too much of Windows. Which I don't like. If that makes sense.

  • Keeping track of different targets in terminal

    Jump

  • That's a great idea. Do you have it persist between sessions? Like one server #1 it's always green?

  • Keeping track of different targets in terminal

    Jump

  • Hey that's super helpful, thank you. Definitely going to try this out.

  • Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner?

    Jump

  • I'm still a beginner myself, but from my experience I'd say skip Nextcloud at least to start with. I found even the AIO version confusing to set up. Hell, I still do. I have the NextcloudPi image running on a Pi4 but am actively looking for a replacement because it runs like crap on that hardware and I don't need all of the features it offers/tries to cram into one service.

    I'm leaning towards FileRun. Yeah, you have to pay for it once. But so far it seems to be the best alternative that doesn't try to do too much. And yes, I tried Owncloud Infinite Scale, before everyone jumps on me :)

    Keeping track of different targets in terminal

  • goodbye plex

    Jump

  • Oh nice! I'll check it out.

  • goodbye plex

    Jump

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them out. One thing that I hate is critical for me is integration with Android auto. It's the last Google service I can't seem to quit. Might have to give up and just roll with Bluetooth instead.

  • goodbye plex

    Jump

  • I want to leave too, but I really like PlexAmp for my music streaming. And no, Finamp doesn't work nearly as well or look as nice.

  • What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?

    Jump

  • Wai Wai World 2 on Famicom emulator. Don't need to know any Japanese to play and it has great cartoony sprites.

    Bubble Bobble (NES) is great two player, though you're competing

    Buster Bros (PsOne, and probably others) probably one of my top 5 co-op games of all time

    Micro Mages (retro despite being released in 2019 because it plays on original NES hardware) probably top co-op of all time for me

    There's quite a bit more but have various degrees of violence so won't recommend those (Contra, Heavy Barrel, Silk Worm, Jackal, Life Force, etc)

  • looking to migrate off gmail finally

    Jump

  • Same. I love that mail, calendar, contacts, notes, and files are all in one snappy app. I left proton because their android app was soooooo slow on android.

  • [niri] Gruvbox Setup

    Jump

  • I do love me some gruvbox. First thing I switch with a new install of Obsidian, or anything else that has it....
