I ended up with syncthing + the default gallery app on my samsung galaxy phone. It works well for me.

But I don't have a crazy amount of images, the phone storage needs to be large enough.

I just bought one, but I haven't set it up yet. But it looks like it will fit me nicely based on apalrd video https://youtu.be/qML-ct2dGvQ

I tried this, but couldn't find a better editor as android app. The closest I got was Zettel notes. But silverbullet worked better

Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, ..), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions

I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet

My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful

I installed k-9 mail / Thunderbird on my android phone and set it to sync all emails, so I have local copy on my phone

I also have internal only traffic, but I still use let's encrypt. I self signed for a couple of years, but switching to proper certificates made things much simpler and better. Especially on mobile.

I use a combination of my own domain and caddy. and duckdns, since my domain registrar does not have an api caddy can use, but I can point my domain to my duckdns domain and it works 👍

My thoughts too, what makes this alloy so amazing? It seems to me that sapphire is harder, and otherwise similar use cases

No mention/comparison to Sapphire in the article that I could see, disappointing.

Maybe it is the sintering process that makes it interesting, could be easier to shape maybe 🤔

This is what I do, using proxmox.

I do something similar to https://youtu.be/Hu3t8pcq8O0 for the NAS bit. Then I have a VM with docker containers for different services

I use debian now for the first time in years. But the new version just released, so we'll see how long it lasts

I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page

I'm trying it out now 🙂 I didn't know about this one, thanks!

I miss the swipe to mark as read. Otherwise it looks nice, I'll try it for a few days!

I would recommend using one of the distros backed by a big company or have very long track records. They are less likely to break on updates, and have a higher chance of supporting any uncommon hardware you may have.

• Fedora
• Ubuntu
• Mint
• Pop OS

If you have new hardware (e.g. GPU newer than 6 months) you will probably have issues. Follow the recommendations from the hardware supplier, or use something arch based. I used Manjaro a while when I got new hardware.

Besides those tips, you should decide which desktop environment you like best. I prefer gnome, as I enjoy to spend time in apps and not on in settings. Others prefer customization. Have a look at https://youtu.be/09cYQJBgKEs?si=KX8FZeMRcMlPTzG2

It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn't always work.

The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.

I have used both, and syncthing is the most stable in my opinion. But you will get sync conflicts/ duplicates if you work on the same file

For working on markdown files you should additionally look into https://silverbullet.md , it's great 🙂. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline

Yes, sorry - I meant the storage space on mobile phone. or a laptop.

I don't have a solution really, but I'm also thinking along your lines.

For files I share with my girlfriend, I have set up syncthing. So my server and our phones have a copy of the files, I like this solution. But it wouldn't work for large amounts of data.

For my server stuff, it is backed up encrypted on backblaze. so I guess that is lost. Most files are also rsynced onto a usb drive connected to a raspberry pi (not encrypted). So that should be accessible, except for a linux'y filesystem (probably ext4) that doesn't work on windows

I agree. It is under rapid development.

I replaced memos + markdown file editing with silverbullet some months back and I use it more and more. It has optional offline support

Have you considered silverbullet? the documentation uses silverbullet, and is editable (but not persistent) so you can test how it feels

https://silverbullet.md

I tried it briefly, but it doesn't/didn't support disk encryption. For my laptop this is a must, so I'll wait until it is implemented and out of alpha.

I use Debian + Gnome without custom extensions and like it.

I don't use too many programs, so in the overview I have Firefox in position 1, signal in position 2 and steam in 3. Then I use Win+1,2,3 to launch them.

For other programs, I hit Win and then start typing the name and hit enter.

For switching between windows, i use alt-tab or alt-(key above tab). If I have many windows or playing game in full screen, I hit Win-key once and choose the window i want.

I don't use workspaces, never found a good flow. And I rarely miss a taskbar.
