  • "You wouldn't delete someone elses game from their library!"

  • I like Cage better tham Manson, so I was dissapointed once I read the title.

  • That reminds me of this poem:

     
            First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
             Because I was not a socialist.
    
        Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
             Because I was not a trade unionist.
    
        Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
             Because I was not a Jew.
    
        Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

  • As long as you host it yourself it doesn't matter.

  • I was really dissatisfied that notes are always somehow weirdly shared with a propriatary backend. There is jtx Board which uses your CalDAV calendar (Nextcloud, Radicale, etc.) as a backend which is really cool. The UI is also OK, but there seems to be no (Linux) desktop app for that.

    So I started https://github.com/jeena/JNotes because I was curious about developing for GNOME anyway. It's going very slowly - because I am a stay at home dad with a one year old who demands all my attention :D - but it's going forward, but I guess it'll take another year before it's usable ^^.

    Actually I was hoping that there would be more notes apps using standard backends like CalDAV or IMAP, but it's almost impossible to find something, everyone seems to want to implement their own backend and then charge for the synchronization.

  • Thanks for letting me know, with Sync if the picture is too big I often don't realize that it didn't upload it.

  • https://tasks.org/ does it with CalDAV, and you can share different CalDAV calendars with different people, fo example in Next cloud fairly easily, but also with Radicals, a bit more manual.

  • I had to look up on the map where El Salvador is.

  • Back in the day, somewhere in the 90ies my dad took us children and drove 3 hours to Munich - and we went somewhere close to the airport so we could oversee the whole airport - to see the solar eclipse.

    I remember it was so cool, the airport had to turn on the lights on the runways so the airplanes could still operate :D

  • How often do you reinstall your OS? In practice never, I installed Arch around 8 years ago on one computer and that's the install I have today still. I copied it twice to a bigger SSD but that's kind of it.

  • I was just watching this show on Netflix Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones where they visit villages where there are many so called Centenarians and they look at the different studies which try to figure out why so many people in those areas live that long. It's quite interesting. But you can see that very fiew of them are men, it's mostly women who they can interview.

  • ... not complete this sente

  • Yeah that's what I'm doing too. On top of that I have 3 instances, my own at home, the one at my parents house and then another one at their summer house.

  • I don't want to do that because once there are new features you want, upgrading in a big bang is basically impossible because there are too many breaking changes. So it's better at least to fix small things all the time. Also on top of that security updates are very important too.

  • I like home assistant but I feel I'm always so behind with my own instances everything feels very outdated how I have it. But I just have no time to modernize it.
