You can sync Obsidian with your own storage location. There are plugins to do a lot of what you’re asking for. Downside is that it’s not open source, though your content is all stored in plaintext so you won’t lose it due to lock-in. It also might be more than your asking for and a simpler, more tailored, solution may be out there. Paired with a self hosted Nextcloud server, you may solve a bunch of your PIM needs at once.
The local aspect isn’t there for most of us.
As a somewhat regular user of the Colorado outdoors, I hope we get a Colorado Hike & Bike community. I know there’s at least a few of us because we’ve discussed Denver biking in the fuckcars community before.
As far as finding replacements, my advice is don’t limit yourself by platform when finding equivalents, but focus on the quality and type of the community.
To clarify,
Early on I kind of mapped centralized and federated social media pairs, Reddit-Lemmy, Facebook-Diaspora, Twitter-Mastadon, etc.
Turns out, that was a limiting mindset.
The best basket-weaving group might be a Mastadon hashtag. The best Lego minifigure painting content might be on Pixtagram, and we all know he best place to ask a question is not askreddit, but asklemmy!
Depends on if they grew older or cooler with the years!
Mid-30s male here. I’ve been rocking the shoulder length to armpit length rock and roll hair. Many of the boomers give me a hard time, but everyone under 40 loves it.
Edit: I rarely give endorsements, but I would have cut my hair years ago without CurlSmith conditioner and intense serum.
I don’t have an answer for you, but I do want to say: great question.
I borrowed a Mazda 3 with the joystick dial a few times. It’s absolutely brilliant.
Thank you for sharing. I recently did another round of degoogling/deamazoning/etc. and I haven’t shared my results yet, but you have many of them here! Good list.
I’m in the same boat. I have to change it every now and then to break the visual fatigue of staring at the same theme for weeks. I miss Compiz with Emerald and whatever we were using 5-10 years ago. Themes are less transformative nowadays. I used to have crazy themed and now it’s hard to find something that isn’t just a recolor of a fairly plain theme.
Having said that, someone shared this great theme roundup here on Lemmy a while back. I used the purple one and now the Solaris color one. https://quickfix.es/2023/10/going-off-theme-the-prologue/
I think they are saying the other way around, their caps lock activates Ctrl. I have mine set up as a left hand backspace. KDE has a number of built in options for this where you just need to tick a box to activate it. I miss it a lot on my work PC (windows)
I’m in the US, so it comes down to insurance. Can I be on my Spouse’s insurance during that time? How much would I have to pay to do COBRA insurance for 3 months (For non-us folks, this allows you to continue your insurance for a few months after leaving a job but tends to be very expensive as you have to pay your part and the company’s part)
As a general principal, I’d rather have the time than the money.
Looks like we’re monetizing pedestrian fatalities now.
Honestly, I was surprised at the lack of compatability issues. It had less issues than any custom ROM I’ve used, and I’ve used a LOT of custom ROMS over the years.
I had to toggle off the anti exploit hardening for a few apps, but I eventually just ditched those apps and replaced them with their respective websites or with FOSS equiviliants.
Flashing the ROM was easier than my older Android phones too.
Just disrupting the tracking/advertising pipelines a little bit is reason enough to use GrapheneOS. Everything else it does is just an epic bonus for me.
Thanks for sharing. As a frequent cyclist who loves cheese and doesn’t drink soda or eat many sweats, I feel like this will be an interesting read.
The food has been impregnated with microplastics as well. This machine runs on sugar, but someone put oil in the tank. :-/
I used a Palm Zire 31 and Later a Dell Axim 51v (Windows Mobile) in high school. People thought I was weird, but it kept me organized. I miss how simple and functional those programs were. This was largely pre-enshittification. No built in keyboard on either, but physical buttons alone are a strength.
I’m running Nextcloud and PaperlessNXG on my servers. Over the last few months I tested out my remote management. Now that I’m back home, I’ve been making a few adjustments based on my learnings. Firstly, Wireguard is slower than a turtle, while Tailscale has been a little bit faster. I’m guessing this is due to my upload speed and switching to fiber may fix this.
I’d also like to add TubeArchivist back in since there’s some great videos that I don’t trust Google to preserve given the direction things are going.
The folks on the “privacy” Lemmy gave me some good tips on app replacements and after making a big spreadsheet with all my apps, their licenses, etc., I cut down my remaining proprietary apps by at least 50% and I only have a few proprietary essentials that still depend on Google Play. I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time and I almost have a path towards completely removing all Google, Amazon, and Microsoft products from my life.
Next, I’d like to set up Wander to eventually get rid of Garmin/Strava but I haven’t been able to figure it out and I’m still locked in to some degree because of my hardware (Garmin watch). The Ring doorbell has to be the next thing to go, but I’m exhausted and haven’t had the motivation to start a new project until the dust settles from the last one.
I have an XPS 13 9370 that has been great for my particular preferences. Having said that, I won’t buy another one. When it finally dies (on my third battery and still going strong) I will go for something more open, repairable, and Linux focused, maybe Framework or System76.
Get what you can afford. In many cases, Linux running on a potato will outperform and outlast a more expensive machine running windows for basic use tasks.
I heard great things about the Pebble from someone who had one.
Personally, I had a few different smart watches and learned a bit about what I want over the years:
This made me realize a few things:
To be fair, this is MY use case and yours may differ, but when it comes down to it, I’m sure that I’m not in the market for a wearOS or Apple Watch. I love the button operated TFT screen Garmin watch I’ve been using for a few years and if I don’t replace it with another Garmin watch, it’ll be something like Pine Time, Pebble, or something that works with gadgetbridge.
I’ve been a Linux user since 2005ish and a DJ since at least 2013. I’ve tried a lot of music players including Rythmbox. I settled on Clementine/Strawberry or Amorok, depending on use case. Haven’t used either of them recently.
With that said, there is no right answer. Find one you like!
