  • 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?

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Removed

    Looking for a Safe, Super Open Source (and also cheap if not free) Journaling app. Any Recomendations?

    Jump

  • Want switch to linux

    Jump

  • I have spent so much time professionally in Windows over the years that when I decided to switch it had to look nothing like it. So Mint is out. Kde as a whole really. Vanilla gnome looks kinda sterile to me. So I ended up with Pop!_OS and have been happy so far.

  • Fedora suspend wakes up immediately

    Jump

  • Do you have a Gigabyte motherboard in your PC? I'm battling the same with Pop!_OS that is related to Gigabyte mobos of a certain model. There is a fix, but I havent been able to get it to work and haven't had time to find out why.

    Specifically the B550 model(s).

  • The last note taking app you'll ever need

    Jump

  • Awful app

  • "They just have to read the documentation"

    Jump

  • That's where I went. Happy with my choice. Almost 2 years now.

  • What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • I was poking around the Raspberry imager utility and they had RISC OS, which is and old operating system that was apparently fairly popular in the UK, but I'd never heard of it in the US. I loaded it up on my Pi 1 and had fun exploring it. Not exactly useful, but cool to mess with: RISC OS

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • Seafile. It's super fast and lightweight. There are some caveats though:

    • Data is stored in git-like chunks on the server side. There is Seafuse and Sea drive functions that you can leverage to "assemble" the data on server side for backups. I personally use rclone mount, then backup.
    • Paywall hiding some features. The community edition is free but is missing some features that pro has. Pro edition is free for 3 or less users.
    • Documentation isn't great. The forum is active so that's helpful, but some of the docs take some time to understand
    • Chinese owned. As far as I can tell, there is no call home for a self hosted server, so I don't think it's a worry in that case.

    All that said, I like it much better than Syncthing for it's selective sync. All files on each client are synced to the server. But unlike Syncthing, it doesn't sync all data with each client. This is vital for me with some devices with small storage drives, so I would t want all files to sync. Yet I can still reach to the server from any client and pull data from any other client. Syncthing has an ignore flag, but that seemed way more trouble to setup than just sticking with Seafile.

  • Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?

    Jump

  • I work from home, so the last thing I want to do on my leisure time is sit at the same desk I've sat at for the last 8 hrs. So I lounge on the couch and play through my huge steam deck library. It is not a cheap device, to be sure. But I felt it was absolutely worth it for me.

  • Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?

    Jump

  • Portables are the best for this, imo. Steam Deck or a used 3DS are my choices. The latter is easy to mod and play all sorts of games including the gigantic DS/3DS library.

    I find both systems clutch for the suspend function. Lets you pick right back up where you were. I will say the 3ds is much better at this with clamshell design that suspends on closing the lid and it's battery life in suspend is fantastic!

    I also find stress relief games. Mindless 3rd person action games for me. Mad Max was great because I could drive around picking fights or crashing stuff. The Batman Arkham games and the Shadow of Mordor games are other great examples for me. I have not found any relaxing "cozy" games that work for me. Nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to stick with.

  • Open source note taking apps?

    Jump

  • Pretty big caveat to that though. Joplin names the individual text files some huge hexadecimal value, unlike Obsidian (and maybe Loseq). And it appends some meta data in the file itself.

    I personally felt this was unacceptable for my use case. And if Logseq's android app wasn't so bad, is be using it instead of Obsidian.
