My interests are mainly music, instruments, tech, Linux and self hosting.

  • Looking for opinions on Trilium Notes

    Jump

  • I see. I must've missed that while doing my skimming a bit too hastily. Good thing it has, I was worried it would be limited to securing it through a VPN.

    I'm glad it exists and hope of develops further. It has gotten some well deserved growth and exposure in general.

  • Looking for opinions on Trilium Notes

    Jump

  • I've been a Joplin user as well for some time and decided to switch to something different too. I looked at Trilium as a possible alternative but decided it wasn't for me. Seems like their self hosted sync server doesn't have much in terms of proper authentication at all? At least from what I've seen from the setup and when I skimmed through the docs. However there does seem to be encryption available which at least seems to be something. The interface also seems very cluttered and has a wild amount of features I'll never even dream of using extensively. I needed something more simple and streamlined.

    With that in mind and as I use Authentik for authentication and user management I decided to look elsewhere. I'm currently testing Jotty/Jotty.page, however they want to format it, and it has everything I need. But it lacks encryption and a proper mobile app. It does however have PWA support which is at least something. I do also enjoy that it is pretty much completely directory based. Even the users and user sessions and shared notes are just JSON files. This makes active backups a breeze and disaster recovery is going into a users directory and making a copy of their directories and .md files. It's growing on me to say the least.

    Why did Homo Sapiens Become House Trained. Rather than controlled?

    Jump

  • There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding your question from users. If I understand it correctly, you're wondering about when the human species became less of hunter-gatherers and more socially adept animals and when and why societal progress started suppressing aggressive behaviours in tribe-based expansion and control.

    You referencing "protohuman traits" makes it a bit harder however since protohumans are before our own species of homo sapiens but I could imagine that a lot of those traits are closely related to early homo sapien society.

    I don't have a lot of answers for you but I think the answer maybe lies in sociological studies and things like Social Contract theory. Maybe it's that slowly people got more rights to not be hurt by others because they could bring value to society as a whole in other ways and with the invention of agriculture, things like jobs became more viable and governments formed with laws then religion came along and what not too heavily influencing rights and wrongs.

  • Does anyone else use their steam deck as a PC? How's it?

    Jump

  • Mines an LCD. So I don't really worry about burn in on it. However my portable monitor is an OLED which I do worry about burn in on so I have my screen off time quite low.

  • Does anyone else use their steam deck as a PC? How's it?

    Jump

  • My Steam Deck has been my primary and only PC for almost 2 years. My laptop that I had broke and instead of buying a new one I decided to buy adapters and a portable monitor. I rarely game on it but manage my homelab and do web development.

    I've been trying some different distros over time and currently I've been sticking with NixOS, however it's been giving me some minor inconveniences here and there so I've been thinking of moving back to Nobara again.

    When I do game I never really leave desktop mode and just play it normally. Lately I've been playing Peak, No Man's Sky, Stardew Valley and occasionally some VRChat.

    Overall, it's great, my steam deck works well as a secondary screen while plugged into my monitor. I place my chats and stuff there and then I do whatever else on the main screen.

  • Choosing a distro for a technophobe's computer

  • I've always found the installation process of Debian unintuitive for people not used to linux. But I could imagine that it's probably abreally good contender once the packages are installed and the DE setup with any necessary extensions for file browsers and other programs, for example preview of files in Nautilus for GNOME. Unsure if that is automatically installed or not in Debian but could be a good idea to check.

    I'd suggest trying a test install in a VM if you can to check how well Debian will hold after configuration. Package updates for my Debian servers happens every once or so week and with a DEs GUI package manager it could simplify the process of the user actually hitting the update button.

  • What's the most challenging thing you've ever bitten through?

    Jump

  • I once bought these chocolates that had a outer coating making them look like decorative rocks.

    My mum loves to have little rocks as decoration so I bought a pack and decided to surprise her with it. Out of nowhere in front of her I decided to bite through one and she was in shock looking at me as she slowly realised they were edible. They looked extremely convincing.

    They were pretty damn hard tho. Nothing too bad however.

    Hyprperks: a new 5€ official subscription to support Hyprland development.

    Jump

  • It's an interesting topic me and my friends have discussed for a long time. On one hand, putting ease of use and user experience behind a paywall is terrible but on the other developers deserve compensation. Not everyone can donate and others doesn't even figure that it's an option.

    Pangolin I think does it very kindly by having a button on the lower left of the interface that you can click on and then also dismiss to hide that button for a week which I find a good common ground. But at the same time I also think it's hard to justify hate towards projects that lock things behind a paywall.

    Of course if you lock security features like OIDC/LDAP like some do or self-hosting to "Local Infrastructure" it's pure BS. I think there's a lot of nuance to what should and shouldn't be done in the matter but as long as it's still open source it's good in my book. Like self hosting Bitwarden gives you access to the paid features or you can pay them the small fee to not self host it and get some extra QoL features.

    People do in the end have to juggle software maintenance, community maintenance, organizing issues, planning features and implementations, keeping wiki and docs up to date, etc. On top of, I'm assuming in most cases, having to do a regular job too. I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to do that at all so if they can get some motivation through either code contribution or monetarily it would potentially ease up things.

  • Having run minor projects using PocketBase before and also seen what PocketBase itself can do and SQLite configured correctly in general, It's great. I've gotten to be a big fan of it by the years and gladly opt for it over the bigger ones.

    If this project got SQLite support it would be a great replacement for my own setup which requires about 3 or 4 accounts. Currently using a proprietary solution and been looking into moving to Authentik but it's a bit too heavy resource wise for my current servers.

  • Dan... I fucking love you. Thank you for this writeup. Not only is it helpful but it gives me encouragement to continue finding ways and figure things out.

    I couple years back when I did my photography education we had an assignment to create a photo book as our final "exam" thing. I decided to document and show the daily life of a blind man and his tools and what he's had to go through as his blindness got worse over the years. He showed me how he uses his computer and phone and such so I really really saw the importance of accessibility.

    Somewhat luckily I've been able to keep the forms somewhat sane due to using component libraries which implement accessibility well. I always make my things in SvelteKit which does have good support for accessibility and I always keep my colours contrasty with as close to as AAA as possible because it's easier on my own eyes too hahaha.

    There's a national deaf-blind association nearby and I've been thinking of going there to chat about accessibility and website usage with them one day.

    I'm working on digitizing the book I made into a website and of course want to make that website extroniously accessible so even a blind person can hear through descriptive wording of what's happening in the images. I also plan to make a scrolly-type thing using as little JS as possible which is nicely achievable now with the CSS scroll modifiers that's been added over the years.

    It's going to be exciting to see how everything will work out. I can't thank you enough, while my only computer is a Steam Deck where running VMs is a bit so and so I'm gonna see if I can use some public computer or see if someone in the association can help me test things out and fix things from there.

  • One thing I've had troubles with when trying to implement accessibility is in web dev. There's so many attribute tags and I think a few different software based standards as well? I'm not entirely sure. The documentation on it felt a bit hard to follow and implement. Then I'm not sure how to go about testing it fully either without having those proprietary softwares either. I'm on an all Linux machine and the only accessibility software I know of is Orca and it's so and so last time I tried it.

    While I slowly figure that out however I make sure to follow tag recommendations and keep things in sections, only one h1 tag per page, descriptive and short alt tags, and so forth. At least that helps a tiny bit.

  • I absolutely love GNOME but had to switch recently due to hardware and software quirks. My primary computer is a Steam Deck and with valve primarily testing their things with KDE and the ability to launch into the Deck mode there was a lot of bugs and quirks happening with GNOME that I got tired of troubleshooting and patch in config files for all the time.

    Switching back to KDE, sure I get a better overview of things but I love Adwaita and the GNOME Intuitivity of the UI. Things I needed was there and presented in a very nice non-distracting way. The clean look and the added margins around elements giving a comfortable view of what's necessary is extremely nice to me, all while the rest of the stuff isn't distracting me with buttons and gizmos everywhere. I hope I can one day switch back but the added niceties of HDR and better KDE Connect support that isn't half broken is also quite nice. Loose a little, win a little.
