  • My server became a sun

  • Ackshually this is well within the range of a Class F star, unlike our class G sun which is a bit cooler. This is getting cloe to the temperature of Procyon A which is noticeably whiter than the sun.

  • FWIW I use Obsidian on desktop and Nextcloud Notes on mobile (along with Nextcloud sync for, uh, syncing) and it works great. All this and a TB of storage only costs me about 5 EUR/mo with Hetzner.

  • The Google Reader comparison is excellent, that one still hurts... I think RSS usage has simply declined tremendously overall though, as opposed to PKM which is still going strong (I think/hope)

  • What none of them do well is syncing and collaboration without paying for hosting or self hosting.

    Not to pick on you here, but you're surprised that nobody is bulding an app for free and then paying for a server to also give away for free? Open source devs already struggle to make ends meet - now they're supposed to operate at a loss?

  • Me too, but I figure a clone will pop up very quickly if that happens, and I'll already have an easily portable folder with markdown files.

  • I know this won't go over well here but I don't really care that Obsidian isn't FOSS, because it's just a frontend for markdown files in folders. There's no lock-in whatsoever, and it being FOSS or not makes no functional difference.

  • Or take screenshots and print them off and compare the two sheets of paper using a highlighter to mark them up. Easy!

  • PixiEditor 2.0 - a FOSS Universal 2D Graphics Editor is here

    Jump

  • Yes, Illustrator is much better at managing text (less that InDesign of course, but still good for simpler designs). In Inkscape's defense, many of the limitations are imposed by the SVG standard. I think paragraphs are one of them.

    Jump

  • That's great, I'm glad you've found something that fits your requirements! Some of us need features it doesn't have, like the ability to adjust spacing between paragraphs (or rather, to have paragraphs at all rather than just add line breaks)

    Jump

  • Yes, it does seem overambitious, but I'd be happy if I can just replace Illustrator finally.

  • https://graphite.rs/ is the one I'm really waiting for, but this looks nice, especially for game developers.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

  • HP is probably the worst offender in this regard - their website is almost unusable. Lenovo is a close second, and I say this as a compulsive ThinkPad buyer.

    Edit: I think a lot of commenters here aren't reading the article. This isn't about your favourite laptop, it's about why manufacturer websites suck.
