Has anyone tried selfhosting ente photos? Curious how well it works.

I am one of those gifted folks that enjoy astigmatism. I have tried dark mode and dark themes many times over the years and it just doesn't work for me. The screenshots are gorgeous tho!

Agreed, OpenAudible is fantastic. I've been an audible member for ages. I really only listen to my books when commuting and traveling and the pandemic set me back in my listening. Using OpenAudible allows me to keep my library available on any device and use any application to listen.

Item1: I would love something along these lines. Honestly, I wish I could configure Thunderbird to be my journal and reference my to-do items programmatically from inside journal entries.

Similar to your wish for first class dark mode, I want light mode to also be first class. Too many apps lately have made dark mode default and the light mode is unusable.

I was thinking a desktop app. I've played with imapnotes3 and jtxboard.

Yeah, me too. Whenever Fedora made the move to Wayland by default for Gnome.

Don't leave us hanging, what is this mystical notes app that syncs over imap?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I hope they really do it. I'd love notes in Thunderbird.

I got this last year and it has traveled up and down the East Coast, as well to the South West. Gone by plane and car. I have used it with my Surface laptop running Windows for work, my personal Framework 13 running Fedora Linux, and my Nintendo switch.

Is it great? I don't know, but it works.

Joplin has a plug-in that can grab todos and reveal them all in one spot. You can use tags with it as well. Although I believe it only works on desktop? I haven't tried on phone/tablet. https://github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-inline-todo#readme

I'm in the same boat.

Past: My notes are all over the place. Some are in paper notebooks, on scraps of paper, index cards. Some are plain text files, some are markdown; dumped into random folders (had some in my yyyy/mm/dd folders for my journaling, some in project folders) some are on a wiki, some in redmine, some in openproject. I've tried different bug tracking apps, but as mentioned, they (like project management apps) are too burdensome.

Current: For now I am using Joplin for my active notes (and slowly migrating historical notes as I have energy). I have a top level notebook for my homelab, then a subnotebook broken down by subject (infrastructure, app/service, hardware), then individual pages for each specific item (host os setup, vpn, application, etc). On those individual pages, I have it sectioned out; Goal, Research notes, Actions taken, results.

  • Personal Notes
  • Journal
  • Inbox
  • Homelab
    • Infrastructure
      • Host OS
      • VPN
      • NFS
    • Services
      • Radicale
      • Audiobookshelf
      • etc
    • Hardware
      • node 1
      • node 2
      • node 3
      • router

Future step: Once I have something figured out and ready for "prod", I will be wiping it out and redoing it all through ansible. I'll take that playbook and a clean markdown doc with the important details and put them in git. That way I can rebuild it later if there is a tragedy.

 

I have been using an old HP AIO for years. Two things have really been bothering me lately.

  • I'm tired on having to install, uninstall, reinstall the hplip drivers. Sometimes if I unplug the cable and plug it back in the same port it requires a reinstall to work again. Other times I have no idea why.
  • Sometimes scanning works, but it's only single sided. I have piles of paper to scan and I'm tired of flipping the paper and reordering the digital pages.

So, anyone have a MFP/AIO that works with default Linux drivers and has supported duplex scanning? I want specific models, not just brand names.

 

I am looking for self hosted blog/journal that is private by default. Not looking to host a public blog, rather something that I can write more personal entries on and is easy to read later. I want to be able to include multimedia in the entries.

Currently I'm thinking of a Mastodon server with posts set to private by default and turning off federation. It would be awesome to be able to post from my phone as events happen rather than having to find time later.

I've tried around with using IMAP and an email client, but not sold on it. Tried using a calendar, but too cludgy.

Open to other ideas!
