Syncthing for files (music, photos, videos, noted), DAVx5 for contacts+calendar. Everything else is either a client app (email) or ephemeral (text messages).

lf is similar (I switched a system Python version update broke ranger). https://github.com/gokcehan/lf I have it integrated into zsh so the current directory is whatever dir I was in when exiting lf.

I used various Subsonic clients for a number of years, but the clients were always lacking. Android clients were buggy or didn't prioritize local caching and I preferred to use mpd+ncmpcpp on my laptop. I ended up switching to fully-lo

Better yet, GrapheneOS allows you you sandbox Google's crap if you need or want it. Very useful when needing to use a proprietary app that requires it.

+1 I can't recommend libvips enough. I recently switched to it from ImageMagick+tificc in a flatbed scanner appliance and am seeing a minimum of a 2x performance increase with minimal memory usage. libvips makes it easy to setup a pipe

I've had a lot of luck capturing USB packets using a Windows virtual machine and Wireshark on a Linux host. Most recently I've used this to reverse engineer the configuration protocol of the Pulsar X2 v2 Mini gaming mouse. I'

I use KOReader to read epubs on Android, but not PDFs. Being geared towards eink devices, KOReader lacks the smooth panning+zooming one would typically expect in an Android PDF reader. I've settled on using Bubble2 when I need to read

I've found using labeled, stacked 6qt bins w/ lids to be good enough for me. https://r.nullsum.net/img/20240702_organization.jpg I keep them mostly space efficient by combining as many things into each bin wh

This is why I encourage not overriding common commands in $PATH. Setup an alias instead so it only applies to interactive shells (or just type the new command :p). Shell scripting is already fickle enough with compatibility issues across th

Mozilla explicitly disables about:config in the stable release of Firefox on Android. Works fine in the beta and nightly releases though. As for why they disabled it, no clue. Just bitter, disdainful speculation.

Alpine uses busybox for its shell and core utils. While closer to pure POSIX than bash or GNU, it has support for a few non-POSIX features (the shell supports the source command and brace expansion, and iirc some of the utils support non-st

The time-to-crack varies depending on the game. Cracks for popular games such as Dying Light 2 and Far Cry 6 were released months after the games were initially released. Less popular games such as Burnout Paradise Remastered have yet to be
