GrapheneOS has a feature called contact scopes[1] that lets you pick which contacts apps have access to. It's great! [1]: https://grapheneos.org/usage#contact-scopes

Yeah, it is definitely really nice if you care about privacy/security and can live with some minor limitations. I just switched back to stock Android from GrapheneOS though, to get Android Auto working. My car's built-in navigatio

GrapheneOS only supports phones for as long as Google does, though.

Personally, my NixOS system is wiped every time it boots up [1]. So no, I have no need for a tool like sysclean. [1]: https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/

I just did the same, and I think those Rolands are basically the cheapest options that will actually serve you well over the medium to long term.

It's not always obvious when music players are changing the metadata of your files vs storing stuff in some other database.

If SyncThing works for your use case, I agree that you should choose it over git-annex. However, git-annex is also much more flexible than SyncThing. For example, if you want to protect your music collection from accidental changes and are

Why is Canaria better than other alt layouts for Spanish? As a Spanish learner, Colemak-DH seems to be pretty good for both languages (although my usage is still overwhelmingly dominated by English).

I'm using xmonad inside of KDE Plasma. It's not flawless. I had to patch plasma-desktop to get it to work at all, and there are still some bugs around widgets and toolbars I haven't found a solution for. But I'm still pr

I haven't used Zim, but from a cursory look it doesn't seem like it has any way to query its daily journal entries. In Logseq your daily journal might contain a dozen todos, bulleted project notes, and random thoughts all mixed to

> I hadn't looked at Thunderbird since about that time. I trashed it back then because there was no way to export your filters, in order to copy them to other computers... an absurd deal-breaker. Has that been resolved, by the way?

A split and/or tilt is mandatory IMO. Without it, ortholinear keyboards are even less ergonomic than a regular staggered keyboard.

Okular's epub rendering is awful. Nearly any other option will look better.

Not now, but soon. Bitwarden's public statements over the past year, and their acquisition of passwordless.dev, would seem to indicate that they're working very hard on adding passkey support.

I used to have a script that I bound to right-click instead of xdg-open. In addition to opening URLs, it also extracted the current directory from xterm's title so that I could open files with the mouse as well. I called it plumb (afte

by yepguy 3y ago
You can kind of get clickable links in xterm by configuring it to run a command with the current selection on right-click: *VT100.translations: #override \n\ <Btn3Down>: exec-formatted("xdg-open '%t'"

DNSControl[1] or another similar tool also helps a lot when moving. My DNS records are configured by a small JavaScript file in a git repository, and I can very easily point it at another DNS provider. [1]: https://dnscontrol.org

Nix's main innovation with regard to reproducibility is that it actually fully specifies the dependency graph. I'm not going to say anything about bit reproducibility as that's another thing entirely, but virtually every othe

Why are you assuming 100-200W power draw? That seems way too high when an old laptop would only use like 15W. My ARM server sips power and runs everything I throw at it.

Why do they even have their own fleet of garbage trucks, though? I'm pretty sure the garbage trucks where I live are all privately owned.

keyd is a really nice key remapping daemon that supports application-specific remappings. You could use it to emulate readline bindings in Chrome. Or if you can't figure out how to emulate something, at least bind it to noop so it does

The modules themselves connect to the laptop via USB-C ports, so if you don't have a USB-C module you can still charge it by removing another module.

I guess it probably only needs a hostname. Although I'd still feel uneasy about running it at home, because I don't want any incoming connections to my home network unless it's over Tailscale, and headscale would need some ki

by yepguy 4y ago
I don't really understand how self-hosting headscale is actually any more secure. The control server needs a stable IP address, so I'd need to run it on a VPS or something, which means I'm still trusting a third-party to not
