Ah got it, thanks for explaining. I will give it a shot.

For some odd reason, this calls to mind an emotionally immature parent trying to get their toddler to eat vegetables… no reason at all…

That seems to be for just sharing location, though. That isn’t as useful for me because I rarely have my location on, and I don’t share it with others. I’m looking more for something that allows remote control/locking of a device in case it is lost or stolen.

That could be it! I haven’t tried messing with firewall settings in detail.

Didn’t realize it was that powerful. I have been meaning to set this up as a viable alternative to the proprietary Find My device apps, because I’ve been concerned that not having an equivalent will be a disadvantage…

This looks great! I’ve been looking for a replacement for Spotube.

Wow interesting, I didn’t know you could self-host storage on Zotero.

Shoutout to Kovid Goyal for creating an awesome piece of software.

I gotta figure out how it works and go through the setup one of these days. I’ve just been using Syncthing for my photos currently.

Magic Earth is spotty on public transit, but it does have it, at least. And it is based on OSM. I usually just use my local transit app for accurate timetables, anyway.

For some reason, I just can’t get my Kubuntu desktop and Android phone to talk to each other with this. It does weirdly connect just fine on Arch/EndeavourOS, though.

Syncthing has been a wonder to discover. Basically replaced any desire for me to rely on the cloud.

Fair enough.

And why a Twitter account?

It’s hard to do so when it seems like your seeding is never connecting to anyone…

X1 Carbon is awesome specs and has that lightweight portability element.

Gives me hope, I’m glad the kids are still curious and willing to learn. I’ve seen too many early-20s people at work who have absolutely zero computer skills.

project it over onto the screen in our meeting room with two clicks is pretty awesome.

Didn’t know that was a feature, that’s pretty cool.

I have been looking at Boox, yes. Though their price range is seemingly not much better than reMarkable… I’m still waiting for a decent used market to develop around some of these newer models. I’m okay with being patient on e-ink tech.

Thanks for reminding me to set up Timeshift on my EndeavourOS install, salute to you.
