Got it. I suppose Thundermail is new so they’re still working on things.

I signed up yesterday. Really liking it so far but I’m still messing around with it. Do you have your app synced? I’m trying to figure out if I can change the settings on one PC and have them affect another PC/phone without exporting.

Absolutely. I’m kicking myself for not doing it when I moved to Proton in the first place but I didn’t know much about this stuff and needed an easy switch.

Additionally the other bonus to migrating from Proton is diversifying. Now if one company enshittifies it only affects one account.

What are you using for your domain emails?

I just switched to custom domains and Thundermail

I moved to Linux a while back and only discovered docker after setting everything up. Haven’t got around to learning about it yet, Linux itself was a lot of info lol. Do you use docker containers for like every app you install? Like if I start with an old laptop and try syncthing, should that be installed in a docker container?

Yeah, I’ve been struggling with this. I’m thinking when my mail gets sorted I’ll go down to just the vpn subscription for now. Keeping one service isn’t perfect, but perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good. keeping 1 of the 8 services is way better than all 8 lol.

Thanks, I’ll give it a look. Self hosting is a huge learning curve for me, I hate network stuff lol.

I spent the day getting things set up to leave.

Pass went to KeePass, which was easier than I expected.

Drive is now replaced with Filen.io

Standard Notes is now Obsidian

Looking at AirVPN, but not ready to pull the trigger on that yet.

Still looking for a calendar. Thunderbird has one but it’s not on mobile for some reason.

The big one is mail. I was the same as you migrating from gmail so I’m learning my lesson now. Set up Thundermail today and have 3 custom domains set up. Spent hours today swapping out account emails. It’s rough, but I did it to myself. I knew going full Proton ecosystem was a bad idea, but at the time I just wanted out of Google. Take your time.

I have a 9 with Graphene, and use a second profile for banking apps. This profile has a burner google account, and aurora store for banking apps which works fine, just no tap. My main profile is all f-droid/obtanium, though I run sandboxed google services for notifications.

Same as I do for music. I use Calibre and do a lot of manual organization. My tree looks like this:

King, Stephen/

Christine/

    Christine.epub

Dark Tower, The - 01 - Gunslinger, The/

    Dark Tower, The - 01 - Gunslinger, The.epub

Dark Tower, The - 02 - Drawing of the Three, The/

    Dark Tower, The - 02 - Drawing of the Three, The.epub

Needful Things/

    Neefdul Things.epub

Of course, most of my books are fiction so I don’t use genres, but now I’m rethinking that lol.

If you find it does that, like:

Album1 7/12 tracks

Album2 1/15 tracks

Album3 4/21 tracks

I just click and drag Album2 and Album3 into Album1

Excellent thank you

This was really interesting, thanks. Something I’ll keep in mind for sure, but I did set it up with crontab -e so maybe I’m all good. Gonna play around with it some more over the next few days, there’s so much to learn. Linux is amazing

I see. I’m the only user and the .castgetrc file that I edit for the RSS feeds is located in home. The castget command works in terminal when I type it, but it may not if cron does it? Would that be because cron installs as root? I’m on Cachyos and had to install cronie as cron wasn’t preinstalled. If it doesn’t work I’ll try your suggestion.

I know -u is for user, what is -n – in this case?

I’ll keep that in mind thanks. Haven’t dipped my toes into scripts and things yet but this just opened up a world of possibilities lol

Got it. My system is always on so that’s no issue. Appreciate the help.

Huh. That’s shockingly simple.

I’m looking at cron. I just made a cronjob:

0 6 * * * castget -c

Is that it to run every day at 6am?

This seems way more straight forward than i remember lol. I’m on Cachy, which apparently doesn’t have cron out of the box. Just installed cronie, ran crontab -e, and if I enter:

0 6 * * * * castget -c

(with spaces between 0 6 * etc?) that’s it? It’ll run every day at 6am?

Great, thank you. I heard about cron jobs when I first switched to Linux but got overwhelmed. Appreciate the link.
