I hate returning stuff, but sometimes it just can’t be avoided.

I’ve ordered the Caldigit TS3. I’ll update after I get a chance to test it.

So, I took the advice of @steal_your_face and got the caldigit ts3. I had to grab a displayport to hdmi adapter since I don’t have displayport cables.

So far, I have the display working at full 3840x2160. It struggled at first, but eventually Fedora got it working without any changes. I did have to unplug and plug in the usb-c cable. Mouse and Keyboard recognized without issue. Audio through the dock to the screen to speaker is working. Mounted and worked with files on usb drive, no issues. Videos played off the usb drive fine.

So, in short, it works as expected, no extra setup/config required.

Thanks, I received the caldigit have set it up. Everything seems to be working.

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

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

shertson, 1 month ago

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.

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.

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.

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. github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-inline-todo#readme

I love my Framework. It may not feel as polished physically as the XPS. If you can find one in the wild to touch and try, I would recommend doing so.

I lucked out. When I was ready to pull the trigger it was just a couple of weeks before the next batch shipped. Got mine in just a few weeks.

Please, for all that is holy, plug in your laptop.

Screenshots shouldn’t be optional, and if dark and light themes are provided in the app, then show both. It’ll help users decide to try out the app. In my opinion, a lack luster presentation will discourage potential users.

I do lean towards the guidelines being enforced. As a user, it’ll give me more confidence in flatpaks.

I use MediaTracker.

I mostly watch stuff on Netflix and Amazon prime, never thought to see if there is a way to auto update my watch history. I’m terrible about remembering to update my watch history.

I have used Baikal for caldav for the server, with davx5 on Android. Was solid. Moved to NC for files, so went ahead with calendar sync on NC too. NC calendar sync has already worked well for me, no hiccups.

The only issue I’ve had with NC is auto upload of photos from my phone. It constantly has conflicts. Otherwise sync of regular files works great.

Does the ADS1700W require drivers from Brother?

I really would like to find an AIO to conserve space. .

Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.

Can’t say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care about being a purist, don’t care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.

I keep my books in AudioBookShelf and use the android app to download to my phone. But, AudioBookShelf doesn’t work on Android Auto, so I use Voice to play the books in my car. They can share storage which makes it nice.

There were some good pieces on Groklaw back in the day about the history of unix and Linux.

I use Monica. The journal function is meh and a pain to use from phone. Otherwise I love it. When I meet new people through my friend group, I add them so I can remember details about them for next time we meet.
