https://radicale.org is a great solution for those who seek a minimalist contact and calendar sync server. I just deployed it and works great with Android and ! (One by one, getting rid of my bloated Nextcloud server, and moving off to smaller micro services!)

Hi Fediverse,

how do you manage your dotfiles in your ~? I am using a set of custom shell scripts to install them, but found that is handy (can also install them on remote targets). I know of GNU Stow (the symlink manager), but never used it. Of course, all dotfiles are kept in a git repository. For work, we use and have modules for dotfiles management.

@jhx now I have FOMO and think I have to try out Debian again after so long time! All because of you! :-)

@jhx Why Arch additionally to Debian? Arch because of more recent software? And Debian because of the reliability?

I created my first mobile app in using . It's a very simple app for logging small ideas and to do tasks on my Android phone into simple text files. These are synced w/ to my Laptop. From there, a glue script adds them to my DB. I know, weird workflow. But I wanted to highlight how easy it is to build cross-platform mobile apps in Go now. Dont have to use the Android SDK.

I wasn't aware until now, that jq is actually a full blown functional programming language. Originally it was inspired by Haskell and the very first version(s) of jq were actually implemented in Haskell. Only later jq got ported over to C. To have an idea how powerfull the jq language is, there is also a jq implementation purely written in jq: https://github.com/wader/jqjq

Hey , any recommendations about a self-hostable open source photo sync solution with Android App support?

I am currently using NextCloud, but am curious to try out alternatives. NextCloud does many things and appears a bit of a bloat for the reason(s) I am using it.

Maybe just set up a server? Or ? Or plain rsync in ?

Main goal is to have backups of the photos taken automatically. Doesn't require a fancy UI.

Other than DarkTable and RawTherapee, which open-source apps use folks to edit RAW photos? Mainly for minor tweaking and enhancing...the two listed programs here are a bit overload for what I want to do. Shotwell seems to be able to work on RAW photos as well.

I don't mind paying for good software. Maybe Lightroom or an alternative. But first, I always look for good available Open Source software and then look at how much effort it is to do with it what I want to do or to learn the software.

snonux,
@snonux@fosstodon.org avatar

@jhx yes agreed. it is a bit of a legal grey area, but i have a music subscription and i am paying for it, but i also create backups of all my music as lossless flac files. Same applies to the eBooks I "rent" on various platforms (de-DRM and backup) and I also follow some online sport videos, where I do the same (local backups, youtube-dl supports multiple platforms to download videos from, not just youtube). I don't do that for Netfix, though. as I would run out of local storage space soon :D

I have tried on my laptop. Seems all great, but I reverted back to . I prefer the simplicity of GNOME. Yes, you can keep Plasma simple as well, but I am too tempted to tinker with all the possibilities there. Looking forward to try out deskop one day, though. But GNOME has been my daily driver (on my personal laptop) for more than ten years and I keep it pretty much in its vanilla config. Most of my work is done in the terminal anyway.

@ferki do you have a large monitor? i found that the tiling window managers don't work well with them. i end up with too much screen real estate and the windows placed at odd positions. (32" screen)

or maybe i should just use a smaller monitor.

maybe there is a reasonable config i could use.

@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

Made a decision.
For the longest time I've always had too many distros that I tried to run and support.
I need to fokus on something in the end... and not drift around all the time.
So, it is - only
I use all day / every day.
It does not make sense for me to run any other distro.

On the side I will focus on - that's it.

The many distros / derivatives have learned me a lot over the years... and I'm very thankful for that. But, less is more.

@jhx There used to be a Debian GNU/kFreeBSD spin of Debian, BTW :-) https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD
