You can actually (for now) just replace gitea with forgejo while keeping all the files in place and it just works. Really easy then using docker, cause all it takes is changing the container image.

Besides what everyone else already said: Vimium-C. It lets you use Vim bindings in your browser. It’s also extremely customizable and even works with my bizzare keyboard setup.

It’s always the DNS!

Setting up synapse is particularly painful.

There are free services that let you send and receive on your own domain. I use zoho. I can send emails with SMTP, but unfortunately, you cannot read them other than by using their web interface in the free tier.

Yeah, I take my laptop with me daily for university work. I don’t need the huge processing power of my gaming computer. If I need to run some expensive code, then I put it on my 24/7 server, but that is rarely needed. The powerful gaming computer serves, well… gaming purposes.

I used Joplin for up to 8 hours daily for half a year (university) before switching to Obsidian, too. As far as I know, Joplin lets you store the notes as files, too, but you need to set it up that way from the start.

Still, I found Obsidian to be much more pleasant and - ironically - easier to modify (by writing plugins) than Joplin.

“Pixels” mood tracker. I love it but I also love self-hosting all my services.

There are obsidian plugins that export into static pages.

I’m on Sony WH-1000XM3 and recently also bought WF-1000XM5 that are always with me whenever I go outside. Very satisfied with both.

Since you mentioned WF specifically:

• Very portable

• Great battery life

• Seamless switching between different devices

• Flush with (my) ears, you could easily lie down on your side with them in

• Fine noise cancelling. Not as powerful as in the over-ears, but good enough when you’ve got some sound going. I use them to prevent sensory overload by playing rain and thunder sounds with noise cancelling while I’m commuting with a full metro.

• Great sound quality. I find them to be very neutral, albeit a bit light on the bass when compared side-by-side to my over-ears. On their own (not side-by-side) there’s nothing I can complain about and my music is very enjoyable.

• Wish the controls were more customizable or just better in general. You quickly end up tapping a LOT.

• I’ve seen another comment mention comfort. My ears get fatigued if I wear them for 3 or 4 hours straight, e.g. when I’m working from a library. For long periods of time I prefer to tag my over-ears along, which I’d normally leave at home due to bulky size. I understand buying two kinds of expensive headphones is not an option, but just be wary of prolonged usage on the WFs. You can definitely get more used to them though over time, so you can wear the for longer before discomfort/pain starts creeping in.

As others said, the initial setup may consume some time, but once it’s running, it just works. I dockerize almost everything and have automatic backups set up.

I do that, but only allow access to private services from local IP addresses, rather than putting auth in front of them. Then I use IPsec to access my local-only things.

In my circles it was just ants but seeing all the mentions of snow makes me think of the book Snow Crash which more or less refers to just that :)

I also switched from Joplin to Obsidian after about half a year. There’s an open-source plugin that lets you self-host a syncing server.

What I found paradoxical is how easy it is to mod and write plugins for Obsidian compared to Joplin. I would’ve thought that modifying the open-source candidate would’ve been easier, but nope.

I’m in the niche of niches by using vsc with a vim plugin while being a dvorak user. I rely on vim’s langmap feature to get anywhere, but people implementing vim emulators blissfully ignore accessibility like that. So I went and implemented langmap in vsc’s vim plugin myself. It has minimal intervention into the existing codebase and a bunch of other people have been wishing for this for years. Yet, when it comes to merging… Silence.
