Have to agree with this. I’d love to use it and support what they’re doing. But the mobile client is bad. I also hate that the note files, stored in markdown format, are modified. The file names are not human readable and the contents are appended with metadata.

Pop!_OS

Gnome with a bit of a macOS twist. I really like it. I’m excited for Cosmic!

Yes, and…? Did I claim otherwise anywhere? Privacy isn’t a zero sum game. You cant fully protect yourself short of ditching tech and the Internet entirely. And even then, there’s already a digital footprint left behind you’ll never get rid of. But you can make informed choices like not trusting Google or Microsoft to host your personal data, not buying the smart home devices, keeping data local only/host your own cloud, use Linux instead of Windows, etc.

Jokes on you. My phone is two soup cans and a length of string.

100% agree. I’ve only just started my privacy/self hosted journey almost exactly 1 year ago. Still learning, but I’m loving the experience so far.

It’s absolutely bad when the US does it. I made no claim otherwise. Cheap tech being used as an entry point for data mining the customers, regardless of country the products are sold in is pretty well documented at this point.

That’s quite a leap, isn’t it? When China has demonstrably expressed intent in data mining the world.

Plenty more examples if you look even briefly.

Now with free spyware/backdoor!

What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.

I’ve heard good things. I will admit I don’t like hiding features that I would consider to be essential behind a paywall. But I may have to give it another try.

Damn, that’s a great price. Who is your VPS provider so I can keep an eye out for similar deals?

I’d love to try it out but only self-hosted. And so far I can’t get it spun up. To be clear, I’m sure that’s a me problem. That said, the instructions are pretty spartan and a few commands to run and “that’s it. you can now create an account and login!” but that doesn’t work for me.

I currently have Immich running and it’s good. But I’ve had two updates break my install, requiring hours of work to get it back to working reliably. They have a disclaimer that this can happen and isn’t ready for production yet, so I don’t fault them for that. I’m just on the hunt for something more reliable. Ente seems like it’s been around a good while. I just need to figure out what I’m doing wrong. The S3 backend is a pretty great feature, imo.

I really like it. I tried several distros for my first dedicated desktop Linux machine and pop was the one that clicked. I like that it’s not trying to mimick windows UI, and only sorta behaves like macOS. Everyone else was too close to win10. Which I understand is a selling point, so to speak, but I’m so sick of windows that I wanted it to look and act differently.

I would normally agree but then I saw how cool Paperless-NGX is and had a mighty need to self host and get organized. Or at least that’s how I’m justifying it to myself…

Lol, no question I’m privileged in that regard. We do have half the state burn during the hottest parts of the summer, so can’t use it then. And an overzealous neighbor who likes to burn yard waste on the nicest days of the spring/summer, if that makes you feel better. :)

1. Whole house fan, and it’s not even close. We’ve saved tons of money by not running the AC as much as a result. Plus it just feels nicer to have fresh cool air come in from outside. I’ve even used it in the winter after the whole family got over being sick. Crack a couple of windows, turn the fan on, and the entirety of the house has fresh air in minutes. That got cold pretty quick, but worth having some stale air purged.
2. Drill press I’m an amateur woodworker who is apparently incapable of drilling straight holes.
3. Blackstone griddle A gift from a loved one who passed before they got to see me use it, but a nice reminder regardless. Works great for meal prepping something like breakfast burritos!

Im not certain in regards to security in this context. But any new features in Quillpad you’d miss. If that’s important to you. Otherwise, keep on using quillnote instead!

Good to know. I’m really only using it for shopping lists and non-scheduled to do/tasks… Which is how I used Google Keep.

Tasks that have a deadline or I need an alert/reminder goes into Tasks, everything else goes into Obsidian.

I keep trying Markor. UI is rough though. And not a fan of the checklist and task management within the app. I do like that it’s just simple text files for sure. But not a very elegant solution.

Not sure what license Acreom is going to open source if under. But it’s on their Roadmap

Quillnote has been abandoned. Quillpad is the fork that has a somewhat active development, if that matters to you.
