I use the floccus extension with Nextcloud as a backend for bookmarks/tabs and wallabag for read-it-later

yeah, this is just physics. To overly simplify, swamp coolers alone cannot move the indoor climate to a comfortable state if the baseline temperature is above 40 deg C, even if there is 0 water in the air to start with. They can still help in certain climates, but require air conditioning or significant air movement to compensate.

no.

kinda related: I get that you gotta make money in this world, and I’m happy to pay for a book, but it always makes me so sad when authors don’t offer DRM-free eBooks, especially when the content is about ending capitalism. This is even worse because, not only do they only have a DRM-laden option, but they also only selling it on Amazon.

It’s really frustrating how common this is.

To be a bit more charitable, my reading of this article was not that Markdown is being mistaken for something like Word or TeX, but that Word is being mistaken as necessary or even desired for a lot of what it’s used for when basic markup will do the job just fine.

I put all my apps on my home screen and I keep all non-FOSS apps in a single folder as a reminder to find replacements. The vast majority of my apps are FOSS at this point.

OP specifically mentioned not wanting claws.

I recently went through the process of separating from Google as much as possible here.

As others have said, Nextcloud or Radical or Baikal are all good calendar server options to self-host

On your Android phone, DAVx5 for syncing CalDAV and CardDAV (which the servers listed above use), ICSx5 for any public Google calendars you want to subscribe to (you can almost always get an ICS calendar file link for those), and Etar to interact with said calendars on your phone.

On your computer, Thunderbird is the easiest way to go. There is also the web interface for whatever server you decide to host. There are other options, too. On Linux, I use pimsync + khal/khard.

Caveats:

• In Etar, khal, AND the Nextcloud web UI, I have had lots of trouble with being able to apply updates to calendar events, like a new ICS file containing an updated time or place. The only calendar app I’ve found that handles this correctly is Thunderbird on the desktop.
• Doing things this way separates your email account from your calendar account, which can create some annoyances. Every mainstream mail service these days tightly couples itself with a calendar. For instance, to send invitations for a calendar event that I create on Nextcloud, I also have my email account linked to Nextcloud. You can’t do this if you have Proton or Tuta because of their encryption. When I had Proton, I used Postmark to have a send-only email account from Nextcloud to send out invitations.
• If you want to subscribe to PRIVATE Google calendars (my partner still has Google, so I need to do this), you need to sync a Google account with each device you want to subscribe to that calendar on. There is no way to add it to one of these self-hosted servers. The way that I handle this is by making a throwaway Google account that is only for subscribing to calendars, syncing that to my phone with DAVx5, and while I could sync to Thunderbird on my computer, I pretty much only use Thunderbird when I need to update a calendar event. So, in my case, I use pimsync. To sync a Google account to pimsync, you need to create a fake “app” using a Google account on the Google Cloud Platform, add the CalDAV API and generate credentials, add your calendar sync account to the allowed testing users, and then add the generated credentials to pimsync. It sucks.
• As usual, you can’t sync any Microsoft calendars with anything other than Outlook.

Not self hosted necessarily, but TagStudio is an interesting project worth keeping an eye on https://docs.tagstud.io/

Core technology advantages: integrating seven major features into one

Compared with existing interface technologies, GPMI has seven core advantages: bidirectional multi-stream, bidirectional control, high-power power supply, ecological compatibility, ultra-fast transmission, fast wake-up and full-chain security, leading the comprehensive upgrade of audio and video technology.

“full-chain security”? Sounds like another proprietary tool for DRM. Hard pass. Fuck HDMI, too.

if you decouple your syncing tools from your browser, you’ll be a lot less likely to be locked into a browser you don’t like in the future.

ooo thanks! I haven’t looked into that in a while

I appreciate the way you did things. Here is mine. Mine is a bit more hierarchical, and bit more abstracted (especially in the flake), but I wouldn’t say one way is better than another.

Ah yes, the classic diff eq exam problem

It sounds like what they ultimately want is one place to look at both read-it-later stuff and starred RSS articles. My read is that they are proposing one way to do it, but ultimately it’s not super workable that way. There are no clients I know of that are both RSS clients and read-it-later clients (using pocket, wallabag, or anything else).

If OP wants one place to see both, their best bet is to find a read-it-later server that can generate RSS feeds, subscribe to those, and now everything is RSS and behaves the same. Wallabag is a great option for that and is self-hostable.

This is exactly what I do and it works great.
