Q: How do you tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?

A: One will see you later, and the other in a while.

This joke lead me down a fascinating rabbit hole learning about Egypt’s name. Thank you for that (:

This is the first time in far too long that it feels like there’s an org willing and able to throw down to back the individuals against the corpos.

I know there are others, but it often amounts to fighting in court which, while valuable, feels more removed, slower, and doesn’t have the same immediate, tangible feeling of support like “We’re setting up a repo to reverse engineer your corpo shit and we’re even going to make it better. Bring it.”

DumbAssets

Or specifically for vehicles

LubeLogger

If the tasks are associated with assets (e.g. change the smoke alarm battery) then DumbAssets sounds like what you’d want.

I’d love if there was a Gravatar-style thing you could choose hexes like these to display as a digital badge. Even better if it was self-hosted.

A little of this, a little of that…I may also have a problem… >_>;

140 running containers and 33 stopped (that I spin up sometimes for specific tasks or testing new things), so 173 total on Unraid. I have them gouped into:

• 118 Auto-updates (low chance of breaking updates or non-critical service that only I would notice if it breaks)
• 55 Manual-updates (either it’s family-facing e.g. Jellyfin, or it’s got a high chance of breaking updates, or it updates very infrequently so I want to know when that happens, or it’s something I want to keep particular note of or control over what time it updates e.g. Jellyfin when nobody’s in the middle of watching something)

I subscribe to all their github release pages via FreshRSS and have them grouped into the Auto/Manual categories. Auto takes care of itself and I skim those release notes just to keep aware of any surprises. Manual usually has 1-5 releases each day so I spend 5-20 minutes reading those release notes a bit more closely and updating them as a group, or holding off until I have more bandwidth for troubleshooting if it looks like an involved update.

Since I put anything that might cause me grief if it breaks in the manual group, I can also just not pay attention to the system for a few days and everything keeps humming along. I just end up with a slightly longer manual update list when I come back to it.

The cheekiness of the github page had me smirking, chuckling, and nodding along the whole way. I of course spun this up immediately along with the Home Assistant integration…the number must go up after all.

DumbAssets, part of the DumbWare suite

I think BookLore ticks all your boxes. It has opds as well as kobo syncing. You can also read via the built-in reader on the web to keep things synced. It supports separate libraries so you can keep your textbooks and research papers separate.

It’s being pretty actively developed with new features every few weeks. I’ve been very pleased with it after trying half a dozen other alternatives that were never quite smooth enough.

Haven’t tried it with graphic novels but BookLore is being very actively developed so if it doesn’t already support them it may be a worthy feature request.

Sounds like DumbAssets might work for you.

That’s not too far off what you can do here. https://www.nationstates.net/

There are several decent note apps that strive to replace Google Keep, but they all seem to fall short on the one feature that keeps me on Keep: Reminders. Being able to jot a note and have it pop up later today, on the weekend, or on an arbitrary recurring schedule is the primary use-case for me. Joplin’s come the closest but the reminders were unreliable, and an unreliable reminder is a useless reminder.

There’s also something to be said for the number of clicks/menus/presses it takes to create a note. If it’s meant to be just a quick note when something pops into your head then it’s nice if it doesn’t take more than a click or two to get it down.

One last thing. A feature that I think would greatly enhance adoption would be an option to import existing Keep notes from a Google Takeout into your Simple Notes.

I pitched Redline to my partner as “It’s a racing movie but they cranked the ‘anime’ knob up to 11. It’s great.” They loved it.

Thank you for that link. I found that page to be quite enlightening.
