Personally I don’t agree that MD is bad but I’ve seen some opinions that Org Mode is better

In the past I migrated my notes from Obsidian to Logseq. Both have a bit different approach, but basically the move was to modify dir/file.md to be dir__file.md

We are not very tech savy to set things up

I think, in such case, you should rather look for a service hosted for you

For example
https://elest.io/open-source/nextcloud
https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Can we just buy a big hard drive and somehow hook it to our wifi? This is consider self hosted right? Does that mean medias will only get synced when we are within the house’s wifi?

Yes, it’s called a NAS. Correct. Correct

The thread might get locked here under “no support” rule, self-hosting comms will be a better fit

Edit: and if you want to dive into self-hosting, I guess, check out yunohost and LibrePhotos. Immich is also popular one

🤨 just a few days ago - maybe up to two weeks, there was a post somewhere here linking to article that said teachers are noticing positive effects on scores. It might have been Australia, though

For that I use https://f-droid.org/packages/com.akylas.aard2
The slob dumps require a bit of hunting but other than that it works well for me

I like this one https://f-droid.org/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera

fixing a smartphone is not the same as modifying systems that keep the lights on for our country

From what I’ve seen around, apart from QC and cut corners, that is bull

I think some peertube instances also have an option to stream

You mean that the entries UEFI looks for are not configurable? In that case isn’t it enough to just copy the efi application under the path it expects?

They’re locking down kernels now?

Gentoo compiles everything. Like, even the command is like “compile world”. It’s not as straight edge as LinuxFromScratch and AFAIK they’ve started having precompiled packages sometime in the last few years but the core approach is that you configure compilation flags system-wide and recompile whatever needs recompilation every update

I think the biggest question will be peripherals. Having a laptop where there are no drivers for its WiFi or similar can be tough. Otherwise I’ve been happy with my arch arm servers

Sometimes there might be no docker image for base image of your project. But you should be able to build it yourself

Forks are a central part of the open-source ecosystem and are expressly intended to enable further development, adaptation, and also alternative governance models.

Yes, but the immovability of *GPL licenses is what protects the projects from exploitation. OO put an addition to that license that the name is part of the copyrighted thing. So if for whatever reason the work done by NC is not being merged into upstream, or is not being fast enough, there should be two OO. One from OO and a fork from NC. If the code-bases drift apart, well, now we have two incompatible OnlyOffices. In that case those additions might have been a dumb idea. But I think we can’t afford to have exceptions from enforceability of the license

This one is great

That feature was moved to displaying icons (this is old stuff, don’t worry)

I think that is not a dummy account. It still comes with all the bells and whistles. If that’s acceptable, then one could just use “create an account” on gmail page

Of course not. The point of their accounts is to lock you in their ecosystem

Fortunately this has already been patched but still, what a fuckup

Chromium needs no introduction (used to be an interesting browser until Google’s mask “don’t be evil” fell and straightforwardly revealed their corporate face and farce), Firefox have been “welcoming the new AI overlords” for a while, text browsers (such as Lynx) are far from feasible for a CAPTCHA(and Anubis)-driven web…

To me the hope lies in Firefox forks

Unfortunately not every company has a reasonable Head of IT and/or policies
