Excellent, thanks!

Pine64 has a RISC V tablet

I wear my bangle.js smartwatch daily. Even better than the pinetime, and tons of apps.

Proper logging, to easily identify problems.

Not as far as I know

The more plugins you use, the easier you are to profile. If you value your privacy, try to limit your plugins.

No. Rsync works fine, and it is easily testable (untested backups are no backups)

I just wrote a book in Latex and it’s really easy. You just learn as you go. The only problem was when a publisher required a docx-document. It was possible using pandex, but my end notes were all screwed up.

Exactly. Using CalyxOS myself.

Rsync script that does deltas per day using hardlinks. Found on the Arch wiki. Works like a charm.

I moved to Emby, then to Jellyfin. Also, the other thing that bothered me was that with Plex I noticed I had an online account where I could access all my files. In other words, Plex was using my local data, which was the straw.

I stopped using Plex when I needed an online account to access my local instance.

I just don’t bother with all the categorizing and tagging. I just dump the files in a per album folder and that’s enough for me to find what I need.

Why do you find Matrix bloated?

They are also irl. Are they too far away for you?

I sometimes find my mind wandering when I’m reading a book out loud to my kid. I also feel bad about it.

I use Kanboard.

Loved it too. Easily most enjoyable book that year.

I’m self-hosting my mail server for all kinds of neat tricks, like turning mailing lists into RSS feeds and putting attached bills in the right folder. But it is tricky to pull off, because 90% of all email is spam so you must take that seriously because otherwise nobody will accept you mail. One thing I learned quickly is not to use PGP. They almost always and up in spam boxes.

I switched from radicale to baikal because vdirsyncer (which I then used) didn’t agree with radicale on the caldav standard. And I’m very happy with Filestash. It’s fast and does the only thing I need it do do, stash files.

BTW I used to use NextCloud, but that was way too much work and I really like tools that do just one thing and do it well.

Sorry for necrobumping this, but perhaps after two years we can in fact see where this is going. While 9to5Google claims Google is going full speed ahead with the os, Ars Technica reports that Fuchsia was hit among the hardest during all the tech lay-offs at the start of this year, losing 16% of its workforce, while Google averaged 6%. Perhaps that means there’s hope.

It seems unlikely that any os, even by Google, would be able to pose a serious threat to Linux’ current over 99% server dominance. However, it could be a threat to the FOSS community were it to replace the Android kernel. Google has been moving functionality from Android to Google Play for quite some time already. If they continue this, Android will eventually end up being only a Linux kernel, which can than be replaced by the Fuchsia kernel with a mandatory update to all phones with Google Play. No end-user would be impacted by this, since all the apps would simply move over too.

This would however be problematic for /e/, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS and the like. They would be left behind with AOSP, and no apps except the ones found in F-Droid. That means no banking apps, no mandatory government apps (think Corona) and nothing else that is only provided by official institutes and corporations. In fact, they would be worse off than people using Ubuntu Touch/PostmarketOS et al. now, because using Waydroid they can still use many apps from the Play Store.
