  • They recently finally merged teams, chats, and discussions into one tab, which was probably one of the main pain points and reason why I missed to many messages posted on teams.

    The chat is still a mess and I hate it. The calls don’t work about 50% of the time and even tho it is just a PWA in Chrome, it manages to give others echo - not the usual “person X has shitty mic and headphones” type, no, it gives literal 1:1 and the person has to restart tramd and join the call again. The inability to sometimes join the same call on phone and laptop is fucked up - fucking Skype for Businrss could do it, why not this piece of shit that has been developed for several years?!



  • Super easy with Docker, and also quite portable. Usually is a copy paste and minor changes that irk me, but now I don’t have to explain my family what are torrents, how are torrents, what is a tracker, give them my credentials, and teach them to SSH to the server in order to copy a file let alone show them how to properly name it in order for Jellyfin to correctly recognize it.

    All I have to do is log them in the app once, and tell them "If you want a movie, find it here, and it will probably be available in Jellyfin in and hour or two.










  • Just to post an alternative (correct me if there is something wrong with the app) but I have been using Futo keyboard for a week now and I’ve been pleayed. Clipboard disabled by default, drag typing, local autocorrect that you can load any dictionary (as a file), can use local text or voice ML model that you have to download yourself (their site has a browser), customizable quick actions, smart key hitbox enlarging (increases key hitbox according to how likely it is to come next). It is free, but asks for a support of about 9€.





  • There a million ways, and you will probably find tons of tutorials each different - Docker, Docker Compose, native install, VMWare, Kubernetes, Portainer, etc. I recommend starting with a clean machine - preferably with an attached monitor - and installing your favorite Linux distro (Ubuntu is among the easiest), getting Docker and Docker Compose running, and familiarizing yourself with these technologies.

    Then you can start with a simple app like Paperless (document digitization), Vikunja (TODOs), BookStack (wiki), or PrivateBin (pastebin), getting it running and persist state over a period of time, then setting up a reverse proxy so you don’t have to use IPs all the time (with just editing your hosts file to point a URL to IP of your machine), and then it is a free world.

    Of course, having the whole setup secure, independent, and easily manageable is partially eyperience and partially understanding your needs.

    You will probably even find whole ready-to-deploy git repositories that are easily configurable, so you can go with that too.
