I’ve used pyTK to make some apps for personal use. Good stuff, somewhat easy to use once you follow some tutorials.

Now that you’ve dubbed OP a tech person…
Hey OP, can you help me fix my printer? It’s only printing “RED RUM RED RUM” for some reason.
Thanks!
So do you run a tailscale exit node on one of the public clouds or a VPS provider like DigitalOcean?
Nice app! I do have an android device sitting around doing nothing. Will use this app if I ever get into it!
Ah, I’m not going there yet. OpenWRT is an eventual goal. But right now I’m stuck with devices that do not support it. I’m ok with alternate solutions.
huh. Never thought about public pihole servers. So nice of those folks running them.
I don’t understand how you’re saying you’ve stopped self-hosting VPN and are still using tailscale. Are you using their SaaS service? Does that allow you to set your own DNS? Do they have speed limits? Are they zero-logs?
I’d like to add to the voice about Memo. It’s very nice, stable, loads of features if you want them and actively growing.
I think of my “diary” as a stream of consciousness. Thus Memo makes sense. It feels like a personal Twitter feed.
Tagging, photo upload, links. All that works great in Memo.
I use this almost every time I need to launch something on my Portainer setup. It’s not perfect but works like a charm to convert simpler docker runs into yaml files.
Bro OP’s not talking about genAI. OP’s talking deepfake. Big difference. You should be pointing them to DeepFaceLab, not SD.
Bro what.
Hey on that 3tb thing… can I pick and choose folders or parts of folders from the backups?
Or, say, I want to move stuff around in folders… is that possible after the backup has reached them and is only visible to me through their web interface?
The analogy broke down somewhere as I wrote it. Perhaps I should have said “mobile” instead. 😃
OP, you say those folks only launch a chrome browser and so aren’t choosing Linux themselves. Fine. But looking at it from the system perspective, they’re inadvertently learning how to use Linux. How to make WiFi selection in that interface. How to deal with patches and upgrades and vulnerabilities and hacks. Sure, they’re basically only using the browser. But do they never download a file? Open it in the system file browser? Attach it back in the browser?
All of these user interactions are what define a person’s experience on a system. If you think of one of the main differences between iOS and Android, you’ll see how in iOS files are a second class citizen and apps are first class citizens. That means iOS defers to the app first and then considers a file as an independent entity. That’s a strategic decision that defines how generations of iOS users perceive the world around them. It’s what helped companies like Notion become the behemoths they are because everyone accepted that if you want to build a knowledge base, you can just start writing text in an app or browser and not consider files as the first point of contact for the knowledge base user.
By using Linux on a day to day basis, those users are slowly unlearning what they’ve come to understand is the default behavior of a system - most likely whatever Windows does.
Somewhere down the line they’ll crib and hate on windows enough to what something different. That might end up being Mac, but for a large swathe of people, it might end up being some Linux variant too.
Sugar in a raw tomato. It’s really fun to eat and grosses a LOT of people out!
Instapaper. I gave in and started paying for their subscription. It’s worth it. No other tool has come close to the simplicity, cleanliness, and power of Instapaper for me. It can handle most links, most ad removal, most paywalls.
The team became stagnant for a long time. But they recently declared they want to start reinvesting time into the product. That included doubling the premium pricing. But it’s the first change in pricing in almost 10 years. So it’s long overdue.
For iOS folks, a-shell and iSH can do what termux is doing on Android. Ffmpeg, most userland Linux things.
Both are open source.
Haha no.
Recently made some jam. Was really impressed by how low tech the process was. Just cook some fruits, separate the roughage and branches and seeds, etc. Add sugar and cook it again. I believe you also have to add pectin if the fruit you’re turning into jam doesn’t have a lot of it.
Then bottle the stuff and enjoy it with bread for a long long time!
