This isn't philosophy anymore, it's just game theory

journalctl -fu servicename

If I am concerned about a specific service, and can trigger the problematic behavior.

In my head it stands for "fuck you" ☺️

This cannot continue.

  • Radicale hosts my calendars and contacts
  • zero-hassle setup in Thunderbird for both of those things
  • DAVx on Android works seamlessly for calendar and contacts Sync
  • Fossify calendar to view, edit calendar
  • default contact app for contacts
  • Infcloud as a web frontend for Radicale. Not pretty, but absolutely functional (and I hardly ever need it thanks to Android calendar app / Thunderbird)

Haven't tried todo lists yet, but I would imagine they are similarly hassle-free.

The only annoyance I have is that DAVx is required at all, but I'd suspect that's an Android/Google issue? IDK.

But anyways, this setup works flawlessly for me.

Thunderbird doesn't even need a plugin. Just "add new calendar" > "on the network" > enter the URL. Done.

Same for contacts.

Oof.

My employer pays a buttload of money to CircleCI - for extensive checks (build, lint, formatting, full test suite, as well as custom scripts for translation converage, docs,... for the full tech stack) on every push. Reviews start only when everything passes.

I think you have given me a new-found appreciation for the reasoning behind that decision... 😄

Lmao, what, that's wild. How did they justify this??

Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.

But that wall clock is glorious. It's a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you're cooking.

I'm currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I'll have to find an alternative for this clock

Did someone say Gemini?
