There are most definitely some useful bots, like the recent tldr that I’ve encountered. I find them incredibly valuable. They should be used sparingly though.

“Fun” joke or game bots could be okay with if they were in specific communities that wanted them (which would be communities I’m not a part of, 😁), but not in general. I tend to be a purist and like to keep things as vanilla as possible.

Good luck!

I’ve got the same hw in mine. Although I did buy and install ram to max it out. It’s not the most powerful machine out there, but it’s plenty enough for us.

This of course presumes that you have a Synology disk station. They come in a variety of different models.

I’m surprised at how much I’m able to serve from my device. I use it for cloud storage, file thinking across devices, photo management and backup across devices, ebook management, running a game server for my family, running an evernote-like service, etc etc.

It’s been really good to have full control over all my information and not have to pay ever increasing fees to various companies for various services.

If you wish. You can set it up to only sync locally (intranet only) or you may expose it via DNS and port forwarding.

Yes! This! I’m not familiar with DFWP, but next time I’m on my PC, I’m adding it.

I’m using Synology photos. Auto backup for everyone’s phones. Shared common library we move things into for all our photos. I miss some of the ai search capability of Google, but never enough to do anything but self host.

The sequel novella is just as short, but I was fortunate to be able to read them back to back. I enjoyed them so much and found them so refreshing in so many ways.

I don’t remember The Priory having the same pacing issues as it’s prequel, so I hope you really really enjoy it. And to be clear, I liked the prequel a lot too.

What is happening?! 🤪 We can blame Connect for Lemmy in moving this to the top level… blame alyaza which is more fun.

points accusingly

Ack! Connect for Lemmy bugged out and my response died with it…

sighs maybe later…

Btw, meltdown does look interesting.

Yeah. I just finished a book that I really enjoyed called A Day Of Fallen Night which is a pretty cool to The Priory Of The Orange Tree if you’ve heard of it. It really was a great read, but the pacing and chosen method for organizing the various character viewpoints made my skin crawl more than once. It was frustrating, but one of those books that I really wanted to read regardless.

There is once a book that I read through, because once I’m committed I find it very hard to stop reading, but it was by far the most horrendous experience ever because the author didn’t use quotes for the entire book and I had a real hard time following the dialogue.

Just finished also a couple of novellas which were a really nice and different from the more intense (e.g. action heavy) books I tend to read. They were the first books I’ve read where the protagonist is non-binary and referred to as they. It was challenging in some ways but also very good for me as well. A Psalm For The Wild-built and it’s sequel A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.

Writing styles can certainly make a break books.

That Meltdown book looks interesting!

currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month

What books have you been reading / into?

I’ve had the same problem and mentioned as much. I’m thinking there’s no way to search posts yet.

I’ve been switching between Jerboa and Connect for this reason.

if they can’t connect for a bit, that’s fine, they can work on the local files and sync up next time I’m back on the home network.

I suppose this is what I’m most concerned about. I currently use a similar situation for my password manager database. We have Windows and Android clients that connect to a shared database file and I feel like I’m constantly having to manually synchronize the file because it remains open so long on each client. I’d like to avoid this situation.

Joplin can sync using files on the device filesystem

This weekend, I’m going to attempt to get it running on my NAS and do this.

I may also try the other syncing via cloud at the same time just to test.

Your experience is what i am looking to accomplish. I’d like to transfer everything Evernote to a self-hosted FOSS application I can serve on my Synology NAS. I would access my notes primarily on my phone (Android) and sometimes Windows. AFIAK, Joplin would sync to my Synology NAS where it’s hosted… so I’m a little perturbed by the additional used of Syncthing.

Would someone explain the need/desire for Joplin+Syncthing?

I am unimaginably sleepy

This.

Loooong weekend with a very heavy Monday. My mind is frayed after work today, but I was actually able to make decent progress on something that’s been on huge stress. I feel good about that. It certainly isn’t an engineering masterpiece, but it does the job which makes me super glad! Looking forward to getting it near complete tomorrow.

Now, I just wanna go to bed, but I promised my two youngest another (what feels like) ten million rounds of Smash Bros. 💫 😬

As much as mushy as my brain feels in the moment, I have a lot to be grateful for. 💜

Plus, there’s birthday cake left over from this weekend. 🤪
