An eclectic #nerdy #weirdo.

In addition to tech, #Linux, and other things #FLOSS, I’m also into #travel, jam bands (mostly Grateful Dead), music festivals, and anything related to exploring the #cosmos.

All puns are intended.

  • I used to use Joplin, I liked that it integrated with my Nextcloud, and the markdown format. However, the way that it handles the markdown files was too black-boxey to me, with the way it split them up in a weird scheme.

    Now I use Ghostwriter with straight markdown files inside my Nextcloud folder. So I still get the syncing functionality, but a more flexible setup that doesn’t require a specific app to access all of my notes.




  • In my experience, snaps are better for servers, and flatpaks are better for desktops.

    I haven’t used snaps for a couple years, so they may have fixed this, but I’ve found flatpaks have less issues interacting with peripherals that aren’t mice/keyboards without fenagling with app permissions. A number of snap apps just wouldn’t work without disabling containment entirely (aka “classic”).

    Flatpak permissions can be manipulated from system settings in Plasma, and there’s also Flatseal. I am not aware of an equivalent for snaps; doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, I haven’t kept up with what’s available for snap for some time.


  • I understand why people are upset, because Red Hat has a communication problem. The way this change was presented was very much “we’re making this change immediately without any warning & nominal explanation.”

    If they presented it as “in 60~90 days, we’re going to make these changes to address such-n-such problems, so we can continue to be sustainable & support the Linux ecosystem,” I’m not sure that the outrage would’ve been as loud or widespread.

    I don’t think a lot of the people yelling at Red Hat realize that Linux wouldn’t be where it is today without Red Had.
