Yes, it’s just sway

I’ve been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don’t visit the site if I can help it, I don’t login, I don’t “like & subscribe”, I don’t see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don’t see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

I’d go for Alpine Linux in such case.

You may want to check out numen, targeted towards power-users.

I’ll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it’s often hard to find good books in other languages. I’d also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

• (German)
  • “Die Welten der Skiir” trilogy (by Dirk van den Boom): https://bookwyrm.social/book/593373/s/die-welten-der-skiir-1 is really great . He also wrote another trilogy (Die Reise der Scythe) which is also quite nice.
  • “3517 Anno Domini: Wir waren Götter” by Raik Thorstad. Note that his is a primarily an M/M romance, but it has a nice dystopian scifi setting.
• (Spanish)
  • “En un lugar llamado tierra” - I read this long ago, don’t remember much: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979935/s/en-un-lugar-llamado-tierra
  • La señal - https://bookwyrm.social/book/979918/s/la-senal
• (French) The works by Jules Verne should probably be mentioned here, despite being written well a century ago. “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”, as already mentioned in another comment, is a must-read classic.
  • “Helstrid” - I have this one on my e-reader for a while but haven’t properly started it yet: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1289177/s/helstrid , so I can’t say if it’s any good.
• (Dutch) Long ago as a teen I once read “Coriolis, de stormplaneet” and liked it: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979934/s/coriolis-de-stormplaneet

I’m using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

• make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
• time tracking functions
• synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail

As a kooikerhondje owner, I approve of this post :)

Let’s not downvote the poor guy just because we lost him to Apple. The comment is on topic and people are allowed to make different choices/mistakes 😉

The more kooikerhondjes the better! :)

A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo

I can definitely see where you’re coming from and I have similar experiences. I got fairly fed up with the fact that the modem often doesn’t come up again after suspend on the pinephone. And if you disable sleep like I often do, you often find a dead battery. Despite all the great work of so many people, I’d have hoped for some more stability in the ecosystem by now.

I also took up a spare Android phone unfortunately, but I’m really fighting with its interface, I want my sxmo !

Nice to see you here too, with a brand new instance even!

I use newsboat for all my RSS needs, which is pretty much my main entry point for a lot of things:

• News sites
• Various blogs
• Youtube channels
• Podcasts
• I used to have some subreddits in there too, but those were ritually deleted after June 12th of course

Jes, ankaŭ mi estis bone surprizita. Sed vi tute pravas pri la kodon kaj datumaron, estas bedaŭrinda afero.

Interese, ĉu tiu biblioteko antaŭe troviĝis en la UEA centra oficejo en Roterdamo? Mi bone rememoras la librojn kaj la etoson tie, mi vizitis la lokon kelkfoje antaŭ multaj jaroj.

Yep, people are enthusiastic about self hosting and like talking about what they host :)

When I am sending? Well, once things are set up properly I’m pretty confident that things arrive (though nobody can ever be 100% sure of course). I also tend to mail to the same recipient domains a lot, like for work and hobby projects, so once those are tested you get pretty confident.

Unnoticed downtime is usually quickly noticed, I depend on my server for a lot of things. Senders are often resilient enough to keep things in their queue and try a few times. There’s also a fallback MX registry at my (3rd party) DNS host which will queue stuff in case the primary MX goes down.
