Also one thing I don’t see mobilizon doing that luma does well is handling payments. So that’s also a thing that could hinder use by organizers.

That’s great and much appreciated. I’ve been following this platform for years but there wasn’t ever an instance that quite suited me or did I have a good enough reason to set one up. But as I’m getting more excited about dweb and concerns about tech being used against people I am thinking of hosting an instance but also found the https://mobilizon.us/ is actually running and somewhat active. Maybe I can promote it more about dweb folks.

I agree the UI could be improved but also I hit quite a few UX bugs along the way that are pretty bad like not being able to set the date and images disappearing after upload. That being said the US instance is a few versions old so I’m hesitant to open issues since it could be fixed already.

Luma is a wonderful experience and quite popular here in SF. I think it sets a great bar for how the participant experience could be. That being said, it is venture backed and probably not long before it becomes enshittified :/

So I’m thinking I’ll get more involved but I did already open a few issues and one merge request. https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon-instances/-/merge_requests/2

Based on their Matrix chat it seems the dev team only spends Fridays working on it right now so things are slow. I guess some more community code reviews and the like are a way I could help.

Maybe not new, but probably some refurbished ones out there.

Though, I was in Bogota and at a Panamericana store selling new computers I was surprised how many of them were sporting Windows 10 stickers. Didn’t look close enough at the CPUs though.

If you really wanna get started with your own domain I highly recommend just getting https://purelymail.com/ setup for the hosting provider. It’s going to be way cheaper than just about anything and you pay for what you use. I’ve been on it for a few years and never had a problem.

I’m not sure but there is an open letter that you could sign that could have some hints https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40986638

If your laptop supports esim you can checkout https://esimdb.com/ which as a pretty comprehensive list. Most of these are prepaid for X months and you get Y GB of data. So could fit what you need.

What is your use case for navigating? I feel like if I’m in a new place OrganicMaps isn’t so great for discovering POI. But if I’m in a place I already know decently it’s pretty rare I need navigation anyway. I’d like to use OrganicMaps more though :)

Seems like a nice option to have! FFsend is my go to https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend

Writing Wikipedia articles about topics I’m interested in. Great way to learn more and share it with others.

What do you mean it doesn’t support repeated tasks? I have bunch of monthly tasks that show up once per month.

Thanks these are definitely a step in the direction of what I’m looking for!

However, I’m more interested in the GitHub specific stuff like comments on issues and pull requests opened and labels changed. That sort of thing to see what is being worked on.

Looks nice but I wish the clipboard history could be based on number of items and not just time.

Appreciate the kind words :)

This is fantastic thank you! Learn something new every day :)

First, if you can swing it I’d recommend getting a server with a static IP. You can get can get them as cheap as a few bucks a year from https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers ofc with that they may have more downtime than 5/mo boxes.

Anyway, if you don’t wanna pay you can use something like duckdns for dynamic DNS and get a free domain that automatically points to your new IP whenever it changes. Works well if you’re hosting from home. :)

On ticktick you can make a task like “cook dinner at 6pm” and it will auto set the reminder to be at 6pm.

I’d love that for tasks.org but like you said I can maybe implement it sever side :)

See: https://blog.ticktick.com/2020/09/03/ticktick-my-productivity-app/#Natural_language_input_recognition

I love tasks.org on Android but God I wish they’d add some NLP to parse out times. That’s the one thing I miss from other apps. IIRC The issue in GitHub basically says that there isn’t an easy library to do it with right now.

It’s so annoying to me that I’m considering trying to make a server side app to do this. Just pull the caldav and parse the titles and set the due date. Can’t be that hard right?

It also helps a lot if you set the IP/domain manually so it doesn’t always have to talk to the relay first.

Yes you can pretty easily selfhost sync for AntennaPod and Kasts with https://github.com/bohwaz/micro-gpodder-server (there are more official options that are heaver)
