No need, at least on Firefox you can hold down shift (or alt? I never remember) + right click to bypass such restrictions

Tasks.org and logseq here, ended up being the simplest way after bouncing off grocy and other overly detailed systems.

Tip: before going through with hosting NextCloud, you could get /e/ accounts, they don't give much space but since it's just rebranded NextCloud, you can try it out and see if it works for you.

Currently we use several tasks boards so chores are separate by type (shopping list, maintenance, bills, chores) and logseq's journal on the app makes it flexible to take notes or whatever you need (audio notes, pics, links, etc)

Wholeheartedly agree, but most people wont do it, so you end up with signal for 1 or 2 friends, telegram for a few others, and all the crap ones for the rest (whatsapp, slack, teams, messenger, etc)

Ive ditched every messaging app but signal and telegram, and its really annoying sometimes

While I was researching I found out about Squeezebox, as there are people using it in combination with HomeAssistant. Both solutions you and @cfi provided seem pretty doable, and I've already been tinkering with Mopidy on armbian. Snapcast is something I've never heard of, and I'm definetly going to tinker around it, I'd love to be able to sync several speakers around the house, specially for parties and gatherings.

That being said I think they are a bit overkill for the usecase, and I'm looking for something even simpler, maybe repurposing the guts of a cheap BT speaker I have lying around, see if I can find somewhere on the PCB where I can tap line level audio output and solder it directly inside the amp/sub box, along with a small power supply to run without batteries. (I know there are ready-made BT modules for this, but where's the fun in that!)

Used to run eOS several years ago, as I was coming off using OSX. I quickly realised it was more of a skin deep imitation and ended up switching to gnome, that keeps all the drag&drop actions across all apps. If you have some spare time, give fedora a go, which comes with a vanilla gnome install. Flatpaks are well integeated, speedy tested updates and installing nvidia drivers is 2 clicks on the software app (scroll down on the main page to see the "drivers" section)

Librera reader off f-droid works great for me

A middle ground "normie-tech" I use: after picking the cycle, whip out your phone and start a countdown timer. Mine at least can save such timers and I can name them.

I got fed up that my washing machine lies on its timer: it doesn't count the drying cycle and then it takes another 3 minutes to unlock the door. So I timed that once. For example a 42 min timer for the quick cycle (30 wash + 9 dry + 3 stupid lockout)

IIRC Uber has patented dynamic pricing based on a ton of data, including your phone battery being low. I wouldn't be surprised if they hiked your fare just because you were on the car shop.

Obviously they say its not in use but who could check

I'm on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I'm using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.
