It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn't always work.

The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.

I have used both, and syncthing is the most stable in my opinion. But you will get sync conflicts/ duplicates if you work on the same file

For working on markdown files you should additionally look into https://silverbullet.md , it's great ๐Ÿ™‚. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline

Yes, sorry - I meant the storage space on mobile phone. or a laptop.

I don't have a solution really, but I'm also thinking along your lines.

For files I share with my girlfriend, I have set up syncthing. So my server and our phones have a copy of the files, I like this solution. But it wouldn't work for large amounts of data.

For my server stuff, it is backed up encrypted on backblaze. so I guess that is lost. Most files are also rsynced onto a usb drive connected to a raspberry pi (not encrypted). So that should be accessible, except for a linux'y filesystem (probably ext4) that doesn't work on windows

I agree. It is under rapid development.

I replaced memos + markdown file editing with silverbullet some months back and I use it more and more. It has optional offline support

Have you considered silverbullet? the documentation uses silverbullet, and is editable (but not persistent) so you can test how it feels

I tried it briefly, but it doesn't/didn't support disk encryption. For my laptop this is a must, so I'll wait until it is implemented and out of alpha.

I use Debian + Gnome without custom extensions and like it.

I don't use too many programs, so in the overview I have Firefox in position 1, signal in position 2 and steam in 3. Then I use Win+1,2,3 to launch them.

For other programs, I hit Win and then start typing the name and hit enter.

For switching between windows, i use alt-tab or alt-(key above tab). If I have many windows or playing game in full screen, I hit Win-key once and choose the window i want.

I don't use workspaces, never found a good flow. And I rarely miss a taskbar.

Hear hear. Not allowing spare keys doesn't make sense. I have as many spare keys for my digital stuff as my apartment. But yeah, too few sites support that

Nice!

In my opinion, the arkham games got progressively better (except origins) - my favorite is Arkham Knight.

[โ€“] conrad82 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Have you looked into the Batman Arkham series? They have great stories, and feel kinda Zelda in that you get new tools as you progress. There are puzzles which I don't always love, but maybe you do.

There is combat, but you can play on easy. And you upgrade your skills, but it is not very crucial to the experience.

And also maybe portal? Not very rpg, but environment changes as you progress.

I used yadm for a while and liked it. It is a git wrapper that makes git'ing your home folder for config files less messy

Now I don't care so much for keeping settings anymore and use mainly vanilla settings, therefore I stopped using it
