Anyone using this? How is it?
The ultimate WYGIWYG editor!
I’ve been using todo.txt for tasks for about a month now—it’s dead simple, supports all the bells and whistles you mentioned; and, with the topydo CLI, you can very easily make yourself a kanban interface using its columns UI. I sync the files with my iPhone and use Todooo on iOS, which works beautifully.
As for notes, I just write simple text files with my favorite editor.
Maintaining complex systems of interconnected notes, I’ve found, most often does not pay off for the enormous time investment required (some specific use cases aside); tags, links, etc. I have all found to be superfluous—any kind of grep
integration in the editor is all that’s needed for finding things.
I write in either markdown or Typst, because basic Typst is essentially the same as markdown anyway, and because I’ve found it very useful to keep notes in the same format I write longer-form documents in.
This is absolutely nuts—even macOS doesn’t have a single program that does all of this.
Wonderfully absurd. I always liked using God mode—great way to learn the keys without getting Emacs-pinky!
Cool to see COSMIC in the wild!
Also, tell us about your experience with Mullvad—seems to me like it’s 90% similar to Librewolf.
Chezmoi looks interesting. I’ve just been using xstow.
As far as where you get the music from, you’ll have to determine for yourself what audio quality you require.
To test this, use something like Soulseek to get a high quality version of a song you are very familiar with, and then get the same song off of YouTube with yt-dlp
(better yet—do this for a few songs).
Then, open both songs in separate media player windows, randomize the layout of said windows so you don’t remember which is which, plug in your favorite headphones and see if you can guess which is which.
For me, I found the difference between a lossless or 320kbps download from Soulseek and a 128-196kbps download from YouTube to be negligible (or outright nonexistent) in most cases, so I mostly download off of YouTube, which is very simple to do.
Depending on where you get the files, you may need to add metadata yourself. For this, I recommend MusicBrainz Picard.
The people I know in my program (undergrad History) use their computers for little more than Google Chrome (specifically Google’s Office suite), a PDF reader (sometimes also Google Chrome), sometimes Zotero, and sometimes MS Word. We get a lot of Mac’s around here, so one can imagine Microsoft products are not highly relied upon, generally speaking.
Everything’s through the browser nowadays, so I’d say just pick a stable distro, install 2 or three browsers in case something doesn’t work (like Google Docs with Firefox in my experience…), and submit everything as PDF.
Can’t speak much to LibreOffice as I write my papers in Typst (and before that in LaTeX, which got me brownie points with some of the older professors), which I find much faster, easier, and more flexible than WYSIWYG word processors.
A fine day that will be!
I recommend the PDF Expert app by Readdle. I’ve never paid a cent for the pro features, but I like the free dark mode.
The most satisfying part of the NixOS process is deploying to bare metal and watching it work exactly as you intend it to
I know Luke set up https://based.cooking/ a few years ago—is that the sort of thing you’re looking for?
Hey!
I’ve wanted something very similar—specifically, a plain-text database. I recently came across GNU recutils, which I haven’t had time to play around with yet, but which seems like it fits the bill (at least for me). There’s a couple YouTube videos on it—I encourage you to check it out!
Thank you! I was just suffering from this an hour ago…

I tried imv
and hated it. I just use feh
(through XWayland) or mpv
now.
What’s that tablet it’s running on?
If you’re on Wayland, fuzzel just keeps getting better each release.
