  • Yes and all that technical debt, complexity and loss in decentralization could be avoided by simply increasing the block size. BCH for example has zero-conf transactions and the average fee is also <$0.01.

    But that would mean that you'd be able to use it as an actual means of exchange instead of this crippled "Internet gold" bastardization that BTC has become.





  • Delta Chat is quite good, it's an email client thats built like a messenger app. It's E2EE with Autocrypt lvl 1, you can use it with most email services, and they have a self hostable/hosted "chatmail" service that you can also use if regular email services are slowing down the messages (gmail isn't the best for this). It also supports apps and games in chat using the webXDC standard.


    • Terminal: termux is the best, just don't use the google play version, it's outdated. Just use the fdroid version.
    • EBook Reader: I've used most of them, I really like KOReader for it's built in calibre functionality.
    • file sync: syncthing full stop.
    • file sharing: Warpinator if its your own machines, otherwise go to pairdrop.net
    • IDE: Acode on fdroid is probably the best mobile-optimized one I've tried.
    • Backup: Titanium Backup is probably still the best option for backing up appdata.

    Hope this helps!











  • There isn't much more you can do to streamline that workflow for ebooks, though the default Calibre library filesystem of subfolders by author makes it frustrating if your library is large and the books author is towards the end of the alphabet.

    My new workflow (which is my old workflow but it's been broken since Calibre companion was bought by some asshole) is use syncthing to sync your calibre autoimport folder, then use the Calibre reading list plugin to upload it to your device next time it connects.

    For my reading app I use KOreader, it will allow you to connect to Calibre as a wireless device and let you browse your OPDS server if you have it enabled. Also it's available on basically anything.

    I eventually intend to host my Calibre library on my server and run it through a reverse proxy so I don't have to worry about being connected to my home network for updated, but that's a bit further down the road lol.
