But when I used Glinet’s WireGuard, it got cut down to roughly 35 with the same VPN

How old is this article 🤔 I use the AXT1800 travel router as my home router and get 500mbps on Wireguard.

Use a custom domain on Protonmail (which includes Simplelogin) and you won’t have any issues. It’s a grand total of $5 per year for the domain.

Have you got an example I can test? I switched to Firefox mobile over a year ago and I can’t think of any time I’ve come across a site that didn’t work.

I bought the aluminium and loved it so much I upgraded to the titanium. No regrets, although I can’t say there’s much difference except for the weight feels better.

I haven’t used any other safety razors, but I can’t imagine how anything could be better. It’s so good I can shave with just cold water (no shaving cream) and it still comes out perfect.

I use Obsidian for this. I create template notes for each activity with all the checkboxes, then when it’s time to do the activity I just go “Create new note from template” and choose the right template.

Read the article:

In the case of AIVSX (one of the funds Dave has relied on for a long time), this fund has outperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 1% per year going back to 1935.

Ramsay says: “I mean if you’re making 12 in good mutual funds and the S&P has averaged 11.8”

Look at a chart:

🤨

In Logseq, everything is a nested list. This feels like a limitation, but I’ve been preferring it. The decision is made for you: you’re going to jot this information down as a list. So then you just start writing it.

I really appreciate you posting this. I’m a long-time Obsidian user, and an Evernote user before that, and I never “got” Logseq. I just couldn’t understand what people saw in an app that didn’t let you “write” anything. I’ve tried to start using Logseq so many times and just given up because the interface made no sense.

Thanks to your comment I finally get it! I prefer to be using something open-source, so I’m going to give Logseq another go, now that I finally understand it, and see how that approach feels.

Joplin stores its files inside a database. Obsidian stores all notes as individual plaintext Markdown files.

In the first instance, that’s clearly more future-proof and robust - your notes are immediately available in any application without a layer of abstraction. You can’t have a single file corrupt and destroy all your notes.

I vastly prefer it for that reason. I want to know these notes are still going to work fine in 10 years, and be easily accessible.

Oh thank god. I’m on the $10 plan and I wasn’t using it on mobile because it’s so easy to hit 1000 searches on desktop.

That limit is just something that always hangs around at the back of your mind and you had to keep remembering to use Google for currency or unit conversions etc.

Now I can just use Kagi 👍

AnyType is an open-source alternative to Notion which recently launched:

https://anytype.io/

I last ran it myself a couple of years ago, and it was fine. These days I’m using Beeper, and I haven’t had any dropouts as an end user. If there are issues, they’re dealing with it not me.

During the protests, Reddit was very high on both the Block and Lower lists. Quite interesting that this has changed. I still have mine set for Lower.

The best thing about Kagi is never again seeing Quora, W3Schools, or Pinterest in results.

Yes and no. No, in that the bridge code is published, and it takes no action other than re-encrypting your message with the destination auth. But you have to trust that server. If you don’t trust the server, then you can run your own. Running your own Matrix server isn’t all that hard; I’ve done it before and there’s an Ansible playbook which does all the heavy lifting for you. But these days I prefer someone to run it for me.

No it won’t have your credentials, but you will authorise the bridge as a device, like you would with the web app.

Apart from the new Beta features, I’ve found 90% of my Photoshop workflow is replicated in Photopea

edit: I am an idiot - Photopea is not open source. Although it will help remove a reliance on Windows.

Would https://anytype.io/ be a replacement? It’s very new so you might not have heard of it. It’s designed like Notion, but it might have everything you need.

If your needs are more simple, https://notesnook.com/ could be worth looking into.

Other FOSS options are Joplin and Logseq. I’m an Obsidian user myself; not FOSS but the storage format is completely open which is the most important to me.

That’s what beeper.com does. It’s also open source, but they handle running it for you.

But absolutely I agree that it doesn’t remove WhatsApp from your life, and that’s a pain point for me also when I’m working with services in Asia, who like Brasil predominantly work from WhatsApp.

If you don’t like Beeper, you could try these guys who host a managed solution (means you don’t have to deal with any issues), and let’s you offer the service to others:

https://etke.cc/

You can use a FOSS app at your end to chat with WhatsApp users, if this isn’t something you’re already aware of. Element.io plus a bridge. Beeper.com is a turnkey platform that sorts it all out for you.

It doesn’t help replace WhatsApp as a platform, but perhaps it would suit you?

Very crap article:

I’ve been using it for a couple of years with Google Drive on Windows, on a near-daily basis, with approximately 300GB across multiple vaults - some very large files, some very small text files (think Obsidian).

I have not encountered any errors / issues / lost data. I do frequently get a message where it tells me it can’t lock the vault because it’s still “in use”, but I just Force Lock and go on with my day.
