  • I'm looking for a task time tracking app (android, and/or desktop Linux)

    Jump

  • I like timeto.me (android). It is designed to log the whole day. It doesn't seem to support tags, but the checklists might be something similar (?). It doesn't support exporting to a CSV, but it supports backups and they are in JSON format, so it's probably good enough.

    It's a relatively new project and visually iOS-leaning, but it's the best one I found for specifically this problem.

  • Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within maybe as far south as Alabama to northern California?

  • I love the last panel. He's waiting for a miraculous bit flip.

    Edit: Context and the cosmic bit flip is probalby not true: https://youtu.be/vj8DzA9y8ls

  • I use authentik and I love how easy it is to create users, give them access to my services and even manage an LDAP outpost for the less-advanced services (Jellyfin, Calibre-Web). I heard that Keycloak is a better alternative to authentik, but I never used it, it looks very similar to it though.

  • Automount fstab question

    Jump

  • The OS will wait until the mount is successful with these settings, which is why GNOME doesn't load. Try adding nofail to your options. It should continue with the boot process if you are out of the network with that option set. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab#External_devices)

  • Degoogling - can someone ELI5 how certain apps work on Graphene OS?

    Jump

  • You don't install the apps "sandboxed". You can install the Google services like any normal app (in the "Apps" app). The Google services will then only have very limited permissions, for example they won't be able to see your location, camera, contacts etc. by default and you can grant these permissions like to any other app.

    The only thing that changes is that you have the option to install Google services and that you have the option to grant them permissions they would have limitlessly on a "normal" Android phone.

    Your four mentioned apps should work on GrapheneOS without any problems, the only apps I had difficulties with were banking apps. The Google Play Store won't be installed by default though, so you will need to install it in the "Apps" app. (I recommend using F-Droid to find alernative apps, although you won't find something like Clash Royale on there. If you don't want to use a Google account, you may want to look into Aurora Store (it provides anonymous access to the Play Store), which is also available of F-Droid)

    I personally still use Firefox (Mull to be exact), because Vanadium doesn't seem to have any good way of blocking ads. I found this on the internet in some R*ddit comment:

    Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium and Bromite provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. It is much harder to escape from the sandbox and it provides much more than acting as a barrier to compromising the rest of the OS.

  • Simple, checkmark based, multi-user tasks app suggestions?

    Jump

  • With EteSync you can share calendars and tasks. Apps like Tasks.org can communicate with EteSync (on Android at least, i don't know how the support is on iOS). The devs also provide a (Web UI, which can also be self-hosted.

    The main feature of EteSync is end-to-end encryption, you can also self-host it.

  • Minimal OPDS server?

    Jump

  • bookshelf looks like something you'd like. It doesn't seem to automatically index the files, but it does work without Calibre and has no UI. It only supports Epub though.

    I don't know if it saves progress and I can't test it right now.

  • SquareSpace dropping the ball.

  • Cloudflare offers an API, which can be used to update the records. It's as good as a DDNS.

    Arch Linux users, help needed!

    Jump

  • https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MongoDB

    Do you know what the AUR (Arch User Repository) is? You can install MongoDB that way. (This is NOT an official source, all AUR packages are created by users!)

    You can install an AUR manager like yay:

     bash
        
git clone https://github.com/Jguer/yay
cd yay
sudo make install

    and install (compile) MongoDB:

     bash
        
yay -S mongodb

    (or alternatively mongodb-bin for a pre-compiled version)

    I apologize if some of the code doesn't work, i can't test it right now.
