Depends if you want the things you learn to help you in future career paths, I chose to learn flutter because I wanted an app cross platform on all devices and not just ios, android and web which is what react native offered (plus no good full storage access of device, cuz damit I had visions), but it’s difficult to find a position as Flutter Dev without at least 5 years of experience.

MicroG?

I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google

Honestly, even if you need some Google services, just get things like gapp (or whatever its called, forgot) and you are good to go.

I want to try GrapheneOS, but no one I know owns any old (or new) pixel device and compiling and running as emulator (like for developing purposes) requires like 500gb of storage on PC for it.

PostMarketOS sounded fun but I couldn’t get waydroid to start without crashing

Oh wait, were you looking for alternatives? I guess this also works: https://filebrowser.org/

Its just web veiw to file server instead of only using things like smb or nfs

Yeah setting it up the way you want is a pain, but I like it mainly for backing up photos from my phone automatically, as well as, syncing podcasts and music between devices since I moved away from Spotify and start using things like AntennaPod and Gramophone

I got 20TB in my server, might as well use it.

That is why I bought spares, it sucks when a drive dies and you can’t use NAS till new one comes it for raid rebuild, but funny enough that was when I used brand new 2tb drives

I buy refurbished, buy extra for immediate swap, and rely on raid and multiple forms of backups

Was awhile back but I got multiple 10tb drives for like $70 ea while new ones would cost like 3x to 4x more

Its less of a need for powerful hardware and more of a want.

I started off my days with a laptop that had a broken screen. I took screen off and hid it behind my desk, worked perfectly fine, even came with a built in backup battery too xD

Thanks for letting me know.

Also, I am just surprised people know about it, even if I mention it I honestly didn’t think anyone would try it. I want to make it much better but I lack the knowledge to make it as perfectly as I envision it, so they only thing I can do it learn and improve as I go.

Time to invent one xD

Shameless plug, but I had almost the same requirements so I went and made the app myself https://github.com/RoBoT095/printnotes

Desktop needs more work but you can for now use the appimage. Once it’s in a better state I’ll make flatpaks and maybe other types like rpm and deb packages

All power is steam power, fossil fuels are burned to boil water. Heck nuclear reactors are also just boiling water to create steam.

It’s all Steampunk but we grew out of our punk phase :P

Saying EU AI Act felt like I was saying my vowels, just needs O and sometimes Y somewhere in there

Sadly that isn’t so simple for grapheneOS, at the point your only option is compiling it yourself which I forgot exactly how much space you need but it was in the ball park of like 200-250Gb

Bro you forgot the ‘m’ at the end of vi

I know this isn’t a self hostable app and just a alternative client that pulls music from youtube and uses song recommendations from spotify, but I switched to Spotube. It has some bugs, but hey it’s written in flutter and I know flutter so I’m able to contribute.

My understanding of the different operating systems

MacOS: One time hardware payment for their service (plus for every other device)

Linux: Free as in price free and freedom

Windows: 30+ subscriptions to edit 1 file, then cooldown till next day or upgrade subscriptions to enterpise version for a kidney/per user/per month.

Would “Open Computing” be tradmarked? Kinda like how shows would change a letter or two in a name to not get lawsuit like “Metflix” or “MeTube”
