  • Which also proves the point that a manual isn't preventing anything.

  • First time I ever had to think about the possibility of what would happen with a sizable belly slash.

    Never going to un-imagine it.

  • I mean, how else were you ever going to figure that out?

    Really, the manuals where they made it fun are the best.

  • If someone in the 80s or 90s was going to the trouble of copying roms onto new boards and making plastic enclosures, then photocopying a little booklet really isn't that much of a heavy lift.

  • Because with Joplin you have to close the app to change profiles. And Joplin is a touch janky, so getting others to collaborate requires a steep learning curve. I really like Joplin, but not everyone in the house is as generous, apparently.

    I was looking at Syncthing the other day, actually, but I need all users to cloud sync outside the house, so it's not really able to do the same thing as Joplin with the dropbox syncing.

  • Video games trained millennials to do this. NES, Sega, SNES, even Atari games very often told you real shit in the manual. They were written to be read and contain training material. There were no tutorials other than reading and trail and error.

  • No, not at all. It's an absolutly fair trade to pay for that service if they're hosting my data.

    Buuuuuut, if OP wants to make yet another notes app and hit a corner that isn't yet covered, there are features of Google Keep that are not yet replicated well from a semi-DIY low cost perspective. AFAIK, I can self host to sync with some FOSS apps, but did too technical limitations on my end, I can't reliably self host. So I have to use workarounds.

    But of I can just use an API accessable file, and that data is encrypted, OP is a step ahead of Joplin. If I can collaborate with that API access without needing 2 profiles, that's 2 steps ahead.

  • I mean collaboration, I'll edit. Thanks for asking.

  • There's already many foss notes apps.

    What none of them do well is syncing and collaboration without paying for hosting or self hosting. Joplin lets me workaround this with 2 Dropbox files (1 per profile, 1 being a shared profile) and it's a pain. And the Dropbox file isn't encrypted.

    An encrypted API access file I can shove anywhere and use would be lovely as an option. Anyway I can share across users would be lovely.

  • TIL Amtrak will let you attach your own private car to one of their trains and they charge you per a mile

    Jump

  • Coworker said that time is the luxury item. Unless your car is following exactly a regular Amtrak route, at some point you get decoupled in a yard and passed off to another train, which can take hours. Basically a layover. So it sounds like it can easily become a multi-day thing to get somewhere you can get in like 5 hours by air.

    But yeah, if you have the time and inclination, it seems like a pleasant way to go.

  • I worked with someone that had some Great Aunt or whatever that did this. The lady just didn't like planes, so she would travel like this. Basically, you get all the amenities of an RV, water tank fill up, power hook up, plus you can walk up to the admittedly gross food car. She said it looked like an RV apartment combo, and that the Aunt was old money, so the Mr. Monopoly vibe is accurate.

  • If it makes you fell any better, after doing a fresh install, I tried a "finally finished setting everything up" backup and was immediately out of space.

    Turns out it was saving backups to my boot sector. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
