  • If it's just bookmarks can recommend Floccus and LinkWarden.

  • Store (and access) old emails

    Jump

  • I don't know.

    • I don't need formatting but it doesn't get in the way either. So I am not bothered by it.
    • Also pdf and especially PDF/A standard is widely used for archiving and compliance regulation concerning archival and preservation.
    • If you want text the same tactic goes: just export in bulk to txt instead of pdf

    My main point is: Why would you want a mail specific stack of hosting, storage, indexing and frontends? If it's all plain text anyway so the regular storage solutions for files come a long way.

    There is an entire industry (which has its own disadvantages) to get communication artefacts out of those systems and put it in document management systems or other forms of file based archival.

  • Store (and access) old emails

    Jump

  • I had roughly the same goals ( archive search 2 decades of mail) but approached it completely different: I export every mail to PDF with a strict naming convention.

    • Backend: No mailserver, just storage and backup for files.
    • Search: based on filenames FSearch and Void tools Everything. I could use local indexing on pdf content.
    • Frontend: a pdf viewer.

  • Minetest rejects another federation suggestion AGAIN.

    Jump

  • Alternative idea .... Someone uses OpenConext to provide a federation hub connecting minetest servers with identity providers. You can even call it LuantiID.

  • I think he meant save the actual notes themselves. Often necessary for sync engines to replicate the notes to other devices and manage version control.

  • Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host

    Jump

  • Because the actual export, transform and loading of multiple banks and accounts data is cumbersome its holding me back.

    So curious to read about GoCardless.

    But is that also for consumer?

    And is it this: https://gocardless.com/pricing/

  • Music player recommendations

    Jump

  • It seems like a no-brainer but actually no.

    Quick test would be for example if there are:

    • at the beginning of the music library a lot of "no artist name" "no album name" entries, so the foldername isn't used at all.
    • a lot of artist with their own entry with just one album and one song because the actual albumartist collaborated on one song with them and the mp3 resides in the same folder but they got split in the library.
    • if the player doesn't show music which isn't part of Playlist.

    So my conclusion is their are even 3 types and corresponding mangement:

    • Folder based requires file management
    • Meta data based requires tag management
    • Playlist based requires Playlist management

    Often players make combinations also I guess.

  • Music player recommendations

    Jump

  • A music player which "just plays whatever is in a directory". Very handy for people having a media folder with artist folders and album subfolders. For the type of people, like myself, who focus more on tidy and disciplined storage of files instead of managing ID3 metadata etc

  • Photo management at the cmdline - recommendations?

  • If an historical timeline uses this labeling system it can't omit the NT part though. Windows NiceTry came out in 1993 but also long after that MS had MS-DOS based editions (up until Windows Me iirc)

    Jump

  • I'm fairly new to Linux also, Debian with Gnome.

    I need CLI filemanager when doing something outside home directory etc.

    For example fix a desktop shortcut and you can't start Nautilus "as an administrator " afaik. Or it won't ask for root password.

  • How do you filter ads and trackers outside of a browser while still using a VPN service?

    Jump

  • I guess that's on a PC? Or isn't there any iOS or Android app on your smartphone which is either showing in-app adds or just simply hooked up to adtech by trackers?

  • Whats your go-to naming convention?

  • Isnt CAPSLOCK case for screaming? 😁

  • Paying for software is stupid… 10 free and open-source SaaS replacements

    Jump

  • My understanding is roughly, for example:

    • Microsoft Word desktop application: not SAAS.
    • Microsoft Word online: SAAS (just like any other service accessible by browser but not a "localhost")
    • Onedrive: SAAS, storage with local explorer integration.
    • Exchange server on prem: not SAAS, increasingly diffucult to do.
    • Exchange server by MS: SAAS
    • Microsoft Outlook Classic for desktop: not SAAS.
    • Microsoft Teams for desktop: SAAS although local install but its just another frontend instead of browser.
    • Office365: SAAS but really a container for every tool in the MS online toolbox together.

    Some caveats: Word handles spellchecker in their cloud and clippy 2024 (Copilot) integration blurs the line.

  • Paying for software is stupid… 10 free and open-source SaaS replacements

    Jump

  • SAAS isn't about subscription perse although they have them of course. Its about "not needing to take care of". It's software on "someone else's computer" just as with public cloud. In a SAAS construct a provider does the hosting, computing, connection, install, configuration and maintenance. Absolving clients from that burden.

    Comparing proprietary desktop applications (even with a subscription) with FOSS alternatives is useful, it's just not SAAS.
