Unfortunately, this version violates the DSGVO by sending telemetry without being asked. This shoots the app directly into out. I hope that the developers have an insight here and remove this function as soon as possible.

Looking for testers for my markdown notes app inspired by Google keep layout

This looks like something usefull. Some observations after first start...

  • why does the app requests full file rights, after I selected my local notes folder? If the app has access to that folder (and subfolders), this should be enough.
  • for code, examples a code font should be used and not the same font as article text
  • i use markdown a lot for code. With this it should be possible to select the whole code block by single click. When using css, this should be possible with > user-select:all
  • auto line break should be disabled in the same context. This seems to be already the case for code block but not for single line code
  • i would love to see support for yaml. But in the form that i can hide the yaml block
  • i think the search feature doesn't work yet. If I have for example a note with the title Manjaro.md and I type "manjaro", it isn't found. The search should also search the text inside the notes or at least the yaml tags (if supported)
  • please keep the local folder and don't invest your resources in a sync mechanism. There are so much possibilities like WebDAV, rsync, SFTP and a lot of clouds. To much to make anyone happy. There are some Android apps which sync such things with an ease.
  • I keep my rare images in a hidden subfolder of the notes folder like ".media". Not only images, also linked PDF and so on. Such images are not displayed. They seems to be not found

I really like the idea of your app. Could be a good companion for my PrimitiveNotes plug-in for Roundcube. Hopefully you find the time to develop it further.

F-Droid and Samsung "Auto Blocker"

Reply in thread

That's not the point. I travel a lot and here the phone is occasionally checked by the local authorities. I have no control over what the Chinese authorities do with the phone when they take it with them. Needless to say, I don't plug the phone into any USB ports myself. The fact that apps from the Playstore are not affected by this is also OK, but I have installed very few apps via the Playstore, most of them are from F-Droid.

To make a long story short: There were several such situations on my last trip and I was happy that I had this “Auto Blocker” active. But it's not a permanent solution.

[Request] Software for sharing bookmarks across platforms

If you can selfhost, you can try my SyncMarks AddOn. It will work on any webextension compatible browser, e.g Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, Kiwi and so on. You can sync across all Browsers.

The backend is working with selfhosted PHP/MySQL (or SQLITE) stack. If you can't use this, you can fallback to WebDAV as backend, but with limited functionality.

The addon can work together with the standard sync mechanisms in all these browsers, but it's up to you if you want that.

If the addon is not installed, you can access the backend url with any browser and use it as WebApp. With apps like Tasker or HTTPShortcuts, you can share any url, from any to the backend.

Any bookmarking solution?

Feel free to try my SyncMarks. It's available for any Desktop browser and can sync across all Browsers. The backend is working as Web GUI.

Backend: https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Webapp

Browser Extension: https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Extension

I don't know what happens with manifest v3, because the Mozilla variant is not compatible to Chromium. Maybe I have to use 2 independent branches. But I try to avoid that. Manifest v3 is a big mess of bullsh*t.

But anyway feel free to try it. You are welcome.

Has Lemmy been loading slowly for anyone else?

I have this effect also sometimes, but not always. It's also different from client to client. With Thunder on Android it's most of the time really fast. On the other hand I'm using sometimes Voyager, where it's a mix between slow and fast. I use the website only in rare case's. But when I do, it was always fast.

USB Debugging is disabled, when im travelling. I had two such situations last week. At the first, i had enough time to shutdown and lock the device, before that. But the second time, they asked to unlock the device. I have no idea, if they can force me to do that, when a password is set, instead of only a fingerprint. But i don't want to risk anything. Its not that i have to hide something. There is nothing on the phone what is not allowed. Only 2 VPN connections, which is not that good in China and some other countries. One for access to my home network and the other which i use in public networks.

I don't want to have any problems with the authorities (in any country). As long as I don't have to hand over the device, they can have a look at what's on the phone. But I also don't want anything to be installed that doesn't belong there and I want to use my VPN the way I want to.

The second situation, was the first time in my travelling, when someone asked me to unlock the device. They didn't take it with them after unlocking it (unlike the situation where it wasn't unlocked) but I don't see what could stop them from doing so.

Systemd Timer units

Reply in thread

OK. I think 7 day was a slightly misleading schedule :-) My bad. But yes, you are right, for 7 days, this will work fine. But i think OnUnitActiveSec=7d is more flexible, when i change this to 12 days, 9 days and so on... I should learn to be more precise in my questions. Sorry.

Games no longer start under steam

Reply in thread

I uninstalled Steam with pacman -Runs steam. After that there were still several folders within my home. I removed these and then installed steam with pacman -Syu steam aga in. Luckily I didn't need to reinstall the games as they are installed on a separate partition. I simply remounted the library and can now start the games without any error messages. Thanks for your help.

BTW: Whats the difference between pacman -Rns and pacman -Runs? What does u mean?
