Dawarich 1.9.1

First time I hear about this and I'll definitely try it out. It looks awesome!

One question though, does the server need to be publicly accessible or does the app do it's tracking locally and then saves it on the server when I get home again? I didn't see that in the docs but I've not looked very deep into that so sorry if I have missed it.

CLI-based bookmark manager, based on indexing visited sites and search-engine-like queries?

I use Obsidian for all my notes and Obsidian Web Clipper works really well. The whole webpage is converted to markdown and stored in a plain text file. It also has a CLI though I've not tried that out yet and don't know it's capabilities.

Another option I've read about, but not tried out myself yet, is using the org-web-tools plugin for Emacs org-mode. This ofc converts it not to markdown but to org files. You can then search it however you like. Emacs probably has nearly unlimited options there or you just use grep.

Regarding the "clever" auto-tagging though.. Idk. Both options can probably connected to a local LLM that is capable to interpret the content and extract more or less meaningful tags. But having the full page contents at my disposal is most of the time enough to quickly find what I'm looking for.

I had a professor in university who didn't use the grid layout and even had icons overlapping each other to fit more stuff on the desktop. It was wild

Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLC

I can totally understand that. In case you still want to give it a chance, I can highly recommend EndeavorOS. It's basically pre-styled, pure Arch. But it has a welcome dialog, where you have a warning banner at the top if you need to be careful regarding an update. This directly links you to their Gitlab and forum with the steps you'd need to take to not break anything. This saved me multiple times already and I never broke my system, despite not even reading the Arch RSS feed or changelogs.

Besides the EndeavorOS forum is waaaay friendlier compared to the Arch one.

Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto

Reply in thread

This was exactly the same for me. Every Manjaro install I had broke sooner or later because of these dependency issues. After my 3rd or 4th try, I decided to switch to EndeavorOS which is extremely stable for me and serves me well for a couple of years now.

Pebble Time 2 has screws

Reply in thread

I have a Garmin Fenix 7s. This watch also has torx screws on the back. I wear it day and night for 3-4 years now, even when working in the garden etc. and the screw heads are completely clean. So I don't think it's an issue.

Am in the only one who cringes at install instructions that require piping some curl output into bash?

You shouldn't install software from someone you don't trust anyway because even if the installation process is save, the software itself can do whatever it has permission to.

"So if you trust their software, why not their install script?" you might ask. Well, it is detectable on server side, if you download the script or pipe it into a shell. So even if the vendor it trustworthy, there could be a malicious middle man, that gives you the original and harmless script, when you download it, and serves you a malicious one when you pipe it into your shell.

And I think this is not obvious and very scary.
