Does this EU's Digital Markets Act also applies for Android and all the preinstalled apps by Google and the phone manufacturer?

The Absurdity of the Return-to-Office Movement
Reply in thread
I work from home and still prefer living in the city center, despite being more expensive. Not due to the museums but due to the closeness to restaurants, pubs and clubs. How am I supposed to go back home if I am drunk and I cannot drive. The city center is for the people not for office buildings.

Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs
I use Logseq with ToDoList plugin to handle task list. Logseq is similar to obsidian but open-source. And to syncronize notes among devices, I use syncthing. No need to selfhost.

I don't want to say crypto in general, but Bitcoin in particular was born after the 2008 crisis, as a decentrized form of money, meaning storing value against the inflationary fiat money that the goverments can print in a centralized manner, destroying all your savings. I think any technology that empowers decentralization is positive. Same as fediverse. And in the case of bitcoin, having a decentrized money it's a really positive tool for freedom to avoid centralizing the power in the governments. But I am curious on knowing why you say that there is no positive uses.

The MM-DD format, as a euro, pisses me off. I use YYYY-MM-DD though. It's the recomended format by ISO, and it allows me to name files with that format and sort by name.

What are your thoughts about Obsidian not being Open Source?
Hi! I used Obsidian for several years, but the open source topic is also a concern for me, so 6 months ago, I decided to move to LogSeq.
To be honest, the migration was not that easy, but not due to the different Markdown format, but for the change of methodology of writing notes. In Obsidian I was used to work with folders, but in LogSeq, I added all my notes in the same folder and started working with links. I created a note as a list of constents to link all the other notes, and now I have a nice personal knowledge database. So I don't agree when you say that LogSeq is focus on journaling, because in my personal notetaking process I almost don't use it. But it is true that I use it a lot in my job workflow, it's really useful to start taking notes directly on the current day on the journal section and if you need to expand some topic, you just create a link to a new note using [[double brackets]] as in Obsidian.

Thanks for your answer :) And how did you configure the chordes? Did you add them all manually in layout file and compile it in ZMK/QMK to flash your controller? Or you just mapped ASETNIOP keys in your controller and you installed a sepparated software on your PC? In that case, which one?

Tile/AirTag/Chipolo tracker recommendations for GrapheneOS?
If you can hide an old small android phone with a a SIM card in your bike, you can use FindMyDevice (FMD) available in f-droid.
If not you can use some pet tracking device, like FindMyCat. It's a small opensource device in a collar where you need to plug in a SIM card.
But if you want a device which uses low power Bluetooth / mesh connection and which doesn't require SIM card nor GPS. Then I don't know any alternative which is not a privacy nightmare.

You're welcome :)
Yes, LogSeq admits standard MD format for links and also their simpler way to do links to notes, which I personally use. But all are supported:

Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows
The only game I am not able to make it work on Linux is "The Sims 4". After installing it on Steam, when clicking on Play, it runs the EA app in the background and tries to start the game, but it doesn't load. Any suggestion?

I do not use it for gamming, so I cannot answer that, but maybe you can use only the left part and the mouse for shooter games. I would need to remap AWSD because I use Colemak layout or maybe use another layer to move to Qwerty.
However, I use it everyday for working as IT consultant, I don't do programming really often anymore, but I don't have problems typing numbers or special characters (;,[]/<>...). In fact, you just need to memorize where they are and the layer, but your fingers move much less than in a full size keyboard.

[SOLVED] ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?
Reply in thread
I am not an expert on security and I don't know how to setup ddns, but I simply use Tailscale VPN to access my RPi4 homeserver running Umbrel from outside of my home, I simply installed Tailscale in my Umbrel and in my phone, and when I want to access from my phone Immich, Nextcloud or any other app running on my Umbrel. I simply enable the Tailscale VPN. Maybe it has some limitations, but is the simpler way I found, and based on what I read, it is more secure than exposing a port in the router, but not sure.
