Oops, I thought you were talking about long-term storage of files in general, like videos and docs or something, not a password database! Never mind.

What's the problem? Unless you got forcibly relocated to a different branch or something midway through your career at a certain workplace, you knew exactly what the distance was from your home when you first applied, no? Alternatively, you could move closer to work, which is literally what I did and cut my commute by ⅔s. I wish my infrastructure had better public transit, too, but all I'm saying is there are usually ways out there to reduce the pain that you can try.

It doesn't need any hardware that I can think of, but yeah, that's true: one would need to do a lot of DIY.

Solid question; there are only third-party apps. A recent discussion in !syncthing@lemmy.ml led me to most recently adopt BasicSync, which is incredibly low-profile and is probably the closest thing we can get to it.

However... if you want to get as pure as possible, you can apparently run Syncthing's Linux version directly in Termux on Android without the need for a dedicated Android app. There are also entire alternatives to Syncthing like syncspirit (which can also be run through Termux and which I'm considering trying as well).

That's a wild analogy. How did it hurt me versus finally solving my frustration from being unable to find solutions online? I check manually first...

And it does not take away jobs because it messes up too much anyway in deeper stuff. Those who were laid off will be back soon enough, probably with better employers. All the "replacement" going on in big tech is only mounting technical debt from its incompetence; the bubble will burst spectacularly over the coming months or years. With that said, for bite-sized, instantly verifiable tasks, I think it's mostly okay if you at least tried to figure out the solution on your own first.

Off-topic: how is Password Store better than KeePassXC?

Cars fundamentally caused more societal change because you can't have mass computer production without efficient vehicular transport.

~~AI~~ LLMs empower little people, too, though. They've taught me spreadsheet formulas and ways to use them at my job that I didn't even know existed. Granted, I didn't take any Excel course, and they didn't always work on their own (as expected of LLMs), but they at least gave me enough ideas to find out superior ways to manage my daily data.

Can't go wrong with offline and open-source!

I just realized: Can this be run in Termux for Windows-to-Android-syncing (for example)?

I thought self-hosting requires, like, paid ownership of a website or something. I don't think I've ever self-hosted before and am lost with its guide.

My primary concern is RustDesk's warning about possibly shutting down its free self-hosting because of bot abuse, despite now requiring GitHub accounts. There seems to be nothing even remotely close to RustDesk, except possibly HopToDesk, which I heard is a fork of an older version or something.

It'd be nice to be able to keep this going just in case. Or are there free, E2EE servers out there that anyone knows of?

Edit: Wow, I didn't need any of these; Meld via Nemo Compare does the trick in conjunction with the built-in text editor, Xed! Glad I came across this delightful plugin!

~~Kate~~. ~~Zed~~. ~~Basically anything with Git's diff doesn't seem to allow live edits to either file directly in the comparison itself; I have to open one of the files in another text editor and search for the discrepant lines manually. Is there anything that can rival VSCodium out there (which, yes, has no telemetry but still feels too resource-heavy relative to the Syncthing sync-conflicts for which I intermittently use it to manually resolve)?~~

~~The search has gotten so bad that it feels like a failure to have to download Notepad++ on Windows to try to run it through Bottles, in which I then had a graphical scaling error (had to restart with 200% DPI, but the mouse cursor is still tiny) and I couldn't open my own Linux user directory in its file browser.~~

~~I'm pulling my hair out; I had no idea that this would be such a ridiculously difficult search. I'm trying NeoVim next, with possibly LazyVim, but I fear the same outcome...~~

I didn't keep the .XPI file, unfortunately. Is it possible from a phone's file structure to export or even build this from(/out of?) a currently installed add-on that can no longer be (easily) downloaded?

I lack the time to learn Lemmy tools and run this place and fx0mt left for whatever unfortunate reason. Let me know and I'll briefly review your account history (you don't have to have nodded anywhere before, but you must already have a decent history and not simply be new to Lemmy). Thank you.

It's weird because I've installed Mint on other PCs and Macs and have never seen this problem before (admittedly probably slightly older versions of Mint), which keeps recurring on my machine.

I just came across this handy-dandy, text-only guide. It works and just needed a logout to take effect! I just figured I'd drop a reminder to everyone here that lithium-ion batteries are happiest being no higher than 80%, normally speaking. Hopefully we can move to graphite or sodium batteries... or maybe even LiFePO~4~...

Actually, I've decided to top it out at 60% for even greater longevity.

I used the Keyboard's "Custom Shortcuts" area. What am I missing? I see nothing in there to add permissions... I'm running Linux Mint 22.3 'Zena', if that matters.

I'm trying to ditch Google Calendar for a totally server-less approach, while still being able to share what I'm up to with certain contacts. Any guidance (via Syncthing or not) would be appreciated!

Edit: I seek a server-less solution.

The only thing I can see is Linwood Flow but it looks like it's a really, really long way off before becoming a primary calendar app.

If it could just store all calendar content in 1 local file, then that could be so easily auto-synced across devices with !syncthing@programming.dev. Does anyone have any leads?

Hmm, I just now learned about Fruux, in this Reddit post...

In the formatting strip with bold, italics, etc., there is a troll face on the right that has never done anything when touched; I'm using v1.71.3 (288) on an S23 running Android 15 and One UI 7.0.

I'm trying to report this company-promoting spam but the loading wheel never seems to pass a report through. I've tried it on other instances as well, equally unsuccessfully. I thought several versions ago, reports submitted with no problem.
