    I run Strava on my Pixel 10 Pro Fold running GrapheneOS. IIRC you need to have Google Play Store installed (with zero permissions, preferably) to make Strava work.

    What's your monthly usage, aprox.? Do you use Kagi for getting to pages you know of but doesn't want to type the whole URL for, eg. typing "Hacker news" in the URL bar instead of "…

    I try to selfhost most of my stuff I rely on. Immich, Vaultwarden, etc. I gave up on trying to selfhost sync solutions for Obsidian - Obsidian Sync is just so damn frictionless com…

    It works just fine, but every time you open the app you have to dismiss a dialog saying that the app doesn't work without Google Play Services installed.

    That’s exactly how I do it. I enjoy reading DRM-free epubs on my Kobo, and whenever I finished a book I enjoyed, I buy it from the local sci-fi bookshop. I buy about 90% of all boo…

    I'd appreciate that too. My dentist recommended me to use Duraphat, a 9 euro per 50 gram toothpaste.

    How's Librem as a daily driver? Battery life, camera, reception/calls etc? I'm eager to get a proper Linux phone, but got burned by the awful performance of Pinephone.

    An honourable mention to https://typ.ing too. It’s the same kind of tool from the guys behind the moonlander keyboard, ZSA.

    It works - amazing - with Calibre actually. I set up Calibre-Web-Automated last week and setup my Kobo Libra 2 to sync with my Calibre server (swapping one url in a config file), a…

    A big plus imo is that you can check in and version control the files alongside your application. Very convenient when working on micro services in a team.
