WebDAV support is nice to save money, but from a privacy perspective it’s a huge bummer that the sync servers get all your citation metadata. A better self-hosting story¹ is one pa…

It seems to me we’re seeing something of a native GNOME application renaissance, both core and third-party, buoyed by GTK 4 and Flatpak (as well as the trend towards immutable base…

Ikiwiki’s definitely a bit weird, but I’ve been experimenting with git-annex recently and it worked fine every time I commented. Seems like it’s chugging along: https://git-annex.b…
