Looks like someone is ready to start enjoying retro gaming! For real beginners I recommend Data frog SF2000, for about €15 you get device that can run 6k games (and it arrives with RCA cable too) and doesn't require poking Retro arch settings. Once hooked you can search and find dedicated device that can run more advanced consoles, can be plugged directly into HDMI port of your TV, etc.
A "fit of minimalism" 😁
You don't need Allow Right Click on Firefox: just press shift and then right-click. Firefox will then ignore JavaScript and show you default context menu.
Nextcloud is one of the most used self-hosted services in my family. I am very happy how well maintained the software is. Easy to maintain, and keep up to date.
So far we use it for:
- File sharing: we keep all our documents in it.
- Our scanner uploads scans to it.
- Notes app is wonderful.
- I use Tasks app as main to-do manager: it's important to me that it is private and that my date isn't analyzed or shared.
- We use Deck app to organize, we recently used it to organize moving house and it made everything much easier (previously used Trello for this, but Deck does it all and keeps our data in our hands).
- I use it as backup for screenshots from my phone, and few computers: it's great they're all in one folder to be used anywhere.
What I don't like is:
- You have to enter you password for each app update. It always works just fine, and it's just annoying to paste it every time.
- There is no way to support the project as an individual user. I like it and I want it to be successfull and I would be happy to chip-in few € each month, but there is no way to do it.
This is how I manage it:
- Usually I add feeds of blogs I find out from other aggregators (people posting links, HackerNews, Lobsters, Kotke.org, etc).
- This website categorizes blogs, I found some really good gems there, so I follow their feed.
- My RSS reader of choice (Inoreader) can show trending topics from feeds I am not following.
Transportr is not covering all cities in Germany, while DB does. So do have both :)
I use Logseq as well, and I love it. Something about journaling bullet points fits me so well and feels natural. But, templating system is a bit clunky, the app is rather unstable (do enable git
tracking or you might lose your notes), themes/plugins quickly get out of sync and to fully power-use it you need to know Clojure programming lanugage (I don't and I'm missing out powerful filters).
But, all data is in simple markdown files, so we are not locked in.
I use Tree Style Tab for vertical tabs. Clearly one of the best things one can do for browser productivity.
I use CamelCamelCamel for Amazon. Besides price history it allows notifications on sales or price drops.
This is something my son will love. Thank you!
Me too. Something about the bullet point style of note taking just clicked in me, and now I can't go back.
