  • What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?
  • hobbsc hobbsc Now 100%

    Many have mentioned org-mode. I used it for years but have moved on to todo.txt and markdown. I use syncthing to keep notes up to date on my phone and computer. I edit with whatever is available on my desktop and I use markor notes on my phone.

    I think this setup only lacks the recurring tasks option. I think org-mode can do that but I use my calendar for that.

    This is a highly personal topic so I'd suggest trying as many things as you can. Something will stick eventually.

  • I currently use a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS and I really enjoy the experience. I have a Surface Pro 7+ with Linux on it that I use from the couch. It's a bit bulky and I've found myself gravitating more to the Android UI anyhow. I'm looking into either getting the Pixel Fold or the Pixel Tablet, both of which are supported by GrapheneOS. The bulk of my usage would be mobile games (including emulation through Lemuroid), books and magazines through Libby/Librera, and the occasional video content. I'd like to bring it with me on the go. I was initially going to get a tablet and dock but the fold looked interesting. My reservations about the fold are the internal screen life and how apps behave on the internal screens. Surely being a moving part is going to decrease its lifespan, plus screen protectors and cases seem like they would be difficult. Are there cases for those phones? I always put a screen protector and case on my devices. How do apps behave in full screen on the fold? Do they have black bars if it's not big enough or does it get stuck to one side? Thanks!

    This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

  • It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible.
  • hobbsc hobbsc Now 100%

    Do emulators like lemuroid take up the whole screen on the inside of the fold?

    I was debating on a tablet or the pixel fold and I saw a video where it showed that the inside screen was basically two screens and man apps just displayed in the middle with black borders on either side.

  • Is anyone aware of a list of the Shikhondo games? I was familiar with Soul Eater but today I found this trailer for Red Purgatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_sb_PpI-eE I also found a Steam release from this April for Youkai Rampage, which I didn't know existed: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2712480/Shikhondo_Youkai_Rampage/ Has DeerFarm produced more in the series? It's such a unique take on the genre.

    Gradius and Life Force are included in this collection and the included "book" is good. It's neat seeing minor differences between the Japanese and International versions as well. This plays very well with the console streaming feature and one of those controllers that clamp onto the phone. Solid ports.

    SNK has several neo geo games for sale in the Play store. At about $4 USD, they're pretty expensive but they seem to work OK. Pulstar and Blazing Star are available. I purchased Pulstar and the controller support is great. Its a pretty good experience if you don't normally use something like Lemuroid.

    What's on your personal server?
  • hobbsc hobbsc Now 100%

    Pi-hole on an ancient pi zero w.

    I've got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client's network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.

    On my desktop in Podman, I'm running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it's just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.

    I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it's a webshit.

  • I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?
  • hobbsc hobbsc Now 100%

    I think the elite offers a lot for that price. Swappable sticks and back paddles, trigger stops, multiple profiles, adjustable tension, etc. It's basically an OEM "custom" controller.

    That being said, I like other controllers better than my elite.

  • What are your favourite controllers?
  • hobbsc hobbsc Now 100%

    I've been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It's wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn't notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

    It's a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

    I'd like to see trigger stops but they haven't done that yet. I'd also like to have clicky face buttons so I'm considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

    On android, lemuroid is pretty good for this sort of thing and you can change the arrangement of your nds/3ds screens.

    I have been using the hell out of bazzite for the last few weeks and I've really enjoyed it. There have been a couple of minor bugs but otherwise everything just generally works.

    I've enjoyed it so much that I've also installed bluefin on my work laptop.

    Not OP but:

    • on a desktop it's defaulted to desktop mode. I'm unsure about the steam deck.

    • you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.

    • lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

    The only games I'm unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.
