I like the approach of ci pipelines just running a make command or at least a script, so that it’s easy to run locally too before pushing the changes up.

Do you put the version in each commit? That seems painful

A subscription is required??

I’m alright with the games that give you daily rewards but they don’t have to be consecutive days. It still benefits people who log in everyday, but you at least aren’t entirely missing out

I liked the cyclops because of how big it was. I liked the sea truck too though.

I think my ideal combination would be a big cyclops like vehicle you could use as a mobile base, and then something between a sea truck and sea moth for excursions into more dangerous areas.

You’re probably looking for some sort of configuration management tool like chef, ansible, saltstack, or puppet. If you’re not already familiar with one, ansible is pretty easy to get started with.

If you’re also wanting something that can create the server itself, terraform is great and supports most cloud providers and supervisors.

Lol sorry, I’m probably not explaining it properly.

• Corporations are required (by law in a lot of cases) to protect certain information
• Corporations also have an interest to ensure their own property isn’t misused or abused

Corporations need a way to achieve those two points. Normally this is done by some sort of MITM corporate proxy and maybe some invasive spyware-like software on the machine itself.

Some people absolutely abuse this power and would have no problem reading your personal e-mail, or watching your desktop screen all day. I agree that this shouldn’t be a thing and they shouldn’t have access without some sort of strict approval process.

But, how is a corporation going to prove that you did or did not send a secure/private document on your work device through your personal e-mail? If you are using your personal email, it won’t go through the corporate mail server so they have to rely on either MITM proxies and logs, or something locally on the device. The alternative (no monitoring at all) would lead to situations where data is compromised and the company has no idea why or how, if they even are aware of it at all.

Similarly what if an employee uses their personal email to accidentally download a virus and that virus starts uploading all of the files on the device to a server somewhere? Without any sort of monitoring, that event could go undetected.

If there’s an alternative, I’d love to hear about it. But I’ll probably always stick to keeping work and personal data separate.

We need laws to make them not to

That would conflict with laws that protect your PII/PHI. Are you okay with a doctor saving your health information onto their personal cell phone? Or a bank teller with access to move money between accounts able to do so from their cell phone at a bar while drunk? Or a plastic surgeon posting photos of their patients to social media without their consent?

Corporations suck, but people also suck. Even if there’s no malice intended, the average person is bad at personal security and can’t really be trusted to protect data that the corporation is legally responsible for protecting.

We should not forfeit our right to privacy

My point from before was that if you want privacy, don’t use a device that you don’t own. If you’re doing something not work related, use your own device and don’t use the corporate wifi.

If you want privacy, don’t use a work device for personal stuff and don’t use a personal device for work stuff. Corporations are always going to want to monitor their own equipment for data exfil, etc, I don’t think any laws are going to tell them not to.

Self hosted nextcloud works great for me. There have been a lot of improvements over the last few years, handling conflicts doesn’t feel as clunky and I don’t really run into as many unless I’m storing git repos in my NC directory.

It’s been a few years but Joplin always felt clunky to me, and sync was extremely slow. I’m not sure if it even had plugin support when I tried it last.

Trilium does actually have plugin support it’s just not as discoverable imo. You can create backend scripts and also frontend scripts that could act like a new editor.

There aren’t a ton of public ones, but check out https://github.com/Nriver/awesome-trilium for a few examples if you’re interested.

For anyone looking for an alternative, I really like Trilium so far. It’s completely open source and the main dev and community seem great.

The performance is way better for me than SN. SN couldn’t handle a large number of notes very well when I tested it last.

The only downside imo is there’s no real mobile client, but the mobile web interface is still pretty good and usable.

It looks pretty bad even with an adblocker on now too

I wouldn’t recommend a normal bridged room, just a puppet bridge. So it’d basically be the bridge using your own account and pretending to be a real client, not trying to bridge a matrix room with a discord channel.

Puppet bridges are kind of like bitlbee if youre familiar with it, but for matrix

I haven’t used it personally, but there is a discord matrix bridge. You wouldn’t get some of the fancy features like voice, but it might be alright for text only.

Unless you can convince the server mods to bridge directly, you’d probably want a puppet bridge.

Is getting a phone from work specifically for work an option? It’s always a pretty bad idea imo to mix work and personal stuff on the same device

Kanboard is pretty good, but doesn’t use git for storage.

Something like wiki.js or Dokuwiki might work, wiki.js uses git and Dokuwiki uses plaintext files.

If you’re using nextcloud already, Nextcloud Deck is pretty basic but works alright if you want a simple kanban board .

BookStack is also great for a wiki, but doesn’t use git.

Obsidian is really popular right now too and uses plain markdown files that you could manage with git

Depending on what your setup is like, you could use something other than cron.

Kubernetes and Nomad both have cron-like schedulers. It’s convenient to keep your cronjob definitions near the app code.

I’ve also been using windmill.dev lately for some simple cronjob-like tasks and it’s working pretty great. It also has a UI if that helps.

Thanks for that. I didn’t realize those bridges even existed! Did you try mautrix-gmessages at all? It looks like it supports mms and rcs and is actively developed.

I need to set up a new matrix server but I’ll probably give those a try too.

Having a pine phone would be pretty cool to have things like that to mess with.
