It's a German library card

I'm using a library card outside of the U.S. with Libby and send all my loans to my Kindle via amazon.de, works fine

Still annoying that the app is not available globally, just prevent the creation of accounts by checking the location? Moved abroad where Claude is available, but still have an EU App Store account because you can't easily switch countries with existing subscriptions, especially music.

They have a few blocklists with IP addresses and hostnames listed on their page you can easily subscribe to. https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch-mini/blocklists.h...

This implies you're using their reverse proxy feature, not just plain DNS records.

+ the Omnisearch plugin for a great search engine in Obsidian. It can index images and pdfs, too

I think there’s a setting to enable cloud storage, so as long as you’re logged into Firefox Sync/Chrome it can be synced but has to be triggered manually to sync/merge the filter lists.

Just found out that there's an extension to use Docker/Podman within VSCode which works on a local or remote machine.

Are there any somewhat easy-to-use solutions to isolate a development environment? Preventing or at least decreasing the damage malicious packages could do? Like deleting files or uploading a private ssh key/keychain to a 3rd party server?

I was looking into things like GitHub Codespaces, I believe they're isolated per repository and integrated into VS Code, but I'd like something I could run on my machine or a server of mine.

I've done this as well recently, and the list at bgp.services helped a lot. Vultr is a good example, they have locations across the globe.

Tailscale is just great! It's so easy to use, I have it running on all my devices and servers, so I can connect to them from wherever I want, and with the "Exit Node" feature you can also select a system to route all traffic through (and switch easily between them, at least on mobile).

If you are on a Mac, have a look at finicky to manage which URLs should open in a specific browser.

Once all steps are complete, we will reimburse you the cost of creating this account.

Seems they'll refund the paid account, still a weird thing to do.

I've been using git as my storage and sync location for a couple of years now. Use it with Obsidian on my Mac, Working Copy is pulling and pushing the repo on my iOS device. At some point I also used the Gollum Wiki to have it available on the web as well.

It's just important to have automated triggers to push and pull things to avoid conflicts. That's possible with Shortcuts on iOS and there's a git-plugin for Obsidian as well.

since fastmail supports push via the default iOS mail.app for a while now I just deleted their own app

I get export errors with about 250gb in Google

I hope they'll release nvUltra soon: https://nvultra.com

I use this as well, have all my stuff in a git repo and sync it to my iOS device so I can edit it with apps like iA Writer or 1Writer easily.

It seems to, on the upgrade page for a personal account it still says "Pro" but for $4/m

A bunch of markdown/text files in a git repo, hosted on github/gitlab/gitea (github in my case).

This way I can edit the files online on github.com, on my desktop and push/pull the changes. On my iOS device I use http://workingcopyapp.com - I can edit and create files as well as push and pull changes.

On my Desktop I can use any tool I want to search and edit the files, on github I have full text search and working copy also features full text search.

Most importantly: I own my data and they don't up in some database I need to worry about.

Was just a question, don't get me wrong here. Thought they would do this for their managed service.

We believe that no data has been lost, unless the owner/maintainer of the repository did not have a local copy and the GitLab copy was the only one.

Too bad they don't make backups of users repositories?

I think I post this every time I read something about Dropbox Paper but I think it's important: Every note is shared by default when you know the URL, nothing is private by default. You explicitly need to make every single note private so no one can access it. I really want to use paper but I think this really sucks IMHO.

If you're on iOS, I can't recommend working copy highly enough: https://workingcopyapp.com

It's an awesome git client (event git-lfs) with an editor + preview engine built in, it also provides everything iOS can offer regarding 3rd party app/scripting integrations.

I do the same. I have a gitea instance and all my text saved in markdown in there. I also enabled full-text search so I can find it again. On mobile (iOS) I use working copy as a git client, which handles all files just fine (and also supports git-lfs).

Most of the time I want to attach binary files to notes, so I thought about using a sync solution like NextCloud or FileRun (with syncthing) and just link to my files.

I'm running mailcow for about a year now. So far so good, very little to no maintenance and the update process through the dockerized version is very easy. Using it with a few friends and 10 custom domains with wildcard addresses, no issues with the spam-filter either.

I'm only slightly worried if they ever abandon the project I'm out of luck maintaining it by myself. But since it's all based on standard software it's rather easy so switch to another solution I guess.

Well, I guess they do have access to all of your files anyway?

Paper is a security nightmare. Every document is automatically accessible publicly if you know the url. You need to set each document individually to private. At least for the Personal/Pro plans.

AFAIK it's all markdown and you can export your files as markdown. There's also an API available to export your paper docs as markdown.

Which app do you use?
