This addresses email notifications only. There is a lot of apps that would send you notifications that you want to see like your hardware needs attention but also sends some useless promo notifications

I would pay a lot to have this on iPhone as I'm distracted easily due to my ADHD. iOS doesn't have as granular notification configuration as Android (topics?) plus Apple probably wouldn't agree to funnel all notification through 3rd party app.

Telegram seems like strange choice but ok. I personally started to tinker with something similar - IMAP client which learns how you categorize emails into folders and helps with that. I started with manual rules and want to connect some optional automagic later.

I noticed that some emails are valid for only some hours and then it's in inbox unnecessarily giving that +1 to unread badge.

On other hand server side filtering works before arriving in inbox so you don't see for example, that parcel will arrive today. Next day you need to manually archive it. After 10-20 mails like that, if you are busy - half of inbox needlessly needs user action if you are into inbox zero.

What I remember from my case few years ago, incoming SMS were handled to both SIMs. Outgoing SMS from my number didn't appear on second one (so shared SMS history isn't complete in that sens). I didn't use MMS. I think all those behaviors can be different, depending on provider config.

Yes, I was suggesting just that. In that case, at least in EU there is an option when one number can be used on more than one SIM card. Then using second SIM slot on both phones you have access to that number. Incoming SMS goes to both number I think. Calls can be answered by any phone but faster to answer wins.

Very cool. I needed something like this. Looking at short video in readme - I suspect adding live stats similar to sidekiq would make UI look more dynamic and allow quick diagnostics. Docs for current features are more important though.

Great idea, easy to use GUI for non-tech and Pandas for data oriented at same time.

Is there some similar project but selfhosted? I would be uncomfortable with uploading health related data to external service.

Hi, thanks for sharing! Unfortunately besides empty map I don't see any visualization. Browser dev console is showing some CORS errors.

EDIT: Nevermind, clickhouse.com was on disconnect's ad blocking list which I used for DNS blocking.

When I'm reading about Ubuntu Core, I instantly think of this situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464063

In my eyes Canonical isn't trustworthy or able to create good product recently, unfortunately. At least looking at Ubuntu distro. I had high hopes for many years as this was my OS when I started my journey with Linux. For some time they are consistently forcing elements such as Snaps or ads in terminal. They seem to make switching from custom Canonical janky solutions to "standard" solutions harder or remove this choice completely (like removing apt packages and installing snaps instead). User's choice and customization was the very first thing I was interested in Ubuntu in first place. Now I guess choosing Debian is easier - you just skip part of removing Canonical weird OS elements during deployment.

The larger instances, the larger moderation issues.

People are only people so fierce moderation will happen. With smaller instances "blast radius" is smaller and it shouldn't be problematic like in centralized social media.

I instantly recognized screenshot in README.md Thanks to this thread I now know name of software that helps bring updates to a lot of apps I use daily.

Big kudos to all contributors of Sparkle, you all make our lives easier!

About monitoring water consumption, maybe using some webcam + OCR would help to recognize reading of a water meter? Then Home Assistant would be helpful to see charts with energy consumption etc

linux package is downloaded once or every upgrade by generic http client, not that frequent vs when loading lot of different pages which use Google Fonts and gives some info from browser
