How is Mastodon harder? (Legit question, not snark)

The cobbler’s sons go barefoot.

Identity was already solved with Zot aka Nomad, which is part of the Fediverse and easier to implement than ATProto.

It’s mostly been ignored because it’s just not that important to people, apparently.

IIRC, yes but it’s called differently. I’ve used that technique to work around nannyware a time or two.

I like the FreeBSD option because Beastie, but also GuixSD for something truly different.

You’re technically correct, but missing the point of the post. Canonical is withholding a security patch to extort a subscription.

For a second, I misread this and thought Rockbox had a desktop port.

They wouldn’t even accept my card for mysterious reasons. Only time I’ve had that problem.

I’d use something that already exists:

• https://life-notes.fr/
• https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy
• https://github.com/BabyTracker/baby-tracker

The focus of the latter two is slightly off, but it would work.

Actually, I’d probably not add a use-specific thing unless I needed something specific it offered. I’d just pop up another page on our shared wiki to track things, or put it in a synced note app.

Syncthing is another nice option for syncing Obsidian notes.

You’ll want to use Syncthing-fork on Android.
