Always my problem with Tailscale and similar solutions is that I already run VPNs in my personal devices and especially with android devices, I need to switch between two VPNs, which I find a friction that I do not want. Does anybody know a solution to this?
exactly and in case of free software it is not even competition with financial incentive and (not always) so many projects can live long without a good output because of this. i think many people do not appreciate the usefulness of 'non-useful' things
I am using Classic iPod using Rockbox, it is basically drag and drop without Apple's gatekeeping. I also changed battery and increase storage capacity using iFlash adapters. Although I am very happy with this setup, I recommend you check some cheap mp3 players that can be used with Rockbox. It was pain in the ass to open it, and second hand market is way too expensive.
I am using Bandcamp and Youtube to discover music. I also would like to check Musicbrainz.
Unfortunately, it is not FOSS but I find Obsidian with kanban plugin a killer. They do release their Android app from Github, and some custom ROMs allows you to disallow network permission. Also for Linux version, you can use Flatpak release and run it without network permission. Not very ideal, but I find it working for me.
I recently switched to an iPod and have a Samba server that I can use to access my music library on the go if needed, via WireGuard. Honestly, I could not be more happier with it. I think there are very few advantages for technically inclined people to still pay for streaming services, and the fees are not one of them.
Isn't it? I am totally looking forward to a grammar checker that can compete with DeepL or Grammarly that can run locally and not heavy on resources. This will complete the holy trinity of local and free natural language editing; translations, grammar/spell checker, thesaurus/dictionary!
There is Harper as local grammar checker; an amazing project, but it is only in English and not yet able to replace the mentioned tools: https://writewithharper.com/
Does it also remove Firefox's translation models that uses local CPU? I find that feature very useful and totally obliterated my dependence on Chrome's translate features. Models are surprisingly good, especially for languages like English, Spanish and German.
I can see the use of LLMs and machine learning tools like TTS, translators and grammar checkers to be integrated to browser, but only depending on local models or better, like Firefox's case to CPU optimized local models.
