Incredible things are happening with termux.

Syncthing was made for this and has been around for almost a decade now.

It was a lemmy.ml issue but it’s fixed now.

Go to android settings > default apps > opening links > and unclick wps office or whatever it’s opening in

This is an issue with android file handling, not jerboa. You linked something that has a pdf uri, but isn’t actually a pdf.

I haven’t tried fclones, but rmlint is extremely safe. It only creates a json file and a remove script file, that you can review and edit before running.

It’s wild how it has the fastest read performance of any other sql backend, even postgres.

No, but it already has language support for most languages. As a decades long vim user who fully moved to helix, it didn’t lack anything I needed.

You mean the power cost of a computer idling at home?

I have 5 computers (beelink and nuc servers) at home rn, each idles at ~6 watts. That’s about 40 usd a year. One computer would be 8.5 usd per year.

If you’re able to code from a terminal, and care about longer battery life (my main concern when working from a coffee shop or elsewhere), I’d recommend getting a used android tablet, pry something from xiaomi or oneplus. You can find a decent model used for around that price with > 8 hour battery life easily.

Get a good stand, a solid bluetooth keyboard (logitech makes some great portable ones), and put termux on it (can probably handle light python locally).

If you need it to do CPU powerful tasks, use termux to remote into a VPS or your home server, and let a plugged in linux machine do the work so you can save your device’s battery life. This is how I code at least.

Many months, email is unfortunately your best bet for live notifs atm.

The lemmy back end in general doesn’t have mobile push notifications yet, those are still a wip.

The current alternatives are to enable email notifications, or add the inbox feed to an rss reader (although that is pull, not push, so it really isn’t different from the app.)

Same, endeavorOS has been my default install for years now.

1 month later:

Searches for how to view pictures, videos, and browse via the terminal

I have no idea what your setup is so you’ll need to do your own research on rsync.

Syncthing is very much alive.

Rsync then.

Nightly rsync job in crontab works well enough, if its an external hard drive.

If you’re going over a network, syncthing.

It does have clojure lsp support, but you’ll probably have to use a command line for most repls.

A few that I use every day:

• Fish shell
• Starship.rs
• Broot (a brilliant filesystem navigator)
• Helix editor (My favorite editor / IDE, truly the successor to vim IMO)
• Topgrade (updates everything)
