Would a timeline really provide much benefit over viewing screenshots in a folder?

This one has a calendar:

For me, I often get to Friday afternoon and realise I haven’t recorded my time all week.

Supposed to be billing clients for tasks.

Screen caps every 15 minutes helps me see what I was doing

Sharex auto capture?

I mostly agree with @shadejinx. I would add that when editing the same note on two separate devices syncthing will at least fail kind of gracefully in that you’ll whatever.md will still be there but you’ll see an additional whatever-conflict-hash.md along side it so you can easily fix it up. Synctrayzor for windows will give you a nice notification and UI with which to resolve.

Nextcloud is great but it’s a real behemoth. Loads of stuff you don’t need.

IDK what you mean exactly but I sync between computers and devices just fine.

LOL. Sure mate. Keep smelling your own facts and I’ll eat a bag of dicks when … checks notes … the Italian government produces a FOSS browser to compete with Chrome & FF 🤣

Most of this is self referencing. Like the default search engine is not an example of Google’s control, it’s Mozilla’s revenue model.

The remainder sounds like personal gripes that you’re misconstruing as evidence of nefarious intent.

There’s also plenty of evidence to the contrary, total cookie protection to name but one.

Additionally, beurocratic processes produce terrible software. Log in to any govt website as a refresher.

Finally, browsers are incredibly complex, if this model worked you’d use it for much simpler projects first.

IMO a folder of markdown files is the way. Interoperable with so many things.

There’s an issue on their github asking about how to download the db. It’s from February 2022 and has no responses.

Ads just suck all the way up and down. I don’t want to support anyone who makes money, even indirectly, from advertising.

I use borgmatic & rsync.net

Does duplicati have to do periodic full backups?

I’ve used borgbackup / borgmatic. One full backup and only incrementals thereafter.

Yeah I’ve definitely reduced the load.

There’s a lot of things that are just unnecessary.
