Another scenario would be all universities cooperate in one instance, like Surf does for all Dutch universities and colleges for vocational training.

In that case … you could install StreetComplete without concern.

Impressive and allaround cool!

Off topic slightly but for music VLC for Android is even better compared to its desktop sibling for the same purpose. I mean VLC for desktop will play anything and I dont deny how powerfull it is but afaik:

• it doesnt rescan automaticaly for added and removed music like a watchfolder.
• No native dark mode yet, yes a ton of dark mode themes, but they all are geared to video and lacking the medialibrary with album browsing.

Bit indeed for Android its super.

Must admit, those fields are precisely the ones I use in my filenaming convention. Other DMS put that in their databases but alas that’s just trading one stack for another.

Other ones put it in XMP metadata of the pdf themselves. But I guess the work involved would be similar.

If it’s just bookmarks can recommend Floccus and LinkWarden.

I don’t know.

• I don’t need formatting but it doesn’t get in the way either. So I am not bothered by it.
• Also pdf and especially PDF/A standard is widely used for archiving and compliance regulation concerning archival and preservation.
• If you want text the same tactic goes: just export in bulk to txt instead of pdf

My main point is: Why would you want a mail specific stack of hosting, storage, indexing and frontends? If it’s all plain text anyway so the regular storage solutions for files come a long way.

There is an entire industry (which has its own disadvantages) to get communication artefacts out of those systems and put it in document management systems or other forms of file based archival.

I had roughly the same goals ( archive search 2 decades of mail) but approached it completely different: I export every mail to PDF with a strict naming convention.

• Backend: No mailserver, just storage and backup for files.
• Search: based on filenames FSearch and Void tools Everything. I could use local indexing on pdf content.
• Frontend: a pdf viewer.

I think he meant save the actual notes themselves. Often necessary for sync engines to replicate the notes to other devices and manage version control.

Because the actual export, transform and loading of multiple banks and accounts data is cumbersome its holding me back.

So curious to read about GoCardless.

But is that also for consumer?

And is it this: https://gocardless.com/pricing/

“He himself is a billionaire” … Glad the forker made that clear in the first paragraph.

I’m fairly new to Linux also, Debian with Gnome.

I need CLI filemanager when doing something outside home directory etc.

For example fix a desktop shortcut and you can’t start Nautilus "as an administrator " afaik. Or it won’t ask for root password.

My understanding is roughly, for example:

• Microsoft Word desktop application: not SAAS.
• Microsoft Word online: SAAS (just like any other service accessible by browser but not a “localhost”)
• Onedrive: SAAS, storage with local explorer integration.
• Exchange server on prem: not SAAS, increasingly diffucult to do.
• Exchange server by MS: SAAS
• Microsoft Outlook Classic for desktop: not SAAS.
• Microsoft Teams for desktop: SAAS although local install but its just another frontend instead of browser.
• Office365: SAAS but really a container for every tool in the MS online toolbox together.

Some caveats: Word handles spellchecker in their cloud and clippy 2024 (Copilot) integration blurs the line.

SAAS isn’t about subscription perse although they have them of course. Its about “not needing to take care of”. It’s software on “someone else’s computer” just as with public cloud. In a SAAS construct a provider does the hosting, computing, connection, install, configuration and maintenance. Absolving clients from that burden.

Comparing proprietary desktop applications (even with a subscription) with FOSS alternatives is useful, it’s just not SAAS.

I prefer FOSS as much as possible and didn’t read all comments on YouTube but … desktop applications are not SAAS. eg LibreOffice and Adobe apps. But I guess it only requires a different title as the list itself is useful

Do you plan and share on web (laptop or pc) or on mobile? I use OSMand web for planning and syncs with OSMand Android (paid version).

I have a floccus sync with NextCloud bookmarks but for long time archival and accessibility I use FireShot for pdf and png saving to local copy.

Your bookmark + pdf + image + html intrigued me but I is it possible to export in bulk these files for local archive and backup?

Got a work related variant, a 3 letter domain we really liked was registered by a person asking a couple of hundred bucks or so. Which really was a good deal and we were more then happy to pay.

Our IT department advised guiding the transfer themselves. Instead our marketing department went ahead anyway and just agreed to “you end your subscription and after that we register it” … instead of using transfer codes.

In the minutes between, a bulk claimer snatched it away.

I donate regurlay to:

• OSMand
• Signal
• Bitwarden

Which happen to be myself. And the datacenter facility owner.
