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.

Its in the original post. To create a distraction less or more less environment to prepare for exams.

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.

Not for Photos specific but F2 seems to fit some of your use cases. https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2

Even can use Exif fields as variables in the naming scheme. https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2/wiki/Built-in-variables#3-exif-variables

I don’t know, but I guess the reason why it isn’t done yet is because nobody perceives it as a problem. It would require a repository plugin to install plugins I think. But it all comes down to plugin distribution and deployment. Mostly if you want something outside the default repository you can just upload it to your own install / stack. If a developer provide alternative download ways. Like a github release for example.

Can only be done by default … also means there are other options.

Matt disappoints but their plugin repository isn’t a vendor lock in like Apple denying other app stores (without acts enforcing it etc).

If an historical timeline uses this labeling system it can’t omit the NT part though. Windows NiceTry came out in 1993 but also long after that MS had MS-DOS based editions (up until Windows Me iirc)

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.

I use OSMand website to prepare and plan: routes and POI in folders for certain trips. Then I sync that to OSMand to have it on mobile. I think it’s part of the paid subscription.

Isnt CAPSLOCK case for screaming? 😁

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
