Thanks.

What desktop bookmark manager, besides one's browser, would you recommend?

What desktop bookmark manager, besides one's browser, would you recommend?

Aware of Raindrop, but not a fan of freemium models & the data being stored primarily in the cloud. Many alternatives I've found are self-hosted, however if possible I'd prefer a desktop app with data stored locally.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a program to document things in life.

Looking for a program to document things in life.

Hello all. I'm looking for (a) program(s) to manage & document things in life. Mainly these features are what I need:

  • Diary, random notes(like a wiki?) with version control
  • TODO list, auto added to diary at that time period
  • Ability to attach images and text files to those diary, notes
  • Calendar with schedule synced with TODO
  • Easy backup, preferably in plaintext or simple db
  • Text search

Currently I'm using SeaMonkey and my phone(android) to manage calendar (so two separated ones), a paper note to write diaries and use dokuwiki for random notes. This setup is too complicated and isn't productive at all.

I do think my requirements are kinda abstract, and there most likely isn't a single program that can do all this. Although basic I'm a novice FreeBSD & Emacs+evil user so *nix-only or text-based utilities are okay. I'm not aware of any program that meets these needs, is there anything that resembles what I'm thinking? Thanks!

Ebooks library (cross platform)

Ebooks library (cross platform)

I have many ebooks I have from scouring the Internet in two formats: epub and PDF. I want something server like that lets me drop read them from any device on my local network and remembers where I left the book on device and let's me continue on another. I want the client app to have android and Linux support while the server should run on linux. Is there anything out there? Bonus points if it autographs metadata from the internet and organises them by topics, authors, ddc etc.

TLDR: An ebook library running on a Linux server with Android and Linux client software.

App to organize work notes (OSX)

App to organize work notes (OSX)

I am looking for a note talking app to keep work notes in. My requirements are:

  • Allow hierarchical organization of notes (like project1, project1/build, project1/configure) and easy to navigate to different notes.
  • Allow basic formatting (heading, code block).
  • Run locally
  • (Optionally) Have a table of contents for quick navigation

Obsidian looked promising and had the additional benefit of storing notes in Markdown format for easy export. Unfortunately, I would need to buy a commercial license in order to store work-related information.

What are some user friendly LAN text messengers for mobile/PC?

What are some user friendly LAN text messengers for mobile/PC?

Not really from a privacy concern, that's simply a bonus, more of a reliability/convenience interest. Even if internet/mobile internet is out for some reason, being able to easily text across local network would be nice.

For Windows/Android mainly, but crossplatform tools that include those are great too!

Software to do morph animation with a series of weight loss progress pictures.

Software to do morph animation with a series of weight loss progress pictures.

I have 30 pictures of 6 months of weight loss pics. In all of them I'm standing in the same background in the same position. I'm willing to do a little bit of *cutting out" backgrounds and drawing nodes if I need to.

I don't have the money for expensive software, so I'm hoping for something free or open source, even if it means I have to do extra work.
