I'm experimenting with raidcale. I'm trying to find some client apps for Linux and Android.

So far, I have:

Desktop

• Calendars: GNOME Calendar
• Contacts: GNOME Contacts
• Tasks: Errands
• Journals: Unknown

Android:

• Calendars: Probably just default Calendar app
• Contacts: Not sure yet
• Tasks: Tasks.org or jtx board
• Journals: jtx board

Apps working with VTODO seem to be common enough, but does anyone know desktop apps that work with VJOURNAL?

Source First License 1.1: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

This is a non-open source license. They were claiming to be open source at one point, but they've listened to the community and stopped claiming they were open source. They are not trying to be Open Source™.

They call themselves "source first". https://sourcefirst.com/

They're trying to create a world where developers can make money from writing source first software, where the big tech oligarchy can't just suck them dry.

Those commitments and principles are under threat. Synadia, the original donor of the NATS project, has notified CNCF of its intention to “withdraw” the NATS project from the foundation and relicense the code under the Business Source License (BUSL)—a non-open source license that restricts user freedoms and undermines years of open development.

Are home alarm systems worth it? I'm talking about something like ADT or Vivint, with window and door sensors, and automated police calls.

Are those monthly subscriptions worth it? Do you guys have them? Does anyone have any stories where having an alarm system made a break-in situation better? Are they just snake oil?

I found some thread on the Discord saying that you should

install using abroot should be the Best option

But then nobody posts how to do that...

Have any VanillaOS 2.0 Orchrid users here successfully installed Tailscale?

I'm trying it out for the first time and reading the handbook here: https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/updates

However, I noticed the page says:

This guide is for Kinetic (22.10), not Orchid.

And when I tried running command to check for updates, I got this.

$ vso update-check
Error: unknown command "update-check" for "vso"
Run 'vso --help' for usage.
  ERROR   unknown command "update-check" for "vso"

I could wait for the normal update job to run, but I'm being impatient. :)

Again. From the beginning.

The full quote in dirty imperial units:

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.

How was this translated to metric?
