This is actually not a good advice, from my experience. If we don't monitor, refactor, or improve the code, the software will rot, sooner or later. "Don't touch" doesn't mean we don't ever think about the code, but we make the conscious choice not to modify it.

Default Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.

That's just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.

Not fully trust, but I trust it more than some listicles and low-quality SEO-boost sites.

When I want to learn something new, I often come to Wikipedia, or Britannica, or YouTube to get to know the subject. And generally, they will recommend me with some valuable reference to dig deeper.

Wikipedia is like our dear friend. It gives us general information, good advice, and direction in life, but never gets too deeply in it. The choice is ours to make.

So Reddit would go from a social open hub, the "front page of the Internet", to a walled garden? Ridiculous.

I'm thinking of either self-hosting LanguageTool or buying the premium version. What's the pros and cons of each decision?

I'm comfortable in self-hosting stuff. Nevertheless, I don't want to have much hassle building the language rules, grammars, and dictionaries. Premium pricing seems tempting (much affordable than Grammarly), but I do want to own my data and privacy!

For more context, I write in English most of the time. I don't care about other languages.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

Why is Google trying to follow the model of Spotify even though the model is not really successful? I hate when browsing my music in Spotify some podcast pops up. I just want to listen to my music, dammit!

I'm looking for a solution that satisfies:

  1. Open source, or partially open source.
  2. Have good privacy practice. Even better if I can get away from 5 Eyes or 9 Eyes.
  3. Have an application for Android that supports auto-sync.

Self-hosting is also an option, but I would prefer a lightweight setup. I checked Immich requirements, but it requires 2 CPU cores and 4 GB memory, which costs way too much if I want to host it on my AWS.

I just don't want to support the monopoly.

Also Firefox has been so tempting since the new engine written in Rust came out. It has a wide range of supporting add-ons.

Looking at your picture makes my neck hurt.

Markdown is good. I use it when working in the company since the format is ubiquitous. I do writing my blog posts with Markdown (Hugo for the curious).

But personally, or working with a bit more niche team, for writing personal documentation I prefer Asciidoc [0]. It has better syntax and have some nice functionalities like Table of Contents.

For personal notes, nothing can surpass Org Mode [1].

insert Thanos stone meme.

We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.
