in the settings if you change notification method from websocket to unified push, the UP settings come up, including a server address (which is what they intend to be used) or some air gap mode that i can't find documented
i'm shopping for mp3 players for precisely this reason - a friend has an ipod touch that abruptly stopped scrobbling. the last.fm app is stuck in a loop sucking battery. and she needs bluetooth anyway. she has always kept music and phone separate but now we have to ask the five whys on that before getting her a new unfamiliar gadget.
an interesting oddity: on my non-rooted xperia, signal thinks that i don't have play services and so it falls back to… polling. every five minutes. killing my battery and my logs.
i had to put signal into the restricted battery group, which means no notifications. i anxiously await the new molly, as i already have a unified push environment. it looks like the migration will be a bit delicate.
imo magic earth is a navigation app, full stop. it does that amazingly well, including live traffic, but i wouldn't use it for anything else. organic maps is a better general-purpose map but isn't a patch on magic earth for nav.
i have wired sennheiser momentum 2s. the momentum line is on 4th generation now, and they look to all be bluetooth.
mine are great for use on the train, or the plane, or in bed for not getting hit with a pillow. fed from a phone, they're a little weak in the bottom end — probably an impedance thing — but fed from a headphone amp they're ace. (though it then becomes possible to leak enough sound to get hit.)
they're not active noise-cancelling and they're not sold for high isolation, but they keep enough in and out for any of my needs. and impedance matching isn't an issue when fed by bluetooth, though then they'll need to be kept charged.
i made the same migration from markor (files in a folder) to logseq. there's a lot to be gained - always-preview alone is a game changer - but on mobile the visibility of the keyboard can be fiddly. once in a while you'll feel like you're in vi, it has such a mind of its own. but i'm not planning to go back
looks great! the catch for me is that my current host doesn't have docker support. your dependencies don't look crazy so in theory i could burst it and install directly to the host environment, but at that point i'm giving myself grocy-level headaches.
reading about docker-capable hosts, i was surprised to see them starting at 1GB RAM - i couldn't run pac-man in that. what would be a reasonable expectation for kitchenowl?
i left a big comment regarding this in another thread, TL;DR combination of brave on desktop and a lot of non-brave things on android, privacy browser + mull + DDG
i believe one can't stop collection, only aggregation, so use different platforms and different emails - and critically, a device that actually meets your needs - and hope for the best. i have a garmin with an email on a domain i own. my phone is android, using a google profile that's empty of any voluntary info and tied to a gmail address used for nothing else.
it's child's play to aggregate this, but otoh, two companies will work to combine the data only if they have a common goal.
that tripped me up too - but it's just the web demo. if you install it, your browser doesn't matter
i'd never heard of this concept! i have a disorganized stack of markdown files - notes, to-do and packing lists - that this looks ideal to tame
