This is what I do. I keep the old ones around for a while, and every time I realize that I’m not missing anything, and delete them.

Worst case, I’ll have to root around in my backups. But it has never happened wrt browser bookmarks.

I am running things locally.

Sorry, I missed that. It invalidates part of my comment.

I cannot get an ssl cert for my local network stuff

You can make a self-signed cert. If your mobile app does not have an option to accept it (“ignore SSL errors”) then it won’t work, maybe there’s an alternative?

caldav does not support recurring stuff on the todo … It seems that they all internally juggle how recurring stuff happens

CalDAV is a protocol, which remains the same. The server has little to do with how apps handle things. I have no experience with tasks, but under the hood it’s just another calendar and does not treat recurring events differently. I’m guessing these limitations/inconsistencies are app specific.

So your server is running NextCloud? I hope you have it locked down tight, with all it’s web ui access points.

I started out with by doing my own calendar.

Wasn’t the first thing for me, but the most consistent over time. Calendar and Contacts, synced between phone and laptop. I used first DaviCal, now Radicale.

The next move I did was to bring my todo list over.

AFAIK these are just CalDAV calendars labeled todo; all you need is a different client app, the server software is the same.

Only downsides is that it is a bit more strict (particularly on the mobile app) about an ssl cert.

Can you explain? Doing things encrypted by default is extremely important.

I personally don’t like their kitchen sink approach.

Thanks for the tip. Already set it up. I like it - does just what I need and not much more. And the web UI can be disabled.

I’m not sure how you’re having compatibility issues as I would think CalDAV is a standard protocol?

There used to be a mismatch between the spec and Google’s implementation of it.

A simple whois (querying a public database) points to Prague (CZ) - and reveals the name & address of one person. Of course that most likely isn’t his personal address, the guy could still live in the USA. And his last name indeed does not sound very czech, could be Russian, but I cannot be sure. Somebody in the fediverse claimed that he’s a Russian asset but I haven’t seen anything that would support that claim, apart from the obvious.

whois

• archive.is: Denis Petrov, Prague
• archive.today: tucows.com and lots of REDACTED
• archive.md: almost no info at all
• archive.ph: This TLD has no whois server

Yep. Certain patterns are easily recognizable even by machines. One could have a relatively simple “IHeartRadio algorithm” that should work 99% of the time (esp. with Ed Zitron who brackets the blocks with that insane guitar riff).

Hell, I could even write that with ffmpeg and a shell script.

OK I’m being arrogant now, but not wrong.

But there’s a lot of podcasts, especially from sources like IHeartRadio, that have scads of annoying ads

And they’re so repetitive. And each block is the same length if I’m not mistaken. This could even be automated - not relying on human input - or at least half-automated.

so it’s not exactly a mirror, right?

Correct!

Your workflow is actually something I thought of but the duplication of all lossy files would be a bit too much and replacing them with symlinks would not work with git afaik.

It sure does.

Just came to say Thank You!

I’ve been using FramaGit ever since Github went Microsoft.

How did you copy it?

Are you sure you have all the data?

In any case, you can tell mpv to target chapters individually (it doesn’t do dvd menus);

mpv dvd://[number] --dvd-device=/path/to/my/rip

Where [number] is the number of the title/chapter.

All your requirements are a given, except for wanting to do things in Python.

For now I have settled on Pelican - both frontmatter and templating feel very familiar to me. I might even be able to port my PicoCMS theme over. Usage is very straightforward.

I have not tried to install plugins via pip yet.

The theme repository is a holy mess, and most of the themes seem to be from Pelican’s starting days in 2013. They’re moving themes to an organisation but so far it has only 2 themes in it.

insulation sucked though

Always a problem with mobile homes.

Paid $3k to buy it preowned, 2k to move, and about $500 in cleaning and repairs (floor and various things were free sourced mostly), sold it after 6 years for $3k with no cost to move it again.

Very similar story to my last one. I get nostalgic sometimes - a converted UPS van painted red, wood paneling & wood furniture on the inside, a wood burner, solar panels on the roof…

Did it have a spinning hard drive? I shudder to think what happens to it in a mobile home. After just a few years, all my posessions were finely sandpapered on the outside.
