I use joplin with joplin server running through a reverse proxy in a docker container. I love it. It also supports encryption, so you could use a more convenient service like Google drive and still be assured of your privacy.

There's a lot of them and I want to browse them from the file explorer on my PC. I'm sure I could accomplish the same by plugging the phone in, but I don't see the point in that when KDE connect already has the functionality I want.

Yes, after brewing. And literally just a pinch, 1/4 teaspoon at most. It's supposed to reduce cloudyness and slow the effect of getting more bitter with time. This was strongly recommended by a number of brewers, so I figure there's got to be some merit to it.

I've seen some reports that sun tea spends too long at unsafe food temps. That's why I cold brew in the fridge instead. I had not considered using a premade, flavored simple syrup instead of doing it myself. I'll definitely look into that.

Hard to go wrong with Alton Brown's recipe. Luzianne is the most popular brand. Another popular method (and simpler) is to make a concentrate by steeping about 6 tea bags in half a gallon of water, adding a cup of sugar after removing the bags, and mixing in another half gallon of water. Serve cold or over ice. Note that a full cup of sugar makes it pretty strong, if you're not used to it you may want to ease off. If using raw sugar instead of a simple syrup it must be added while the water is still hot, or it won't dissolve properly!

I've heard of Y'all, if memory serves it was actually founded not too far from where I grew up. I was wondering if it's actually decent or just marketing hype. Maybe I'll get a bag and see if the flavor justifies the price. I go through the stuff like water though, so it may end up being too much regardless.

Is it really cheaper? I thought the bags were the cheapest it gets since they're so low quality, I was expecting to spend a good bit more on loose leaf.

Its app on a specific platform? Or do you mean the entire service? Seems weird that they would sunset their only product.

Tidal has no official Linux app, which is shocking considering their demographic. But a hero has made an app that gets pretty close. Under the hood it's the web client with some add-ons to support full quality streaming. The user experience is generally fairly close to an official app.

I used soundiiz to convert all my content over, and of probably over 10,000 songs there were less than 100 unavailable, so library isn't a concern. The increased quality is nice, but the big reason I choose tidal is that instead of doing unnecessary stuff like podcasts they pay artists better. As much as 3X according to some things I've read. I have not verified those numbers.

Cards on the table: for Google money I'd do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it's an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a "free" product's bad qualities harder to circumvent isn't the ethical hill I'm going to die on.

I took a class on nonviolent protest in college. Covered the lives and work of ghandi, MLKJ, thoreau. Very enlightening.

I can't speak to any of this, I've never attempted the from scratch version. I copied the recipe and instructions just to preserve them.
