I use Obsidian for this. I create template notes for each activity with all the checkboxes, then when it’s time to do the activity I just go “Create new note from template” and choose the right template.

While I agree that this post seems like a giant spammy ad, you don’t have to provide anything personal to Kagi. You can pay with crypto rather than card - I paid using Monero via a swap service.

Wise does not have the same. Here’s my EU card page: https://i.imgur.com/yvrUSvq.png

They offer virtual cards, but not one-time-use cards. It’s a big difference in safety.

In fact, apart from just finding out about privacy.com (only available in the US), I’m not aware of anybody except Revolut who offers one-time-use cards.

e: If you know how to do it with Wise, please let me know. (Virtual cards which can be deleted after use are not the same as one-time cards.)

If you’re in the EU, Revolut is better than Wise because they have one-time-use virtual cards. As soon as the transaction is made, the number can’t be used again.

Oh thank god. I’m on the $10 plan and I wasn’t using it on mobile because it’s so easy to hit 1000 searches on desktop.

That limit is just something that always hangs around at the back of your mind and you had to keep remembering to use Google for currency or unit conversions etc.

Now I can just use Kagi 👍

AnyType is an open-source alternative to Notion which recently launched:

https://anytype.io/

I last ran it myself a couple of years ago, and it was fine. These days I’m using Beeper, and I haven’t had any dropouts as an end user. If there are issues, they’re dealing with it not me.

Yes and no. No, in that the bridge code is published, and it takes no action other than re-encrypting your message with the destination auth. But you have to trust that server. If you don’t trust the server, then you can run your own. Running your own Matrix server isn’t all that hard; I’ve done it before and there’s an Ansible playbook which does all the heavy lifting for you. But these days I prefer someone to run it for me.

No it won’t have your credentials, but you will authorise the bridge as a device, like you would with the web app.

Apart from the new Beta features, I’ve found 90% of my Photoshop workflow is replicated in Photopea

edit: I am an idiot - Photopea is not open source. Although it will help remove a reliance on Windows.

Would https://anytype.io/ be a replacement? It’s very new so you might not have heard of it. It’s designed like Notion, but it might have everything you need.

If your needs are more simple, https://notesnook.com/ could be worth looking into.

Other FOSS options are Joplin and Logseq. I’m an Obsidian user myself; not FOSS but the storage format is completely open which is the most important to me.

That’s what beeper.com does. It’s also open source, but they handle running it for you.

But absolutely I agree that it doesn’t remove WhatsApp from your life, and that’s a pain point for me also when I’m working with services in Asia, who like Brasil predominantly work from WhatsApp.

If you don’t like Beeper, you could try these guys who host a managed solution (means you don’t have to deal with any issues), and let’s you offer the service to others:

You can use a FOSS app at your end to chat with WhatsApp users, if this isn’t something you’re already aware of. Element.io plus a bridge. Beeper.com is a turnkey platform that sorts it all out for you.

It doesn’t help replace WhatsApp as a platform, but perhaps it would suit you?

Just get a Trezor. It’s open source both the software and the hardware, battle-tested, and very easy to use.

I’ve been using it for a couple of years with Google Drive on Windows, on a near-daily basis, with approximately 300GB across multiple vaults - some very large files, some very small text files (think Obsidian).

I have not encountered any errors / issues / lost data. I do frequently get a message where it tells me it can’t lock the vault because it’s still “in use”, but I just Force Lock and go on with my day.

it said to use your own clients too, which took the fun out of that.

You can use Element, which is essentially the same thing as Beeper’s client:
