That’s starting to look like something I want! I’ll definitely experiment with it. But, like you said, managing a self-host thing would take more effort. I’d also want a mobile app since I tend to write down smaller thoughts when I’m away from my computer. But this is a good start! Thanks for the share 😎

Of course! I’m probably just being picky 😂. I got used to more fancy features of an app made specifically for journaling. But so far, I’m not missing them tooo much haha.

I’ve given it a second try. I guess I just see Joplin as primarily suited for a note taking app.

I was used to journal specific features like a calendar view, on this day, etc, which really helped with reflecting on changes and themes over time.

But, I really don’t know what data is being collected and shared with Day One or how secure it’s E2EE is. So, the trade-off switching to Joplin is probably worth it for me at this point.

This is awesome. I have a Cinnado D1 and almost stopped using it due to security concerns. Definitely trying this out.

Does anyone smarter than me know if the same vulnerabilities in Bitwarden highlighted in the this also affect Vaultwarden?

Or is Vaultwarden more hardened and less concerned with certain compromises like backwards compatibility etc?

I use a mixture of methods. I used to take a class several years ago

Now I tend to listen to Italian radio and podcasts on both the RaiPlay Sound and the Swiss RSI Play apps.

I do use Duolingo sometimes, but the Italian course is limited to the A2 level, so there’s a clear plateau and I only use it to continue to reinforce the basics. I does kind of help that it’s a bit mindless because it does build up that sill of not thinking about it.

There’s a number of virtual meetups on meetup.com that I occasionally try out, but I need to be more consistent with.

I also created an XMPP language exchange group at https://xmpp.link/#italian-language-exchange@chat.disroot.org?join if anyone wants to join.

Not sure if this group is still active, but I hope this gets some dialogue going!

Haven’t been diving too much into the study aspect of it lately because I started grad school last month, and that’s been taking up most of my time.

I did end up creating an XMPP public group for Italian-English language exchange and learning. It’s at https://xmpp.link/#italian-language-exchange@chat.disroot.org?join if anyone is interested.

After I posted this, an app I use on my phone, Screen Zen, released a Mac version of their app. So I’m going to see how that ends up working out. Don’t think it’s open source, but It might do in the meantime.

I hadn’t considered using shortcuts. I’ll explore what I can do with that. It would be nice to hit one button, have it set a timer, enable both these blocks, and turn on focus mode.

I’ll take a look. Thanks!

logseq looks interesting. I’ll have a look at that and see if it does what I’m looking for. Thanks for that.

I’ll take a look. Thank you!

This is a very uniquely American moment 😂
