FYI, it's fairly easy to have Proton Drive on linux using rclone [0], for push/pull/sync.

Great idea! After a quick search, there's some plugins[0][1] that could work for my use case!

Good point, I tried to use it too as it seems to cover most of my points, but it's unsupported on macOS and iOS.

Oh this looks great! Thank you!

Great to know, I always read that people dislike Obsidian for being closed-source. It's also not self-hosted by default, but seems possible with a sync plugin. Thanks, I will look into it!

Hey all!

I've been trying to find the perfect software to organize my notes, thoughts and tasks.

I wasn't able to find any suitable candidate and wondered if the HN crowd is in the same boat.

Is there any posts of people who went down the same endless search you would recommend?

For reference, here's a post [0] explaining my requirements.

Because of a few things : 1) in a camera, you’ll have a big (>1inch) sensor. 2) in a camera, you’ll have a much bigger lens diameter, thus a bigger aperture diameter (not f number). Both effects will decrease the width of the focus point, wich will increase the bokeh effect.

I second this, i've been using it for a few years and it's very easy to setup. Reliable and cheap.
My thought process while adapting my life are more akin to this :

I felt disconnected and unhappy -> found those principles/values that seem to make people more happy (who were in the same situation as me) -> tried them, felt much more happy and fulfilled than before -> try to apply it to other areas.

I see your point and I have not made it clear in my post;

I actually follow these values in all other parts of my life; I cut back on my possessions (lots of sales and gifts), take exclusively public transport, eat vegan and (mostly) local, always favour low-tech, package free buys and responsible companies, etc.

My job is the complete opposite, which I want to fix.

Good idea, that way you can feel like you do a part of good (helping people) while pushing simple software.

Maybe if we can get enough traction, it could be the new trend ;)

Exactly how I feel about web dev. Then, even when you can convince a client that all those layers are useless, a sleazy competitor salesman can convince him otherwise...

Ask HN: How to Blend 'Minimalism/Low-Tech/Degrowth' with Software Development?

Hi HN,I've been working as a software developer for quite some time now, mostly in Web/React/Node.Js and SQL. I also have a few side projects that are mechanical engineering and close to production.Lately, I feel like I'm at a crossroads and would like your input.1) Minimalism, Low-Tech and Degrowth values are really important for me (for multiple reasons), I consider them core values. 2) My...

Except that the link you suggest is for BSV, a bastard fork of bitcoin that tries to lure newcomers.

Thanks, makes sense now!

>And because it's on the blockchain, ownership is provable, the content is permanent, and it can be directly monetized forever.

How can content be monetized foreved if it costs something to upload (send a transaction to create the block) but nothing to browser (navigating through the blockchain costs nothing)?

Re:Personal data of 2.9M people leaked from Desjardins on Thursday June 20, 2019 @04:18PM (#20236902)
Not in the article, but Desjardins has set up a webpage with information on the leak.[0]

They will send a letter to every clients whose informations were leaked, which will include the code for a free 12-month Equifax (credit report) monitoring.

Would using somerhing like VNC (to a computer or server that you own) be considered a loophole ?

Re:Impossible color on Tuesday July 10, 2018 @11:32PM (#17504280)
In substractive color theory, yes, you’ll end up with a brown when mixing red and green in near equal parts.

Keep in mind that the red and green you’ll be mixing is not 100% color pigments, so it cannot merge into a dark grey.

Thanks! BTW, It seems to be a really tedious work, I like the result :)
Re:Building a “real” Linux distro on Friday May 05, 2017 @01:00PM (#14274925)
Allright! The article nor the FAQ page didn't mention why it was hated so much haha.

Thank for the answer!

What's so wrong about GNU?
Fuji's has one of the best weather-sealing (dust & rain) in the mirrorless segment. No idea about the lens he used, but my X-Pro2 survived (rain & snow) storms, even with a non-tropicalized lens.

I guess sandstorms must be harder for the camera?
