I wonder why the Ubuntu and the IBM Plex Sans fonts use a different style "a" for italic vs non-italic. I like the Ubuntu font and have used it in the past.

Thank you for this great app! I have used it for a while now on both, Windows and Linux. Love it! I have recommended it here on HN in the comments a few times.

Re:Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @10:32AM (#38460637)
For some of the reasons you give, I prefer Owncloud over Nextcloud. Owncloud is less bloated. I recently set up Joplin notes to sync with Owncloud using WebDAV following instructions on Owncloud's blog [0], it was easy and works well. I haven't set up contacts and calendars yet, but would like to, eventually. It looks like it can be done with CardDAV and CalDAV [1].

Wow! I like what you did with the CNC and your cutting board looks really cool!

Asterisk PBX (phone system) on Raspberry Pi OpenMediaVault and ownCloud (on Docker) on a Raspberry Pi

Hopefully in the near future HomeAssistant on a Raspberry Pi

Re:Matthias Wandel woodworks his way to 1.72M subscribers on Tuesday November 22, 2022 @05:20PM (#33712374)
>"sawdust and mistakes, mostly" Love that phrase. Will share it with my father who has a woodshop. Also agree with your thoughts about woodworking.

I also started doing some wood work, I got myself a desktop CNC and some other basic woodworking tools.

Re:Ask HN: What's a Good SMS App for Android? on Thursday October 13, 2022 @07:29PM (#33197827)
I am using it and really loving it, but yes, it's concerning that it hasn't been updated in a while and the project might abandoned.
Re:Ask HN: What's a Good SMS App for Android? on Thursday October 13, 2022 @07:23PM (#33197791)
Looks interesting, but doesn't look like it has an option for end-to-end encryption.

Thank you for sharing some of those tools here!

Thank you for the list you provided! Good way of looking at it.
Re:Why Craigslist still looks the same after 25 years on Friday September 16, 2022 @03:56PM (#32871214)
To me it seems like CL never cought on outside of the bigger cities in Canada, but Kijiji became very popular. But I agree, Kijiji is not as clean with the results as CL, and yes, Facebook Market Place is a mess. Varage Sale is a small player in certain regions of Canada.
Re:Inkscape 1.2.1 Released on Friday July 15, 2022 @04:13PM (#32112252)
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but to divide a vector in Inkscape, draw a strait line through it, it doesn't matter if the line goes past the edge of the vector, then select both objects (vector and line) and go the the "Path" menu and chose "Division" (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+/ ).
Re:Vulnerability in Honda's Remote Keyless System on Friday March 25, 2022 @03:29PM (#30806191)

Not sketchy at all, in my opinion. Please keep doing it. We need more acts of kindness in this world.
Yes, very much the same here. When a headline interests me, I go in to read the comments and have learned much from them. Most of the time I don't read the article. Please keep commenting.
Re:Used car market gets even more bizarre on Wednesday November 10, 2021 @12:41PM (#29177588)
I think OP's advice is good, that's what I would do, but I think for this particular vehicle it's not a good idea to replace the engine with a used one from a junkyard, because they have a lot of engine problems and the replacement engine wouldn't last long either. A friend of mine found out the hard way. Other vehicles though, I think it would be worth it replacing the engine with a used one in good condition.
Oh, I had assumed Newfoundland and Labrador because of, as you say, the Canadian context. So it was actually Netherlands.

Inkscape saves with two different options: "Inkscape SVG" and "Plain SVG", did you try both?

Re:How I store my files on Friday July 30, 2021 @11:19AM (#28008947)
I have the same setup for the same reason as you. Only difference, I have my setup at home. As you say, in the event of my demise, I want my relatives to be able to grab the drive and have easy access to the pictures and videos.
Re:Digitize MiniDV Tapes with Linux on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @11:31AM (#27973638)
I did something similar, except I ran it as dvgrab | ffmpeg to transfer and transcode to mp4 at the same time, one step. It worked great.
I am also glad SQLite support is going to be added. I will definitely try it. Have you checked out SQLiteStudio (https://sqlitestudio.pl)? It's ooen source and cross-platform.

I like that quote! Can I use it? Whom do I attribute it to?

I used KeePassDroid for a long time, but recently switched to KeePassDX, and love it.

I am an OSM contributor and could try to fix it for you, if you give me the location. My email address is in my profile.

Why did you delete your comment? I really appreciated it and actually bookmarked it specifically. I know it probably wasn't popular among consumers, buy I liked it and agreed with it. I actually have witnessed exactly what you describe in people I know.
They do, but that's not to say that they don't store the exif data for themselves.
