Even such rather exotic glyphs, like the biliteral π“ž, which is U+133DE [1]. But I assume that the coverage by webfonts is somewhat bad.

P.S.: Sorry for such intended misuse of the principles of hieroglyphic writing.

Whatβ€˜s going on with all these code-2-music tools these days? See other front page discussion about strudel.cc [1]. Did I enter an established bubble or is there a rising trend? Itβ€˜s incredible, though, what people are able to obtain with it, especially when built-up during a live session [2].

So far this extension was a solution for accessing Mail-Accounts hosted on Exchange and even O365 by using OWA in a miraculous manner. Itβ€˜s not easy to overlook how this compares for simple end-user.

Immich is good to replace google photos or even Lightroom Library, but it is bad to replace Flickr.

Does anybody know self-hosting solution to have nice site to show off selected photos? No authorization and users for viewers, no "share" links, but photostream, albums, tags, way to see one photo full-screen. With minimal "chrome" like Flickr can do.

It doesn't need to have photo-organization things, object recognition, etc, which is needed to navigate your full library. Only way to show photos your specifically selected to publish.

io200[1] might be worth a look - a CMS for photos with low requirements for self-hosting (shared hosting is sufficient), nice themes, a powerful backend for managing photos and a proper free tier for more than testing. This CMS started its journey as Koken[2] which some might remember.

The more videos with the FW12 moving and used before the Camera I see, the less I can ignore the fat bezels. The design language at all is not made for β€žbusinessβ€œ which is refreshing and they obviously have a budget approach, but such ancient bezels donβ€˜t do a contribution for anything. The lack of any Windows Hello enabling hardware was the final bit for my sad no-buy decision.
mstngl commented on Notebooks App – The Perfect Mobile Word Processor   notebooksapp.com/... Β· Posted by u/mstngl

An inconspicuous app with a not-so-catchy name with a natural, moderate development history, good documentation and the claim to be the perfect tool for digital text in the Apple ecosystem (although there is also a Windows version). Works with a real flat file storage, which can be synchronized with various services, including WebDAV and explicitly also Nextcloud.

I would love to have something like this in order to provide the office features for documents hosted in nextcloud directly. Yes, there is Nextcloud Office/Collabora Office but this needs separate provider and is not included in hosted Nextcloud (e.g. at Hetzner). The ease of OneDrive + MS365 in comparison is quite attracting. For my current use (sharing documents in a team of 50 - non-commercial but somehow professional approach) the latter is still the tool of choice. Being able to share a link, which allows others to directly edit presentations and spreadsheets in a browser (while the files are available in a local file structure) is just great.

I remembered this extensive article immediately (only that I've read it, not what and where to find). Thanks for saving me from endlessly searching it.
