there's a lot of fun tinkering that went into syncing my vimwiki files between my computers. firstly, i use wsl2 on my laptop, and after extensive failures, i concluded that port forwarding is not possible. then i settled on installing syncthing on windows to sync the vimwiki folder, which also failed. now i have a cron job to copy files every day at 8 pm to my windows drive, which syncs to my pop os computer.

      Over a year ago, I wrote ”A month using XMPP (using Snikket) for every call and chat”.

      For something like 15 months now, Sandra and I have used XMPP via @snikket_im for probably 99.9% of our calls, messages, and video chats, running on an Intel NUC.

      We both use the Snikket mobile app, and I also use @dino and @profanity in Linux.

      Perhaps a fun holiday / weekend project, if you want family-friendly, self-hosted, communications?

        the reason i encourage people to use linux is because it teaches you to tinker. you do not have to settle for what you are given. you learn, explore, and make things your own. that is the idea.

          linux is freedom. no ads, no tracking, just your computer doing what you want it to do. it’s not just for developers—anyone can try it. pick a distro, dive in, and see how it feels. .
