- Comment on My Calathea Bloomed 1 week ago:
Isn’t that a Ctentante amagris (prayer plant) instead of a Calathea?
I recommend everyone to plant that thing into LECA. Mine thrive like weeds and are blooming multiple times a year.
- Comment on Update on my plant. Unfortunately it might be sick, it has been getting worse every since I brought it home 3 weeks ago:
I don’t have background information, sorry.
Did you repot it before?
I think it might be one or a combination of the three:
- Not enough light: some leafes look unusually light or dark, and the whole plant is a bit droopy. Is it somewhere near enough a window? Still, not my top guess.
- Overfertilization: do you see the burnt tips, very dark-green leafes, and claw-shape? Especially the top leafes look like that.
- Oxygen deficiency (root rot): most likely. You have to act FAST now. Just not watering won’t help. If you already see signs of it, and they are strong, the roots are already mush.
I would recommend:
- Check if the pot has drainage and is light enough to store oxygen.
- Put it out and let it drip off.
- Don’t water too much in the winter. Keep the soil slightly moist and let the top layer dry off sometimes.
- Consider semi-hydro with clayballs. You can’t overwater, and if you still get root rot, you can act WAY faster (flushing, drying, etc.).
- And maybe add beneficial microbes, which will make the plant more resistant to root rot
- Comment on Has anyone used UmbrelOS or CasaOS? 2 months ago:
I use Casa"OS". It’s fine, but nothing groundbreaking. Cockpit for example can do pretty much the same, and for Docker containers, I nowadays mostly use docker compose.
But hey, it helped me a quite a bit in the beginning, and it’s cool. Pretty basic, but enough for most people, mainly beginners.

Logseq and Obsidian are only similar on the first look, but very different usage wise. Both are very open with a plugin system, and you can modify them to turn them into one eachother.
So, if you want only FOSS, then Logseq is the only choices you have.
But Obsidian is, even though it’s proprietary, very sane. Open plug-in system, active community, great devs who don’t have much against FOSS, and more.
Obsidian
- More similar to a classic note taking app, like OneNote, but with a lot of features. Hierarchical structure, and more of an “essay” style, where you store a lot of text in one page.
- Page linking is only done when you think it makes sense
- Has been a bit longer around than Logseq, feels more polished
- Great sync and mobile app, which support plugins from what I’ve heard
Logseq
- Non-linear outliner. Every page is on the same level, but within a text passage, the indentation matters (parent-child-relationship)
- You create a LOT of more pages. Most of my pages are empty. They are mainly there for linking topics. I rarely create pages manually.
- The journal is where you write most stuff. You then link each block to a page.
- Logseq a bit “special”. May not be for everyone. I for example am a bit of a disorganised thinker, who mentally links a lot of knowledge and throws concepts around all the time. Logseq is my second nature, because it’s more flexible. My GF on the other hand is more structured, and prefers something like Apple Notes, or, if she would care about note taking, something like Obsidian.
- The mobile app isn’t great. It’s fine when I’m not at home, but the desktop version is the “proper” one, and mobile/ iPad a second class citizen.
- Sync is only experimental for now. It will soon be officially supported (hopefully) and self hostable, but it worked fine for me.
- Comment on Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes 2 months ago:
I don’t see any problems with that. Even I (and probably most others here), who are FOSS advocates, think Obsidian’s model is fine.
The devs surely get why FOSS is important, and try their best to match the pros of open source. They even stated that if the company goes bankrupt or they stop developing the app, they’ll open source it.
One major thing they do absolutely right is how the notes get stored. On other note taking apps, it’s a proprietary database, often “in the cloud”, where your notes get hold hostage. Here, they’re just Markdown files, and the whole thing is pretty open, encouraging a strong community.
It’s similar to Valve/ Steam. Proprietary, but liked by most Linux people.

Thanks for the notice! It’s now changed in the title.
I’m no native speaker and thought it was a synonym to “From time to time, when you feel the need to”.

- Comment on Just as a heads up, AutoDesk will start deleting your Fusion Files if you don't login once a year 3 months ago:
Dumb cloud-only stuff. Good that I use Onshape, where stuff like that could never happen!
…wait a minute, shit. The owners absolutely could restrict the free tier or ban my account if they want, and then everything is gone.
I absolutely hate that. I really like Onshape, because it works great, but we NEED an, at least decent, FOSS option. I don’t necessarily need stuff like flow simulations, just good modeling, like in F360 or Onshape.
FreeCAD didn’t work too for me. The UI was horrible, the workflow very unintuitive and wonky, and it crashed a lot, while not supporting basic functions.
There were a few alternatives around too, but they were in the very alpha stage and didn’t work yet.
I really wish someone would create something from scratch, or fork something that already works, like Blender, and turns it into a CAD.
It’s just sad to know all my hundreds of models in Onshape will get useless some time in the future.

- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 3 months ago:
I think you shouldn’t forget that we’re here at c/3dprinting, where only enthusiasts join together. Of course everyone here is a huge fan of 3D printers, those who got frustrated and sold their device aren’t here anymore.
First of all, I’m very happy about having a printer, but more onto that later.
I had two ones yet, and both sucked.
The first was older, shitty and way too big. I wasted many weekends tinkering with that crap, until I accidentally destroyed it and sold it. My second one is the one I still use. It’s a device from China, and the company doesn’t exist anymore. So, if I want to buy replacement parts, I can just pray generic ones fit. And the customer support has always been shit, and the whole company and products seem very wonky in hindsight.
If I would have to buy another printer, it would definitely be something popular, like a Prusa one. It should be very small, silent and easily repairable. I don’t care anymore about fancy features (maybe except auto leveling), it should just not annoy me.
Having a printer is like having a drill or soldering iron. You don’t need it daily, but you’re glad that you have it when you need it. And my friends are too! I’m printing more for my family, neighbours and friends than for myself.
Having a printer without CAD skills is nonsense. But once you can create your own stuff, you have endless capabilities.
I couldn’t live without one by now.
- Comment on Newbe advice 3 months ago:
Polyamide is a huge pain to work with. It absorbs water like hell, warps, needs high temperatures, and post-processing is hard.
Did you consider using PETG/ PCTG? They are also very strong, don’t absorb water nearly as much, are easy to print and are UV resistant.
Do you already have experience with CAD modeling? Most programs are Windows only, and the only “good” software I found is Onshape, which isn’t FOSS.
- Comment on self hosted digital journal? 3 months ago:
Logseq! Right now, you can only self host the database and sync it with Syncthing for example, but the dedicated sync feature is currently in beta and will be self hostable afaik.

Grocy is exactly what you asked for.
