  I remember the shared storage location functionality in the Password Store app but I no longer see it in any versions released since last year. That’s why I had to switch to Termux. Also a control freak, just a different kind 😅

  Are there mechanisms for fully automatic synchronization on every file change and every initialization in the Android and console apps for password-store out of the box these days? Using Syncthing with password-store at the moment to get a user experience as close to that as possible. Had to switch from the Android app to Termux and the CLI because the app no longer supports usage with Syncthing.

  It’d be cool if your app was installable from F-Droid, for which the sources have to be somewhere under a free license. I most likely won’t be able to contribute code but would indeed like to look through the sources, and maybe help with translation if the code supports internationalization.

  Do some parts of go-notes have proprietary sources? I can’t find the source for the native Android client in the repo or instructions on how to download and build it from elsewhere.

  Have you tried adding Tor hidden services? It was the easiest solution for me to expose ports from behind the provider’s NAT to my phone when not at home.

  Reading reviews on Google Maps in private browsing mode also got blocked for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Element/Matrix Official Docker Install Method?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, setting up YunoHost on a new Debian VPS was a couple of commands, and having it install Synapse and Element was a few clicks in the UI plus a lot of waiting.

  However. I thought of Element as an alternative to Slack or Telegram the way OP thinks of it as an alternative to Discord. I was wrong. Element competes with IRC. This is the only platform from which I’ve seen actual groups of people (FOSS projects) switch to Matrix. I think Matrix focuses on different usage needs than Discord, and trying it with willing Discord users will be an interesting exercise in seeing what perspectives they bring and what issues that raise, but the solution to their problem will be somewhere outside Matrix, and it will be in somewhat distant future, not with the current state of FOSS tools.
