I don’t use the Word replacement but I do use Calc (excel replacement). I very often want to run calculations or chart a bit of data and use Calc for that. Yeah I could use Google sheets, but every time I want to use it I have to go get my phone out to MFA. Far easier to just type “calc”.

I do not use any other features of LibreOffice.

At work I use the standalone power point and excel. I am not collaborating 99% of the time, and Microsoft Office has mechanisms for collaborating & sharing if I do. Using the browser always feels second class with some options moved or hard to find. Of course YMMV.

I really like Symfonium. I’ll second giving it a check.

I love using it for Navidrome & offline caching, and it’s nice because it does offer some casting capabilities internally.

Im not terribly familiar with the HW keys; Are you able to get multiple keys? I would worry that it would be similar to TOTP, in that if you lose/misplace/don’t have the device then you would be locked out.

And I probably wouldn’t switch banks for it, it would depend on how much more secure I perceived it and any other bank differences.

I agree, it’s not a perfect system. Even if you do have multiple devices - you may be locked out if you lose your phone while traveling, can have multiple failures.

Although I don’t know what is remotely secure and is elderly friendly. Email or SMS 2FA would have been the closest in mind, but it’s not secure, and plenty of elderly struggle with both.

You can use TOTP with multiple devices. For example with an app on your phone and something like KeePass on your laptop/desktop.

Still not convenient since you don’t walk around with this in your pocket - but it doesn’t have to be just one point of failure.

Anything you’d recommend over nextcloud for filesharing? I’ve had it setup so I’ve left it.

I just suggested something like it because OP wanted to they and their friends to be able to use the images.

Thanks! I’ll have to check it out myself.

It doesn’t help if folks are iOS, but perhaps ludicolo@lemmy.ml could set up a file sync server (e.g. nextcloud, etc) that syncs the files to their phones, and then an app like this could be used to pick images?

Or maybe there’s a way to set it up to read from a WebDAV mount point either in application or through Android?

I would say an image archiver like Hydrus might be suitable for an individual, but I don’t think it would have anything for your multiuser use-case.

I am curious if any popular keyboards accept custom gify/etc replacement URLs. It’d be pretty slick to set up Heliboard or Futo keyboard with an integrated self-hosted gify

Can have a shared power envelope and naturally shares heat dissipation - which can both be limiters to simultaneously making full use of integrated graphics & CPU as well, even if the integrated graphics were powerful enough for gaming.

I think jellyfin offers DLNA support? You could enable it localy and see if your TV(s) can access files that way, without the jellyfin TV app as a middleman

With WebOS app, I’ve noticed sometimes when watching TV shows, if I select one audio track, it will

• go to the next episode
• keep the desired audio track selected
• play the original/nase starting track.

To remedy it, I have to switch from the current selected audio track and back ¯_(ツ)_/¯

As far as possible solutions to bad app behavior on your device - get a separate TV device (roku, etc) or some pc or SBC run a jellyfin app on it. You’d want to research first to see if you could use your existing remote somehow (e.g. maybe an IR receiver)

Under the hood its mostly tables and reports, so ultimately not much, if you were dedicated enough to using Excel to rebuild GnuCash’s views. It’s more streamlined than excel would be because you won’t have to worry about implementation, overhead of adding a new account, etc. Some things like auto-recommending accounts during import (and import itself) could be arduous in excel if not supported natively. Split transactions could be a headache (think your paycheck, which might be split into 401k contributions, several taxes, money into your bank, etc).

But fully recreating it in excel when it already exists would be a headache. More than likely you will have a more limited view in Excel if you’re just creating a handful of tables to represent all of your many accounts.

I use GnuCash. I typically update every couple weeks up to a month. Beyond that it can be hard to remember what specific transactions were.

It’s double ledger and I really like that it forces strict accounting. That sounds cumbersome but once you’re set up (it may take some trial and error), for me my workflow is essentially:

• Copy prior paycheck splits & update them to reflect new paychecks.
• export QFX files from credit cards
• import QFX, check / set transaction accounts
• any small manual updates (interest payments in accounts, etc)

It’s not automated but my data always remains local, and I can use the Linux or android application. I don’t bother daily tracking on my phone, else it might be cumbersome. I’ve never used any of the budget features, just tracking where my money comes and goes.

I don’t use Trillium, but I’ve enjoyed Logseq. I use it with nextcloud to back up. It is not browser friendly as far as I know when self hosted. It’s primarily just markdown.

This sounds quite interesting!
