This is what I do. Stick a card between the back of your phone and the case and you can tap your phone like you would normally. No one knows the difference.

I had backed it up to an external drive. If I remeber correctly, there may be an option to remotely connect to google cloud from within the kopia app, but you don’t need to create any VM. I don’t have access to Windows to test it now, but you can always download the all the explore it.

I’ve used Kopia before and liked it. It’s cross platform and allows you to browse back through folders on a timeline like macOS Time Machine.

This is amazing. Did not realize it existed. Thank you for sharing

I have had good results with Tesseract. I had to export the PDF to individual jpegs, then batch OCR’d them with tesseract, then merged the individual pages back into a single PDF. If you don’t want to use command line and are okay with it not being open source, PDF24.org does a good job and does not charge.

Proton recently updated their calendar to include an option to share a calendar with anyone (so they do not need a Proton account to see events).

Didn’t know this was even possible.

Wow this is great. I could use this to set up something like what macOS is doing with their home hub screensaver.

Another vote for syncthing. It just magically works in the background and is very reliable. I take a photo on my phone and within seconds it’s on my Photos library on my computer. (gThumb and/or Shotwell for Linux work well. )

I really like Nextcloud Tasks. It can sync with many apps: Tasks.org (Android), Reminders (Apple devices), Endeavour (Linux), and more.

Also you can have shared lists such as a shared grocery list that can both add two while still maintaining separate accounts.

If you dont want to host your own Nextcloud, there are third party providers you can use such as woelkli.com.

• You have an offline copy of your email records (and calendar and contacts) on your own computer without needing internet that no one can take away or lose.
• It helps if you regularly check multiple email accounts, such as personal and work, all in one place.
• Email integrates with some applications, such as Photos apps via the built-in share menu.
• Advanced features like email filters, mailing groups, etc, that may not be available on webmail.

Cool. I do like how sending photos over chat sends a message which doubles as a notification.

I’m curious to learn of other people’s workflows. May I ask why you prefer to send files over messenger instead of using a shared local file storage?

Yes I think so. I had not used android before switching to Grapehene so I’m never sure what is stock Android and what isn’t.

I’ve never thought of using it for video subscriptions. Great idea to have everything all in once place.

Lawnchair Alpha version is beautiful and modern. I’ve tried many launchers before but have stuck with Lawnchair since I found it a year ago. Get the the official github alpha version - the version in the Play store or F-Droid is not the same.

Obtanium - an app store that downloads apps directly from the developer’s github.
