I tried many different options 5 years ago and settled on straightforward text or markup files for all my notes. I use Qownnotes on desktop machines, Markor on Android and synching across all of them. It is very reliable and always in sync. I also do a compressed backup every night.

As others have said, your already streets ahead of the average person by being on Lemmy and knowing what questions to ask. The best way to learn is to try, make mistakes and learn from it. I find the fun is in the learning. I also find AI immensely useful for writing and fine tuning scripts along with specific software questions.

Cheers thanks for that.

I’m just across the ditch. You have to wonder how much Reddit is now just an AI trainer.

Thanks guys for all the replys, much appreciated. Oh well, glad I’m on Lemmy. Seems to be a world wide coordinated shift going on at the moment.

Maybe all those people who I took the piss out of in the past for lining their homes with tin foil weren’t so wacko after all, just ahead of their time :)

I was doing some investigating of various browser telemetry using android pcap log. I noticed that on any browser I install bypass paywall plus there is a call to gitflic.ru when viewing a page even when it’s not on the list of processed websites in the extension. I can’t tell the contents as it’s https. Considering this extension and developer have been around for a long time I’ve no reason to suspect the extension but I’m wondering why the connection? I doubt it’s checking for updates as it does it often when viewing any page. Any thoughts from anyone? I’m not trying to run down the app at all, I think it’s really good, just wondering why the connection.

Just tried all 3 sites on desktop and dab.yeet.su working fine again. The other two are still 30sec samples.

Thanks. Interesting, just tried dab.yeet.su and it’s working fine now. That’s on my phone so will check on my desktop in case it’s an issue at my end.
