Dumbing down

  • SSP 

A few things I’d really like to dumb down or sort out over the next few weeks:

Site: This site runs on WordPress, has facets of the indieweb, has ActivityPub and a crude implementation of self engineered micropost interface. All cool but needs quite a trim to make the best use of all these features.

Hardware/Infra: VPS, VPN, Odroid for reverse proxy, NCP, NUC, Moose, External hard disks…Love the current implementation for the various utilities they serve. However, I see myself spending lesser and lesser time in front of the PC. Which is good? But which also means I need to find a better way to manage these in the little time I want to spend.

GPX: Go on a hike or ride? Automatically log this on my site. Gotta have that super neat Stamen map. I did get really close to setting this up sometime back but got left on the wayside. Also time to update my Outdoors plugin?

Firefly3: Love this tool for finance tracking. Need to build that rule engine to automate some of those imports and reports.

Snikket/Matrix/Slidge: Need to get this sorted out to be part of those groups that still rely on WhatsApp. I setup a bridge sometime back but deleted it because I was rarely using it. More of a nice-to-have so may not quite get to this anytime soon.

Memories: Selective photo sharing with family or friends. Send a link instead of sharing photos individually. Love the nextcloud setup so far. Would be neat if I can take this up a notch.

Music: Kinda like my current Navidrome setup. Would like a bit more flexibility in terms of song or folder access though. Smarter playlists? Also multidevice sync? Music system?

Notes Sync: Currently relying on Signal notes to self and Trilium send for bookmarks. Need to automate this for self sorting with tags in Trilium notes.

Smart sceen: On demand and power efficient display for Calendars, Adana, Gallery, dashboard display, news updates etc. Thinking MagicMirror but a bit more optimized. Repurpose that RPi or Odroid once it’s all integrated into the NUC?
