  • For me, I found Kdenlive decently intuitive (at least in comparison to “professional” options like davinci resolve. I haven’t ever video edited much and I was able to pick up easily without watching any video tutorials). You add video and audio clips, drag them into the timeline, and use the split tool for cutting. Then you can drag the edge of clips to adjust the length, and you drag an effect from the effects menu. One effect I like to use is the “Freeze” one, so I can freeze a frame of a video for a bit. Pretty neat.






  • I don’t have a registered domain for my laptop server (and hence cannot use HTTPS) as I find that I don’t really need it for my use case. Using Tailscale is fine for me if I really need to access it remotely, but I mostly use it for backing up files and images on my local network, and calendars can sync once I get home.



  • Yeah, on Android you use DAV5x or something for syncing, and then another app for calendar (I use Etar). I think DAV5x also acts as an intermediate for smartwatches for calendar notifications, but haven’t verified this, it’s just a hunch of mine. I think it’s probably for ease of development, so the same CalDAV thing doesn’t have to be redone over and over again.

    As a previous iPhone user, I liked that it was in settings (I did not like, however, that I wasn’t able to set up Radicale on my iPhone at all since I didn’t have HTTPS with my laptop server. I guess something something security no options for you. If it worked for you that’s great! Working things are good)



  • How is this different from AppImageManager (which just moves it to an “Applications” directory)? Is this just to make Mac users feel more at home? I mean, I don’t think anyone will be complaining (as long as it’s not forced upon us, the more weird projects the better. If you are complaining than just don’t use it, you’re not the target audience??)

    edit: Just read the article, yeah, it is supposed to look like macOS with the dragging to the Applications directory. Pretty neat I guess if somebody is used to macOS!
