This is a very meta answer to give 😄

Short answer I think you may be out of luck. Firebase/MicroG, websocket (must be included as a part of the app itself by the developer) or some NTFY workaround are really the only options that I'm aware of at this point.

Sounds like you're ready for a different email service 😉

Or you could get it directly from their github releases using obtainium if you don't like to mix repos in to fdroid.

For as uninterested in dialogue as he is (my favorite cringe line being Anakin saying "I wish that I could just wish it all away..." in AOTC 🤢), he does have his moments of creativity.

That was exactly my experience with Florisboard too. It has tons of potential, but I couldn't ever quite feel fluid with my typing on it. It was a relief to see Openboard get forked.

You could try Audile if you don't mind switching away from Shazam. I don't use the app heavily, but it has worked great for me.

I would be surprised if someone who games stuck entirely to open source options. Even so there are some pretty good entries out there like Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It's pretty amazing and better than any top down SNES game I've ever seen.

Start with either The Original Series or Next Generation. There's a lot of structure that gets laid down in those series that other installments rely on heavily. I think Deep Space 9 might also be a good one to get in to early.

Joplin has a sharing feature that allows multiple user editing of an entire notebook.

The downside is that both individuals need to have Joplin installed and either have Joplin cloud accounts or a self-hosted installation of Joplin server, which in either case may be more effort than is worth it for you.

How are your backups currently stored, simple copies of the files like you would make with rsync? I assume your on a Linux NAS, in which case fdupes would likely fit the bill. meld would be another option, and it also has a GUI if your NAS isn't headless.

For future backups restic might be a nice option as it deduplicates itself each time you run the backup. You can set retention policies (i.e. 7 daily, 4 weekly, 2 monthly, etc...) that only keep regulated intervals of backups.

I had the same problem when I set up endeavourOS recently. Seems to be an Arch specific issue, not KDE (provided it's the same issue I ran in to.) Here's an excerpt from the Arch wiki that helped me:

Reference article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi

2 Using Avahi

2.1 Hostname resolution

Avahi provides local hostname resolution using a "hostname.local" naming scheme. To enable it, install the nss-mdns package and start/enable avahi-daemon.service. doas systemctl start avahi-daemon.service (if you do not use doas, substitute sudo)

Then, edit the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts line to include mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] before resolve and dns. It should look like:

hosts: mymachines mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] files myhostname dns

I've looked for this off and on over the years and haven't found anything I really liked. The closest I came to it was Youmail. It isn't an open source app, which is a bummer, but it seems to be a (at least sort of) privacy respecting company. I remember reading their privacy policy at one point and not seeing anything terrible in it.
