Just wondering since I know a lot of people quietly use a screen-area-select -> tesseract OCR -> clipboard shortcut.
- I separate subjects of interest into different Firefox windows, in different workspaces – so I have an extension title them and a startup script parse text to ask the compositor to put them in the correct workspace (lets me restart more conveniently).
- I have automatically-set different-orientation wallpapers for using my 2-in-1 depending on whether I use it in portrait or landscape (kind of just for looks, but I don’t think if anyone else adds a wallpaper change to their screen rotation keybind).
I have Syncthing set up to copy save data between my pc and steam deck, but not just for emulator stuff: its got my entire modded minecraft directory and my balatro modloader nn there too.
Syncthing is great and incredibly easy to use. I have mine set to sync my Obsidian notes so I don’t have to pay for the official service.
I have tried multiple different open source note apps that offer free local sync, but I can’t find anything I like. It frustrates me because I love open source.
Take a look at the Self-Hosted LiveSync plugin for Obsidian. Requires some self hosting for a sync server, but it is damn flawless. I have my phone, desktop, laptop, and work laptop, all syncing through it. Syncs live too, so you can even see me typing on one device from another
I use the same setup with Syncthing and Obsidian. The git plugin sometimes gets confused, but nothing I can’t untangle. I also use Syncthing for pictures off my phone, and ebooks onto it.
Actually, I think I do have a setup that might qualify as unusual: I use the scheduled backup feature of Podcast Addict to get a listing of listened podcast episodes, and then I inject them into my Obsidian notes.
