My earliest contributions to opensource is probably k9mail. I was still early in my undergrad, and wanted to get my feet wet in the opensource space, and to prep for google summer of code. K9 mail was my choice since the community (cketti) was friendly, and accommodating.

I started implementing the long-press events to handle image/attachment menu options. My PR wasn't upto snuff, but cketti was kind enough to clean it up and merge it. They even put my handle in the commit logs. Looking back, I probably wasted their time with my PR, but they were gracious enough to not complain, and gave me credit.

I still fondly remember those days and nights building upto the pr, and then refreshing the commit log page to see my handle show up.

I hope cketti finds happiness with whatever they do next.

I use selfhosted vaultwarden [0] instance (its a rust implementation of the bitwarden server), and the bitwarden apps (i point the apps to use my server instead of bitwarden).

Vaultwarden + bitwarden client apps (for desktop/browsers) have passkey support, and i've been using them for a month or two without any issues.

That being said, bitwarden client apps for android and ios are going through a rewrite (from xamarin to native iirc), and are yet to support passkeys. However, the bitwarden folk said passkeys are the next feature coming to these apps.

Happens to me too. I use a display link'd dell dock from work, with 3 monitors. Every few times i plug it in, the wall papers revert, and the wallpapervideoextension process starts soaking up ram and cpu cycles (I dont use video wallpapers at all, just static images from my folder as wallpapers everywhere). I've made it a habit to check the activity manager everyday after I plug in the mac, and kill that process if its taking up too much resources.

In part 1[0] of this series of posts, the author mentions they use Pragmata Pro [1].

I'm assuming this [0] is what the commenters are referring to. Google is proposing changing web request api, which can break how ublock origin works.

Also, this [1] happened.

IIRC tesla still doesn't use LIDAR. Just wanted to point that out.

Adding to this, it has webddav support, so you can use gdrive/onedrive or even next cloud. I use my self hosted next cloud instance as the storage and sync.

And for mobile, i use this seemingly now-abandoned app called papership [ios][0]. It lets you signin to zotero and your webdav provider, so you have a sync of books/papers, along with your highlights, notes and whatnot. Thankfully, it seems like zotero are hiring ios devs, so a first party app might be on the horizon.
