  • I use microG on my main phone. I had to set them up myself, and I was told that I could just install them as any regular app through FDroid, but that was not entirely correct.

    You can install them through FDroid, open the app, follow instructions, and both location services and notifications will work once all checkboxes in the “Self Test” page will be ticked.

    Except that the “microG Services Framework installed” checkbox will never tick no matter what you do. Everything will still work no problem, except that microG will not be able to run privileged actions, in particular it won’t be able to immediately awake sleeping apps when they receive a push notification. This will cause delays with instant messaging apps and other time-sensitive notifications.

    I solved all of this by installing through this unofficial installer. The downside is that this will also install some (FOSS) bloatware which you can’t uninstall. But you can disable all the stuff you don’t need, and you will also need to disable it from auto-updating from FDroid otherwise it will re-enable automatically.

    You might also be able to find a ROM with microG already installed. If it exists perhaps I would recommend doing that instead.

    You might still have some issues with integrity checks unless you install other mods. This might cause issues with some banking apps. You won’t find any official guides to bypass these checks though, as this is a gray area.


  • Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately 0 A.D. is still in beta, so it wouldn’t qualify for this list yet. It’s definitely popular enough to deserve to be in the honorable mentions though, so I will add it.

    As for D-Day:Normandy I assume you mean this? I can’t seem to find a license (nor source code actually, but maybe there is no source code as all scripts might have been written manually). I could add it if it’s actually FOSS, but I’d need help about the license and where to find sources.









  • Here’s my config for reference, which works for me:

    name: forgejo
    services:
      forgejo:
        image: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:12
        environment:
          - USER_UID=1000
          - USER_GID=1000
        restart: always
        volumes:
          - ./data:/data
          - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
          - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
        ports:
          #- 80:3000
          - 2222:22
        networks:
          - nginx
    networks:
      nginx:
        name: nginx
        external: true
    

    If you can share your error message we might be able to better pinpoint the issue.

    EDIT: I searched a bit and now I understand better what you are trying to do. I didn’t know about this “SSH shim” idea. This is not what I have done on my setup, sorry.







  • I would say this would be the proper way to do it (at least as a sysadmin), but since it’s OP’s first time I would simplify it to:

    1. Install CloudFlare ZeroTrust daemon on your local server;
    2. Set up reverse proxy such as Nginx (optional, the alternative is to use a different subdomain for each service, which might be easier);
    3. Point the FQDN to CloudFlare.

    Let CloudFlare handle the certificates, DDoS protection, etc… Link if you’d like to give this setup a try.




  • I have to admit that I didn’t really think about reminders. That would perhaps make more sense for Simple Calendar, perhaps in the future I might consider linking notes and reminders. Or maybe it would make sense to implement it directly in Simple Notes? I don’t know, I’ll keep that in mind for later, thanks!

    the number of clicks/menus/presses it takes to create a note

    I strongly agree on that. It must be at most as many clicks as on Google Keep, i.e. two clicks (plus a few to open the app).

    import existing Keep notes from a Google Takeout into your Simple Notes

    I didn’t think about that. That shouldn’t be too hard. After the MVP (minimum viable product) will be ready, imports from various common formats should be implemented, and I guess Google Takeout for Google Keep should be supported too.

    Thanks for the suggestions!
