  • My recommendation for research papers would be Zotero. You have the option of using their cloud (free and paid tiers are available) or you can simply point it at where you’d like to store your documents (this will be up to personal preference, I’ve seen it done using sync tools and self-hosted “clouds” such as Nextcloud).

    I’ve personally been using Zotero for just over 6 or 7 years and it’s honestly been such a game changer for my productivity. Not only does it help keep track of my research, but it also has a very robust plugin ecosystem (such as automatically fetching missing DOIs, more advanced file renaming, fetching stats on papers such as how frequently it’s been cited, etc.).

    I’d be happy to help you get it setup if you give it a shot and run into any issues!

    Only because there’s not been any significant interest to change that. There are alternative already, American Express (which only issues cards for its own bank currently, but do have market share outside the USA), and Discover in the States. They both operate both sides of the system (issuing cards/credits and managing the underlying transaction network) whereas Visa and Mastercard only operate the network.

    Visa and MasterCard are by far the largest, but there’s no reason that alternatives can’t succeed (even though it is unlikely).


  • The best part of having a homelab/home server is the reproducible dopamine hits. First you’ll get some dopamine just getting the thing up and running, but then each service I decide to tackle and implement gives me a whole new hit of dopamine. Most services you can get up in a day or two of tinkering/learning even as a system noob like me. On top of that, if you don’t manage to get it working, it’s pretty easy to scrap the attempt and try something easier.

    Then you also get dopamine hits whenever something breaks and you manage to fix it. 10/10 would recommend.









  • Yes, it’s one of the main use cases.

    “You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly.”
