  • I use the AmazFit Band 7, the last sensibly sized watch that exists it often feels like.

    Weather fails to sync, but then it’s probably the least important feature on a watch. The only feature I really wish Gadgetbridge could do that even the official stack can’t is “nap mode”

    As a narcoleptic person still recovering from major depression, I wish I could either press a button to silence the watch and set a “smart alarm” for 30 minutes. Even better if it would turn on automatically if it detects me sleeping during the day!

    The only other thing GB can’t do is stand in for the phone-side ZeppOS API functionality, but who needs that, let’s be honest!

    Fantastic battery life to boot. I have gone two weeks after forgetting to charge it while wearing it almost 24×7!




  • Yeah, that’s a pretty huge con honestly.

    My sheer frustration with all this tiny to grievous papercuts with Tailscale years on got the best of me— Even the Android Magic DNS bug only got fixed last month. But hey, I’m still using it, instead of ZeroTier so that’s something :D


  • ZeroTier pros:

    • Exit nodes don’t break if I lose wifi for a moment
    • Works with custom DNS setups out of the box
    • Allow-LAN actually works on Android, rather, is the default
    • No member limits for free
    • No need to disown devices and putting them into tags to be able to set SSH ACLs
    • Works out of the box with other overlay networks and VPNs

    ZeroTier cons:

    • No freemium tunneling feature
    • No convenient browser-based SSH that only admins can use for some reason
    • Not nearly as sexy

    Candles are punching above their weight these days, it seems






  • I did in fact use to add large padding to the menus back when it was possible, so I couse use my drawing tablet to navigate bookmarks! But alas…

    I think it’s a bug specific to how Firefox handles menus though. Case in point, it only does this some of the times, usually after two levels. Just a single level, and it stays open, except when the second level is too wide to fit to the space available to the right—

    As I was typing this I realized that is it. It doesn’t work if the new level cannot open to the right of the menu. Then, moving the mouse away slightly closes it. But now that I’ve moved the bookmark menu button to the left, it stays open for four or five levels deep!

    Gotta get used to the new location, but good enough!!

    (I know, I need to sort out my mess of a bookmarks collection. It’s almost two decade old, cut me some slack!)
