I just replaced the usage of Sentry.io with Bugsink. For my purpose of error debugging, it’s more than enough. And it’s compatible with the Sentry SDK, so replacing it means just updating the DSN in the configuration, neat!

Energy Efficient Ethernet via FritzBox is not good
TIL: Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) in the newest firmware (8.2x) of my FritzBox is probably garbage. When set to “automatic” (which is the only setting aside of “off”), the network is super unstable between devices on the LAN/WAN and any other device. In both the LAN and the internet.
Clear suggestion: if you have connectivity issues after the update, disable EEE in your FritzBox’s network settings.

Email archiving with Open Archiver
I’ve recently discovered Open Archiver in a (German) YouTube video, which allows you to archive your emails from various different email providers. It seems to be still a very new project, but it looks promising to me. And it’s completely open source.

Dovecot update is not fun
TIL (at 3 am): Upgrading Dovecot is not fun when the behavior changes a lot. Took several hours to get it running identical to before. But at least I could remove some old configuration parts.

Replaced Numbers with something completely different
I used to use Numbers usually only to track my spendings for my side business to get a quick overview when doing my taxes. All the back and forth with Apple Creator Studio now let me change that.
Now, I’m using InvoiceShelf to track the expenses there. It’s self-hosted and thus I’m in full control of the data. And I can add nice analytics of this data, where it was only a list before.

Migrated away from Audible
I used to use Audible, because it was convenient and cheap for single audiobooks. Now, I migrated away from it by using Libation – a great project to download Audible content – Jellyfin for managing the audiobooks, and BookPlayer on iOS, the latter came through a suggestion from @simon@dewp.space.
Absolutely recommended. Especially the app is so much faster than Audible, which takes ages to even display anything. And way less battery-consuming.

Automatically synchronize documents with Paperless-ngx on macOS
On the one hand, I use a rather classic local file structure to manage my documents, but also use Paperless-ngx to manage them (and especially for search). Thus, I want to keep my local structure, but also automatically upload the documents in Paperless-ngx.
