I'm using a library card outside of the U.S. with Libby and send all my loans to my Kindle via amazon.de, works fine

Still annoying that the app is not available globally, just prevent the creation of accounts by checking the location? Moved abroad where Claude is available, but still have an EU App Store account because you can't easily switch countries with existing subscriptions, especially music.

They have a few blocklists with IP addresses and hostnames listed on their page you can easily subscribe to. https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch-mini/blocklists.h...

This implies you're using their reverse proxy feature, not just plain DNS records.

+ the Omnisearch plugin for a great search engine in Obsidian. It can index images and pdfs, too

I think there’s a setting to enable cloud storage, so as long as you’re logged into Firefox Sync/Chrome it can be synced but has to be triggered manually to sync/merge the filter lists.

Just found out that there's an extension to use Docker/Podman within VSCode which works on a local or remote machine.

Are there any somewhat easy-to-use solutions to isolate a development environment? Preventing or at least decreasing the damage malicious packages could do? Like deleting files or uploading a private ssh key/keychain to a 3rd party server?
I was looking into things like GitHub Codespaces, I believe they're isolated per repository and integrated into VS Code, but I'd like something I could run on my machine or a server of mine.

I've done this as well recently, and the list at bgp.services helped a lot. Vultr is a good example, they have locations across the globe.

Tailscale is just great! It's so easy to use, I have it running on all my devices and servers, so I can connect to them from wherever I want, and with the "Exit Node" feature you can also select a system to route all traffic through (and switch easily between them, at least on mobile).

If you are on a Mac, have a look at finicky to manage which URLs should open in a specific browser.

Seems they'll refund the paid account, still a weird thing to do.

I've been using git as my storage and sync location for a couple of years now. Use it with Obsidian on my Mac, Working Copy is pulling and pushing the repo on my iOS device. At some point I also used the Gollum Wiki to have it available on the web as well.
It's just important to have automated triggers to push and pull things to avoid conflicts. That's possible with Shortcuts on iOS and there's a git-plugin for Obsidian as well.

since fastmail supports push via the default iOS mail.app for a while now I just deleted their own app

I get export errors with about 250gb in Google
rmkrmk | 5 years ago | on: Tired of note-taking apps
I hope they'll release nvUltra soon: https://nvultra.com
I use this as well, have all my stuff in a git repo and sync it to my iOS device so I can edit it with apps like iA Writer or 1Writer easily.

It seems to, on the upgrade page for a personal account it still says "Pro" but for $4/m
rmkrmk | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you keep a personal knowledge repository?
A bunch of markdown/text files in a git repo, hosted on github/gitlab/gitea (github in my case).
This way I can edit the files online on github.com, on my desktop and push/pull the changes. On my iOS device I use http://workingcopyapp.com - I can edit and create files as well as push and pull changes.
On my Desktop I can use any tool I want to search and edit the files, on github I have full text search and working copy also features full text search.
Most importantly: I own my data and they don't up in some database I need to worry about.

Was just a question, don't get me wrong here. Thought they would do this for their managed service.
