Ever since covid hit, I’ve been keeping digital copies of several books like the following:

• Reader’s Digest DIY Manual
• The Forager’s Harvest - A Guide to Identifying Harvesting and Preparing Edible Wild Plants by Samuel Thayer
• The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants
• Back to Basics - Abigail R. Gehring And of course a copy of Wikipedia.

I haven’t gone full “prepper”, but seeing how fast things went sideways at the beginning of covid, it makes me feel a little better to set aside a little bit of hard drive space, just in case.

I’m sure influencers do, but over half the xevelopersyi like to follow on Twitter all created Mastodon accounts but never post to them. They all still only post to Twitter.

I use the free version of Todoist. I don’t know what features google tasks all as now, but the big reason I switched from Tasks to Todoist was

1. Being able to share lists - Super helpful for things like shopping lists
2. Integration with things like Alexa - Going through the pantry and adding things to the shopping list with just my voice, or being able to add something to the shopping list just by saying it when it runs out is kind of like magic.
3. Easy natural language recurring tasks

I can’t live without todoist personally. I started with Google tasks.

That’s the hard part. It takes some time to curate a good list. One of the nice things about ttrss is that you can drop any url into the subscribe field and it’ll search the page for RSS feeds. I’m sure other readers probably do something similar.

When it does click with you, them every other editor feels a little broken. It’s a double edged sword.

I self host a tiny tiny rss instance, and while I’m not a huge fan of the developer and his behavior, I like the web app in combination with the android app. It’s been working great for me for years.
