@confusedalex Pro mode: label each physical device with the #UUID of your #Orgmode heading for it.
Honestly: don't use #UUIDs for that. Please do use something human-readable like slugs: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org#my-id-get-or-generate 
#Irreal: The Use Of Tools
https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12930
"Most important, once you find software that’s worth the time to learn, learn it."
Playing around with a hardware/software setup idea to record #presentations, #lectures, demos.
Initial test looks promising. I just need to find a way of recording audio in a better way.
Maybe I'll record my #PIM lecture and publish it as a series of videos on my #PeerTube channel... 
Managing Network Devices via #Orgmode Table and #OpenWRT Router
https://karl-voit.at/2025/04/18/openwrt-config-via-org/
I do maintain only one single table with all of my devices. I can control their IP and their ability to connect to the Internet (or not).
With this table, I do have a great overview of my devices and their IPs.
I thought you might like the idea ...
Benutzer von Outlook müssen wirklich seeehr geduldig sein.
Meiner Meinung nach einer der miesesten #EMail-Clients (aber leider der beste #Groupware-Client) und dann noch die ständigen #Cloud-Zwänge, das Abschnorcheln der Passwörter durch #Microsoft (iOS/Android/neues #Outlook), quasi optimiert als Einfallstor für #Phishing und #Malware und dann noch solche Kleinigkeiten:
Fehler in Microsoft Outlook kann das System massiv verlangsamen
https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000266163/fehler-in-microsoft-outlook-kann-das-system-massiv-verlangsamen
Leute, ich frage mich ernsthaft, warum die Menschen nicht scharenweise zu zumindest #Thunderbird wechseln, wo man fast alle Outlook-Nachteile mit einem Schlag verliert. Auch bei Benutzung via #Exchange.
@jnv I can totally relate to accepting inconvenience in order to get other things such as less dependency, more off-screen time and so forth.
I totally get this.
However, it's a no-go to ignore all risks associated by the fact that this device doesn't receive any security updates for many years.
You just don't want to run something risky like this.
On the other hand side, since he's running an #Apple device, #privacy doesn't seem to be of any importance.
Yes, Apple should be within your risk management as well, they're too often not good at it and use most of your data for their purpose.
However, besides privacy, #security should be one of your concerns - independent of your understanding all the implications or not. Just listen to all the security experts begging you to keep your systems up to date. It's your data, your money, your life that is at stake here.
@Zenie @lascapi @alternativeto In general: #Emacs is an island.
No groupware functionality, no shared/synchronized real-time editing, ...
Whenever you're on your own, #Emacs is a great choice (if not the best). Whenever you're working with other humans, Emacs is almost a complete fail at the moment from my perspective. 
@lascapi @alternativeto IMO it's not important that you've got one tool that combines everything.
More important it that it is that flexible so that you can include/access/combine data and other tools as well.
Yes, #Emacs is probably *the* most versatile piece of software there is (and I'm using it since decades).
However, I don't use any of its built-in #email solutions (for reasons) but rather embed emails from my mail client (Evolution) so that I can link mails and open them very easily. That's the true power of advanced tooling, not the "one tool that does all of that".
And I'm aware of the irony of that message, considering the fact that Emacs has the power of including really anything(!) within its borders.
And of course: it's always better when it's FOSS and not closed source in order to minimize #lockin effects (besides proper standardized, open storage formats).
Überzeugte Benutzer:innen von #Emacs #orgmode können bei dem Video von @CT3003COOL drunter einen Kommentar hinterlassen, sich eventuell mal in einem anderen Video mit Org zu probieren. (Ich habe kein Account, um YouTube-Kommentare zu hinterlassen.)
Bei diesem Zielpublikum eine interessante Herausforderung, denn sowas wie lock-in Effekte, Migrationsaufwand, Möglichkeiten, an den Rohdaten selbst mitzufrickeln (extern generieren/auswerten, ...) kam gar nicht vor.
Wichtiger scheinen da optische Gimmicks wie Titelbilder, Emoticons und Gifs. Wer das nachvollziehen kann, darf sich bitte bei mir zwecks ein paar Fragen melden.

Of course, if you do have long-time plans for your personal #knowledgemanagement, you should not use proprietary tools like #Obsidian, #OneNote, #Evernote and alike.
You also should think of switching to a much better (learnability, portability/compatibility, typobility, logic, featureset) markup syntax like #orgdown which is used in #Emacs #Orgmode (among other tools).
But if you start with Org-mode, you need to know the right way of doing it, as so many web pages recommend. Here's my take:
#UOMF: The Right Way to Use #OrgMode
https://karl-voit.at/2021/08/30/the-org-mode-way/
ad syntax/Markdown/Orgdown/#LML: https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/
A specific blog post about the #lockin effects of Obsidian and Co (despite using some tool-specific flavor of MD) is in the making. (Please don't start a religious discussion here.)
Tools for thought ≠ just apps.
PKM isn’t new—and it isn’t just digital. From notebooks to mind maps, analog tools still play a powerful role in how we think, write, and learn.
Don’t let shiny new toys and apps distract from solid thinking and meaning making.

Just for clarification: same holds true for any other markup supported by pandoc, not just #Markdown.
However, if you stick with a syntax language that doesn't come with this explosion of flavors, you have less issues converting your data - in some cases you don't even have to convert at all any more.
The issue with Markdown is that its original form defined a small minimum of elements and each tool defined its own potentially incompatible extensions. With other #LML, the "original" or its standard defines the maximum set of elements and therefore, there is no need for "flavors" and no data loss or conversion effort.

Ach, die #KI kann sooooo praktische Dinge
für mich übernehmen.
Beispielsweise zu meinen Kontakten automatisch die
Telefonnummern aus den E-Mails raussuchen.
Seien wir mal ehrlich: was kann da schon dabei schiefgehen?
If you're using #GMail and you've learned about their latest claim to introduce real end-to-end #encryption: it's a lie.
Google has the control and/or you can't do anything against that Google takes control any time.
Real #E2EE works differently: only the sender and receiver are able to access the protected content.
https://michal.sapka.pl/2025/gmail-e2e-is-as-terrible-as-expected/
#Meta also defined E2EE such that the message is encrypted from the sender to them, processed in clear text and re-encrypted for the transmission to the receiver.
Don't let them fool you with false claims and wrong definitions.
@janl The purpose is to warn bystanders to invest in technological #complexity that seems to be very attractive for its advanced features without acknowledging the risks or efforts associated.
Its learning curve doesn't even allow for an easy start.
As with so many awesome tools, this is something for specific experts and not for new/occasional/advanced users.
BTDT and I've had my fair share of bad experiences.
Current pain in my setup: #NixOS. Instead of providing an abstraction layer to keep away certain OS setup & maintenance problems for good, I got into so many little & bigger troubles that I try to tell people only to use it when they are ready to invest its required learning effort all the way.
From my point of view, this also holds true for "advanced" file systems like #ZFS, #XFS, ... YMMV.
In this post I show you how to activate Entra PIM Roles with PowerShell. It can be done with a nice script but there are exceptions to this rule....

I think doing a mindful assessment of Thunderbird and whatever uhh other first-line desktop calendar apps for Linux that I can find with #CalDAV and task support vis-a-vis how they interact with tasks created by Tasks.org (Android) ...... is on the agenda for this coming week. I need to get this done. I need a phone-plus-desktop solution for calendar CRUD that works with my tasks app and calendar app on Android sufficiently gracefully that I can tolerate it.
I have been looking for a drop-in replacement for Google's Android implementation of reminders for like 6 years. I started de-Googling that long ago (wow) and one of the first things I pulled off Google was my calendar and contacts. anyway a lot has changed in 6 years so maybe I'll find something.
preliminary indications: Thunderbird is not giving good vibes, I added a task on my phone and it popped up a window so I could dismiss like 4 weeks worth of upcoming reminders 
#PIM #selfhosting

My previous comment was half in jest, but...
If someone wants to truly "own their full data" as #HTML, and also keep the "rich markup" parts accessible long-term without porting to a #notes app, they can consider adapting for themselves the approach discussed in this link.
https://alexwlchan.net/2024/static-websites/
I understand this is technical and not easy to adapt for note-taking.
AFAIK, there isn't a ready-to-use #FOSS solution around.
@freifunkMUC ansonsten fände ich es auch noch sehr spannend, wenn man als weiteren Service für VPN und die VMs auch #Multicast dann anbieten könnte. Auch per #IPv6 und #PIM / #pim6sd über das #IntercityVPN zwischen Communities dann irgendwann. Das gäbe es meines Wissens nach auch bei keinem kommerziellen Angebot bisher.
Aber dann müssten wir nochmal schauen, wie man das gerade mit euren #GluonParker Bestrebungen noch hinbekommen könnte.
