Yes. I use my headphone jack at least 3 times a week for 4 hours at a time went I’m on dialysis.

Plus for home listening I have a nice pair of over ear headphones which I run off a mobile DAC/AMP which connects to the phone via 3.5mm aux cable.

I won’t buy a phone if it doesn’t have a headphone jack. Hence my previous phone was an LG30 and my current is a Sony Xperia 10iii.

I once tried using Bluetooth in ear headphones at dialysis and the damn thing fell out of my ear and onto the floor. Had to leave it there for hours until I was unhooked from the machine. Thank goodness the cleaner never came to sweep otherwise it would be lost forever.

With wired this is not a problem, neither is forgetting to charge them since they don’t need charging.

Of all the open source note apps I tried over a year ago, they didn’t seem that great. I’m also not interested in self hosting.

I like that Keep let’s you quickly create lists, let’s you add images, you can markup images, you can pin notes, search is fast and it all backs up to the cloud seamelessy. And I can result access it on any device.

In general I think there’s a lot to be said for Google services. Drive is great, put anything in there and have it everywhere and easily share.

Photos is indispensable because it’s so tig byhtly integrated with Android: take a photo and instantly it’s backed up to the cloud. No worry about losing my phone because my memories will be in the cloud.

I use Calendar all the time to manage events and reminders and it works perfectly. Also syncs to my calendar on Mint perfectly. It’s fast, easy to use, let’s you get in and out.

Google Messages now uses RCS which is great, is designed very well, and you can also send and receive messages from the web if you want. Plus it integrates nicely with Phone, Meet and Contacts.

It’s really hard to beat. And this is all free, although I pay €20 a year for the larger storage plan.

You can replicate this in Nextcloud but then you need to self host, set up incoming open ports, sorry about being ddoss’d or hacked, have either a large HDD or external HDD which may fail at any time. And it won’t integrate with Android as well.

I get people’s concern with privacy but I don’t think it’s as big a deal as people make out and end up throwing the baby out with the bath water.

That’s a fantasy I’m afraid. Just use Keep.

They have some serious security going on. For example you don’t just log in with a password, they also issue you a long key which is needed in conjunction with the password in order to access your passwords. So it’s not enough for a hacker to know your password, they also need the decryption key, which only you have.

And they have other measures on their servers as well. This is no fly by night operation.

In addition to logins you can also store: Passwords Bank Cards Bank Accounts Secure Notes Software Licences Drivers Licence ID Membership Cards Documents API credentials SSH credentials Database Crypto Wallet Passport Medical records Email accounts Reward program Social security number Server

Quite a lot more than just logins.

Far, far more categories in 1Password

1Password - password manager with cross platform sync.

I’ve used Bitwarden but it’s very barbones. In the past I always used 1Passsword because it’s full featured but I was on Mac at the time and 1Password was Mac only.

I then moved to Linux and used Enpass, then Bitwarden. At last 1Password realised they needed to go cross platform and they have a native Linux client. So I moved back to them

Easily the best and most secure and full featured password manager that’s ever existed. I highly, highly recommend it if you haven’t tried it.

I’m using Connect, Sync and Infinity. Sync is the most polished but Connect is very close. Connect let’s you post as well as reply whereas Sync and Infinity only let you reply.

Yes but it’s not as bad as you think. Just eat the bottom half.

I’m on dialysis and the Dietician says I can eat it, but just half the bun. If it’s ok for me, it’ll be fine for your if your kidneys are ok.

The coke is the unhealthiest part ironically. The burger is the healthiest part because if you don’t put loads of sauce, it’s pure beef, lettuce and tomato with a roll. All healthy ingredients.

The chips are medium- healthy, the problem being the oil. So only have a few if you can, preferably without salt.

Something like KFC is far worse because the chicken is coated in crumbs and deep fried - LOADS of bad oil.
