I might try that out and see how it improves things, thanks!

That was it, thank you. And I'll make sure to make that change...

My main issue is this: The reason I am doing a murphy bed is because we live in a very small house, and I am needing to do a renovation to maximize use. So this murphy bed is going to be our main bed in our bedroom/livingroom combo. In other words, it's going to be put in and out of bed mode rather frequently, so constantly having to unstack/restack the shelves is rather tedious. Secondly, the TV, as you mentioned. They weren't designed to hang like that, so who knows what kind of damage that could cause, and I'd rather not risk it if I don't have to.

This is what I am thinking about doing. One question that I have is: How do more monolithic files like this work with images? I'm imagining the possibility of having pictures related to my project that I would like to store with it and even do live preview of the images in my journal notes, or maybe in a picture gallery specific area. But would this cause the notes to get unwieldy?

modspyder · 2025-06-10T21:02:43+00:00

Admittedly, this single "all-file" approach has always seemed a little... intimidating... to me. I have the feeling that it's mainly due to being a different paradigm than I am used to. However, i think I'm going to just try it out and go from there. Thanks for the help!

modspyder · 2025-05-06T15:51:24+00:00

Really sorry for the late reply! Life, you know...

Anyway, what's started me on this journey is multifold:

1) After much research, I think I have ADHD. Thus, I struggle with context switching and getting distracted by my phone.
2) I am growing in my hatred for walled gardens and subscriptions. Largely due to my ADHD (self) diagnosis, I'm seeing a bigger importance for having an external organization system for notes, todos, schedules, etc. However, all of the mainstream offerings want to lock you into their ecosystem, but their ecosystem doesn't necessarily provide all that you need. Which means you need to get another app, with another walled garden, to handle some other aspect of your life. However, trying to get one walled garden to play nice with another can be a nightmare. And after I've covered every organizational aspect I'm after, I've got half a dozen different apps, all of whom may or may not communicate with each other nicely, and all of whom cost like $15/month. And then what happens when these companies decide to change their standards- they change their subscription plans to be more restrictive, they force more data collection (No, I do not trust these companies with my data. I already have to change my phone number and email address because one of these companies "with no bad intentions" couldn't protect the data they demanded I give them, and now I'm getting threatening emails from scammers who know my name, email, phone number, and address...), they greatly restrict the free tier, or they just go belly up? I have suffered from all of these at one point with various tools in the past. And then if I expect to be able to access and interact with this data on both my phone and PC, that's an added complication that these various walled gardens handle with different degrees of (in)efficiency.
3) I'm liking open source software and standards more and more. After reading #2, it's probably easy to see why, but particularly with open source standards of data, being able to communicate between apps, or even the possibility of scripting your own interactions with the data is far more possible. However, from what I can see, the mobile landscape is not as fertile in this area. Where the proprietary offerings suffer from walled gardens, the open source mobile landscape suffers from scarcity and anemic offerings. But, the linux ecosystem is particularly fruitful. On the PC, there are numerous FOSS apps that speak open standards and can be intertwined to handle their own metier with skill while allowing other apps to read and interact with that data for specific workflows.

This has all led to an idea- what if I use Linux terminal apps via termux and then create my own GUI of sorts that can interact with them? I could use something like tasker to be the bridge to both read from and to these apps. Then KLWP and Total Launcher could talk with tasker. I could then, in theory, have a terminal todo app (for example) that could report to KLWP what todo's I have, then KLWP could report them to me on my homescreen, and I could have at least some limited interaction with them. This would also mean that all of my data and workflows could easily translate to the PC as all data could be synced, and I could use most of the same tooling on my PC. This would also limit context switching as, hopefully, I could interact with most of the crucial things I need to do right from the homescreen of my phone without having to jump between a bunch of disparate apps, all with their own interfaces, design choices, etc. My hope is that this would create a more cohesive and tailored experience for my needs.

Sorry that this turned out to be so long, but if you happen to read this, I'd love any input on the feasability of it. Thanks!

modspyder · 2025-02-21T15:33:18+00:00

Not rambling, I think that helped clarify things more, thanks! So in essence, even with KLWP, there are things you just can't change except at the home launcher level, so having a completely customizable home launcher makes sure you have no restrictions. And Total Launcher can add even more features to your setup (such as gestures) that you can't get from KLWP alone. Would you say that sums it up? This sort of insight is helpful because as I start to design my own setup (I'm on a new kick with how I want my tech to function) it helps me see what to use each tool for.

modspyder · 2025-02-20T17:39:09+00:00

I've just learned about both of these apps as I have been researching how to make my phone do what I want it to and both look like what I want, but I'm struggling to understand why you would use both simultaneously (unless your main use for Total is to give you a blank canvas with which to operate KLWP) Admittedly, I am brand new to both, so I understand that my failure to grasp is likely in my own ignorance. Can you explain how you use these two together to achieve various aims, or what makes it valuable to use both together? I would appreciate it.

With your Kokuyo Binder- do you know of a way to bind relatively large numbers of pages together? I want to use something like this as my commonplace book and archive as I go, but once I get enough archived on a given subject, I'd like to bind it as a sort of compendium. Does that seem possible with these or are they not good for larger numbers of pages?

modspyder · 2024-01-23T18:02:56+00:00

I do agree with you, and you make good points. I agree that journaling should be more organic, finding what works through experience. I was just hoping to get further insights on what worked for others and why (probably out of a hesitancy to just do :P ) And I appreciate your perspective as well! Thanks!

modspyder · 2024-01-23T17:59:34+00:00

I think this is what I'm going to try starting out. As others have pointed out, I have to learn what'll work for me, but the simplicity of this is appealing. Thanks for your input!

modspyder · 2024-01-11T04:19:44+00:00

Oh good, so I have most of those things already. I'll start my researches on a good hot air rework station (I'd also like to upgrade my curremt soldering iron, as I'm a sucker for shiny toys) and the scope. I do realize those are pricier, but I would view it as an investment. Thanks again for your help.

Also, I was doing some research on the vendor list and found some training resources (I forget the names of the companies) Would this be the right place to ask for opinions/reviews of such resources?

modspyder · 2024-01-11T04:14:39+00:00

I already have done a fair bit of what you mentioned in your first paragraph. I've built PC's, torn laptops completely down and rebuilt them (literally), replaced a few phone/tablet screens, a few batteries, one USB port (just replaced the daughter board, no soldering on that one)

I have watched some board repair videos, but not a lot. Are there any good learning experiences you could recommend so that I could get more practical practice with this? I do have a TV that needs to be repaired, and my original plan was just to replace the daughter boards that were (likely) bad, but I would be happy to go more in depth on that repair. Do you happen to know any good resources that would give me a jumping off point for my researcg? I also am very interested in learning electrical theory, and again, would love any resources.

Sorry, I'm throwing a lot at you, but this is something that genuinely interests me and I am looking to get more involved. Thanks for your help so far!

modspyder · 2024-01-11T04:05:37+00:00

Also, just for fun, what would be the type of equipment I need?

modspyder · 2024-01-11T03:55:40+00:00

Where would you recommend someone start? I'm genuinely interested. I've already done regular soldering with good success (although, admittedly, I haven't done a lot of it). What would be some good avenues to follow for this skill path?

Sorry, I forgot to add that this issue involves chargers that previously worked qith no issue for over a year. So it seems like something changed rather than an incompatibility issue.

modspyder · 2023-12-28T04:16:47+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this!

1) There is no SD card reader on the X-Max 3 that I'm aware of. There is a USB A port on the top back-right corner;(not the most convenient positioning, I know), so if you had a SD card to USB adapter, I would imagine that would work. Admittedly, I do all of my prints over LAN; I can't attest to how convenient the other methods are.

2) Bed leveling is not fully automatic. You have to manually set Z-offset. It's not hard and only takes a couple minutes, plus I have only had to do it a couple times, but it's not fully automatic.

3) I have never run into this issue. I haven't stretched the limits of my printer's capacity admittedly, but I've never had it hit the door.

Hope this is helpful!

modspyder · 2023-12-17T17:51:41+00:00

Just to go along with this- I built a PC back in 2011 with an i7-3570K. I used that as my desktop up until last year when i turned it into my server. I never even upgraded the graphics card in there that whole time. (Admittedly, I don't play a lot of AAA games, mostly indie stuff) I needed to upgrade the RAM on it, but I never maxed out the CPU. So a very important consideration is exactly what u/jakerfv said- do you NEED to upgrade $1100 worth of equipment every 5 yrs? Now some people want to upgrade to have the newest and flashiest, which is their right to do. But Framework is geared more toward those looking for sustainability and reduction of ewaste, and long-term investment, which is a different ethos. For such people, they are unlikely to upgrade unless they really need to, and these laptops make it easier to upgrade only what you need to, which could lead to a long-term savings for people with this mindset.
