DevOps⚑

Monitoring⚑

  Don't upgrade to 12.x if you're still using Helm 2.

Fitness Tracker⚑

• Improvement: Discovery of wasp-os and Colmi P8.

  wasp-os is an open source firmware for smart watches that are based on the nRF52 family of microcontrollers. Fully supported by gadgetbridge, Wasp-os features full heart rate monitoring and step counting support together with multiple clock faces, a stopwatch, an alarm clock, a countdown timer, a calculator and lots of other games and utilities. All of this, and still with access to the MicroPython REPL for interactive tweaking, development and testing.

  One of the supported devices, the Colmi P8, looks really good.

Operative Systems⚑

Linux⚑

ActivityWatch⚑

• New: Introduce ActivityWatch tracking software.

  It's a web application that can be installed both in Linux and Android that automatically tracks where you spend the time on.

  Super interesting for life logging and automating stuff. Until I save some time to react on the data, I'll just gather it and see how to aggregate it.

mkdocs⚑

• Correction: Explain how to add files through a plugin.

  Long story short, use the on_config event instead of on_files and on_nav if you need to add files and want to change the navigation menu.

Syncthing⚑

• Improvement: Mention privacy configurations.

  Disable the Global Discovery and Relaying connections options.

Android⚑

Signal⚑

• New: Introduce the messaging app and how to decrypt the backups.
