[11:23:15] <Ingar> fun fact: 2024 is the year with the largest amaount of rain since the beginning of measurements by the meteo service in 1833
[11:23:58] <Ingar> second fun fact: the number of "rainy days" doesn't even come close to the record, so the large amount of rain fell in a relatively short amount fo time
[12:59:39] <ted-ious> fab23: Thanks for the links but have you looked at the code in those repo's?
[13:00:23] <fab23> ted-ious: no, I have just put this as notes into my 2Do.app for the time I may need something like this.
[13:00:46] <ted-ious> One of them is node.js and since it was a short file I thought it might be simple and light weight.
[13:00:59] <ted-ious> Oops no it has 128 dependencies.
[13:01:10] <fab23> sorry about that, I am also not a fan of node.js stuff :(
[13:01:49] <ted-ious> Oh I'm not blaming you in the slightest!
[13:02:17] <ted-ious> I'm glad I could give you a little warning. :)
[13:02:58] <fab23> ted-ious: I will add this to my notes
[13:04:39] <ted-ious> Do you know of anything else that is simple and secure for turning a url into a pdf or even better an epub?
[13:05:18] <fab23> Firefox on macOS can print into PDF :)
[13:05:42] <ted-ious> I was thinking of maybe something like a python script. :)
[13:05:57] <fab23> unfortunately no
[13:06:49] <ted-ious> Selenium or headless chromium could do the same thing but I would rather have something much smaller and not at all connected to google.
[13:09:36] <fab23> Firefox can also be run headless, else maybe a combination of lynx and pandoc?
[13:10:57] <fab23> https://pandoc.org (also out of my notes with the title "ideas to create simple static pages out of many formats")
[13:10:59] <systemd> ^ 03Pandoc - index
[13:11:36] <fab23> Hint out of comment from “Advice Needed: Best Simple Website Platform.” https://soylentnews.org :)
[13:11:37] <systemd> ^ 03Advice Needed: Best Simple Website Platform. - SoylentNews
[13:11:41] <ted-ious> Maybe a bash script that used lynx to get the page and python to get the image links and curl to download them and then pandoc.
[13:12:22] <fab23> I have also an entry "Tools for converting non-RSS websites to RSS", but probably not what you are looking for
[13:12:37] <ted-ious> Oh well if you just want a simple static website generator there are a bunch of them written in python or go.
[13:13:13] <fab23> ted-ious: I know, I have way to many entries in my 2Do with simliar things :)
[13:13:27] <ted-ious> :)
[13:13:50] <fab23> some things are just noted down so I hopefully remember them when I may need them
[13:14:03] <ted-ious> I was thinking of making something like that only using gitea instead of 2do.
[13:14:56] <fab23> I have used Things in the past, but never synced through their server, and https://www.2doapp.com let me use my own CalDAV server to sync between multiple clients.
[13:14:58] <systemd> ^ 032Do – GTD, XYZ and everything in between. A powerful task manager.
[13:18:15] <fab23> ah, forget to mention, macOS only :)
[13:21:56] <ted-ious> Is there supposed to be something called xyz that is similar to gtd?
[13:30:13] <fab23> I was surprised as well, no idea what XYZ is. I use it as GTD, but way out of strictly following it. :)
[13:31:25] <ted-ious> Ok I thought there might be something like a new gtd that got an upgraded acronym.
[13:31:30] <fab23> But so far the best I could find to collect tasks, ideas and such and it does support repeated tasks.
[13:32:02] <fab23> I once also looked at joplin, but this is pure note taking.
[13:32:29] <ted-ious> Are you a mac user?
[13:32:37] <fab23> I am depending on the repeated tasks since a long time, so the GTD tools fit that.
[13:32:39] <fab23> yes
[13:33:01] <ted-ious> I think obsidian and logseq both run on a mac.
[13:33:12] <ted-ious> Have you looked at them?
[13:34:31] <fab23> never tried, but I am aware of at least obsidian, but don't remember why I decided that this does not fit my needs.
[13:34:52] <ted-ious> It's closed source so maybe that's why.
[13:35:00] <ted-ious> But I think 2do is also.
[13:35:03] <fab23> yes
[13:36:02] <fab23> but the data format ist "open", it just writed entries into CalDAV, which you can e.g. also sync into local files with vdirsyncer, and they are ASCII files.
[13:36:44] <ted-ious> Those are plain text markdown files too.
[13:37:05] <ted-ious> I wouldn't even mention an app that used a closed format for user data. :)
[13:37:21] <fab23> This was also they way I used to import from Things into 2Do, with a python tool to extract from the Things sqlite db into json and then I wrote a shell script to create iCaldenar files out of it, which I then could import into my CalDAV server.
[13:42:50] <fab23> The data in the CalDAV server could also be access like Tasks (e.g. Thunderbird Caldendar, but have not tried), but works on macOS / iOS with Reminders or with vdirsync and todoman. The basic data is there, just some meta stuff 2Do adds is missing.
[13:43:56] <fab23> so it is good enough for me, and in the worst case I have a path out (with then some missing features).
