## Email
|
||||
I am still using GMail as my main mailbox, but I am trying to stay away from the web interface as much as I can. A long time ago, I set up mbsync to sync my GMail down to my laptop, and I use mutt to read emails from there. There are some emails which really need a GUI version to read it (mainly marketing type things), so I have a script to open it in FireFox.

## Document storage
|
||||
I got an email from Google which told me that the promotional period on some storage was expiring, which got me to move everything personal out of Google Drive into my NextCloud server I run at home. I have to leave some things there as I use it as a file storage for an group I help run.
|
||||
|
||||
My [NextCloud](https://www.nextcloud.com) server has been given a bit of attention. I upgraded it to 17.0.2 and converted the SQL storage from SQLite to MariaDB. Things seem to be going very well with that. I also switched the docker container image from the NextCloud one to the one provided by [LinuxServer.io](https://linuxserver.io). They do a good job of packaging up images and providing a common way to manage and configure their docker images. I have switched over all my images to use theirs where I can.

Next steps here are to upgrade to NextCloud Hub 18, which is the latest release, and to get everybody else in the house storing their files on the NextCloud sever.

## Media (Music and Videos)
|
||||
Back before there was stable and wide-spread music streaming services, I had managed to amass a large-ish music collection which I used various local clients to play. Once I decided to ditch Google Play Music, I needed a way to get play my music where ever. Enter in [Airsonic](https://airsonic.github.io/), a music streaming server I can run under docker here at the house. For my phone, I am using an application called Dsub ([F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/github.daneren2005.dsub/), [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=github.daneren2005.dsub)) which lets me cache the music on my phone so I can play it without using the phone's data connection.

My next step here is to take the playlists I made in Play Music and port them over to AirSonic. I will also need to purchase some of the songs I am missing.

## Source control (git).
|
||||
I have been running an instance of [Gitea](https://gitea.io/en-us/) for a while. It is a great basic git repo with web-front end. I have been playing with [GitLab](https://gitlab.com) at work and I might want to try it out. Yeah for docker making it easy!

My $JOB told us all to go full time work from home for the duration this past Monday. This was not a big deal for me as I already do that two days a week, and in the past I have done it full time. The biggest issue is that the kids and the misses are home from school as well. They should be starting the *new* school on Monday, all on-line.

The logistics of getting the teachers ready are hard. Harder still is making sure the students have all that they need. While for most of the kids in the district, this will not be an issue was we do live in a fairly well off part of the world, however there are kids who **will** have issues with things like no access to a computer (or a home!), language barriers, or other challenges to learning. I know our district is trying to help all the students, but I worry about the other districts without the resources we have.

Upside for me? Well, more time with the family, more time for projects both on-line and off-line. It could be worse, I hope it will not get there.

The music collection has been not really managed, and it turns out that when I ran some tool over the years to clean it up, those tools actually created many duplicate songs. Now, the files are not direct copies, so I cannot easly use a tool to clean them up, but I have been working through by hand to clean things up and set up a naming convention I like.

As for AfterShot Pro, I used to use it a lot, but for some reason I really do not remember, I stopped using it, and did not really set it up on the 'new' laptop. I was watching some random YouTube photog talking about their editing flow and I liked it. I was never able to figure out how to easly moving through a collection of photos in DarkTable with just the keyboard, so I was never very fast with it. AfterShot Pro, however is a compidtor to the Adobe suite, and as such, has amoung other things, great keyboard navigation.

10 weeks ago, my $JOB told me it was time to work from home full time until further notice. And, that is not the only change since then. The kids switched to distance education, the wife started teaching her students online, and we stopped going, well, anywhere.

Since I already worked from home twice a week, it has not been too major of a shift for me. The only real downside is that I am now getting invited to more earlier meetings.
