  • Don’t have an agenda and already mentioned it here but consider looking at “Tagspaces” newer versions got a little enshittified, I forget right now what version I parked at, but I think you can still find older builds that have almost all the best features for free. Your files / tagging infrastructure will not fall apart if you switch OS or ditch the app which I think is really important for longevity. It would be really easy to code something new that’s compatible with the tagging structure if you ever wanted too.


  • This is why you need a tagging system that limits your choices and can easily sort across folders by tags. I prefer Tagspaces because it just adds the tags directly to the end of filenames so I never lose the tags and if I am on a system where it’s not installed I do always have the option of just manually adding a tag. I keep things in folders too and 8/10 times the folder structure does the trick, but boy it’s nice to have those tags when I’m either looking for something or need to see a lot of similar things all at once. Never more applicable than tax time. Can pull up receipts w2s, loan stuff, medical stuff all by just pulling the (tax) tag.








  • That’s a tough situation friend. Hope you can prioritize changing that in the near future as not being able to cook or store food is a recipe for health issues. Even in the food deserts of the US there are usually options including shelf stable foods and alternative precooked food options that can allow you to minimize fast food. Understandably not easy, but its such a terrible road to go down I’d argue the effort is well worth it. Also, capitalizing on social networks as much as possible can help - offer to do the cooking or purchasing in exchange for access to a kitchen. Genuinely wish you the best with getting to a better place for your health. For the rest of us, the more we can support healthy easy affordable food options, we do ourselves and our communities a benefit as compared to throwing money into the fast food waste-hole.
