Music stuff, player and file stuff
Currently using Musicolet, which is unfortunately proprietary, on GrapheneOS/Android, because it’s the only proper one.
I used Tauon for a time, but it’s not yet mature enough, and I like the UI of Strawberry more.
Currently using Tauon for laptop, but it’s not mature enough, so I’m going to be switching to Strawberry or Clementine.
2026-05-09
Decided to go for Strawberry, as Clementine is still recommending a 10 year old version on their site.
2026-05-22
It wrecked my entire playlist, and I don’t really like the UI.

In search of a better mouse
Specifics:
- Laptop
- Linux
- Features
I have been using a silent mouse for 3 years now, it works fine, but I want something better.
So, I was thinking of switching to a ball-pointer mouse, a drawing tablet, or a fully customizable (Framework?) mouse.
Write down what the needs and restrictions of my current platform are.
Maybe a configurable mouse? With trackball? And programmable buttons?
Or maybe replace it entirely with a drawing tablet, would be more versatile.
State of Android open source keyboards
I will list the most popular / with good potential.
- FlorisBoard
- Android Keyboard
- FUTO Keyboard
- Unexpected Keyboard
- Fossil Keyboard
FlorisBoard
This one is the most customizable, but lacks intermediate features (autocomplete, swipe typing). And if you don’t need that, then this is absolutely the perfect keyboard.
FUTO Keyboard
Meager customizability compared to FlorisBoard, has great swipe typing, and autocomplete.
Android official keyboard
- Largely superseded by Google Keyboard
- Barely receives updates

Research reliable/long term car engines
Toyota 1HZ, legendary 4.2L inline-6 diesel. Gear-driven plus a tiny belt you could change blindfolded. No turbo, no drama. Just runs.
Nissan TD42, another 4.2L monster. Gear-driven timing, available NA or turbo. Simple and stupidly tough.
Mercedes OM615 / OM616 / OM617, fully cast-iron classics. 4 to 6 cylinders. Giant double-row timing chains. Proven in every desert on Earth.
Jeep ERH (4.0), American iron at its best. Inline-6 gas engine with crazy low-end torque. Built to idle through the end times.
Cummins ISF2.8, compact 4-cylinder turbo diesel with common rail injection. Cast iron everything. Built for hard work.
Opel C24NE, 2.4L gas 4-cylinder. Iron block, iron head. Ultra-basic design equals huge lifespan.
Mercedes OM314, old-school 3.8L industrial diesel. 4-cylinder, gear-driven cam, no turbo. Tiny footprint, giant heart.
This list sticks to fully cast-iron engines only. There are plenty of other legendary “million-mile” motors out there with aluminum heads (but those aren’t really meant to last a million miles).
