Good morning!
I'm trying Jumble on Android with Keychat. It's nice, but I still haven't found a fast, lightweight app alternative that doesn't strain my phone and optimizes data traffic. Jumble also takes a long time to load content at startup.
"the sun was behind your hand
it was november, we were cold
one of the trees on the boulevard was dying
the city’s windows were laughing carelessly
we were kissing on every corner
evening had fallen upon the boulevard of mists
it had long fallen upon our shoulders
we were alone, like severed arms
no fires were burning in the mountains
the lighthouses had gone dark
we were searching for each other’s eyes"
- Attila İlhan, a passage from the poem Sisler Bulvarı (Boulevard of Mists)

"Have you ever seen water burn in sand
I have seen this lifelong moan
In the small inside of big gardens
In one of the pots
I have seen
As if woken from a dream
Perhaps a geranium raised me."
- Edip Cansever, A passage from the poem Ben Ruhi Bey Nasılım (I Mr. Ruhi* How am I)

Shortly before my Notesnook subscription was up for renewal, they doubled their fees. Since I don't have auto-renewal, I'm affected and renewing it is currently lower on my list of priorities. Maybe I'll find a better alternative.
#Obsidian (linux and android) + local encryption for sensitive files (#gocryptfs) + #git for synchronization (Codeberg) + Droidfs to view encrypted files on mobile... What do you think? In this scenario, I'm not backing up images. My usage will be text-heavy, like notes, stories, and drafts. Obsidian's extensions also interest me. I've used it before for a while; you could say I took a break.

When I was a kid, I used to see people playing the kemençe and dancing the horon next door in skits and comedy movies/shows. Yesterday night, this absurd event happened to me personally. A lot of people in my next apartment tried to learn horon by watching videos on Youtube.
A modern adaptation to understand horon:
I didn't check how many episodes there were in total. It was over in a flash! But it looks like they paved the way for another season.
Of course, I started watching before sending the note; otherwise, it would have been too fast for me. :)
