Hard Pass

I've been using Planka (https://planka.app/) for years, to manage my to-do lists and other general lists of things (like gifts given, movies I want to watch and so on). But it's been ages since I looked around for other, better apps. I really like the kanban board / trello approach they use as the lists are easy to maintain, add items to, and I can see the whole list in one glance.

I don't need fancy stuff (teams features, sharing, advanced triggers or other automation). It's just for me, running on my home server. Apps should be FOSS and installable via docker, ideally. I've looked at a few of the apps on selfh.st ( https://selfh.st/apps/?search=to-do ) but nothing stood out as really interesting.

Any apps you think of as new and interesting in this area?

Thanks!

EDIT: I've installed Vikunja and I'm giving it a try. So far, it was super easy to install and get started with. We'll see how it looks after a few days, but thanks all for the ideas shared here. 👋🙂

• The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the most active state conducting Foreign Interference (FI) activities in Canada, in scale and scope of activity. FI helps the PRC counter what it perceives as a concerted effort by the West to contain the PRC’s development.
• PRC officials and proxies are likely to continue to conduct FI activities despite increased public scrutiny.
• The PRC is likely to attempt electoral interference over the next year, possibly in the next federal election.
• The PRC will almost certainly continue to engage in acts of transnational repression (TNR).

...

In its September report on foreign interference (FI), the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said Chinese officials and proxies are responsible for planning, organizing, and carrying out interference activities in Canada.

CSIS said that China uses a sophisticated system of incentives and disincentives to condition targets to be responsive to Chinese state interests.

"Incentives include financial and status rewards, many of which occur in the PRC," the agency says.

"Disincentives generally involve coercive practices, including visa controls (both to enter and to leave China) and monitoring, harassment and intimidation, punishing friends and family to deter specific activities."

China's goals is to "push Canadian politicians and decision-makers toward adopting pro-PRC positions and policies that run counter to Canada’s national interests."

...

"The PRC will continue to target Canadian democratic institutions to advance PRC strategic objectives to the detriment of Canada’s interests," the agency says.

...

The CSIS report also published its analysis about FI threats posed by India, Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea.

It is so difficult to find modern electronics without telemetry and ads. Smartphones, laptops, TVs, home routers, security cameras, cars, game consoles, e-readers, projectors, 3D printers, fitness trackers, speakers, and even some printers. Why can’t customers be free from this data collection and advertising? It’s not that we don’t care about it. There simply aren’t many alternatives, and the few that do exist are either more expensive or offer fewer features. Seriously, we need a list of products we can buy and use directly without worrying about telemetry or advertising.

The following list is updated at https://lemmy.ml/post/52706206. Please note that this list may contain errors.

The Government of Canada advises Canadians to “exercise a high degree of caution” while in China and for those planning to visit the country due to the countries new rules that could prevent visitors from leaving. This has been stated in Canada's latest update to China's travel advisory.

China’s latest exit-and-entry rules came into effect on September 15, 2026.

...

Chinese authorities may place an exit ban on specific individuals.

"An exit ban may prevent you from leaving the country if you, your family or your employer and/or business associates are involved in any open civil or criminal investigations, including business disputes," the government writes.

You may only learn that authorities have placed an exit ban on you as you go through customs and immigration controls when trying to leave China. It is difficult to obtain information on bans from Chinese authorities, the advisory says.

Four billion metric tons of uranium sit dissolved in the world’s oceans right now, roughly 1,000 times the total identified in hard-rock mines worldwide. A US startup called Fluxnium just emerged from stealth with a plan to get at it, backed by $7 million in seed funding and chemistry licensed from the US Department of Energy.

The catch: extracting that uranium currently costs more than twice the market rate, and no one has proven it works at commercial scale.

The timing matters. Yellowcake prices have risen approximately 75% over the past five years, according to US Energy Information Administration data. US policy discussions target tripling nuclear capacity by 2050, yet the country imports the overwhelming majority of its uranium from a short list of geopolitically exposed nations.

Google Gemini reportedly hacked into 3 real companies during a security test. During a controlled evaluation, Gemini accidentally got internet access and ended up accessing systems belonging to three real companies.

It reportedly guessed a password in one case and found exposed credentials in public repositories in two others. The model eventually stopped after recognizing the targets were real.

The incident raises an uncomfortable question: how safe is it to give AI agents autonomous access to networks and credentials?
