  • I don’t have an iPhone but my daughter does.

    For music I don’t sync anything to her phone. I run a navidrome server and set up an account so she can stream whatever she wants whenever. I think she uses isub as her streaming app. It does allow you to download and cache files from the server to play if you are offline

    As for sms, I don’t know of any way to sync in Linux, but if you use Windows, the phone link app works, as several of my coworkers have set it up. I know it installs some piece of software on the iPhone you want to sync to, maybe you could do that and try running the phone link program with wine?

    I also know kde connect has a link for iOS. It’s not perfect but it will do the sms linking thing.




  • I really like the orbiter 2.5. it’s not as light as the nimble but it is still tiny. I like that it is open source and they really have thought to put a bunch of engineering in to the gear workings instead of just using clone bonditech gears. It cost, like, 48 USD to get from AliExpress and is definitely high quality.

    Thh Hero Me mount seamed like a good choice as well. It was a huge pain in the a$$ to assemble tho, not that I am complaining. The way it mounts to the carriage means you can’t just assemble and mount (at least with my old tronxy carriage plate). The included adapter design that comes in the file package didn’t quite work correctly and I didn’t realize that until I was all disassembled. There is a magnet mount version that would probably have been a better option. I’ll probably print one to have as a spare if I ever need to disassemble the mount. Other then the mounting tho I really like the design and thought that went into it by mediaman.
