Every now and then this question comes up. It’s a timeless software engineering conundrum. Kind of like how med students might start to think they have all kinds of diseases and conditions because they’re learning all these symptoms.

Software engineers, especially new ones, tend to be heavily biased toward applying technical solutions to non-technical problems. Most never actually grow out of this.

I’ll advise what I advise every time someone approaches me or one of my peer groups with this very question:

Get yourself a notebook and a pen.

I’m dead serious, not trolling, and not some kind of technophobe zealot.

When it comes down to it, if you let go of what you think you need in a to-do list app, you’ll find that what you actually need is much simpler.

Notebooks are e2e encrypted. Self hosted. Offline. As ephemeral as you like. Indexable for search. Versatile. Take a picture of a page if you really want to. OCR it if you need to.

Pen and paper.

No, you’re not looking to understand. You’re looking to persuade.

love it.

Seems like something you may need to change in Transmission’s configuration, somewhere. Because it’s Transmission that is redirecting you and what you want is for that redirect to include the uri prefix.

Otherwise, I see two options:

• use a regex location block and match against all expected patterns
• use a dedicated subdomain (i.e: server block) for this (each) service you want to proxy and just proxy all traffic to that domain with a root location block.

The latter is what I would do.

SSH is all you need. You can clone directly from one .git directory to another.

e.g

git remote add desktop git@desktop:project/.git
git push desktop main --set-upstream
