The ones used for English? Sure. When it comes to other languages I certainly don’t know all of them though.
Though, that is at least partially due to me learning English as a second language so I’ve looked at these a lot in dictionaries.

This is phonetic1 spelling. The only good one.
1 Actually phonemic. Don’t kill me
The only game on my phone! Great game.
Probably not nearly close to top hours though. I haven’t even beaten it once yet.
Still, good for her. I guess that team is for emotional support to help with the cognitive dissonance.
It doesn't seem to be available as part of the standard modifiers. You can probably have it as part of a custom layout, but I have no idea about how to do that.
Yes, it depends on the layout. For example, I use the “English (Macintosh)” variant of the US layout. It has bindings for level 3 shift on all keys pretty much.
In keyboard settings, you can look at a preview of the layout you have configured. It's in the menu on the right of each keyboard entry in the list.
What keyboard layout are you using? It might be set as default there. Those extra levels change the keys on your keyboard to produce extra symbols, like shift+a produces A, shift3+a might produce å (as it does on my keyboard layout).
Open System Settings, Keyboard, Key Bindings (top right button), turn off “Key to choose the 3rd level -> Right Alt”
The first one is the “new features in this OS release” from Tips and the rest are one for each app that adds extensions and that you can manage them in Settings.
If Google is the only thing holding up the non-Apple web browsers, maybe then this will lead to scaling down the insane scope of the web standards so it becomes reasonable to implement and maintain a browser for non-megacorps.
Wishful thinking, but hey.
1366x768? Where are they supposed to fit all that whitespace at such a small resolution?
Have you actually hit enough "Memory Pressure" (as it is called in Activity Monitor)? Macs dynamically allocate swap.
You don’t need a tunnel since your server is already accessible by the VPS over IPv6 (and you have to deal with changing prefix for the direct connection from other hosts already).
Yeah, hence why I said “pretty much”.
the NC is rarely available or only for a few seconds which screws my automatic backup of photos. This is annoying. I think it is because there are two conflicting routes to the NC, one via the internal IPv4 and the other over the publicly available IPv6.
Sounds unlikely tbh. A TCP connection is established for a specific target address which stays the same for the duration of that connection, and there is pretty much no interaction between IPv4 and IPv6 in the first place. Have you run Wireshaek? Is it the same problem from other clients in the network? Have you tried explicitly connecting to the IPv6 address and the IPv4 address to see if it’s a specific one that’s not working?
But it actually doesnt. Most public wifis or other residential networks dont seem to give me external access to my Nextcloud, ironically, my mobile network via phone does.
A lot of those networks are run by boomers who don’t care about IPv6 or don’t want to set it up because (insert excuse from IPv6 Bingo) or non-tech people whose router doesn’t turn it on automatically. So yeah, that is unfortunately something you have to expect and work around.
Problem 1 seems to be best solved with renting the cheapest VPS I can find and then...build a permanent SSH tunnel to it? Use the WireGuard VPN of my router? Some other kind of tunnel to expose a public IPv4? Iirc, VPS are billed by throughput, I am not sure if I might run into problems here, but the only people that use it are my gf and me, and when not at home, mostly for the CalDAV stuff.
You don’t even need a tunnel. Just a proxy on a VPS that runs on IPv4 and connects to the IPv6 upstream. Set the AAAA record to the real host and the A record to the VPS. Assuming you actually get a static prefix which you should, but some IPv4-brained ISPs don’t and you get a rotating prefix, in which case it’s probably more annoying.
I do this too, mine runs on a free Oracle Cloud ARM VPS.
I’ve been using Linux for maybe 8 years before getting a Mac and found it to be great to use pretty much immediately. So there’s not really much I can tell you here. Except maybe to install the GNU coreutils from homebrew (and that itself if you don’t have it yet), the ones it comes with suck.
I don’t think there is a way to download Xcode without an Apple ID. The App Store also needs one though you could get by without that. You could just make the account only for downloading Xcode and only sign in in the browser for it, I suppose.
Edit: Oh yeah, get Mac Mouse Fix if you plan on using it with a normal mouse. The standard scrolling behavior is abysmal.
Can confirm it is terrible. I bought a pack from Amazon and both of them have terrible DAC artifact noises. Should have gone with the Apple one.
You can use Freeform as a basic image editor on iOS
I wanted something like GIMP for iOS with which I can stitch together/overlay/crop images, add text, blank out parts, draw on the image, and so on. Nothing in the app store looked appealing, most of what I could find seems to be geared towards photo post processing, so I had the idea of trying Freeform for this, because well, it lets you place various objects on a canvas. And it works pretty well!
Create a new board with the image inside, set it to no rounded corners and no shadow, and then do whatever you want to it with Freeform’s tools.
Then, when you’re done, select Export to PDF and convert it to an image. You can use this share sheet shortcut which I made which makes an image out of it and also cuts away the white frame it generates around the PDF: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fa5e2386588742b2a1f5d41401f2238e
There you go, straight forward basic image editing with a free stock app.
It unfortunately doesn’t preserve the original resolution of the image but it’s definitely good enough for me.
Is there a Git repository activity aggregator, like GitHub's user activity but platform independent?
I'm looking for something like GitHub's user activity indicator that gathers information from a list of git repositories regardless of where they are hosted (as long as they are public), that I can put on my webpage, kind of as a thing to show what I'm working on at the moment.
Is this a thing that already exists? I'd started writing one a while ago but instead of reviving that it would be great if there's something that already exists and I can just use :\^)

Linux doesn't serve birth time attribute over NFS
According to this Phoronix article, Linux should support the birth time attribute in the NFS server since 5.18. However, it doesn't show up in the stat output when looking at the file through the NFS mount, or elsewhere (at least, the Dolphin file browser and also a macOS client):
% stat file File: file Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file Device: 0,70 Inode: 103416894 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ saiko) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Modify: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Change: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Birth: -
What gives? Running stat on the server directly, it shows the attribute. The backing file system is ext4, kernel 6.5.12. The client is using kernel 6.1.63.
