AntennaPod. The developers seem to have kept it to a very simple remit of just doing podcasts and doing it well.

PfSense and OPNsense are both killer router "out of the box" distros built on BSD. I say this as a Linux user, with little interest in running BSD for my applications, but... Respect to BSD. ✊

Interesting. I've been using ".home.arpa" for a while now, since that's one of the other often used ways.

The spherical cow and the ephemeral dog share the same father.

Ooh. I did not know about vscodium! I've removed vscode and installed it on my Mac. Thanks.

ZFS kicks arse. It's worth learning enough to get a basic array going, with a couple of datasets and encryption. Once you get acquainted with that, you'll be using it for years to come.

Wow. I've been using dd for years and I'd consider myself on the more experienced end of the Linux user base. I'll use cp from now on. Great link.

I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.

Hmm. I wouldn't risk it, personally. I bet the data that syncs can be quite specific. Have you looked for an extension that can just do tab syncing?

I clicked on the thread to mention this excellent Tim & Eric side project. Anyone who likes silliness and hasn't seen it yet needs to crank up a torrent.

Nice. Thanks 👍

You could (carefully) run a dd command to blast the partition data off the drive, in Linux or any Unix based system.

Let's say your drive was recognised as /dev/sdc when you plugged it in.

First, make sure it's unmounted:

1. sudo umount /dev/sdc

Then blast a gigabyte of zeros over the partition information:

2. sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1G count=1

The partition information is usually stored on the very first couple of megabytes on the drive, so blasting a gig's worth of zeros linearly onto it should make it show up as an empty device next time you unplug and plug it in.

Yeah. I've no need to change to anything else. pf/OPNsense 4life.

That's how I've got mine set up, with OPNsense.

I've been using it a few years and I only know about half the stuff that pfSense/OPNsense can do. So I would advise newbies to just make small changes at a time because there's a whole lot of stuff you can change. It's worth learning, though. I wouldn't use anything else for my main firewall/router nowadays.

I heard about it when it was mentioned on the Trillbilly podcast, about two years ago. Which is quite an obscure way to hear about a project by Tim and Eric. So, yes, it's not too well known.

A centaur has four legs and a horse has four legs, so half a centaur and half a horse would have four legs.

I use a Topping DX1 DAC with Fedora for sending sound to my soundbar. It's great.

Some good answers here. Thanks.

Peter Cook did this joke with infinitely more panache about 30 years ago. Search YouTube for "Peter Cook Clive Anderson talks back".

This is why I love having luks covering my entire system disk. If I want to upgrade the system with a new drive or move the drive to a different pc or sell it or dispose of it I just dd the first couple of gigs to obliterate the luks header.

It's obviously essential to have a backup strategy, of course, but full disk encryption is the only way to go for me.

How would the update affect stuff like a GoCryptFS volume which I mount and use periodically but not all the time? Would those files be processed much faster than previously?

Yeah. I don't know of an extension. I think you could create an extra Firefox profile and run two versions of Firefox (home and work) at once on the home PC. That might be a compromise that works?

Isn't it quite common to have /boot on an unencrypted partition?

And the ASRock Deskmini range. I'm currently using one with an older Kaby Lake i7 as my Docker host.

Use an old Pi 3B for running zigbee2mqtt on docker.

I used to run just the Linux version of it but decided to install docker on the Pi so it's as easy as doing docker-compose pull to update it.

This is so I can control my various lights and switches using Home Assistant.

Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?
