I self-identify as an nblob, a non-binary little object.
Anna's Archive, Libgen, Mobilism, IRC (I use a self-hosted service called OpenBooks for this). I use Calibre for metadata sorting, plug Kindle in and move books that way and keep it on airplane mode.
Also, new Kindle jailbreak for <= 5.16.2.1.1 if anyone's interested. Managed to get KoReader on my 10th Gen Basic.
I bet for the owners of public instances, it must be a constant fight against YouTube's IP banning or rate limiting.
If you have the resources, you could self-host your own private instance for you and your friends or family. I haven't had performance issue with my private instance so far.
SSH into my PC, from there pretty much anything is possible. Neovim works pretty well.
Tech involves objective facts, scientific reasoning, and logic
Maybe the making of tech is, but its application and relevance in modern society is, at the end of the day, a sociological phenomenon.
Not specifically about podcasts, but I think there's a minority (?) of privacy/security enthusiasts who are pretty overtly right-wing libertarians, often because those technologies are anti-establishment. Think Luke Smith. I've also met people in the tech sphere (both on the I love Big Tech as well as FOSS side) who have very traditionalist, borderline right-wing opinions.
Damn they're making todo lists a subscription service now??
To answer the question: anything that provides a CALDAV backend (e.g. Nextcloud, Etesync, Radicale). Some are free with limited storage, but some are subscription based, but you get calendar, storage, other stuff too. You can additionally self-host a CALDAV server or Nextcloud to use these services gratuit. For a more minimal implentation, try plain text, markdown, orgmode, etc., and use Syncthing to sync between devices.
Yeah I agree. To be clear, if you take the reverse of my statement, i.e. if you're on Windows, you shouldn't use Tor, then I would be gatekeeping.
But I'm not implying that, but rather the reverse. I'm saying if you have use Tor for whatever reasons to bypass censorship, do illegal stuff and avoid being tracked, you should at least be aware that at the kernel level, how you're accessing the internet has already been compromised by Microsoft, and consider alternatives OSes
Of course I'd still want people running Windows to be able to use Tor, and also I'd say leaving Windows isn't something you would only do at the "highest threat model".
Privacy will almost always be a trade-off with convenience, I'm pushing the awareness to get people to act, should they choose to. That's all.
They can't even make it consistent. The border radius on the tabs, the URL bar, and the main page are all different.
Wezterm for me, I like the multiplexer that comes with it.
I didn't have ads either but being able to use KoReader is a good enough motivation for me.
Overall there are a lot of steps to it, if you're comfortable with your current setup it's not worth the hassle/time.
So while governments can bailout big companies that are able to serve their greater interests, medical companies with cases like this and the bionic-eye one slip away without any kind of intervention?
We have multi-million-dollar VC funds for an app and this shit is allowed to happen.
What about Foliate?
Interesting, I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy, is this one open source?
Mobilism most of the time and also Telegram channels from modder groups.
If it's all URLs, you can look here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#bookmarks-and-link-sharing. I use linkding myself and save everything I want to look at later, avoiding the need to "save" or "pin" posts. Other solutions can also offer offline caching locally too.
Monitoring. Try out Prometheus/InfluxDB and Grafana, throw Loki in there too... It'll keep you busy for a few days to a week at least.
I did all of that and I just use Netdata now.
+1 for Calibre (VNC or otherwise) and additionally Calibre-web if you want a nice frontend.
Agree with your analysis, just pointing out that Phoronix forums have always been like this, or at least the tendency is to insult each other. Their culture is more toxic than any other Linux forums I've seen, maybe besides /g/.
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
But anything that requires configuration...should have a fully functional GUI.
Does this apply to ones with only 4 or 5 options to configure, where's the cutoff? Configuration files set the default flags and arguments, and a lot of command line tools that are configurable are small and simple enough that making a GUI just to configure it is not worth the hassle, the increased complexity and codebase size. The idea is that if the software is one or a few executable binar(ies) with enough flexibility, then contributors who's proficient with GUI toolkits can write the GUI wrapper (as a separate package), otherwise it's actually just a waste of time for the main dev(s). If that sounds reasonable, then you could write it yourself, pay someone to do it, or wait for someone to volunteer their time.
To address the problem itself. Maybe you should explain what problems you have with editing the configuration files yourself? I know the cons are: (1) having to know or be able to read toml, yaml, json, ini, or some kind of config syntax (but I think they are designed to be generally quite easy to understand), (2) it takes a bit longer to find and open if you're not used to it, (3) everything is a file so it's linear, making it harder to see where things are, so longer configs are a PITA. Good tools I think benefit from a GUI or TUI is TLP, archive managers, calculators, volume controllers, font manager or viewer (kinda obvious), why would you want a GUI to configure, e.g., bat, pacman, i3, dunst, all the xorg stuff like xresources, xmodmap??
In return, the pros are: (1) if there are no external docs, the docs can stay inside the default or sample configuration in the form of comments, whereas for GUI you can't possible include this information for every single toggle, (2) it's harder to version control because of increased abstraction, (3) it's not possible to translate every configuration field to a GUI if it's beyond just a toggle, you would still have to type things in.
I think having an extra GUI wrapper is a matter of complex balance, and made into reality by contributors and volunteers (or eventually, the devs themselves). To say everything should have a FULLY functional GUI if you have to configure it is a bit of an exaggeration and overreach.
Calibre to manage your library, and Calibre content server to essentially make it available for other devices.
For web browsing and reading, one can use Calibre-web.
For Android, Librera reader is suitable, IIRC, on the Pro version, which you can download for free from Github, you can use Calibre as an OPDS and download books from your Calibre directly on the app.

I stopped using Paperless-NGX for this reason. It eats RAM and CPU insanely even after configuring it to stop doing OCR and no ML. I wish there is a Go alternative.
Do you mean sandboxing? Isn't this just Firefox's project Fission, which is already implemented?
This might be an issue with opensearch.xml, which is a standard for how browsers recognise search engines.
See here:
https://github.com/hnhx/librex/blob/main/opensearch.xml.example
I don't know how you're hosting it, but when I was hosting LibreX, I had to make an opensearch.xml with the correct domain and bind mount it to the correct location. I don't exactly remember the details since I moved to Searxng.
Also, if you're not aware, LibreX was forked to LibreY, which is the updated repo.
Slay the Spire comes to mind.
Please look up what you're using next time, and keep in mind that on Linux, a lot of GUI tools for hardware config are community made, so you're lucky someone already tried to make something for the streamdeck. With the exception of big software backed up by an organisation, most utilities started by one or two devs start small and are not perfect, but will get better over time as PRs and maintainers come in, so you also have to be patient and work with what you're offered, or submit PRs yourself to improve it. If that's something you can't do because of time or whatever, then in the long run Linux isn't for you yet.
Documentation for the streamdeck
Tip: when looking up a software for Linux, append Reddit at the end, like "streamdeck Linux Reddit", plenty of people have already discussed this exact software and some others. Hope you find the tools you need.
Thanks for the prompt fixes
Agreed. I thought of ISP restrictions too, but I would say if where you live places a level of censorship due to political reasons or otherwise and you need to access it for whatever reasons so you need Tor then by all means Microsoft is not your friend since they're a privacy nightmare.
There are also VPNs for banned media, I typically wouldn't want to use Tor for anything more than textual content as it puts too much load on the Tor network.
What about LocalSend? I don't think it does encryption though, but it is quite lightweight.
uBlock origin and CanvasBlocker/JShelter are probably enough. There's also uMatrix, which gives you more granular control over what to block or allow.
Well guess I'll add one more to my three a day.
Consider refurbished or second hand, please don't buy a brand new laptop as there is so much waste in the world already. If you buy from big brands, you might be able to buy replacement batteries. If not, install Linux and use TLP. You could also ask the seller to measure the battery life. I was patient and managed to score a used ThinkPad and the battery health was 98% when I bought it.
Most services have installation for Docker. I started from knowing nothing about this stuff (albeit quite tech-savvy) and I would say my favorite route is with Docker compose. Don't bother with tutorial videos or courses, this isn't a theory-based activity but rather a practical one. For simple services (I'll come back to this in a bit), you want to skim through the documentation and look for the keywords "Docker" or "compose". Copy the file content as needed and fill in the gaps with the details as you personalize the service. Learn how to convert Docker run commands to compose. Use issue trackers, this community, the old reddit community to look for similar setup and inspirations.
Now, you want to self-host Firefly, Immich, etc. These, as far as I know, all have good docs and a compose file. Immich is a bit more involved. And a lot of them use big separate databases. Database administration is a bit scary, but hopefully, you won't need to manually intervene or fix a broken database until you are better adapted to the world of self-hosting. Run backups, and do what I should have done: test run services before using it in production. Let's say you want to run Immich. Start it up, and upload a few test files, and try to use all the functionalities. If it breaks, you don't lose anything and can run the real thing when you're confident it's what you want.
That is pretty big news, it's been many many years since I've run 3rd party launchers because I can't stand the janky animations and transitions. I hope this behaviour remains when it gets out of beta and also hope to see it on GrapheneOS.
Nope, seems like an issue for a lot of people, including me.
Reminds me of MusicBee, good ol' days.
Because of better accessibility. How so?
Because not everyone has the money to afford these new and expensive laptops designed for a niche market. They are still enthusiast-grade products, the prices speak for themselves.
Because not everyone comes from Europe / the US, so it's not easy to find these with affordable shipping.
Because these laptops are only normally offered new, which, for responsible and personal ownership, is excessive. There are thousands of used hardware lying around, why not put some life back into them instead?
It comes down to price, availability and ethical concerns. Unless money doesn't mean anything to you, why do you need a $1000 laptop when someone wants a device for higher education or personal casual use? The world doesn't need more rampant marketing of niche, hyped-up tech. While a fully-FOSS system may be the ideal machine for every Linux enthusiast, we live in a material world with finite resources and chasing after some unicorn laptop is unsustainable.
