I would also add Brodie to the list, and I follow 7 of them. I have kinda tried to steer clear of DT because I’m not a fan of some of his off-topic videos. There are 2 I don’t follow: Veronica Explains (I was going to check her channel out, but forgot) and Gardiner Bryant (this is literally the first time I’m seeing or hearing about this guy, so I will go check him out)
I’ve been trying harder to diversify my youtube content. Please share links to visible minority (from a western pov) creators who post similar content. Why are there so few?
One that I watch that wasn’t mentioned yet is Switched to Linux. It’s good for Linux information especially when it comes to focusing on privacy and security, but just a fair warning knowing the general Lemmy community, he does like to talk about things like politics in some of his videos (especially his Weekly News Roundups) and he’s a conservative Christian, so if that is a problem for you, you may not enjoy the channel much. When he sticks to purely Linux content his information is good, though.
I love Joplin, but for this write up, I think I would have reworded the sub titles to be less click-baity.
“8 Joplin Superpowers to Boost Your Note-Taking Experience”
“Create a Notebook”
Okay… Not exactly “super powers!” If you’re literally talking about some of the most basic functionality of the app. The end of the article does get into customizing it with plugins, etc so that’s good.
I’m using it daily but would be open to alternatives (markdown notes that can be synchronised locally between desktop and mobile) since their search (even after recently finding out that Ctrl-P is miles better) is just a desaster.
What I’d want is to do Ctrl-F anywhere to search everything, then get a list of results, click on an entry and get to the line in the note where the searched phrase is, having it highlighted.
Instead you have to click on “All notebooks” on the top left, search, which returns all the notes that have the phrase, click on one of them, search again and hope that it was the correct notebook or try the next one
Ctrl-P does what I want but it’s not highlighting the result which is just a minor inconvenience.
I use Qownnotes with syncthing syncing my notes folder to my phone. I use this notes app on mobile because it is the only one I could find that can access my sd card.
Yeah, tried that a few days ago and gave up on it after trying change the date format to something that wasn’t in their (horribly designed UX wise) options which basically mangled the whole thing. It sounds like a really cool system but I think I’ll wait a few years.
This is one of the reasons why I am very unsure about the whole archinstall thing. On the one hand, it lowers the barrier of entry for less techy people, which is always good. On the other hand, it allows for installing the OS without ever having to use the archwiki, which leads to people making a blog post like this that could be solved by looking for “bluetooth” in the archwiki and following the instructions. To somebody not familiar with the OS, this makes it seem like arch is much more complicated than it actually is. “To run arch, you have to hope that there is a blog post or youtube video for simple things like bluetooth!”
No, you simply go here: wiki.archlinux.org(Also very useful resource if you are on any other distro btw)
What on Earth for. I don’t think I’ve used it more than a couple of times over the last 5 years, and that was for arcane stuff like enabling rc.local (which is something every user should probably not know about…)
Plex, CUPS (printing services), Minecraft servers, VPN, file sharing, DHCP/DNS/Wifi, bluetooth are some examples of basic level things systemd can help regular users manage.
Maybe you want to migrate a PostgreSQL database to a newer version without starting PostgreSQL server.
Maybe you installed OpenSSH but don’t want sshd to run yet, because you haven’t hardened the configs.
Maybe you installed Nginx as a part of a migration from Apache httpd, but httpd is already running.
In addition, Arch hardly configures your system in a custom way, too. When you install a package, most of the time, it responds with “here are the files from the developer that you asked for.”
If you don’t like this philosophy, then your feelings are perfectly valid, and this is a textbook example of why different distributions exist 👍
