Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

MigratingtoLemmy,

That is peak GNU/Linux. Or maybe even non-GNU/Linux

MigratingtoLemmy,

What do you use for automated manga downloads? I’ll probably have to stick with FMD2, but development seems to be a bit slow

Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....

MigratingtoLemmy,

Anybody with experience with Cagebreak? I like ratpoison but maybe not having to port a lot of configuration by hand would be nice

MigratingtoLemmy,

Cheap casio because I definitely do not want a mobile on my wrist. Too distracting already

I don’t think so. AFAIK there is no native method to caption images in markdown, which is what this editor uses. People try to bring about this effect by italicising the part they would want as a caption right underneath the image. However, in your case, I see a [You’ve done well] banner underneath the image, which I assume is the caption you meant. Not sure how that happened but if that works, great!

*some text* = some text

MigratingtoLemmy, (edited )

Hmm, I’m on my computer now and I can’t see the image for some reason.

Edit: sorry, just my browser. But why do I see two [You’ve done well]s?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Your reply to your comment above is better: just one italicised caption makes it easy to understand. Great job!

MigratingtoLemmy,

I can’t even get that page to load without a lot of JS allowed. I guess I’m not going to get my score anytime soon.

Is it better to use a non-FOSS email and phone number forwarder or to use one of each for everything? (www.cloaked.app)

I like to try websites out before tying my identity to them. How do you do it? Simplelogin? I honestly won’t manually make a new gmail for every new website I try and I to want the option to see what emails I get.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I would be OK doing that if they didn’t link to my debit card in the free plan (last time I checked)

MigratingtoLemmy,

They link to one’s credit card in the premium plan. That’s what I would have wanted to see becoming universal in their services, but unfortunately that’s behind a paywall

MigratingtoLemmy,

My apologies, I thought privacy.com supported credit cards, but apparently they don’t, even in the premium tier. Indeed, I would like virtual cards for my credit card, since I’m never going to buy anything with my debit card anyway. I wish the other banks had something like Capital One

MigratingtoLemmy,

From what I understand of PKI and the way the Internet is right now, trust in identity would be very hard to build if clients engage in PKI.

But taking encryption into one’s hands basically brings back control into one’s hands. You do not specifically need an encrypted connection in such a case, just a tamper-proof connection.

MigratingtoLemmy,

You are right. I didn’t think about it like so before. I could point at I2P and TOR but I don’t think that’s foolproof either, neither do I know enough to be able to comment. Is there no way out?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Wait, if the EU is in favour of secure encryption, then who is opposing it in the EU? I haven’t heard of encryption being broken in America

MigratingtoLemmy,

Wow, that’s amazing!

MigratingtoLemmy,

Thanks for the list. I live in the US but I’ll keep this in mind

MigratingtoLemmy,

Hey OP, any reason you’re not using Pipewire?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Could you take a look at deepl.com’s API? It’s supposed to be better than Google translate for European languages
