Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.
You don’t need a vpn with these. Evidence gathered by wiretapping isn’t permissible in court. They need you to send them copyrighted material to sue. At least in the us
I really like gnome and how it looks. However every time I try it I find myself in need of more functionality and so I install a bunch of extensions. For example I can’t live without a dock and some sort of system tray that shows which apps are running in background....
I think both of your statements are correct - lots of innovations are right in front of us, are simple, and that’s the kinda shit scientists love. More kids, but really people of any age, should be given opportunities like this given passion or even a passing curiosity.
I love Fedora. I like it a lot more than Linux mint. More than either, I’ve really enjoyed PopOS. It went from a distro I wasn’t sure about to my favorite really quickly. Highly recommend it.
As title says. Obviously I could setup different virtual machines or spend the time and install all the DEs in one VM if it is even possible without breaking the OS. I’m wondering if there is an already made iso or something that installs all the maintained DEs for trying.
wow. I gotta check out nixos. That is incredible. Do you happen to know if fedora silverbue or any of the other immutable distros do this, or is this something specific to nixos?
Struggling to find a lot of music with Lidarr (New/Recent/Modern). Have a few general public/private trackers set up but still not getting many hits. From what I gather Usenet isn’t much better. And I’m not really confident in transcoding, bit rates, etc… to attempt an interview....
I have Qobuz and Spotify. There are downloaders for stuff you like enough to archive. I’d probably be happy enough if I didn’t go through my old playlists and find that they just randomly delete shit ALL the time. So stuff I really like, I try to download before it’s gone. Nicotine+ like others have said is probably the most complete you can ask for, but quality can be an issue. The best is private trackers but considering that getting into one is like a full time job, at the point you can’t find something you really want, just buy it or something.
I just found out about AppImageLauncher, a package handler for AppImages. It organizes them, creates desktop files for you and handles updates and removal....
Good looking out. I installed this and verified it’s working, but does this automatically start at start up? I can’t seem to get systemctl enable to work on it.
Looking for a specific font called Pragmata Pro. I really like it but it’s kinda pricey. I’m looking for version .825 and above because they included the nerd font glyphs.
the list is just a lot of free fonts, that are already free. fontshub has some paid fonts that you can download for free I think, but I didn’t find anything I was looking for on there. I’m looking specifically for Pragmata Pro. Gintronic would be good as well
I found the same torrents on vstorrents and several comments reporting viruses on the releases. Could be why they were taken down from audioz. I’ts sus cuz I see lots of people showing heuristics of viruses being caught by avs on audioz and being told it’s a false positive, so for them to remove something is pretty sus
From my understanding, Nix is currently reproducible in that you can easily run an install with a script that gets you set up with the packages and configuration that you want, but the announcement is that they can verify the binaries that they ship are faithful to their source, and haven’t been tampered with anywhere in the build pipeline
That is almost word for word would the body of the post says

Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

What is the easiest way to try all the DEs?
As title says. Obviously I could setup different virtual machines or spend the time and install all the DEs in one VM if it is even possible without breaking the OS. I’m wondering if there is an already made iso or something that installs all the maintained DEs for trying.
