I assume you want disk encryption on Windows which is why you haven’t turned off bitlocker and disabled it in BIOS. I’m not familiar with whole disk encryption on Windows but Linux has many options.

If you’re going to dual boot I would recommend a separate boot partition for GRUB/boot manager that points to the windows boot partition because Windows likes to mess up a shared boot partition.

bulwark,

Kagi.com is one of the best services I pay for. I know paying for Internet search seems outrageous because we’ve been accustom to our data being the payment, but I think it’s worth it. The search feature and added stuff really make it very functional plus the no adds or SEO type sites is bonus.

bulwark,

I do. Did you find better results on Google? I’ve used DDG, yandex, qwant, and brave search engine but I really like the add free results and I understand something has to pay for the servers.

Just moved to Linux: a follow up

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

bulwark,

I’ve messed up my system so many times over the years that now I think I secretly get excited when it accidentally happens. Maybe I’m a masochist, but I actually enjoy trying to understand what went wrong. A USB stick with a light weight Linux distro and chroot you can usually get back in there and look around at the damage.

bulwark,

As someone who’s exclusively used tiling WM for the past few years you can do anything a full blown DE. I like them for a couple of reasons:

  1. they don’t come with any extra software that I will never use.
  2. They’re light weight with minimal overhead
  3. They are extremely customizable, key bindings are second nature for me know.

I do use the terminal for a lot of things, but I also use the GUI for lots of stuff like web browsing, graphic editing, and gaming.

bulwark,

Heh, I’ve got 32gb on my Proxmox box, and would be lying if I said I wasn’t eyeballing a few 64 or 128 sticks.

bulwark,

I know your looking for torrents, but have you tried going down the nzb rabbit hole?

Found this Google docs PDF that’s a pretty good read on it. Keep in mind it’s 5yrs old so some of the recommended indexers and services might have gone off line, but the general info is still true.

*Edit, I know I’m breaking the first rule of Usenet!

why is it so difficult select text from posts?

Good morning, English isn’t my first language and it happens quie often that I need to select a good chunk of text to translate it with DeepL, why, in often cases, is impossible but select the title of an article that Lemmy’s bot has summarised? I would appreciate, and I am pretty confident I am not the only one, if the...

bulwark,

I always get nervous when my personal computer tells me this. I’m like reported to who, sudo?!?

bulwark,

I love caving videos as well but would absolutely not do it. I like these guys videos: ActionAdventureTwins

This video is wild, they drop down like a 600’ pit in a cave. youtu.be/eULp72P0pNM?si=mi6Wc3_aMBC7Xrdy

bulwark,

If we launched a rocket at them with our garbage, or maybe our political leaders.

bulwark,

There’s a pretty good video on YouTube that details it’s failure. The Russians also had something similar and I think they where more successful at it. youtu.be/pW0eZRoQ86g?si=4JCqtCmS1mMLDOve

bulwark,

I haven’t used Google search in years. Their monopoly on the Internet is really trash.

bulwark,

Kagi. It’s a subscription but it has a lot of good features and no advertised.

bulwark,

I would say if anything MPV player can play more types of video than VLC.

bulwark,

I bounce around a lot, mainly between Qtile and Awesome WM because I like how it handles multiple monitors. You should check it out, there’s loads of premade configs on GitHub.

bulwark,

I think you brought up a good point in that Microsoft conditions people to expect a certain behavior from their PC. Some of that is ease of use at there expense of privacy, forced unavoidable updates, and individual software solutions that handles their respective updates.

bulwark,

I like cooking with cumin but it smells like B.O. to me. It tastes fine tho.
