jack,

Get into the “variety is good” mindset. Having options is always better than not having options, even if it feels overwhelming at first. It’ll get easier with time

Ok boomer

jack,

Now imagine the new COSMIC desktop environment in Rust on Redox, that would be great

jack,

So?

I want the newest, best software. Is that uncommon? Modern rewrites are often much better than their age-old counterparts since the tech got better over time, compare for example grep vs ripgrep, or find vs fd. The rewrites are much faster and user-friendlier

jack,

It’s perfectly fine to just make a zip available

jack,

Odysee is better than a youtube frontend

Open-minded people can get into linux. You also have to be open-minded to consider being trans. My take is that linux and being trans are not directly influencing each other, but both increase your open-mindedness separately which in turn drives you towards more open topics generally

jack,

Cuck?

jack,

Just don’t use anything proprietary like Sync or Connect

jack,

I’m very interested in the secrets storage. Hopefully that includes integrating programs with GNOME Secrets, especially firefox

Our monthly jerkoff to Linux numbers

jack,

Welcome to the circlejerk thread

jack,

Dependencies are deduplicated/reused (no bloat) and there are no and won’t be any dependency issues

jack,

Fair enough.

jack,

I haven’t tried Ubuntu yet myself, but generally I’m turned off by some decisions Canonical makes, especially the whole Snap thing adding complexity, slow app startup and proprietary store. Not very trustworthy.

But you are right, Ubuntu is the most popular and things like eduroam will likely work.

jack,

What does that even mean? Give us some practical advice

jack,

Better not use it at all

jack,

Torrent via I2P instead

jack, (edited )

I2P is a truly anonymous darknet where every user is a node in the network, unlike TOR where everyone is leeching off of the 6000 nodes. I2P also works great for torrenting. I2P is only for accessing I2P sites and not for anonymous clearnet browsing.

I have never tried the mobile version, but here’s some info for desktop:

There is a java version simply called “I2P” and there is a C++ one called “I2Pd”. Start with the java one, it’s easier and has built-in torrent webclient.

Install I2P from geti2p.net and start it. You are now a node/router in the network. To access I2P darknet websites like http://planet.i2p you have to tell your browser to use I2P proxy. You should use a different browser profile for using I2P, on firefox you can create one at about:profiles .

Enable I2P on firefox: Settings -> General -> Network Settings. Set manual http and https proxy to 127.0.0.1 port 4444 . You should now be able to visit eepsites (sites ending with .i2p). Always put http:// manually at the beginning. If it tells you to use jump services because it can’t find the site, just click on one of the suggestions.

Torrents are on http://tracker2.postman.i2p . Find one, copy the magnet link and go to the torrent webclient: 127.0.0.1:7657/i2psnark . Add the torrent there. Done, you are now anonymously torrenting.

The NYC subway banned dogs on trains unless they fit into a small bag, so this guy trained his Pitbull to sit in a small bag

jack,

Yes, your right
