redcalcium,

Glad seeing more and more investment in foundational libraries. I guess the world is starting to learn its lesson now.

SingleFile extension can save a web page into a single html file where all media are neatly inlined inside the file. You’ll have to do this manually on each page though, so it’s not ideal for saving the whole website.

If you’re comfortable running commands in terminal, you can use SingleFile CLI to crawl the whole website, e.g.: single-file https://www.wikipedia.org --crawl-links=true --crawl-inner-links-only=true --crawl-max-depth=1 --crawl-rewrite-rule=“^(.*)\?.*$ $1”

Something moves where it shouldn’t? Apply tapes.

Something doesn’t move where it should? Apply WD-40.

Personally, I think your choice of desktop environment have more impact to your day-to-day experience than your distro choice. If you feel at home with windows-like UI, try KDE Plasma. If you like minimalistic mac-like interface, then try Gnome.

If you have a Home Assistant instance, adding a webcam and accessing it from outside of your home network is quite easy: home-assistant.io/…/usb-webcams-and-home-assistan…

Home Assistant is a very useful platform to have around if you have a handful of IoT devices at home.

redcalcium,

Chance that your Ubuntu version already supports OpenVPN and wireguard (check your settings -> network). If so, just download wireguard/OpenVPN config files from mullvad: mullvad.net/account/openvpn-config?platform=linux

Self-hosted VPN that can be accessed via browser extension

Currently I set up Tailscale in my Synology NAS and I can access selfhosted services on my phone using the Android app. I want to use some services in my work PC too but I’m blocked from installing any software. So my question is, is there any solution that allows me to connect to selfhosted VPN via browser extension? (Just...

redcalcium,

Maybe look into deploying a Socks5 proxy (e.g. socks5-server)? Then you can use socks5 browser extensions like FoxyProxy

redcalcium,

Every 10 years, a new abstraction layer will be added to the system. I wonder how an average linux desktop would look like under the hood in 100 years.

redcalcium,

Ew

redcalcium,

On Linux, there is no reason to use 3 characters extension as the max path length is 4096 characters, so I’ll just use the most descriptive filename and extension. I can see the need to use the shortest extension possible on windows though with its limited 256 max path length.

redcalcium,

glibc: 😑🤚

musl: 😌👉 (unless you’re a python programmer)

redcalcium,

It was a death sentence back then, but now I bet those with a threadripper with huge RAM can tank it until it hit ulimit.

Sometimes I use Steam Remote Play to access my personal linux desktop remotely. It’s actually works pretty great and can automatically reduce stream quality to match your current bandwidth. It also has a lot less input latency than VNC or RDP, though it consumes a lot more bandwidth.

redcalcium,

God might got the credit, but the surgeon got the insurance money.

No! If capitalism gone, my 0.0000000001% chance of becoming a billionaire would be gone as well!

Hedgehog’s spine, anteater’s snout: Long-lost mammal rediscovered in Indonesia (www.cnn.com)

Scientists have rediscovered a long-lost species of mammal described as having the spines of a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater and the feet of a mole, in Indonesia’s Cyclops Mountains more than 60 years after it was last recorded....

Kempton’s team survived an earthquake, malaria and even a leech attached to an eyeball during their trip.

Yep, just your average Papua forest exploration experience.

redcalcium,

People behind cgnat is probably less likely to seed and thus less likely to get their IP address logged by these outfits. That’s just my pet theory though, not sure how to confirm it. Anyone ever heard of someone behind cgnat and still got the love letter?

redcalcium,

How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven’t created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

redcalcium,

My desktop crashed three times so far after updating gnome, linux kernel and nvidia driver two days ago. Not sure who’s the culprit, but I’ll blame nvidia by default.

redcalcium,

What’s with the US funding resistance groups only to have those groups turn their back on US when they finally got in power?

redcalcium,

Shenanigan like this was one of the main driving force to push website operators to use https by default. The other driving forces are the computational cost of serving https got significantly cheaper thanks to modern CPU with accelerated cryptography instructions support, and letsencrypt providing free TLS certificate to everyone.

redcalcium,

Before Wikipedia default to https, I remember being surprised seeing ads in a Wikipedia page. I was so disappointed that Wikipedia has stoop so low before eventually realizing my cursed ISP was the real culprit.

After beating one corona, we get treated with another corona.
