Notesnook notebook with whatever info I need to be able to administrate the system. e.g. what different ports are used for and why the firewall policies are what they are, sometimes write-ups after a troubleshooting session, etc.
The Notesnook instance is self-hosted too, but if the server goes down, the notebook will still be available locally.
Had no idea Qt had 3D rendering… GUI designers get more creative. Let’s see a 3D email client.
Is there any evidence that they would go after random FOSS projects that aren’t hosted or developed in the relevant jurisdictions? Don’t comply in advance.
Signal is fine for normal/social chatting. It is centralised which makes it much harder to obscure identifying conversation metadata, and I wouldn’t recommend it for comms with a state threat model. I like SimpleX for addressing those issues.
If you just want to chat to friends and nothing else, I probably would recommend Signal for the most polished experience and most widely adopted open-source private messenger.
Conversations move through different topics.
The origin of inefficiency as resistance comes from people in concentration camps deliberately doing poor jobs at forced labour as a form of resistance. If you’re posting on Lemmy right now you can do a lot more than inefficiency. The people who had to resort to inefficient slave labour as resistance could only dream of what you can do.
I’ve scanned a book with my phone and uploaded to Z-Library before when it was a book I couldn’t find online at all. Not a great quality pdf, but as someone who wanted to read the book for research and ended up having to buy a paper copy, I would’ve still preferred that pdf to nothing; it was still perfectly readable.
Like another commenter said, to get a good-quality pdf you’d have to take the spine off. Also note that it is really time-consuming and tedious to scan a book by hand (I assume there are machines that can automate it, but normal people don’t have those). Big respect to people who do it regularly, but you may not want to be one of those people.
Anna’s doesn’t take uploads. They just redistribute files uploaded to other platforms.
Most people who build software from source do it for reasons other than trust. Could be for fun (I imagine the main reason why people do Linux From Scratch), could be for the same reason that compels some people to use Gentoo lol. OP didn’t say what their motivation was.
edit: nvm, in other comments OP has said they’re concerned about an xz style of backdoor. In any case, I would still be interested to read about someone trying what OP is suggesting.
Omg I never knew about ctrl+L. Life saver. I have no idea why Linux file pickers/file browsers don’t seem to have an editable (and copy-pasteable) path field.
Not anything concrete. Windows is kind of nostalgic for me as I only used it as a young child. But there’s not a specific “I wish X was on Linux”.
Do you live in a city? If you do, there is something of the sort in most cities; you just need to know the right people or look in the right places.
If not, yeah, rough, you could try travelling in to a city though.
Before anyone says anything, no my city is not huge, no I am not in the US. The political left is active pretty much everywhere on earth, sometimes more or less underground depending on the conditions, but they’ll have some sort of spaces for themselves.
I use Notesnook and I’m happy with it. They have a flagship instance with free accounts if you don’t want to self-host.
If you want something more lightweight and are up for using syncthing, just a bunch of markdown files synced with syncthing also works. You can encrypt them with your pgp key if you want encryption, but that doesn’t encrypt metadata like file names, directory structure, or when files were last edited.
I’ve found scans of books I’ve done myself on their search :)
That’s concerning. If it was “I generated a function with an LLM and reviewed it myself” I’d be much less concerned, but 14k added lines and 10k removed lines is crazy. We already know that LLMs don’t generate up to scratch code quality…
I won’t use PostgreSQL with ntfy, and keep an eye on it to see if they continue down this path for other parts of ntfy. If so I’ll have to switch to another UP provider.
In my own experience, runit is much faster to boot than systemd. Perhaps your experiences differ but I know a lot of people say the same.
I agree start-up time is not a big deal. I just mentioned it as it’s the only real performance difference I’ve noticed between OSes.
I don’t think Arch is the distro I would go for if I just wanted speed. I suppose it depends on speed of what—generally systemd Linux will boot noticeably faster than Windows, and non-systemd Linux boots noticeably faster than systemd Linux—but once you’re booted up, I don’t think there’s a significant performance difference. Arch is a Linux distro that uses systemd so it’d be the middle option if you’re wanting fast boots. There are other minimalist distros too, some of which end up in arguably faster systems, but Arch is probably the easiest of the minimalist distros due to being well-documented and supported. But the reason for going for a minimalist distro is usually customisability, not performance. On modern hardware the performance difference is negligible. On very old hardware, you should be looking for another distro made specifically for old hardware (I don’t think Arch even supports 32-bit).
There are different server implementations. I run tuwunel and haven’t had problems. It seems about as performant on my VPS (8GB RAM, 4 CPUs at 2.4 GHz, hosting other services not just tuwunel) as matrix.org was when I used that.
It’s great to see a mainstream OEM work with GOS. I really hope Motorola will make phones with an actual headphone jack. That’s my no. 1 complaint about modern Pixel hardware.
If you haven’t already, I recommend Watchtower (nickfedor fork—the original is unmaintained) which automatically pulls updates to Docker containers and restarts them. Make sure to track latest, although for security updates, these should be backported to any supported versions so it’s fine to track an older supported version too.
