DuckDuckGo is an alright default but sometimes I just need that better, more tailored search from Google.

Nowadays I often use AI for questions though. It gives better results and a more comfortable way.

You forgot the most important one

• !aw for Arch Wiki

But for new code/drivers

That’s pretty cool. Sometimes in an argument there’s that (1/-1) thing going on, would be funny to see how both are downvoting each other.

Yes, I was thinking that I haven’t heard of Amazon giving in to using epub natively, without converting to mobi/azw/kfx

I’ve never had any reason to connect either. It would just try installing updates that make the UI shittier.

You used epub files with a Kindle, didn’t convert them or anything? I had no idea Kindles supported epubs, I know someone said they do jecause they emailed the files to their Kindle, but that was Amazon first converting them. I’m just finding Reddit threads saying epubs aren’t supported.

I’ve recently started using it and it’s really nice. Does excellent job at aggregating my rss feeds, has some nice integrations (I use Readeck for read-it-later). Website is simple but nice, works really well on PC and mobile.

On Wikipedia it says the servers are open source but spam prevention is proprietary.

When I was researching reverse proxies I first stumbled upon nginx and traefik and especially nginx seemed a bit intimidating. As someone who hadn’t done it before I was worried if I’d do it right. Then I found caddy and yeah just used a threeliner like that in config and that was that. Simple and easy to get it right.

I’ve since switched to having my stuff behind wireguard instead of reverse proxy, but I keep caddy around so I can just spin it back up if I want to access Jellyfin on someone’s tv or something.

Caddy is really simple and easy. Just werks and gives you https

You shouldn’t strive to profit off doing things you enjoy

Sounds like a win-win to me

Or just ssh. Personally I’d set up a remote desktop in addition to that

The common theme with us and the complaint from Linus is openSUSE. Dunno why these groups aren’t set up as default on Tumbleweed, maybe some old and dusty security policy. This case seems to be some polkit nonsense going on, dunno why this is the default. But this is the sort of stuff a user without root password might bump into that would cause them pain.

NetworkManager as integrated in Gnome

Uhhuh. Dunno why you brought up Gnome when it doesn’t seem to be at all relevant

Friend, that’s KDE lol.

Friend, this is from my own system I’m running right now lol.

Surprising amount of stuff requires root (or used to). It reminds me of this glorious rant from Linus from his less domesticated times (that he made on Google Plus hah). https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/linus-to-opensuse-devs-kill-yourself-now.30414/

The highlight:

So here’s a plea: if you have anything to do with security in a distro, and think that my kids (replace “my kids” with “sales people on the road” if you think your main customers are businesses) need to have the root password to access some wireless network, or to be able to print out a paper, or to change the date-and-time settings, please just kill yourself now. The world will be a better place.

Oof.

Might end up in dumb annoying situations like setting up wifi requiring root and such
