100% this. If you self host it you control your own data and can choose to encrypt it as well.

If you want e2ee file storage look at seafile.

If you want e2ee chat go signal if you don’t want to host, matrix if you do want to self host.

Ah! Thank you! I knew it was something I screwed up!

I did verify with lsblk, with a listing before and after plugging in the stick to be absolutely sure.

I also did verify the checksum of the ISO.

I’ll double check SecureBoot, but as I mentioned, the same ISO written to the same stick with Fedora writer did boot in the same machine it wouldn’t boot from with the dd version.

I know it’s something I did or didn’t do to make it work correctly, so this is not me trying to dunk on dd, just trying to understand what I did wrong.

I just tried this the other day and was unable to boot from the USB. Any chance you could shed some light on what I might have screwed up?

The command was:

dd if=fedora.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress

The USB stick was not mounted and the fedora image was verified. The command completed successfully but I couldn’t boot from it. When I used fedora writer to burn the same image to the same USB stick it booted no problem.

Edit: spelling & capitalization

PurelyMail is what I use. It’s been great so far. I’ve been using it for over a year for this exact use case.

I don’t have it available in my extension or desktop app. I just downloaded the latest flatpak, but forgot to check versions in the flatpak and firefox extension

That’s pretty cool. I didn’t know that either. I was just reading more about it and found that you can port keys:

Import key to Bitwarden

Existing SSH keys can be imported into Bitwarden.

Select  SSH key from the navigation menu.

Copy the existing SSH key you wish to import into Bitwarden. Use the Import key from clipboard option. This will automatically paste the SSH key into Bitwarden.

The caveats:

Imported keys must be in OpenSSH or PKCS#8 format

Additionally, at this time, imported SSH keys from Putty are not compatible.

Agree. It’s a windowing behaviour I’ve hated forever. Before jumping to linux I used macOS for a long time and the only thing that made it tolerable was a toolbar app that let me create custom keybindings for splitting windows. When inwent Linux I went gnome initially as it gave pretty close to the same functionality built in with super+arrow keys, but there is some stuff about GNOME that just does not work for me. So for me, Hyprland is great

My preference is the opposite of yours. I just recently set up Hyprland and I love it for the focus on keyboard and the ease of customizing the keybinds.

The other thing I love is the tiling. I almost always have two windows side by side and in every other DE I’ve used (haven’t used cosmic), I always had to faff about to get my windows half and half or into the quarters. So pair that with the keyboard focus and hyprland is the winner for me.

I’ve a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It’s not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.

I feel like by the time Trump and Elon and the project 2025 gang have finished having their way with the government there won’t be any demand for COBOL or FORTRAN. It’ll all have been burned down to the ground.

Edit: Fixed twatboy’s name.

Agree. Make it as easy to read as possible. I learned this particularly after I had written a script that had a lot of nesting. It worked initially, but not for long and when I went back to debug I was like, “What the fuck was I thinking here?”

I ended up completely rewriting it to minimize the nesting and make it much more efficient and readable

That’s fantastic. I’m not using it that deeply yet. I do have other scripts for managing my media files and adding them to my server as I rip music and DVDs. I also am loving learning it and using it.

Thank you!

Oh goodness, this looks incredibly useful. Thank you!

Thank you! I always worry with a one liner that I’ll fuck something up in a bad way. In a script it helps me think about the process since it’s more visually structured, and for me it’s easier to test.

Absolutely. I love it.

Of course! Feel free!! And thank you!

Thanks! I wrote the script in vim too! :D

I’m no vim expert but I do like it.

Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I’m loving it.
