We are in the mess that we are because less than 50% people vote in the first place.

Even if 90% people vote, if they only have choice between a turd or a piece of shit, that’s not really a choice 🫠

I just recently learned about azireVPN.

Any thoughts?

Azire looks great ! I’m interested on why you choose azire over protonVPN?

Maybe all package managers default to libtorrent 2.0.X, but that’s not true when downloading from the website.

Maybe you are a windows user?

Close enough… Got MacOS, Windows and EndeavourOS and there’s also an appimage available on their site so it’s not only because you’re a “Windows user”.

If only it would be that easy… First hurdle there is no “enable i2p on qbittorrent” ! After searxing around and coming across the last comment of a reddit post (not even the official forum), you have to download qbitorrent with libtorrent 2.0.x series.

On the qbittorent download page chose the qbitorrent version corresponding to your system with lt20.

Don’t make it sound I2P alongside qbitorrent is easy. It’s not ! There isn’t any proper tutorial on how to use i2p and eepsites in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, I’m doing my part, but for newbies/newcomers this sounds like an “install/forget” situation while it isn’t !

If you’re into selfhosting komga is a great alternative eBook, epub reader. Their native web reader is great and works flawlessly and your reading is synced on your server, so you can finish off where ever you’re ! (Yeah you need to be online sorry :/)

Though there isn’t a native reader for offline reading, you can install mihon and the komga plugin to fetch your server’s PDF files (doesn’t work with epubs). However, mihon only syncs your finished chapters.

That’s why I recommend to read with komga’s PWA as it works great and syncs on what page you finished off.

InnerTune is also a YouTube Music frontend. Dunno what trick they use but having a similar experience (even better?) than YouTube Music for free is a godsend !

I was a die hard VLC user but now I can’t live without MPV.

VLC does work great on Windows, but I had some issues on Linux & Android, solved by MPV. One simple example is with jellyfin on android. VLC as an external player sometimes doesn’t work great with ASS subtitles. VLC fell a bit behind on Linux/Android devices.

However on Windows, VLC would have been the first thing I would install alongside with Firefox.

Strangely enough, like the wikileaks scandal… Most people are forgetful. But not on purpose…

That’s how good they are in manipulating people’s mind.

That’s kinda reductive… But okay ! I use mostly protonVPN because of their free tier and being able to route all my traffic through the same tunnel.

IMO The Fedi Origami looks waaay better than the 3 cat but holes. Even the first iteration looks somehow better, even though less “professional”?

I hate them ! How can something be flat and a package at the same time ? Those flatpackers are the flatearther conspirators of IT ! Just burn them on hot pile of logs like we are in the 17th century !!! Burrrrn !!!

Edit: Thank you, found it on your shared link ! 😄

Oh wow thank you ! Would it be to much to ask for a dark mode version? If there’s a one hit button to change into a more eye friendly color mode :)

Either way, thank your for sharing your work :))

While I don’t know of a solution I totally get what you mean… A lot of cool projects don’t work anymore because of that…

Something similar to the container technology, where everything is packed into an image with all it’s dependencies to the correct version. The app would probably be a security nightmare, but could still work in it’s own contained system.

This sounds like a very neat technology that Linux is missing !

Also, on your SMB server you need to add a specific configuration to play nice with OS X…

So yeah that’s on OP not reading through the documentation.

@reminder 20 years

This must be very specific and probably heavly bloated with unecessary stuff? (With probably alot of telemetry and other strange things…)

I have never encountered any breaking of styling/css, except with some specific addons (no-script, heavy dns blocking, ublock in hard mode…)

Not that I doub your claims, but if you have any example on hand I would be very open to give it a try and maybe learn something new in the web realm.

Wait… You have encountered a website that doesn’t work on Firefox? :/ Like finding a needle in a haystack.

The armbian community is on another level of commitment. Installing a recent debian version on an old ARM Rockchip totally blew my mind… Those people need more recognition !

Yeah, that’s what most people don’t understand… People should do some shrooms/LSD to get out of their head and back to their heart.

This would solve most if not all the cognitive dissonance we strugle with every day…
