Appreciate the link but this doesn’t make me feel much better. Seems like their license and terms of use is basically, “Ask and we’ll tell you if you can do that.” Not very transparent.
Kebab. Not my favorite visually speaking but I had RSI issues for a while and I’m still very focused on limiting keystrokes (no shift key needed with kebab).
I guess I could just try a minimal install (uncheck every box) and see how it goes.
Don’t remember the specifics but I had a key combo setup to force a soft reset in my DE. Occasionally a kernel or driver update would fuck up my video and make the system unusable but still live. I try to avoid hard resets.
Could’ve been something Fedora-ish but based on the GitHub I don’t think that’s it. The most distinct thing I remember is that it appeared abandoned but the author just didn’t feel it needed any changes.
I use like four different devices to browse and some have multiple browsers so checking history has been rough.
Interesting but not what I was thinking of. I think in the GitHub also the author gave a specific example of an OS layered with the Steam client.
You can run pacman on Windows?
I think this is a fair question. I haven’t seen anyone mention the benefits of using a non-web mail client (OP mentioned Yubikey but 2FA isn’t uncommon with web mail). I would actually consider using one if it gave me clean up options (e.g. haven’t opened an email in 3 days and the sender is not in my address book move to Junk/Spam). Main reason I rarely look at email is that it’s 90% stuff I have no desire to read and marking things as spam is a never ending cycle.
I use IceWM on antiX. Seems to be a good mix of low resource usage and aesthetics.
I’ve never heard anyone explicitly say this but I’m sure a lot of people (i.e. management) think that AI is a replacement for static code. If you have a component with constantly changing requirements then it can make sense, but don’t ask an llm to perform a process that’s done every single day in the exact same way. Chief among my AI concerns is the amount of energy it uses. It feels like we could mostly wean off of carbon emitting fuels in 50 years but if energy demand skyrockets will be pushing those dates back by decades.
I think it could be potentially easier to thwart malicious bots than “honest” bots. I figure a bot that doesn’t care about robots.txt and whatnot would try to gobble up as many pages as it could find. You could easily place links into HTML that aren’t visible to regular users and a “greedy” bot would follow it anyway. From there you could probably have a website within a website that’s being generated by AI on the fly. To keep the bots from running up your bills you probably want it to be mostly static.
It’s based on Puppeteer which has been around awhile. It’s pretty useful for automating UI tests.
Ditto. Running antix on my netbook and I think icewm had the lowest resource usage of the defaults.
astOS and Arkane Linux too.
That was the main inspiration for me. If I do understand their setup, “testing” a change of some kind would require an explicit rollback. If a reboot in that system meant I lost those changes then that’s actually what I’m looking for.
I’m not planning to alter the system daily so, admittedly, this is a bespoke, non-trivial process to handle an uncommon use case. In general I haven’t run into the kind of issues that immutable distros proport to fix. I would say this is moreso an OCD friendly approach to OS management. I’m also hoping this setup will basically force me into using Ansible more and manual tweaks less.
I feel Guix and NixOS are a bit more in a league of their own due to their declarative nature. I’m on the fence if I want to go that far. Again, I’ll admit my knowledge of these systems is based on docs and I’ll probably have much different thoughts getting hands on.
And my goal is to rely on Flatpak and containers but if that was the answer then all the immutable distros out there are about as overbaked as my idea.
It’s maybe a little bloated and UI is 🤮 but it never lets me down. Since I started paying for RealDebrid I love it even more!
If this is legal then it’s a giant gaping loophole in the system. Not just because it’s easy to harass someone but because it sounds incredibly easy for a cop to call in an “anonymous tip” on someone they suspected of wrongdoing but had no evidence to support it. I’m almost positive the Supreme Court has even held that evidence that was gathered in the course of raiding the wrong building is legal as it’s an “honest mistake”.
