To expand on the container/vm idea, for someone that’s never done such a thing before, installing whatever OS u want (windows or other) in virtual box then setting the network get internet only from the vpn would be a very secure but not all that hard to do.

The easiest way for a beginner would however be to use a VPN that have its own software with built in kill switch, then you select whatever program you want killed if the vpn goes down, and it just exits that program. (If your paranoid research DNS leaks first)

Can you put together a tldr? I’m glad your writing this but it’s to much for me to take in all at once 😅

Looks nice.

You can rename your desktop shortcuts with invisible characters to have them only appear as icons. One character that works for this is holding alt and using the numpad to press 255, you cant have the same name for the icons, so just add different number of invisible characters to them.

I believe he is referring to the fact that YouTube don’t have to pay upfront for new content, they even get new content without hunting for it, and many smaller channels don’t have partnership and so on.

Sure they have a platform, backend and so on. But Netflix needs to have all that too plus buy things to show to their customers.

Could u link to where u got the theme? 😊

I wonder if the feature is bugged or something if that rly is what it means when they are dark like that, because it has happened multiple times now to post I’m 100% sure I have not yet seen.

I have all boxes checked under the setting for mark as read in Infinity, maybe they have not yet been tested enough to find all the bugs.

Strange, I have had notifications show up when I’m not in the app

Oh so that’s what it means, thx! 🙏

I have also recently moved and it makes me wonder, will users moving to other instances affect the graph?

I like the idea but it’s too long, I suggest this https://lemm.ee/comment/1992588

Lemmity This is my vote Edit: But I don’t see a problem leaving it as is either

What url should I use when adding the app in Obtainium? The codeberg repo url and the release url both didn’t work.

Edit: solved, they are marked as pre releases so that option needs to be enabled in the app. And then I used the url that led to the repo page on codeberg.

Nice! How easy was it getting D4 running?

I have been looking in the steam store hoping it would show up since a lot of other Blizzard games are. Steam makes running games on Linux very easy, what did you do to run it, add battlenet as non steam game?

Old Thinkpads make great Linux laptops with almost all models having all drivers working out of the box. Any model sufficiently new will work much better than any new laptop in the same price category. They also have great ports, replaceble batteries, screen, keyboards, ram, ssd and so on. I have a X250 and my wife have an T440s.

Buy anything newer then this (40 is my recommended minimum) if u want to use them as daily driver:

X440 (the smaller 13 inch laptops start with X)

T440 (14 inch, top of the class performance vs sleekness)

L440 (14 inch, don’t know what’s special here)

W540 (15 inch, workstation)

Some models can end with an S or P, example T440S. S models are thinner, P models are more powerful.

Just search your local marketplaces for “ThinkPad” then look for a picture of the screen and you will see the model number in the bottom left corner. ThinkPads have a red nob on the keyboard, so if the picture don’t have a nob, you can flick past it quicker 😉

You can even get one with the wrong keyboard layout and just replace it, they have so many replacement parts on ebay you can build one from scratch if you wanted. I replaced my keyboard to get backlighting and my screen to get 1920*1080 on a x250 I got for about 125 Dollar.

PS: don’t get a E variant, they are the budget variants with way worse build quality.

Edit: formatting

Nvidia will probably get better in the future (2024+) due to some great work being done on the open source driver. So as you say, I would also recommend AMD unless you rly need Nvidia for something specific like developing for RTX or something. I have recently gotten my Nvidia 2070 eGPU to work after many hours of debugging, while all my AMD cards work out of the box.

This is a bad thing. Google could easily make it so you can’t use any of their services like YouTube and Gmail without using their browser.
