How can you be “independent” if you have sponsors? All sponsorships are in the form of unrestricted donations. Board seats and other forms of influence are not for sale.

…per the FAQ.

You can also install wallpaper plugins from the KDE store for your lock screen background. I’m a fan of City Grow.

Sunshine/Moonlight works well for me also.

I have an 8 year old Acer aspire and it works great for coding. I’ve learned a lot about both of those languages with zero worries and recently moved the OS over to nix with excellent results.

Well, I’ve got good news, you can do both at the same time with the patented cyber-bullet! When it implants, it implants 100 percent of the time.

He’s gone from suck to blow.

I run a SearXNG instance myself and while it is a fine aggregator, it’s important to note what it is and isn’t. For instance, Sear does not have a dedicated search index and leans on third party API calls (to indexes such as the aforementioned Google and DDG listings.) This is my understanding, feel free to correct it.

For my money, I like the anonymity that Sear can afford and that it hides the AI bullshit pouring into the UIs. My son and I were talking over the weekend about how unreliable he is finding the move to AI search.

Edit: A list of public SearXNG instances for anyone that doesn’t want to spin up their own.

Not for a while now, I continued to use it after switching to AMD. It’s regularly being updated, give it a try.

As a seven-plus year Linux vet I’ve known about OpenWRT for some time but only made the switch about 3 months or so myself to breathe some life into an aging Linksys.

I’m very impressed with the kit so far, it runs well (snappy even) and the amount of options provided are a bit overwhelming at first. Eventually I’ll move on to prosumer hardware, but this is a nice middle ground in the interim.

Thanks for the recommendation, looking into it as well.

Strava has continued to enshittify the app to the point that I’m getting ads after every activity. Anyway, I decided to delete it after yesterday’s run and will keep an eye on this project. Thanks!

Same, proxmox + lxc is a gift.

Thanks!

I also like to keep a text editor open and paste everything I’m doing, as I do it, into that window. Clean it up a little, and you’ve got documentation for when you eventually have to change/fix it.

Smart stuff that is leaving me feeling dumb for not having thought of it myself, shell history is a poor substitute.

Following with interest (as I am a newbie myself), but if I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t want to re-invent the wheel in the middle of classes. That said, I am loving the process of jumping in feet first on laptop hardware, but the slog is real.

In other news, Arch continues to be rock-solid, even during the Plasma 6 update cycle I’ve had nothing but success where it is concerned. Best of luck!

Oof, I’m a dumdum. Thanks for the correction.

bpytop, it’s just too pretty to pass up.

This.

Excellent, thanks for this info.
