    I’ve tried twice to make the move to VS Code and keep coming back to Emacs. I would often be overwhelmed by my obsession to tweak things (ADHD..) but switching to Doom Emacs and st…

    This looks great and I’ll definitely give it a spin when I get a chance. What I’d really like though is the ability to save the pages locally, I often revisit bookmarks from years …

    For what it’s worth I was a longtime KeepassXC user. Switched to Bitwarden to have easier shared passwords between myself and partner/family however I’m now moving back to KeepassX…

    Fedora on home desktop, Fedora on work Thinkpad. I’ve also got an M1 MacBook Air that I’m probably going to replace with a Framework laptop soon and run Fedora on that too. It’s ju…

    I love DDG but there’s still an awful lot of weird results. Just the other day I searched for a clothing brand and the first result wasn’t their homepage but someones saved wish li…

    What you’re referring to is the TV license fee and you’re not obliged to pay for it at all, you can simply opt out as outlined in the various letters you’ll receive if you don’t pa…

    Exactly this. I have a big nostalgia for old school sysadmin ways of working, but just use Ansible. It’s beyond easy and can be as simple or complex as you like. I use containers o…

    During Covid lockdown online food shopping in my area (UK) became increasingly difficult to book delivery slots as they would fill up as soon as they became available. For most peo…

    You’re cherry picking a subset of people there. I imagine some view it with a sort of mild indifference, but there are people who are concerned about their own privacy from both go…

    I'd strongly recommend against a platform like Fiverr. I spent some time doing various odd DevOps and Linux jobs on there. I basically had to charge next to nothing for my services…

    I have to disagree with this. I have endless issues switching the playback between my iPhone and HomePod, sometimes I’ll have to quit the app just to get the right device to play m…

    Infuriating is a bit of a stretch. A mild annoyance at most.

    +1 for Strongbox, one of the few apps I’m happy to pay for.

    Thanks for reminding me of this, really great read! For a similar feel there’s a good short story by China Miéville called The Ball Pit.

    What different app developers? Isn’t pass basically a wrapper around GPG?

    There appears to be some heavy editing/removal of information going on with the Wikipedia page relating to her.

    Not exactly. But, for me at least, reliability of my mail provider is just as important as them respecting my privacy. There are alternatives that I trust just as much as ProtonMai…
