It seems to me that Syncthing is the exact right thing to use here; what is “overkill” about it that makes you think you should use something else?

I mean, I use Discord pretty much every day, and that’s what I assumed.

I’m confused here: Hasn’t Red Dead Redemption been on Steam for years?

It’s a reference to your username

With laying off 100 employees?

I do kind of wish the dogs were so sitting around playing poker instead of eating, though.

The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):

The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.

I love Localsend because it’s gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven’t used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?

Definitely; OP’s linked article doesn’t have any quotes that refer to copyright, while this one of yours adds a lot of context that was otherwise missing. There’s a world of difference between allowing retention of IP addresses and creating a cleaning house for IPs suspected of distributing works.

If XSS is your concern, check out Firefox’s Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank’s site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.

I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.

I don’t see a good way to put it on a keychain; the only hole looks tiny, and right on an edge where it’s likely to snap after a year or so of wear.

Mint is super comfy. Garuda is cool. Pop_OS! is as annoying to use as it is to type.

That’s me. I’ve only lived in one apartment with a dishwasher, and that was only for a year. We just used it as storage for pots and pans. My folks have a dishwasher now, but any time I go visit them I just wash stuff by hand, at least partly because I don’t know how to dishwasher.

Ron Wyden is a treasure:

“The U.S. government should not be funding and legitimizing a shady industry whose flagrant violations of Americans’ privacy are not just unethical, but illegal,” Wyden wrote.

Such a good game. It’s mind-blowing how much personality and character development they give a bunch of quadrilaterals. The wiring and narration are fantastic.

You can have non-markdown files in your vault, but I’m not sure how readily you can search them by default; there may be plugins that support that use case though.

The difference is the part immediately after you stopped quoting:

They don’t understand how horrible the loss of privacy is…

What OP is saying here is that people know abstractly that smart devices are not privacy friendly, but they don’t understand how big a deal that actually can be.

CherryTree is way clunkier, IMO, and has too many irrelevant options that get in the way, particularly around formatting. Obsidian is just markdown, so you don’t have the option of spending 15 minutes trying to figure out why code blocks are showing up as dark text on light background even though you’re in dark mode, which was my last experience in CherryTree. Looking and cross referencing documents is also super easy; I’m not sure if CherryTree even does that.

is not out yet, but development seems to be moving quickly; it’s one to keep an eye on

I’m on Garuda, primarily becausei built a new machine with a (then) bleeding edge GPU, so I needed something rolling release that could make use of it. I tried a few others, including Endeavour and Nobara, but Garuda got me farthest along on its own.
