No mention of xsnow? I’m getting old hehe

I had the same issue and used MenuLibre to hide the entire lsp directory.

I’m afraid I can’t answer that, It’s been quite a while. I think qutebrowser is the one that ships with it?

Puppy Linux is what I shove on old Atom netbooks

1&2 - Can be solved by your DE and disabling notifications altogether with a toggle. XFCE4 panel has a notifications plugin that I have switched to DND when installing the system and haven’t turned it off since. It’s been 3 years :)
3- I can’t comment on as I use #4. When it works, it works. When a bad update is pushed, it really doesn’t work
4 - Garuda

edit: WM -> DE

Also, is there a better ways to swtich tabs rather than press on the icon or Alt+Tab?

I can’t comment specifically on --drop-down as those annoy the heck out of me. If you don’t mind a bit more of a manual approach to window switching without fancy bells and whistles, rofi can do that for you with rofi -show window and typing a few letters gets me there faster than looking for a snapshot of a window or an icon.

I use shift+super or ctrl+super as a modifier for shortcuts. Most of my things ignore when the super is also pressed. I also removed all of the shortcuts from XFCE’s keyboard settings so only mine are there.

EDIT: I also want to say I use a Razer Naga X mouse, and have access to a full numpad with my thumb.

I second this. Learning how to maintain your own PKGBUILD will save you a ton of headache in the long run, especially if you use something that locks you out until you update (like Discord, those bastards)

Deluge has sequential download.

Check 3/4 of them and you can use whatever player you want.

Another vote for Obsidian. Markdown is powerful enough to be used anywhere. I’m currently using Obsidian with the Templater plugin to write. Entries I want published get copied to the directory I use to build my site with Zola.

What about Raven Reader? It’s Electron, yet it didn’t feel like an Electron app. I used it before switching to Newsflash. My only reason for switching was that Raven didn’t work well with FreshRSS.

I ran into the problem enough that I switched to Waterfox to get away from it :/

That’s fair. I’m 100% onboard the decentralisation train, and do my hardest to practice what I preach. In the event that the service does go bust, I can make a backup on a different S3 compatible service immediately as long as my working copy is intact. The likelihood of the backup service AND the working copy dying at the exact same time would be my cue to take up knitting.

Definitely 25 TB. I’ve used the service for a long time, since before they accepted credit cards. I attached my credit card one day and got a bump to 25 TB. Since that happened, I pay basically nothing and my account is still 100% storj token funded.

Edit: I dug up screenshots I sent someone recently

I use Duplicati connected to Storj with data volumes that incrementally get backed up once per month. My files don’t change very often, so monthly is a good balance. Not counting my Jellyfin library, those backups are around 1 TB. With the Jellyfin library, almost 15 TB.

Earlier this year, I recovered from a 100% data loss scenario, as I didn’t (and still don’t) have space for physical backups. I have a 25 TB allowance, so my actual cost was €0. If I had to pay, it would have been under €1.

Can it be a web one? If so, I’ve used Photopea in the past.

1. Nope
2. 3&4 is the workflow
3. I keep my /home/ on another drive, so reinstalls pick up where I left off
4. Immediately with GTK and frequently used program themes until satisfied, then more slowly as I go

I personally wouldn’t, because the Unix philosophy should still apply. If you need 50k lines of bash to do something that a collection of existing command line tools already can do, you may need to re-evaluate your needs.

As @nous@programming.dev said here, POSIX compliance is extremely important. Much of the “real world” infrastructure is still UNIX based, especially in finance. It isn’t easy to replace those systems at all, especially a legacy codebase that literally the entire world runs on. COBOL and Fortran applications in banking are still being updated today, despite efforts to modernise systems because they just work and the code is pretty much hardened at this point.

As always, in every industry, there is a “right tool” for the job. The great thing about the Unix philosophy is, if correctly applied across your stack, it doesn’t matter what language you write the tools in. Your bash script is only going to be forwarding that output to something that is suited to handle it. This person sped up their python application by using Rust for one set of functions.

BTRFS on OS volumes for the rollback features and ext4 for data volumes because I have never had total data loss from ext3 or ext4.
