NixOS is exactly what you want.

You declare your configs in a way that you can just copy them to another computer and it willbe configured the same way.

I’ve never tried it my self, but I might for my next machine.

Been using it on my phone and browsers for maybe a year. Works great.

Browser plugin can be a bit shaky at times, but that might just be some side effect from my config of LibreWolf or something else.

This is the real answer

Uncalled for but 10/10 execution

Here’s some music from one of my favourite bands :)

Will I be able to do exposure stacking with the overlay module?

Link to cocktails community please! Love making them, love sipping them!

It being a completely open platform means there will definitively be data collection. Some entity will scrape the fediverse for data. It’s free, open and unprotected.

I believe you are fixating on something that won’t have much impact regardless of what choice you make. I have been using “windows keyboards” on Linux for years with literally no problems (related to keyboards and Linux). I mostly game, browse the web and work as a software engineer.

Focus on what feels good physically/ergonomically for you and your workflow and you’ll be golden.

The only caveat I’d throw in there is if your keyboard of choice has some sort of RGB program for Windows or other custom software. It might not be as simple to control that functionality from Linux, but in many cases there are open source Linux alternatives for that software.

I get your point. But Linux Mint does not have Snap by default, so that does not really apply.

I’d still recommend the normal Ubuntu based one since there is so much easily available help out there for any Ubuntu based system.

The Debian dist is (iirc) just there in case Ubuntu becomes unsuitable as an upstream in the future. I would treat it as a safe backup option, not a primary choice and def. not something I’d recommend to beginners.

But that’s just my take on it :)

Why tve Debian version? I’d recommend Linux Mint as well, but I’d recommend the normal one.

I have always used and interpreted it as “shaking my head” as well, and I will keep using it like that

I think it has to do with creativity!

The CLI tools are just small simple tools. The power comes from having the understanding of how each tool works and how they can be combined.

I don’t remember this string of commands, I know docker, awk and xargs. When I need this, that is the solution I always end up with.

I often just do

docker ps | awk "{print $1}" | xargs docker stop

Add some filtering in there and you’re golden

Situations like these are the strength of the fediverse. Move your account to an instance that shares your values or doesn’t care about stuff like this.

Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

Edit: Didn’t mean to ridicule any of you all. I based my comment on my experience when I signed up. At that time there were plenty of instances to pick from and getting approved at my instance of choice was very quick. My bad.

Aah, yes. You’re right there. You will require a domain for it to work. Although, you could still have it work with a local DNS server for internet outages. You would still be able to chat locally in that case. But yeah, this does not seem like what OP is looking for.

I have read a bit about the Matrix protocol and once tried running the Synapse home server and Element front end which is also available as Android/iOS apps.

Matrix is a federated chat protocol in the same way that ActivityPub is a federated social networking protocol. You can host your own Matrix compatible server and chat with people on other servers.

Recently I watched a video about their recent progress in which they showed a chat working peer to peer over bluetooth low energy when devices did not have access to the internet. Writing this, I just watched another P2P demo video where they show off this functionality once again.

This means you can use your own chat server as usual when

• You have an internet connection on your device
• Your device is on the same network as your server
• Your device can find a P2P route to the other users through nearby bluetooth devices running this software allowing your device to route through other devices network and bluetooth connections

Take all of this with a grain of salt as I am not completely sure I understand how the Matrix services work. I hope this helps.

Protonmail is great

Well put!
