  • Tips/Resources on the Shell.

    Jump

  • Exciting you're interested in the terminal. Personally I find it an invaluable tool, it's powerful and versatile, suitable for almost any task. So as you learn, I'd encourage you to be concious about what you find interesting or fun, whether it is the coding-, problem solving-, automation-part, or an entiely different aspect.

    There are several gamified introductions to programming, scripting and using the shell, which may be a good start. Some of my favourites (off the top of my head) are:

  • Skulle have set det komme: Chat Control 2.0, slet ikke lagt på hylden, forsøges sneget ind i "Kompromis"-aftalen ...

    Jump

  • Er ikke 100%, men vil tro det er Peter Hummelgaard, han har i hvert fald haft travlt med lignende tiltag.

    Update: Following protests, on November 13 a clarification followed that chat control should not be mandatory, not even through the back door of “risk mitigation”. However the other problems persist. We must raise our voice in the upcoming trilogue negotiations between the EU Parliament, EU governments, and the EU Commission. They are expected to start in January 2026 and be completed by March.

  • Dumb question here, but you did remember to point at a directory to mount the share to, right?

    Part from that, I've encountered needing to provide the domain as well (typically WORKGROUP) as the credentials for a user with access to the given share. Furthermore providing username and password on the command-line is known to have some issues, thus I encourage you to provide them in a credential file, which would look something like this:

     
        
username=value
password=value
domain=WORKGROUP

    My typical command, changed for your case, would be:

     bash
        
mkdir -p ~/mounted_music
sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=~/creds //DESKTOP-N840KKP/My\ Music ~/mounted_music

    Not sure I've encountered it myself, but some shares doesn't support Unix Extensions which can be disabled with "nounix", you might want to define access rights then either "rw" or "dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777". (0777 is not a good practice, but it'll do for testing) thus something like the following options argument.

     bash
        
-o credentials=~/creds,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,nounix

  • Don't know how banking works in the US, but is a normal bank transfer not an option?

  • Quarkdown

  • Looks interesting, I'll have to dig a bit deeper into it! Thanks for sharing :)

  • Quarkdown

  • I did use the previous one. Liked it well enough, despite having some config issues. (definitely my own fault though) But then it entered maintenance mode, and I had a few alternatives to try out ... It's good to see it lives on though, so I'll keep an eye on it as I might give it another go, thanks :)

  • Perhaps it is time I delved into the world of Emacs. I'll check org-mode out, thanks :)

  • Thanks for sharing, looks really cool! Especially with how prevalent markdown is.

    Hopefully this isn't too off topic/thread derailing:As a longtime LaTeX enjoyer, lately I've become increasingly infatuated by Typst. With Excalidraw quickly winning my favour as well ...However I find myself daydreaming of some of Obsidian's powerfull features for knowledge graphing/"second brain"-ing, but given various reasons, never successfully convinced myself to use it. (Primarily: markdown seemingly a bit too simplistic for my preference, and Obsidian, to my knowledge, not being open source(?))Instead I've tried some alternatives, each with excellent ideas, unfortunately none really hitting home with my wierd brain. e.g. Zim, LogSeq, SiYuan, ...

    As such I'm curious to hear about others' setup, and thoughts. - Is Some(Quarkdown + Obsidian) perhaps what I've truly been longing for for?

  • Any window manager suggestion

  • I feel like hyprland is really popular, or at least it's the one I most often hear mentioned. It should be really configurable as well, so maybe it's worth a look. I'm not sure you're going to notice much of a performance difference though, unless the device has a really limited amount of RAM.

  • Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?

    Jump

  • I think the people behind Session cares for their mission, and it might align with OP's, so maybe. Although I personally am not too fond of about all their choices.

    The omission of Forward Secrecy for instance doesn't sit well with me. Each to their own though, and they do go into their reasoning on their blog: https://getsession.org/session-protocol-explained

    Likewise their last audit from 2021, lists quite a handful of critical/moderate issues in their apps, hopefully they've fixet it. Afterall it's been a while since 2021. https://getsession.org/faq#security-audit

  • What should I expect upon switching from windows?

  • I'm excited you're giving Linux a try! There are a ton of excellent ressources online for learning about Linux, how to make it your own (a practice commonly called 'ricing'), or fix errors you may encounter. These are explored further in the links below :)

    1. Picking a distro. What I hear is that, unless you have some problematic hardware it doesn't really matter what you pick. So if it feels overwhelming, don't stress too much over if it's the "right one", you can always try different ones out. Having said that, my impression is, many coming from Windows seem to be happy with 'Mint'. Likewise 'Bazzite' seems popular as of late. But 'Pop_Os!', 'Debian' or 'Fedora', are also all perfectly valid choices. Personally I've liked using Endeavour OS with KDE, for quite a while.
    2. Software. There's so much cool software out there, so maybe search around for which can solve your needs. I like browsing Flathub.org or blogs, such as, Phoronix to discover new software. There might also be a discovery feature in the distro itself. Both Firefox (and its derivatives such as LibreWolf) and Chromium (along with its derivatives: Chrome, Brave, etc.) runs well. Even the much smaller project: LadyBird, does so. I have no experience with music production software on Linux, so cannot comment on that.
    3. Games. Might depend on which types of games you play. But to me it seems Steam (using Proton/Wine), Heroic Games Launcher, and Lutris, works great. The steamdb as others mention is also a super ressource!

    If you made it this far through my wall of text, I'm delighted by your curiousity. Two Linux "introductory videos" I'd like to share are respectively from Nick@thelinuxEXP Linux isn't (just) better, it's also more FUN! and Brodie Robertson's Linux Resources Every New Linux User Needs Odysee YouTube

  • Absolutely agree, fuck Nestle.

  • Log off

  • I believe the latter. My guess would be it's an Elecom. Specifically either a DEFT PRO, or HUGE.

  • Looking for a FOSS maps app. (iOS)

    Jump

  • Like everyone else is mentioning, Organic Maps is probably an excellent option.

    Personally, I also rather like Magic Earth, although it's sadly not FOSS. But it does have crowd sourced traffic info, and imo a better search ux.
