just an english enby living through the end times...

Formerly of:

  • LXQt and Xfce can both run under Wayland. I'd recommend using LabWC as the compositor.

    Cinnamon and MATE also have experimental Wayland support.

    • JPEG XL → file.jxl
    • Big PDF → file.bpdf
    • MP3 Pro Max → file.mpx
    • SVG Deluxe → file.sdx
    • 7Zip 7Furious → file.7zf
    • DOCX-treme → file.dxt
    • GIF Supreme → file.gifs
  • Some people are just stupid, I guess

  • Ah, sorry.

  • I can't find any other sources reporting on this.

  • StarLabs, Tuxedo, and Slimbook come to mind. There's also MNT, but their laptops are quite chunky.

  • Judging by the handkerchief, yes.

  • Excellent tool. Shame it doesn't have anything on Scottish pubs.

  • A VPN alone will not do that. It will make it more difficult, as your location and IP address will be changing, but there are still methods.

    Cookies, for one thing, are the main way in which you are tracked. In fact, most cookies exist solely for tracking. The solution: clear your cookies regularly, and use private mode when possible.

    Browser fingerprinting can also be used. This method takes into account your user agent, screen resolution, installed extensions, hardware info, and also whether or not you have Do Not Track enabled (this had good intentions, but is counter-productive nowadays and should be disabled), and uses this data to single you out among other users. The solution: use a fingerprinting-resistant browser — such as Mullvad, Tor, Cromite, or Brave — never make your browser fullscreen, and don't install any extensions that change the behaviour of a website (uBlock Origin and NoScript are exceptions). If you use Tor, do not sign into anything and try to use onion services when possible. If it's not too inconvenient, also disable JavaScript.

    However, you can still be tracked by certain services, regardless of your protections. The solution: Stop using data-hungry services — such as those run by Google, Meta, Microsoft, etc. — and replace them with privacy-respecting alternatives.

    Also be mindful of OS-level tracking. In a nutshell, don't use Windows (Linux ftw) and avoid Android. If you have a compatible device, consider using GrapheneOS or LineageOS. Otherwise, it's often possible to block OS-level trackers with an ad-blocking DNS, such as NextDNS.

    Here are some further resources:

  • More email clients:

    • Linux/Unix
      • Evolution
      • KMail
      • Geary
    • Android
    • CLI
      • NeoMutt
      • aerc
  • Even better!

  • Torrent is fully decentralised and therefore accessible in practically all jurisdictions, regardless of the server status.

    In many cases, I have also found Torrents to be considerably faster than direct downloads — however, your mileage may vary.

  • Sigmund's mom has got it going on

    She's all I want and I've waited for so long

    Sigmund, can't you see? You're just not the shrink for me

    I know it might be wrong, but I'm in love with Sigmund's mom

  • Older hardware. I read somewhere it's lighter than Btrfs or XFS, and marginally faster than Ext4. Probably not my smartest move, in hindsight, but the system does fly.

  • (Oceania in this case being the USA's domain, not China's. When Nineteen Eighty-Four was written, the area consisting of Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, etc. was more commonly known as Australasia).
