I’m many things. Here’s perhaps a few worth knowing.

I’m:

  • an M.A. in #Philosophy
  • a teacher, mostly #teaching #academic #writing
  • a committed #FOSS user
  • a #Fediverse enthusiast

If you’re into Mastodon, you can also find me @UdeRecife@firefish.social.

Search (pun) for a SearxNG (read as searching) instance.

It’s an open source meta search engine. You can make it even more private if you selfhost it.

Oh, thank you for correcting me! It’s right there and I didn’t see it. My bad.

You raise good points. I confess I hadn’t thought about it like that. So, not only you corrected me, you also enlightened me. I’m today’s lucky 10000!

For arch Linux, there’s Topgrade. All there, in just one command. All. There. Official repos, AUR, even firmware upgrades.

Here’s my alias to update the whole system. It includes fetching the fastest mirrors, topgrade, and cleaning the update’s packages cache. Tailor it to your own needs.

alias update='sudo fetchmirrors -q -s 5 -v -c PT && yes | topgrade -c -y --no-retry --disable gem --disable vim --disable emacs --disable gem --disable sdkman --disable rustup --disable cargo --disable remotes && sudo paccache -rk 0'

Vegan when eating, Arch Linuxing when computing, communist when sharing, capitalist when investing, …

The list knows no end. Why not just say what’s appropriate for each particular circumstance?

I always read out loud. Always. And I do most of my readings while walking. So I imagine hearing me waking around taking to myself make other people think ‘wtf?’.

I had two issues triggering the ad blocking warning. Mind that I’m running Firefox and Ublock origin.

The first was the setting to block ads on YouTube enhancer add on.

The second was a rule I created on Ublock origin to block the notification bell.

After clearing both, no more warnings. At least for now.
