U de Recife
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.
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.
I love copyq so much. It’s definitely one of the apps I first install in a new deployment. When I hear of the troubles some people go through for not having a clipboard manager, I just smh and think, ‘copyq’.
Early 2002. I read about Linux somewhere, and I was trying a Mandrake install. I also read about control+alt+Backpage, which eagerly proceed to try.
Now I’m on tty, cursor blinking, thinking: I broke Linux.
Scared, I cleverly undid that mistake by simply… reinstalling the distro. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
It’s an electrical car. So the other person is packing in the front.
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?’.
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?
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'
Having opinions about other peoples gender, sexual orientation, private matters. Also legislating about that.
