This is amazing! I’m not using Gnome, but moments like this are the reason why I love Linux so much.

From Vaxry’s second blogpost:

However, it was brought to our attention apparently you have decided to take to posting about this to your blog.

I have full rights to do so, just like you apparently had the right to post it to your mailing list.

I didn’t dug any deeper, but it seems like Lyude also published the communication between her an Vaxry, if I understand it correctly.

Logseq is a pretty nice FOSS alternative to Obsidian I came across recently. Tmux is absolutely necessary for any terminal work. Wezterm is my favorite terminal emulator because you can easily disable all of the shortcuts except very few you want (tmux handles most of terminal stuff for me). Some new alternatives to old command line utilities:

  • bat is cat but 1000 times better. I love it so much!
fun fact

I also recently learned that it’s safer, because you can have a file that has some bad command, then the backspace character several times, and cat doesn’t display the characters “deleted” by the backspaces (but it still executes). Bat doesn’t do that.

  • fd is better find
  • rg (ripgrep) is better grep
  • zoxide is better cd
  • dust is better du

Two things:

  • About a week ago in school, my friend told me to remove System32. I told him that I don’t have it on Linux and that I’ll show him how to break Linux. I typed rm -fr / --no-preserve-root, but I was really tired that day, and for some reason, I pressed enter. After a second, I did Ctrl+C, and luckily, it was without sudo, but it still deleted many random files on my system that I’ve had access to.
  • Once I wanted to ssh into my Raspberry Pi on the local network and accidentally entered my local ip address and SSHed into my own computer, I was SSHing from. I deleted some config files thinking I’m doing it on the Raspberry, but luckily, I haven’t done any big damage. It could have ended much worse, however, because it took almost two hours of confused screaming until I noticed that I’m, in fact, doing all the stuff on my own computer. Don’t have the same username and password on pc and server, guys.

I don’t know anything about immutable distros, but any good VPN provide Wireguard or OpenVPN config that you can just import into your network settings/manager. Mullvad does.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned ChromeOS yet.
