I need access to his grave please. Gotta pay my respects. I’ll be eating a lot of McDonald’s and laxatives beforehand…as a tribute.

I highly recommend looking into Kobo. They sell ereaders with a Linux OS base and work very well with the Calibre eBook management software.

Great work. They haven’t commented on this matter for some time now and its good to see an updated comment on this issue.

I use Grapheme OS, but do use Mull. I also use Vanadium and base Chromium. Each for different uses. Mull for general browsing (I have many extensions, but I feel a bit more secure by running NoScript).

Vanadium is for when I need more functionality, and raw Chromium for inspecting responsive design of my own sites.

The GrapheneOS community is a great asset to the Android ecosystem, and their mentality has always seemed to be security above all else (even above privacy), which is a voice that is needed in any organization.

Again, thanks for doing this investigation.

I recently got fitgirl’s Cyberpunk 2077 repack working on Artix Linux with Lutris by following this guide:

It doesn’t take into account you also need to use GEProton as well (for Cyberpunk at least), but its easy enough to install GEProton via ProtonUp, and then just configuring the game to use GEProton in the settings via lutris.

I got mangohud working as well, that was relatively simple.

I also noticed that I needed to install and setup dxvk as an overlay for Vulkan.

Yeah, it was a lot of setup and you need plenty of hard drive space as both the repack and the installed game are huge (have double the space available listed on the repack site).

I have the game on Steam, but wanted to know how to do this, and it was not as bad as I thought it would be.

Yeah, YouTube is once again doing some shenanigans. My home IP address is not blocked from the YouTube site, and certain invidious instances are working. yt-dlp has the same issue as NewPipe (asks for captcha, sends back 405 by default). Using a VPN seems to solve the issue.

I was a bit afraid that YouTube just outright blocked my IP, as others in my household use YouTube. Luckily it’s just NewPipe and yt-dlp, and a VPN solves it.

Nevertheless, it doesn’t bode well that YouTube is going to such extreme measures to prevent NewPipe/yt-dlp access.

Given a long enough time frame, the vast majority of an immortal life would be spent buried beneath something or floating in the void of space. Think about it, you outlast planets and stars. When those go dark, but you don’t die…nothing to do but float in space.

You might counter that with, "well yeah, but eventually I’d find other sentient life forms and/or people again.” And sure, maybe, but that wouldn’t last as long as you…and then you’re just alone floating in space again, for the vast majority of your life. The only thing to look forward to, since you will outlast everything, is the end of time itself.

I use Thunder currently. My first Android Lemmy client was Jerboa, which was fine.

I’ve tried Voyager, and I can’t remember right now why I didn’t stick with it, but I ended up just gravitating towards Thunder. It’s UI strikes the right balance between feature full and minimal imho.

I second this. Add some red wiggler worms. They will quickly digest it into usable castings for plant food.

Professionally. I’ve been teaching myself Web Dev for the past 4 years and have actually worked at a small start up briefly, but want to work at a small/medium size company at some point.

I can’t afford to go back to school, but am familiar with the classic CS curriculum, in part thanks to the resources listed on that website you referenced. Thank you for that.

It’s just taking me a long time as while I have a college degree, I have never had a strong background in mathematics, let alone the discrete mathematics generally required by most robust CS curriculum.

That said, I have a great support structure, with many mentors and a solid local and online community. I’ve even hung out with a few Linux kernel devs, who have graciously given me various pieces of advice on how to proceed learning the basics.

This TCP/IP book is sort of a detour, as I don’t see myself utilizing the concepts directly (save for a bit of packet analysis), but I’ve noticed web developers, at least at the Jr level, tend to only have a surface level knowledge of how HTTP fits into the broader TCP/IP model, and I’d rather that not be the case for myself.

Thanks again for that resource. I’ve yet to dive deep into a lot of the books on that site, but it’s been in my bookmarks for a while now, and I definitely will be getting around to inspecting them more deeply in the near future.
