Good. Fuck Israel. I hope their economy goes down the drain as quickly as possible.

Signal is still great for cross-platform rich messaging, sending photos and videos with good quality (unlike with SMS), as well as voice and video calls. It also has fantastic desktop apps, similar to how you can use iMessage on your Mac, but Signal works on Linux and Windows as well. And you don’t need to be a criminal to care about your privacy.

May I ask why you don’t use it?

Or NextDNS

If you don’t need to configure everything yourself, you can also check out Mullvad’s public DNS or dnsforge

“Rent”

prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand

I think ‘acquire’ definitely falls in this category

An Alpine user, cool! What is it like to use it as your primary desktop OS? I have only played around with it on servers or in VMs and containers.

Paru > yay

On Arch I don’t need any, I just run paru without any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that’s specific to my system, runs paru -Sc --noconfirm to clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.

Yay doesn’t replace normal packages with AUR packages. Btw It’s not just an AUR helper, it’s a wrapper for Pacman with AUR support built-in. Check out paru btw, it’s a more modern version of yay that basically works the same way: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru

It’s pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.

Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza

Custom apt repo:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gpg

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y eza

In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It’s even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple cargo install lsd.

You might like lsd even more than that!

You have to enable it in your shell config. For bash it’s eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

That will give you the z command.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to just yay -Syu to update everything, normal packages and AUR packages?

I think Avalonia is pretty great for C# cross-platform UI stuff. JetBrains Rider is the best C# IDE on Linux.

+1 for Servo

They have an install script that makes this much easier. https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale

I summed up the steps:

Create an account at https://login.tailscale.com/start

Open Konsole and copy-paste the following commands, then hit enter to run them:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale.git; cd deck-tailscale

sudo bash tailscale.sh

source /etc/profile.d/tailscale.sh

sudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --ssh This will give you a QR code, that you need to scan with your phone. You will have to log in to Tailscale to add the Steam Deck to your Tailscale network.

Try running sudo tailscale update

If this works, i.e. if you don’t get any error messages, run sudo tailscale set --auto-update

If you use Decky Loader, I recommend installing the Tailscale Control plugin, which lets you control Tailscale from the Steam menu. You can also use KTailctl to control it from desktop mode.

Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.

It doesn’t work, because it relies on Piped/Invidious. Both are currently broken, because Google is trying everything to block third party clients/APIs/proxies for YouTube.
