I noticed this too. In theprimeagens recent video on cups problem they kept making jokes about printing on Unix. I think I must be lucky or something cause so far every printer I have setup on Linux has been easier then having to download all the bloatware to make them work on windows. But I have only done about 6 printers so far on Linux.

Not that I know of, but I kind of feel like Nixos could be. The way you can use nix flakes or shells so each project has its on version of nodejs, go, rust, or w/e you use. Instead of having them installed system wide. And you can put the flake.nix and flake.lock in your git repo so any other Dev with nix can use it to DL the exact same packages.

I see it a lot when ppl complain about signal, but just can’t understand why you would save 10+ years in old msgs. Almost all my signal conversations even GRP chats are set to 1 week auto delete. If something important Is said that I need to save, I copy/paste it into my note app where I can organize it. Its sounds so impractical to dig through 10+ years of data everytime you need something. Plus it would be awful to know there is a log of all the dumb things I said 10 years ago lol.

I was trying out Locus and seem pretty good. But looks like its not maintained anymore. ☹️

I don’t care about the photos. But glad to hear they are taking photos and music out of the main app and making it less bloated.

Hotkeys are almost always faster than using a mouse. Ctrl + tab & Ctrl + shift+ tab. Also alt + 1-8.

Ctrl + T to make new tab and Ctrl + W to close current tab.

Stock iOS may be better for privacy than google on a OS level. But so many of the best Foss and open source app alternatives are android only. Like iOS can’t even run real Firefox. Much less things like newpipe.

So far I haven’t had any crashes, But I am using the app image instead flatpak. I’m going to try zen on a second machine tomorrow.

Dang, was hoping vertical tabs would be in it when I seen the nice round 130. I have been trying out Zen browser which seems to be a fancy Firefox skin that has virt tabs and they seem awesome.

You should check out Nixos. You make a config file that you can just copy over to as many machines as you want.

Newpipe is working. Just make sure you are on the latest update. YouTube broke it twice in a row not long ago. But latest update has been working for weeks now. Check the github. Looks like v0.27.2 is the latest.

Why? Passkeys are great. Though X can probably screw them up somehow.

This is what made me finally completely switch my email and docs to proton. I’m so close to being able to delete my google account now.

Well this and the docs live collaboration feature they recently added.

I self-host a lot of stuff. But password manager just feels risky to me. Like what if I mess up and lose all my data or something.

With bitwarden being encrypted and all I just didn’t see any down side to using their server. Plus more convenient since I don’t have to VPN to use it. Or open a port.

All of that just to ask. Am I missing something? Should I be self-hosting it? I wondered about using both so I’d have a backup ether way. Or in case their servers go down for awhile. But that’s super rare.

Since I use a good password manager. And use TOTP on everything I can. Which admittedly I do store in my password manager as well. I don’t think passkey really improves security very much in my case.

That being said though I’m a big fan of passkeys and use them everywhere I can. But I don’t store them on devices only in my password manager. So I don’t have to worry about if I lose a device.

I think where passkeys really shine though is for people who still aren’t using a password manager. While I’ve tried to get everyone I know using bitwarden most still don’t. And the ones that do still don’t have half of there accounts in it. They are still reusing passwords across multiple sites. So I think passkeys will massively increase security for the majority of ppl. And for those of us using password managers I still think its a slight improvement to convenience.

Finally. I’ve been so excited for this. I have managed to never try any of the extensions so I won’t be disappointed lol.

Not really a answer to your question but I thought it might help.

I tried the next cloud setup since I already self-host a bunch. And I didn’t like it. Like you said updates can mess it up and sharing is annoying. Just in general it was buggy for me.

So I switched to proton. Which even though is hosted on someone else computer, it feels plenty private to me with the E2E encryption. I use proton drive which is easy to share things just like google drive. I use proton Calendar. And I use proton Email. Its slow progress but proton really seems to be fully replacing google for me. They even just added live collaboration to drive. Which was like the one thing I still use google drive for sometimes.

There is a file system you can use. A alternative to ext4. I think its Btrfs. I never tried it. But it let’s you take snapshots that you can restore to. That’s not just system files but everything. And pretty sure you can use it with a disto like arch and Debian. I think that’s how snapshots work. But as I said I never actually tried it out.

If I’m understanding the question right. This is what Immutable Linux distros do. Such as Nixos, fedora silver blue, and vanilla os.

I use nixos myself. But its quite different then most distros. The way you config it and install packages. For the better in my opinion.

Something like silverblue works pretty much the same as normal Fedora except you can’t install packages like you normally would. Because the system files can’t be edited. You mostly use flatpak for everything. Except the system updates. Which you have to reboot to switch to the new updated image. But past images are saved so you can rollback if needed.

From what I understand Chromebook os is a Immutable Linux distro same as the ones I mentioned. Just with Google with built in.

This headline would have had me over the moon and ready to move to the UK if it was still pre 2020 labor party.
