Trent@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"English7·9 months agoJust commenting to give more love to helix. It’s my favorite “small quick edits” editor.
Trent@lemmy.mlto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Lemmy is losing the war against reddit. How do we change things?English31·9 months agoWhat war? And I’m pretty fine with much of the people on reddit staying there. They’re a good part of why I came here.
Trent@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•PeerTube mobile app : discover videos while caring for your attentionEnglish7·9 months agoIt’s pretty good for very early software. A bit more work and I’d probably use it.
Trent@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Operating System do you prefer to use the most and why?English1·10 months agoLinux on desktop, server, and laptop. Windows VM for a few things. Android on my phone and kindle.
Trent@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some consumer electronics you probably shouldn't tinker with?English80·10 months agoAnything with large capacitors?
Trent@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is it possible to reverse engineer a site/site page that can only be accessed through Internet Archive?English91·10 months agoLooks like a steam game page to me. What’s missing?
Xfce. It does what I want it to do and little else.
Trent@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you pick Florida or Hawaii for a beach vacation in Dec - Jan?English331·10 months agoHawaii. I used to live in Florida and while it has some pretty places and neat things, most of it is generic grubby little towns, trailer parks and lots and lots of rednecks. And most of isn’t very tropical.
Plus, Hawaii has volcanoes, which are always cool.
YMMV.
Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.
RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.
Xfce. Partly because I’ve used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.
Been pretty good. I only use a few of the things they provide but it’s all worked well. The android app is sort of janky because it’s mostly several other apps, but I don’t blame them for not developing a shiny app for their service.
Mostly I sync contacts, some nextcloud stuff, and use their XMPP server.
It apparently doesn’t like me using a VPN. 🤷♂️
Actually not what? And yes, I know. Apparently they think that’s a bad fit for the thing they’re doing. If you disagree, it’s open source, fork it and implement it.
It’s doing fine? I don’t use their email so I can’t speak about that, but… Did you have any specific questions?
Or maybe they just think it’s a bad idea? Personally, I do too.
If there’s a community here for something and it’s active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.
Trent@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?English13·11 months agoTwo pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper… Not sure how terrible it is, but I don’t generally serve it to others because it’s very messy.
I just run a shaarli instance on an old laptop and keep all my bookmarks there and just access it from where/whatever.
