Yes. I have an NVME as my OS drive but most of my home directory (Documents, Videos, Pictures, Music, etc.) is on an older large data HDD. My .config and anything else is still on the NVME. I use fstab to mount the directories automatically.
And why I replaced my phone with a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS straight away.
My single longest install of Linux was 6 years and only ended because I built a new PC. Windows I generally reinstalled at least every two years. I couldn’t stand how slow it got.
Hello from another Loki variant!
I stopped using it when I learned they censor search results. My beliefs aligned with theirs but I don’t want a search that’s censored. I’m adult enough that I can decide for myself what links I will or won’t click on.
Now I’m imagining an angry Gentoo penguin snapping at fingers any time someone wants to use their PC 😅
Ironfox for Android
Long time Firefox user. Installed Librewolf today and so far so good. I used Firefox sync to get all my settings, bookmarks, open tabs, etc. back. At some point I will probably find an alternative yo Firefox sync but it’ll do for the time being.
I’ve switched to a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS as part of my continuing deGoogle. Thanks for this, its further ideas to work on. One recommendation I would add however is that people use Obtainium instead of F-droid. This article is a pretty goof summary of why: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
Its definitely more friction to get apps installed but once they are installed, I find Obtainium better for automatic updates than F-droid.
I started out on Cinnamon (via Mint). Although I have used Ubuntu many moons ago but despised Gnome and never touched it since. After Mint In went to Arch where I DE hopped for many years. I tried XFCE (didn’t like the visual inconsistences); Openbox - liked and loved for quite a while as a minimalist setup; Mate - too old looking so didn’t last; Deepin - lasted a very long time because I loved it so much but eventually stopped because they changed the design too much to be link Windows; Budgie which lasted a little while and was the next closest to what Deep in provided. Was too immature at the time to be enjoyed long term; Pantheon - I still love Pantheon. It’s consistent, polished and cohesive. To me a perfect blend of nice looking, minimal and functional. Stopped using because I got tired of having to fix it on Arch; Finally KDE. It’s what I’ve been using for several years now because it just works, it looks nice, it’s very customisable (I can make my desktop look similar to Pantheon), I like the integration and ecosystem of apps, it has great support and devs that listen… I’m yet to have a DE tempt me away from it. Not even Cosmic lol.
It’s a known bug. Basically the game thinks you’ve gotten stuck and is trying to unstuck you by teleporting you above ground. 😬
Or buy a Kobo instead and it just works. Bonus, no money to Amazon at all.
If that is the case, that’s a weird way to think. I mean, if I was using Windows and one app stopped working, I wouldn’t blame that on Windows, I would just assume an issue with that particular app being incompatible with an update. 🤷🏻♀️ At least, my definition of my system breaking is either it won’t boot at all, or it won’t boot into the DE. Even then, not booting could be a broken bootloader (not a broken system) which is usually straightforward to fix.
Almost a decade for me (on CachyOS currently) and I also have no idea how people are breaking their systems so much. In that decade, I think my system broke twice due to an update hiccup and both times were easy to fix.
Technology and servers can get messed up. You are relying on software and hardware to keep stuff safe when the reality is it could fall over tomorrow and all your chat will be gone. Important info should be recorded elsewhere and backed up if need be. Just like in the old days before online chat existed. We survived just fine then and we can survive again without having 14 years of chat history or whatever.
Personally I always turn disappearing messages on in Signal. If my phone or computer was ever broken into, in would rather the perpetrators not have years of personal info and photos shared between my friends and family to do the gods know what with.
You know that many vets and universities get kick backs or receive funding from kibble companies right? I was training to be a vet nurse (I have the prerequisite qualification and only reason I didn’t finish was because my disability worsened and I was unable to do the clinic hours) so I’m not just some rando giving advice… We switched our cats to raw food a decade ago and they have never been healthier. Cats are obligate carnivores and in the wild they eat almost nothing but raw meat (a little vegetable matter in the guts of their prey and eating grass, etc). Cats have evolved over millennia to eat raw meat. Their physiology is not adapted to eat the high amounts of carbohydrates in kibble. Not to mention the high rates of kidney disease, diabetes, dental disease, etc. with feeding kibble. Kibble is a species inappropriate diet no different from humans eating junk food. For the same reasons humans get diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. from eating junk food, cats suffer poor health eating kibble. The kibble industry is a billion dollar industry with a vested interest in keeping vets and pet owners hooked. If you can’t feed raw, feed wet. Its not ideal, bit it’s far better than kibble. Your kitty deserves better than the bs the kibble industry spouts.
EDIT: While I’m thinking about it, do not feed cats beef. It is one of the single biggest contributors to allergies. Small cats eat small prey and cows are definitely not small. Again, their physiology is not designed to handle digesting meat from large animals. Beef is allergenic to cats.
Are you OK? The Thought Police haven’t made DISCUSSING or TALKING about piracy illegal yet.
Maybe its a shared device that kids also use? We have a laptop that’s shared amongst everyone and I constantly come back to finding random desktop wallpapers from Minecraft to Undertale to Pokemon and I think the latest is Transformers related lol.
