I’ve tried twice to make the move to VS Code and keep coming back to Emacs. I would often be overwhelmed by my obsession to tweak things (ADHD..) but switching to Doom Emacs and sticking to the standard config helped with that. Learning som

This looks great and I’ll definitely give it a spin when I get a chance. What I’d really like though is the ability to save the pages locally, I often revisit bookmarks from years ago only to find that the page no longer exists.

For what it’s worth I was a longtime KeepassXC user. Switched to Bitwarden to have easier shared passwords between myself and partner/family however I’m now moving back to KeepassXC. I support Bitwarden fully however the app itself is

Fedora on home desktop, Fedora on work Thinkpad. I’ve also got an M1 MacBook Air that I’m probably going to replace with a Framework laptop soon and run Fedora on that too. It’s just rock solid and any issues I do encounter I can easily fix

I love DDG but there’s still an awful lot of weird results. Just the other day I searched for a clothing brand and the first result wasn’t their homepage but someones saved wish list (something like “?wishlistid=someuid”). It was bizarre. I

Agreed. I often update (in Fedora) which causes Firefox to be restarted - never had any issues clicking the 'restart Firefox' button though which relaunches it and opens the last session, often opening dozens of older tabs without

What you’re referring to is the TV license fee and you’re not obliged to pay for it at all, you can simply opt out as outlined in the various letters you’ll receive if you don’t pay for it. It’s a deeply flawed system that many disagree wit

Exactly this. I have a big nostalgia for old school sysadmin ways of working, but just use Ansible. It’s beyond easy and can be as simple or complex as you like. I use containers on my home server (with podman) alongside a bunch of other se

During Covid lockdown online food shopping in my area (UK) became increasingly difficult to book delivery slots as they would fill up as soon as they became available. For most people who either owned a car or lived nearby a supermarket thi

You’re cherry picking a subset of people there. I imagine some view it with a sort of mild indifference, but there are people who are concerned about their own privacy from both government and big tech. I generally disregard any sentence th

I'd strongly recommend against a platform like Fiverr. I spent some time doing various odd DevOps and Linux jobs on there. I basically had to charge next to nothing for my services because the sheer amount of other people doing the sam

I have to disagree with this. I have endless issues switching the playback between my iPhone and HomePod, sometimes I’ll have to quit the app just to get the right device to play music. When I’m playing the song on my iPhone with playback o

Infuriating is a bit of a stretch. A mild annoyance at most.

+1 for Strongbox, one of the few apps I’m happy to pay for.

Thanks for reminding me of this, really great read! For a similar feel there’s a good short story by China Miéville called The Ball Pit.

There appears to be some heavy editing/removal of information going on with the Wikipedia page relating to her.

Not exactly. But, for me at least, reliability of my mail provider is just as important as them respecting my privacy. There are alternatives that I trust just as much as ProtonMail. For what it’s worth I’ve been a loyal customer since the

As a paying user I feel that the reliability of their services in recent months has been completely unacceptable for me. That combined with the ridiculously slow rollout of new products (will calendar ever be fully released?) has now made m

I’ve been using Monzo for around the same time and have had nothing but good things to say right up until they decided to start pushing their Premium/Plus accounts onto customers via in app ads. With all the rumours of them struggling

I’ve been a very happy ProtonMail customer for a number of years now. My only complaint, like many other people, is the wait for these new products to be released. I’ve been using the new UI since it was released, however it’s still in beta

I’m all for Emacs tips and tricks, but this just seems unnecessary. Using find-file (C-x C-f) along with tab completion to open your .bashrc or whatever is literally several key strokes. Does anyone really edit their shell config that often
