I have 6 domain renewal notices sitting in my Spam folder now.
Another recent one has been notices supposedly from my email provider saying it’s time to renew. That one almost got me.
I really wish GPG signing of emails had actually taken off. Would have solved this type of problem completely.
For your laptop, might give Thunderbird a go. It’s old school but it still works well.
Gee! Who could have predicted that! /s
Personally, Iranians hacking a bunch of computer systems are probably the least of our worries now. Jim Salter posted an image that makes a good analogy. https://fosstodon.org/@jimsalter/114730060651034011
Nowadays, Apple is only really big for digital music if you are (or were) already really deep in their ecosystem. Not sure I’ve heard of any devices that play nice with their DRM in a while and last I had looked (admittedly many years ago) they did not have a compatible app for Android.
Apple music was bigger back 15 or 20 years ago for digital downloads due in large part to the iPod, though I occasionally hear of some odd band or another that only releases their stuff on iTunes.
And since this is a linux community, as a heads up, iTunes is only marginally functional, last I heard, in linux. Apparently it can’t detect connected devices. You’ll probably need a Windows or Mac system to run iTunes if you want to go that route.
For CDs, Amazon, ebay, or discogs. Digital music I usually get from the artist’s webstore if possible, otherwise I’ll buy it from Amazon or BandCamp.
One heads up, Buying and downloading digital music from Amazon is a pain in the butt if you have an Amazon Music subscription. Easy and straightforward though without.
Apple music is also possible but you have to burn the tracks to CD using itunes to move it out of Apple’s ecosystem.
I also hear good things about Tidal but I’ve never used them.
Micro or Kate. My needs are simple. Occasionally if I need something more capable, I’ll use VScode
Isn’t that basically SyncThing? I thought it was BitTorrent under the hood.
I tend to change volumes to bind mounts. Makes it easier to backup or move the service.
Might want to avoid using relative paths with bind mounts and declare the full path. It has caused me headaches before.
Somehow I don’t believe them.
I use a text editor called micro for most writing tasks. It’s simple enough that it doesn’t distract me, but flexible enough that I can use it for most things. Creative writing, code, notes all the same application.
Before I heard of micro, I was just using nano. Same thing, different key bindings. Though until recently I didn’t know it could be setup to show line numbers. Which is why I liked micro when I found it.
Thank you for your contributions!
The screenshot in the readme suggests it does, but I couldn’t say for myself. I’m not that rich.
My last laptop was an HP Stream. Crappy laptop, but it had a touchscreen. It worked fine whenever I remembered that it had a touch screen. I didn’t have to set anything up, it was just automagicly setup for me on Ubuntu. Couldn’t tell you how responsive it was and that laptop would have been a poor benchmark anyways, but if I touched a button or scrolled the screen, it would do the thing.
Sorry, I’m old. Prefer a physical keyboard to a screen keyboard any day.
nvtop will show you what processes are using your GPU.
So… It’s a password book? Like, pen and paper?Not the best choice for storing passwords, but I’d be more willing to do that than trusting Amazon not to hold my passwords hostage with a digital service by them.
