Seconding magit, emacs is an awesome ecosystem well worth learning, and magit is fantastic. I recommend doom emacs - the greatness of vim keybinds for editing with the greatness of the emacs ecosystem

The lawsuit started in 2014, Zynga basically flipped off IBM and kept using the patented tech even during litigation, even making more games that use it. It’s not even that they couldn’t use the technology, they just refused to pay the license fees to use it in order to maximize their profit.

I’m a big supporter of FOSS software, but if a company invests billions of dollars to make some technology, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to charge a license for other companies to use it for their own profit

On an extra note, I actually switched to slskd (since writing that comment earlier today)because the nicotine app bugs me sometimes (it’s just the app ran in a VM), so far I like it

Protonvpn lets you port forward. I use docker and have a gluetun container that connects to protonvpn, all of my other docker containers for sailing the high seas (arr suite, qbittorrent, sabnzbd, soulseek client, etc) are routed through it and I have port forwarding setup to the ones that need it. For soulseek I use nicotine-plus-docker, all traffic is routed through the gluetun container, the port is forwarded, and a bit shy of 700 gb uploaded since March so I can confirm it works well.

I don’t think the protonvpn Linux client supports port forwarding yet so only docker things can do it right now afaik, but anything I want permanently through VPN runs in docker anyway

I occasionally have issues with posting comments on proton VPN, but it’s inconsistent

Pickling and canning is better than refrigeration - until opened

My CTO thoroughly believes that within 4-6 years we will no longer need to know how to read or write code, just how to ask an AI to do it. Coincidentally, he also doesn’t code anymore and hasn’t for over 15 years.

I don’t believe that he cares

I use librewolf (and have for a while) the extra privacy really isn’t intrusive, there are some sites that don’t work correctly, on it, but I just open up regular Firefox and throw the URL there if that’s the case.

The only thing I don’t like is how long it takes to build whenever there’s an update. I only update it 1-2 times a month but it’s still a 20-30 minute process each time

sounds of the fan for a raspberry pi running pihole begin to filter through the background noise ya’ll allow ads on your network?

In cyberpunk 2077 they have posters, messages, and emails about a game called “no life 3” - including that it is finally almost going to be released in 2077 after a very long wait since no life 2

I personally use lidarr to download and picard to tag, but use plex/plexamp to listen locally and on my phone

There are an infinite number of solutions, 42 is in at least one of them

Seconding (thirding) logseq! Your daily journals all show up in one long scrollable page (delimited by the date and such) so you can easily see what happened previous days, etc. If you click one it brings up that page in full screen if you want to focus on it, it works very nicely imo.

You also aren’t limited to just journaling, you can use it for a pkm system. Say that you journal for that day about learning something, you can do this:

• Today I looked into [[eulers_formula]] ** Created by Leonard Euler ** e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x) ** Etc

When you go to the eulers_formula page, all of that info will be in the links section without having to leave the page. I personally do all that, then write my own summary of the info on the page itself, so I have the original content and my take on it.

It’s also fully foss, you can pay for their sync service to have it available on multiple devices all the time and it’s fully encrypted in transit so they can’t see your info, I personally just use syncthing and haven’t run into any issues using it on my phone and computer unless you try to modify the same file at the same time (which isn’t really something you would ever do)

I definitely think so (plus I think it’s a great game now, even though it was hot garbage at launch). The continuing updates are 100% a labor of love at this point, I’m sure they still sell more copies each update, but not enough to justify the cost if they weren’t wanting to work on it. I love me a good labor of love game.

They’ve also been working on Light No Fire for ~6 years at this point so they’ve been doing more than just making new content for NMS this whole time

There’s plenty to do - it’s just sandbox based. There are some questlines you can do, but it’s largely meant to be an exploration sandbox game, not something that you’re constantly rushing from quest to quest with everything scripted out linearly or have a clear end game, the end game is to do whatever you want

Games were over hyped, released buggy, and lacking a ton of features long before no mans sky, nms was just one of the most over hyped - it’s also by far the biggest redemption since it now has significantly more content than was ever promised at launch, and all of it has come free instead of in a ton of dlc’s or with monetization

Unicorne by boardsource is similar, it’s the same layout but wired (all usb-c) and supports joysticks if that’s your thing

It’s not a web app (not certain why op requested that bit), but it is on any platforms that you would want to use it on (iOS, Android, windows, Mac, and Linux all have it)

You can pay for logseq sync to sync files across all your devices, but I personally just use syncthing to keep it even more private (love me some good privacy-respecting foss)

Plover can make any keyboard work as a steno board, haven’t messed around with it since early covid, but it’s great foss software
