I would have thought finding Hitler unlikeable would be a positive attribute ? Was that a typo ?

Orwell was a socialist so making lists of leftists seems surprising; are you sure this wasn’t an ideological tankies vs socialists or marxists vs trotskyists ?

Deleting. Explained in above link to article crunchy to alt-right pipeline

It’s a fairly far-right instance, which makes it unpopular with many left-leaning members of the fediverse

As a centrist I’m not a big fan of the far right. You don’t have to be left wing to think fascism is bad

Liar, I shot first. You were third

Windscribe at $3 per month is slightly cheaper and less dodgy than PIA. I left PIA for Mullvad when Kape bought them. They’re very questionable based on my (then) research.

Something is very wrong here, I’ve literally restored dozens of times with timeshift and never had it go wrong like this.

Restart the timeshift restore sequence checking very carefully the parameters (you dont have to complete, just go back into it). It should show you a list of what it wants to restore (on the second screen iirc) have a look at that for anything strange (like there not being any files listed to restore for example)

My dude I’ve been running Linux for literally 20+ years and I still don’t feel like I know anything.

Carry on bumbling along doing your best, it’s all everyone else is doing.

You’ve got this

Nice one. Just installed it on android as fritter is dead.

I can’t seem to see how to save/bookmark accounts though - is it not available or am I being dim ?

Thanks for the link. So it was the app and extension not the search engine.

Mint is an excellent starting point, and there’s good reasons to use flatpaks. If it works for you use it until it doesn’t.

Quite the opposite, after fiddling with it for six months I fully uninstalled flatpak and deleted the directory to get away from the fact it kept downloading copies of nvidia drivers when I had moved to an AMD a year ago, and the drivers were locked from being manually removed even after I uninstalled all flatpak packages.

I’m an Arch user, trust me when I say I read the documentation.

After wasting hours on it I nuked it.

It’s the AMD GPUs that are much better performing on linux than NVidia. My primary reason for choosing an AMD CPU was bangs for bucks.

Yeah. They stopped using sms a few months ago but divorcing from phone numbers is who knows when

Fwiw I use BAUH on Arch as a graphical package updater which normally works well. Paru is easy to use on the cli

Opt out or mandatory telemetry collection may impact you perhaps ? That’s on the table right now

Ingredients list is compulsory in UK, but water doesnt need to be listed. So the mince above is only allowed to be beef/pork/whatever you’re not allowed to advertise it as beef mince if there’s anything else in it, but they don’t have to state how much they’ve pumped it up with water.

Having said that beef doesn’t retain water like chicken and pork does, it’s the latter two that are most commonly injected with water. Not sure what the science is on that as to why.

It forwarding opens a port direct to your system from the vpn ip.

So if your internet address at your router to your ISP is 1.1.1.1(which NATs it to your PC address on your lan) and the vpn exit address is say 10.10.10.10

Then when you port forward a port, say 443 (you wouldnt) then any request to 10.10.10:443 would then go to 1.1.1.1:443 and then to your pc on your lan.

In short it allows a direct connection through the vpn

Edit

Technically that’s slightly incorrect,

packet goes on 10.10.10.10:443 but it goes to the PC directly through the vpn tunnel. The port it goes through the 1.1.1.1 router to the PC on could be anything, it won’t necessarily be 443. It will be whatever the vpn is set to use

That’s interesting - is it only mods who can see that or is there a publicly viewable way ? If mods only is it mods of any federated server or just your “home” instance ?

I run Mint 20.3 on a 10 year old laptop with 8gb with absolutely no problems for the basic stuff I do with it. Upgrading the hdd to an ssd made a huge improvement though.

I would however suggest you install mint 21 (current version)

The only reason the above laptop is on an older version is I’m worried about what I’m going to break if I do (I have a bunch of “non standard” stuff on it) and it currently just works and is still in support…so if it ain’t broke…
