Ohh you mean the “pay for every little thing” -feature? Dang I really liked that

Why?

Didn’t look at the article but ya if you want to leverage SEDs then LUKS is the way to go.

JXL is based.

Holy cow that’s long

What if I don’t want to do anything?

When installing an encrypted Arch system, I couldn’t figure out how to change the keymap in GRUB stage 1, which asks for the passphrase and then decrypts /boot. I just entered my passphrase with the default en-us keymap without really knowing what characters it outputs.

While those are valid concerns, it’s not really hard to see why people use VPNs. Just look at how companied and countries abuse the internet, abuse us.

This is literally the only app I miss from my window$ days. And they fucked up that too

Today I thought it was Monday when I woke up. Realizing it’s actually Wednesday was like skipping two days (of existence) for free!

The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.

I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.

I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.

That’s your own fault for not starting from the upper left corner

Robot vacuums. Some of them you can root and install the opensource Valetudo.

This reminds me of QT’s signal/slot system. I.e. instead of calling functions directly, you just emit a signal and then any number of functions may have the receiving slot enabled.

Lot’s of similar systems in other frameworks too I’m sure.

If markdown fulfills your formatting needs, then there’s no beating it in terms of focus and simplicity. Use whatever text editor you like. My recommendation would be Kate. It supports previewing the rendered document in side by side view.

I’m a shell user too, but as a programming language I would rate Bash utter garbage. Fine for little piping but for longer scripts I will be reaching for Haskell.

What’s so wrong with fstab?

Ay this is a funny meme and all but insulting the best linux documentation available was unnecessary

In tools like lsblk? Nope. They appear as directories, usually in the top-level subvolume, which typically isn’t mounted anywhere in the system.

Then you just create mount entries in /etc/fstab just like you would with partitions, this time just using the subvol= option as mentioned above. I don’t know if there are any installers that do this for you. Archwiki – as usual – has good documentation on this.
