I record events of the day, daily. Going on a year now. Just a quick jot of the most eventful thing of the day. Nice to look back and remember things that happened through out the year.

Use an app called “Daily You” in F-droid to help me organize it all, if anyone is interested.

Since you can’t really taste or smell, your best bet will be to follow recipes and hope for the best. Approach cooking like a science. Measure at all points during the process. Measure out all the ingredients and prepare then ahead of cooking them. When cooking meats, use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the meat to make sure they are cooked.

Its always better to undersalt things than over salt. You can always add more salt but can’t remove it. You can pre salt things and hour before and this will help even out the saltiness of most things.

Raccoon for Lemmy on Android also has the ability to search within communities. Can’t recall if Eternity does also.

This is unfortunate, but at the rate we are currently going this might come into fruition. 😢

They have their own thing I believe. Have to use Putty for SSH.

Is OpenSuse tumbleweed worth checking out? Something fairly stable and good for gaming.

I have been using Pop-OS for the longest but recently got newer hardware and therefore waiting for the new version to get more stable. Using bazzite meanwhile. Immutable distro is interesting but not sure if I like it.

Magic wormhole? Never used it myself personally.

If you have them as a contact already in SimpleX, then why not.

I get a blank screen. Broken or does that mean I have none? On GrapheneOS

Data engineering. Quite a change from my undergrad path.

Mint, pop_os, even Ubuntu if needed.

Maybe brazzite but haven’t tried it.

I’m not from the south and use “y’all” all the time. Find it very useful for filling in a gap that English has and slightly faster than saying “you all”. Its gender neutral in my opinion.

Never once thought of it as offensive.

Localsend is a good one to try out. Works with all devices and is pretty fast. It does however require an app to run.

For something you can run off the web on PC you can try pairdrop. This doesn’t require an app to work on PC. Haven’t tried it without the app on mobile so not sure if it will work on there via web.

I prefer Localsend over pairdrop due to local send being completely server less and all local.

Whatever you can afford for pixel 8 and above, if possible. Those will be supported for longer.

Its good if everything you need can run from Kodi. It uses its own Linux distribution in the background, so you won’t really be able to install anything else unless you build it.

I would avoid anything built into the TV.

1. Its starting to be used for spying on you
2. The chip they come with are usually not that good unless it’s a high end TV.
3. They are building ads right into the TV themselves.

I would not connect the TV to the internet and use a external media player. Either a Nvidia shield or an Apple TV is your best bet.

You can also try building a media player yourself using a small computer.

Note - The self made media player will be more limited in terms of apps available, unfortunately, as well as streaming quality from some of the streaming services.

You can probably do some more advance tasks via CLI. Also usually lists information faster. But honestly you will be overall fine with GUI a majority of the time.

Some people just like being in the terminal.

I think you are confusing private with anonymous. One can be private without being anonymous.

Its due to compression of the video in order to fit on a MMS message, which is very small. Android uses RCS as a new message standard that can send bigger files but Apple has yet to add it to their OS. Its similar to how Apple uses iMessage to do the same, however this is not a standard and is locked to only apple devices.

Apple is supposedly adding support for RCS during the new iOS update but until then you can use a different messaging app to send better/larger files.

I recommend Signal as it is easy to sign up and start using while also being private.

You should be fine doing what you want on Linux. Just make sure everything works before installing completely. There is a liveUSB mode that let’s you try it before you install.

Mint and PoP os are good ones to try.

Can also check out Zorin os which is pretty good too but doesn’t update as often.

Signal is probably the simplest to get started with.

There is also element/matrix for more of a discord type feel.

SimpleX if you want something more anonymous.
