vipaal@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?10·2 months agoThe pleasure of being understood is underrated
- Simon Baker portraying Patrick Jane in The Mentalist
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Firefox@lemmy.ml•In the wake of Mozilla's TOS kerfuffle, is it time to ditch *****FF Relay*****?1·2 months agoTIL of IronFox 👍 Any chances F-Droid or FFUpdater can list it as well? Also, ironically, with enhanced tracking protection, JShelter, privacy badger, uscript origin on Fennec, https://ironfoxoss.org/ opens a blank page.
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Arguments for Signal over Whatsapp, Messenger, and SnapChat4·3 months agoI tried arguing along similar lines. Failed and fell flat on my face when it came to history. There’s so much chat history on WhatsApp for instance that without a way to port it all over to Signal, near impossible if that to bring people over.
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I don't know why but I find the term "October Surprise" to be quite amusing? Do you?1·7 months agoTIL 👍
The first thing that came to my mind is perhaps October Surprise is something pleasant and giving a feeling of relief after Eternal September
New Shepard (of Blue Origin that dick shaped space flight in which Jeff Bezos took off for his first mission)
Answering the question with a counter question
Why do we ask a question whilst already knowing its answer?
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?38·9 months agoStart listening to Dr Michael Greger. You’ll thank yourself at 40.
When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.
Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.
If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Linux@lemmy.ml•A local database with a command line interface? (sqlite?)1·9 months agoTangential answer. Consider looking into Prolog, Picat, Mercury languages. You can effectively let the database design be taken care of by the language. In return you get more time to reflect on your knowledge base and ask it all sorts of questions and get a range of possible answers.
Org-roam and its web cousin webnotes both have solved designing the database for note taking purpose using g sqlite as a back end. Good options.
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Linux@lemmy.ml•How can I go about using the tty only on my system21·10 months agoByobu provides good abstraction on tmux as well as screen. Allows you to choose keybindings from any of the two.
From what I can see on the F-Droid description, Focus connects to iTunes, presumably in addition to the same places Antenna does, for podcast search indexing
A few months ago I blindly copied the hosts file from https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist as I was used to on BSD and Linux systems. It bricked Windows. Turns out that I had to use the installer script for Windows. Realised too late. That was my final goodbye to the Redmond giant.
For running a walled garden with iron grip, Apple allows copying the hosts file. Which I use for things like certification exams and any governmental agency stuffs.
Bash as it is what I’m most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.
Indeed, haste makes waste
https://www.revi.cc/ – found this on another post here. Not sure how to link the post itself, so linking what the post wanted to share. This aims to debloat Windows, and is free and open source.
https://www.byobu.org/ can eschew both screen and tmux Mosh (the mobile SSH client, not linking here) if installing it on the remote server is an option

mv
,rm
or other commands on the terminal or through a GUI, with or withoutsudo
untilsudo chattr -R -i /path/to/directory
is performed
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Linux@lemmy.ml•[Solved] Possible to lock a folder? To prevent it from being deleted.7·11 months agoI think looking into
man chattr
is a good option for this
vipaal@aussie.zoneto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Stardard FOSS Way to Send/Recieve SMS from Laptop/Desktop?35·1 year agoBeen a few years since using Emacs extensively. From memory, IRC is a good fit for what you are after for texts and some emojis. No clue regarding multimedia messages.
If IRC is acceptable
Make your own channel on say, Libera chat, set your own rules for how long those messages are retained. Make a user for each of your devices. You are set. I’ve used ERC a few years under Emacs. Also used GNUS for reading and writing emails from the big providers.
Not a biology or medicine expert by any stretch of imagination. Would a study of their bloodlines reveal anything?
