Yeah. Everytime I’m for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,…
But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.
Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅
Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.
Don’t get me wrong, that’s also janky, but it’s my fault jank.
I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were… seedy.
Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it’s worth it for German language audio IMO.
Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.
I have not had a failed download yet.
Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.
However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware “difficulties” with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won’t encounter driver issues.
(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the “Firsttime Linux Experience” if you do encounter them…)

Dang that’s impressive
Or disappointing, Idk
Vikunja seems to check all your boxes
You can even just do Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.
It somehow feels… Wrong, but it just works.
Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I’ll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don’t brick the device.
The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting… :D
Oh whoops I thought you were 0v0 🤦🏼♀️ Thanks anyways though :D
Hey, thanks, but that’s the A5x, a newer Android tablet. Different hard and software
Fantastic.
Since the zip also includes a bunch of shell scripts, I think it’s possible I could also just install ssh directly - but the image will certainly make experimenting in a VM the safer option until something works out… ^^
Oh man, I can’t wait to get home from work on Friday (currently stuck on the other side of the country 🫠)
Edit: also, can I somehow buy you a beer/coffee somewhere digitally?
No way!! You’re the goat. I spent the day trying to get behind how the cracking worked by making simple examples, and you just… Solve the puzzle :D
Awesoms, thank you so much!! I’ll appreciate update this thread if this leads to something :D
Theoretically… But this is 5 levels of knowledge above my head, I fear :D
I own the goddamn device, I should be able to do whatever I want with it…
The device, if connected, reads as mtp. Can’t reformat.
Yeah, good idea. They added a network “mirroring” functionality at some point, so SOMETHING is listening on some port.
Oh, wow. I am so giving this a try. Huge kudos for checking the zip itself, btw! Thank you :D
Just for clarification though, do I need 12 bytes of the original content or of the compressed (but unencrypted) byte-representation of the zip file?
Edit: Ah, the repo links the paper. Reading now :)
I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it’s literally all conspiracy theories, but that’s not true, there’s also some “sponsored” posts AKA ads sprinkled in.
What a sad joke.
If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same “free speech” benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.
Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that’s probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim “we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!” does make a great dogwhistle for “you can be a terrible human on here, don’t worry”
