  • more questions about yt-dlp arguments on debian (excluding av1, aborting an active download not shutting the terminal down)

    Jump

  • thank you for pointing that out, corrected.

    what happens on my computer: on a terminal, I press ctrl+c but the process keeps working, yt-dlp keeps downloading. As said, the only way to stop it is to shut the tab down (or htop and kill)

  • what's the deal with flatpak's organic maps downloading the whole world all at once, not even offering the user an option to cancel it or to choose what maps to download? (debian 12.11)

  • Thanks. I appreciate.

  • Are you positive it’s all the maps or maybe just the world map overview?

    yes, I'm sure. It started downloading every.single.country.

    look at the fork of OrganicMaps called CoMaps

    what's the difference? because graphics and functions look exactly the same for both apps, except the project's icon. Am I missing something?

  • how can I route all my traffic through tor on debian 12.6?

    Jump

  • You point your main active network interface gateway to a tor gateway or proxy.

    Am I doing that editing the privoxy config file with this line?

    'forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:9050 .'

    I now set up tor for firefox manually using https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Tor-with-Firefox. If the edited privoxy cofig file is the right way to go, didn't I just double torify?

  • how can I route all my traffic through tor on debian 12.6?

  • how does carburetor work? Do I simply activate it and that means all my traffic goes through tor? just like that? even if I open a terminal and sudo apt update, flatpak or yt-dlp something?

  • thanks for posting such a detailed answer.

    about the different debian versions: I don't know which one I should try first:

    I found debian mac 12.5 netinst https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/ and I'm giving it a try.

    Shouldn't that work, I'll try one of the live cds https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/

    I paste the links to check if I have the right version

    Incidentally, the data size difference is so surprising: 0.66 GB (debian mac netinst) against 3.17 GB (debian live). Can I have something in between?

  • model is a MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz, model A1502 (EMC 2875), Retina Mid-2014 13" with an embedded SSD

    Incidentally, I got the notebook as a present, got rid of mac OS and installed xubuntu 23.10 on it. Some mac OS users mean this company deliberately slows down old computers so users feel compelled to buy something newer. Can it be that’s why this notebook is so slow? I didn’t do anything fancy to install xubuntu, just used the whole space to install from a usb stick so I wonder if some residual software is still present.

    I'm not going to spend any money upgrading any part of this notebook: not much bang for my buck and the model is most probably not supported anymore.

  • makes sense, but I don't understand why LMDE is marked as 6 when the newest stable debian is 12.5 (same applies to linux mint and ubuntu, now at 24.4) shouldn't it be LMDE 12 or 12.5?

  • Can I get LMDE with xfce instead of cinnamon? And more LMDE questions

    Jump

  • However, if you want XFCE, is there a reason you don’t want to use Linux Mint 21.3 with XFCE?

    I'm still unsure about the differences: LMDE is based on debian, the OS I now use the most, whereas LM (linux mint) is based on ubuntu. Several posters have argued that LMDE, like debian, is barebones, whereas LM is ideal for an end user with not much idea about linux, but my main issue is speed: I don't want the notebook to be painfully slow: this is a notebook with an Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz (2 cores, 4 threads) with 8 GB RAM and installing and upgrading on xubuntu 23.10 was already really, painfully slow.

    I either save on resources using a lightweight DE like xfce or using a barebones OS like LMDE

    I also want to future proof it as much as possible, which would mean using the OS/DE that uses less resources.
