  • What are the current best ways to learn languages online?

    Jump

  • I like Anki for when I want to increase my vocab on words I actually need and am otherwise plateauing. I can take photos of the book, get an LLM to define the word in context, and record audio of my friends saying it if it's particularly tricky to pronounce. Then train on these flashcards to improve over time.

  • Linux Users- Why?

    Jump

  • Same. It's an OS not a lifestyle choice. Good OS though - two years now I think, and not complaints.

  • Docker Backup Stratagy

    Jump

  • I wouldn't backup the volumes directly. Better to use the mount points as you suggest then back up those mounted directories. If it's a database that usually needs to have its records exported into a backup friendly format. Typically I will do a db dump from a cron job in the host system to summon a script inside a container which writes to a mounted dir which is the thing that I back up.

  • Cloud storage solutions with Linux

    Jump

  • Jottacloud is pretty good. They have a Linux CLI too

  • Linux Users Switching Back to Linux

    Jump

  • Yeah that seems about right. Bunch of things that I wish were better but I am not going back. When I absolutely must there's a VM for that.

  • Atomic Heart 2 TBA on Steam

    Jump

  • I got half way through AH1 and just couldn't anymore. Combat was just insufferable and the dialogue was a slog too.

  • Peersuite is an opensource alternative to slack/discord

    Jump

  • This is a cool idea. We're not super happy with slack at work but I admit we haven't given matrix a proper go yet. Wish we could stop for like a year just to evaluate the stack and the toolset. I kid. Sort of.

  • Special Pleading

    Jump

  • Yeah I think I am doing the Stockholm syndrome thing too. But as the futo keyboard chap said: is the software you use serving your needs or the needs of the creators?

    Some things are indeed more difficult. But if it's a simple Python script even I can make a PR to help out. And the feeling of using software that isn't designed to send my data back to a megacorp is fucking awesome. So I'm in, I think?

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

    Jump

  • Probably ComicTagger https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

    I had been holding onto ComicRack for years and really loved it for scraping and generating tags before adding to Komga. I was a happy camper when i found ComicTagger.

  • Have You Checked On Your Wii U GamePad Battery Recently? | Time Extension

    Jump

  • Thanks for the heads up - my gamepad is still normal amounts of chonk.

    I think I had more fun with the WiiU than the switch. Mario 3D world, tropical freeze, Mario kart, splatoon, captain toad and botw. On switch I enjoyed metroid but can't think of anything else. Unfair comparison since I was different amounts of busy for each console, just surprised me how badly it sold.

  • Home Assistant Says Goodbye to 32-bit and Hacky Install Methods

    Jump

  • That's a good point - I think I have a USB SSD case somewhere

  • Home Assistant Says Goodbye to 32-bit and Hacky Install Methods

    Jump

  • I tried on docker but couldn't get the USB Z wave to pass through. Simpler for me to let it live on the pi (until the SD card dies and I forget how any of the HA config works and have to do it all again)

  • We all know how fanboys see each OS, but what about average users?

    Jump

  • For me too, on Summit

  • Come to the dark side no seriously we have cookies

    Jump

  • I spent ages trying to find this again because it makes me happy.

  • The Eight Winds Cannot Move Me

    Jump

  • It was the friends we made along the way

  • Why Vim Is More than Just an Editor – Vim Language, Motions, and Modes Explained

    Jump

  • After a decade of using the bare minimum vi modes I just yesterday discovered I could use visual mode to jointly indent multiple lines.

    I will still prefer pycharm every day of the week over vim, but yesterday I needed to modify code on a server and rebuild some docker containers. I couldn't be arsed setting up my local env, making a merge request etc and was pretty impressed that a combination of screen, vim, docker compose and git - all available via SSH, was a complete toolset for getting an emergency change deployed and an app running again.

  • SSH managers on Linux?

    Jump

  • that is cool. I hadn't tried konsole before - there are menus for days in here, I'll never get any work done lol. Slick, and makes that fedora kde fling I have been considering more tempting.

  • SSH managers on Linux?

    Jump

  • update to say that tabby is nice for ssh including key auth, and with profiles and groups it gets most of the job done. There is an sftp "plugin" but all it does is summon sftp. Will see if I can get it to open filezilla and use the env vars in calling the command. Setting aside RDP for now as guac looks like a good fit there.
