Which operating system are you on? (Sometimes it's relevant, and you mention notepad++.)
On Linux, I like kate, but IDK if it has live html preview. I use it for Rust and general editing, not for web development admittedly.
I've raised this question a little while ago: https://lemmy.ml/post/47046615
My personal conclusion was to use BasicSync. It's a minimal wrapper around the upstream shared codebase of syncthing itself, and it's so far been very stable and reliable. Security-wise and in terms of risks of abandonment, this approach also makes sense for me. I use it since.
My personal basic tools for learning:
man bash. That's the documentation for everything. It's very careful and serious though, so sometimes you need...At my current level of experience I need mostly man bash, and occasionally all of the rest. Before I used a lot of stackoverflow and simply thinking of what I even want.
Ah, understood, thanks. I thought at first it's a quote.
Has anyone [of Lemmy/fediverse people here] independently confirmed the numbers? I'm not an investor though, just curious.
Sorry, but where are you quoting from? It seems to be neither from mullvad's last post, nor from the linked blog of Daniel Berntsson.
Hey, yeah, shit like that happens in life. The jokes about that from your friends are understandable but inconsequential. After all, you probably love Linux not because everything is plug-and-play here, but because it's free and customizable (and you can set up a lot of things to be plug-and-play, too, if that's what you want).
By the way, heads-up on connecting Android phones for file exchange: those require the MPT driver, too. Some distros/desktop environments ship it out-of-the-box, some don't.
And last thought from a social angle. With experience of using Linux and talking with other people in the last ~18 years, I would recommend not to advertise Linux, to yourself or to others, as a system that "can do everything that Windows can". That's just not true. Some stuff Windows can do that Linux cannot, some stuff Linux can do that Windows cannot. For me it worked best to get people interested in Linux if I:
Don't push hard. I answer any inquiries eagerly, but I leave people the space to stay where they are. If they believe something is really good for them, I let them have it. Good advertising moments come themselves when people themselves note that they're actually lacking something.
I teach, and more rarely do I just do something directly. I've noticed this keeps people engaged longer. "Don't give the fish, teach how to fish".
Sometimes it's fun to share the awesome things you can do in Linux. And many people don't know that all the routers, Android phones and servers are near-100% Linux. Learning that impresses them and seems count towards "good reputation" for the system in their eyes, too. (And it's a true fact.)
I've noticed that *not using* youtube for a while gets you ublocked, too. Which is only good, if you think about it. Most often (even if not always), your days will get a bit healthier, and the lifting of the block is only a bonus when you really need that rare video, too.
I haven't found other solutions or tricks; nor have I tried after I've realised that this one works. I take it as a "hint" from google, to get away from the screen (YT) for a few days.
I'll skip discussions about my persona. But most certainly golf courses or video games have orders of magnitude lower impact on electricity and watee than worldwide LLMs (mostly in datacenters).
Your access to a popular and commercial fork might be non-existent. You would maybe not even mind that they're selling your code - possibly just wanting to tune it a bit, since you know how it used to work. But the fork can decide they're proprietary and they won't give you any source code.
I feel ya. To me, it's really sad that some new projects now use licenses that are really good for businesses but do not even protect the projects themselves. I'd rather live in a world where GPL share would increase. (Instead, GPL grows, but its share is diminishing.) All my projects so far are GPL/AGPL.
At the same time, Rust being picked for Linux has really nothing to do with the license. It's just what you said - a coincidence. The actual choice is made because of the language itself. It's a great language BTW.
Currently, LLMs impact on electricity usage and fresh water usage across the world is HUGE.
The painful part to me is the choice on where to put the stress. Which areas to highlight and talk about.
Yes some weak LLMs can use comparatively little electricity. Yes some other industries use electricity, generate CO2 and consume fresh water, too. But the existence of other problems, to me, does not mean that eco impact of LLMs should be swept under the rug.
Which syncthing app is recommended nowadays? Does anyone know their trade-offs? The screenshot is from F-Droid, with the first three on the list updated quite recently.
I'm mostly interested in reputation, stability and no additional security overhead compared to upstream Syncthing project. (But still auto-disabled sync when on low battery, or without WiFi.)
And a reminder. The old Syncthing Android is out-of-date for 17 months now. Repeating this a little bit in case someone didn't notice yet.
Hi! How do I disable search with the address bar?
When I type things in the address bar, I want it resolved as a URL and never sent to a search engine. (If I do want to search something, I prefer to use the bar on the right.)
How can I achieve this in LibreWolf?
UPDATE: solution by @hobata below works. You need to set keyword.enabled to false in about:config. Or you need to create a file ~/.librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg and write defaultPref("keyword.enabled", false); in it.
Just found this design and I think it's totally awesome. The new super-small switch PG1316M is used to fit 3 rows into such a constrained space.
Wonder if you could even get away with 4 rows of this, especially to somewhat compensate for the lack of thumb keys? I'd personally be interested to try 4 rows even for a more conventional tabletop keyboard.
EDIT: I have accidentally erased the main URL when I tried to upload a picture. Apologies. (Didn't know Lemmy works this way). Here's the main URL for this thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/comments/1npnj85/btyp_a_mini_pg1316m_switch_keyboard_for_use_on_a/
JXL = JPEG XL file viewer for Android recommendations? The format is not natively supported by Android yet, it seems. However, apps could still support JXL. Which ones would you recommend for viewing the photos?
Note: this question has been asked before on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jpegxl/comments/xh72kl/jxl_file_viewer_for_android/
I'm re-asking here for a rather FOSS perspective.
