Yeah same, even though some sites would probably forbid me because of GDPR. Not that I’d want to visit those

So I can in theory just do apt install nix-shell (or whatever), do something like nix-shell -p curl and then curl just works?

For me personally, I just haven’t taken any steps into the nix environment. Seems rather complex, setting up those nix files and stuff.

I use Debian on servers and LMDE on my PC, most things I need are in the Debian repos and for other cases I get by pretty good with appimage s and flatpaks. Installing is just a simple command and me happy.

Nixpkgs are probably easy too, I assume. I know a lot of people really like nix, but the effort required to start seems significant to me, especially when we have other methods that just work.

I mean, with that ability you are basically a hivemind. And if playing Stellaris has taught me anything, it is that more pops are always good.

Personally, anime and manga are those with Japanese sources. The definition is not really clear here.

Codeberg is a German non profit iirc, I host some stuff there but most is on my personal Forgejo.

The Forgejo devs (mostly centered on Codeberg) are also the ones pushing for federalized code forges (I open a PR on your git server from mine and so on)

The new version is not yet in fdroid as it seems, looking forward to it

I open neovim at morning and close it at evening. It’s not so hard, my advice would be to do the vim tutor, built in.

Open vim and type :Tutor and press enter.

Good you say it. Smoking really drives people away. I’m a non smoker and never will, I’m seeking distance whenever someone in my proximity smokes.

That includes smoking 2: electric boogaloo (vaping) too, even though it doesn’t smell as bad.

Plugin support is a huge thing, obsidian does this so good. Also, tags are pretty cool, not sure if logseq has them. Do I remember correctly that Logseq does not store your stuff in a pure mix of markdown and directories, or was that another App?

Why would it not work? I use neovim.

You might be right, oopsie

I just do flatpaks install something and it finds a few packages named something and let’s me chose. What else do we need, besides flatpaks being more cli friendly?

Cool post, didn’t know about jq and seq. Keep the learning up! Your little series is really nice here.

I also went ahead and set myself up a gitea instance on my server for when I’m ready to create repositories for myself for my scripts and dotfiles

A little question, do you have really really specific skills, or how does it come that you don’t know git but are able to selfhost gitea? Just really proficient with orchestration tools like docker?

Since you host gitea you might want to know. Forgejo and Gitea are almost the same software, Forgejo is a “soft fork” of Gitea maintained by Codeberg, a very pro open source non commercial Organisation pushing for federalization of “code forges”. Think Lemmy/fediverse but for Git Servers.

You can unlock the browser and maybe do it that way. If you just want YouTube, the switch has a YouTube app, no need for homebrew there.

If you want to go full out, you can install a second OS like GNU/Linux or Android and stream with that OS.

I’m an LMDE user too, albeit cinnamon with x was causing some problems on my hardware. I use plasma with Wayland now, LMDE is a great choice.

I’m using plasma on LMDE, are you telling me they don’t officially support it?

Amazing. I’ve switched to forgejo, thr gitea projects are amazing and I’m awaiting federation.

It’s not actually hard if you know some high level basics. I recommend to use a git GUI or tui, makes things even easier. I personally use lazygit.

My advice: make your home directory a git directory. You can ignore everything in a gitignore, then make exceptions, like your vim configs, shell configay and so on. You have version control and on a new host you can just git clone and bam, you have your usual setup.
