My own intricate system of 4 git repos to manage dotfiles, bash initialization, cli tools/scripts, and system state.

The last one keeps track of installed packages and “dotfiles” out of the home directory (system config files like /etc/hosts).

as one of their customers, I second this

Is there a web archive equivalent to github repos? At least for the most popular ones.

I know there are hard copies in Svalbard’s seed vault, but they’re more for a one-in-thousands-of-years post-apocalyptic scenarios than this.

if you need less than 4TB just get a solid state

I got the HL-L2325DW last year. Connecting it to the WiFi using WPS was really easy. Making the desktop see it was a bit of trial and error, but it was partially thanks to the PDF viewer I was using, so I’d recommend printing from a well established viewer like Okular or the web browser, at least for the first use.

I don’t remember having to download any drivers manually from their website btw, I just chose it from the list when setting up a new printer. This process might change with the distro and desktop environment though, I’m using Kubuntu.

In fact, if you’re a bit lucky, the printer might even show up as a “discovered device” after you connect it to your network, even with a suggested driver and connection so you just need to press next.

“Desktop OS” also counts laptops. Unless people are working from their smartphones, I don’t think desktop is collapsing at all.

it’s based on this gist - follow the instructions at the top: you’ll need to set the right Sidebery preface to make it work, it’ll let you toggle it on and off easily.

sidebery + custom userChrome.css to make it collapse when the mouse leaves the area.

function command_one() {
    # activate the environment
    source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/venvs/alpha.sh"
    # run the thing
    actual_command_one
}

function command_two() {
    # activate the environment
    source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/venvs/alpha.sh"
    source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/venvs/bravo.sh"
    # run the other thing
    actual_command_two
}

They’re not permissions, it’s a privacy policy. I don’t know why OP called them permissions.

They’re not permissions, they’re the types of data that may be collected. Every popular closed source app has a similar obscene list of private data they may collect, but in most cases it’s the user that chooses to provide that kind of information voluntarily anyways.

I don’t think these are permissions, just a list of collected data categories. Google Play’s equivalent is the “Data Safety” section and lists the data collected, shared with third parties, and security practices in use. Basically just a more readable privacy policy, but agreeing to that by installing the app does not grant the app with the equivalent permissions automatically.

I’ll stick to a FOSS option without ads

I feel the same. PDS has an open issue about the possibility of having the original comment in their editing feature, which would allow a “prepend” operation.

Reddit pages are among the most useful for many search queries I have helped many others throughout the years. But Reddit as a company doesn’t deserve this leverage. For situations one really needs to read a deleted post or comment, with some luck they can see it in http://webarchive.org/ - that’s actually how I would see most posts that I needed after the June 12th blackout.

I also went the extra mile and sink-holed reddit’s domain, cause why not.

Just add this to your /etc/hosts:

0.0.0.0        reddit.com

cool, I’ve been using curl -s ifconfig.me after dig +short myip.opendns.com stopped working
