I'm definitely going to at least try nixos. I've been reading tbe manual since yesterday and it looks pretty nice.

I didn't buy it. I'm just inheriting it from someone that doesn't want it and isn't really tech savvy at all. They're dropping it off on their way through town heading elsewhere. Easier just to check myself when it arrives than try to explain how to find out for me. I just know it's running windows (10 if I had to guess).

I do like lisp a lot. If I were on my desktop, I'd probably be writing this in emacs.

My only experience with NixOS was vicariously through the SystemCrafters guy, who seemed to have no end of trouble with pretty much everything during his youtube videos, but NixOS is kind of intriguing. How is it for software availability?

This is a very good point (about DisttoWatch). Thanks for reminding me.

 

I've got a refurb laptop coming to me soon and I've been wanting to mess with immutable distros for a while... I have no idea what sort of specs the laptop has.

Anyone have any opinions on good immutable distro(s) to try out and why?

Only distros on my list so far are Bluefin and Vanilla (Gnome isn't a favorite these days though).

Helix for really quick edits, emacs for pretty much anything else. I do use tridactyl in firefox though, does that count? 😁

I've heard some of the captcha bypass libraries do that because it's a lot easier to process speech than images.

That's what the headphones icon is for...audio captcha.

Total Launcher is where I landed.

Also, Heliboard is a pretty decent keyboard.

What if I compromise and reveal that it's a dick that unlocks it, but not whose?

I might actually, I have someone dropping by a spare laptop they don't want in a few weeks and I was going to toss xubuntu on it kind of by default, but maybe not.

I keep getting the urge to try an immutable distro...

 

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent linux podcast client. Doesn't need to be fancy or anything, basically just "Download and keep the last N items in the following podcast feeds." Extra points for cli/TUI.

 

Anyone know of a (preferably free) service that tracks changes to various service's TOS?

 

Title says it all. I've been looking for a youtube client similar to freetube or youtube-tui that will allow me to save a search as a playlist. I.e., I end up with a playlist that's populated with whatever the most recent VanillaOS videos are or whatever. I've done a bit of searching but thought I'd see if anyone knew of one, since I keep learning about nifty things I've somehow missed here.

 

Am I misremembering or didn't there used to be a way to block users in Alexandrite...from their profile I think? I don't see a button for it now. I can block them in Eternity on mobile though.
