The key was published in the files. It’s not suspicious to use the key given that it’s public info; it’s not illegal to read the released files.

I think the point of the reddit screenshot is to show what Windows users are putting up with, not to share the meme itself.

This is just an archive. No different from using the wayback machine or any other archive of web content.

10 years old is 2016. That’s not that old. I still have multiple devices from 2017 going strong, and they don’t feel old.

That’s why you don’t keep clothes if you wore them while committing a crime. Burn them.

Security and difference of design philosophy. I run OpenBSD on one of my machines and I enjoy it. It has better software availability than I expected and it feels like a neater, more minimal system than Linuxes. Definitely falls into the “hobbyist computing” category rather than something I’d recommend for a practical use case, but it’s fun.

I think it’s just clickbait/being hyperbolic. I imagine the videos themselves are just normal tutorials or intros to the topic.

These look SO GOOD! I’ve been making salt and pepper tofu lately and I think I’m getting into battered tofu. Will have to try this at some point. Thanks for the recipe!

OP said they’re not that tech-savvy. gopass is likely overpowered for their use-case.

If OP were smart (and they seem like an intelligent enough person) they would’ve thrown in some false red herrings to make it not seem like them. Maybe they quit a while ago, or maybe they haven’t handed in their notice yet. etc. Hopefully that’s the case. And hopefully they reach out to a journo to get this reported on.

On the other hand hopefully their red herrings don’t get some other person falsely implicated.

Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”?

You can do this… Hard links. Neither file is more “canonical” than the other.

Sauces for what? A lot of sauces you can buy pre-made and are perfectly acceptable—also some sauces you would not normally make yourself, e.g. soy sauce.

Sauces as in dipping sauces, I normally use pre-made hot sauce.

You can also make a lot of passable pasta sauces very easily. One way is to fry up garlic, chilli, and any other aromatics you like in a pan. Add white wine. Add parsley. Add pasta water. Add spaghetti (or other pasta).

Another pasta sauce I like that’s very easy to make is just putting silken tofu and miso paste into a blender/food processor and blending until creamy smooth. There should not be any chunks; it should be completely smooth and creamy. If you see any lumps at all, keep blending—it will get smooth. That makes for a good creamy vegan sauce you can put on pasta or other things.

These days the vi command on your machine is almost definitely actually vim just running in a mode with limited features to emulate vi.

I use Prism Launcher offline mode since I only play singleplayer.

If you use a gtk theme they look fine. Most Linux users will have a gtk theme.

GTK? Depends on how important cross-platform support is for you. I’ve heard GTK programs don’t look great on Windows, but it does support Windows. GTK is written in C as well—Qt is in C++ so that might be where some of your problems are coming from, I’ve not tried making any kind of GUIs in C though.

I would not say that reading a book is the way to go about it. At least the way I learned was just through using my computer like normal, and naturally I ended up using the terminal for some things e.g. updating packages, doing simple operations like moving files around, etc. I don’t think it’s a good idea to specifically try to “learn the command line” as a directed/targeted goal, because like you said you could end up learning a bunch of stuff you never use.

For personal use? To automate tasks you do or solve a problem you have? Or people use git repos for notes and the like too

I thought it was not recommended to run on bare metal? There are some other obscure OSes that can run fine on bare metal (although Serenity is not really obscure in the foss space, only in the mainstream)
