Can you still get books from your library via overdrive? Any source regarding kobo ereader telemetry?

That site was blocked by spectrum when I tried it

No doubt about it. Most editors have the same capabilities or better. It’s just when you use something for 40+ hours a week you know it inside and out.

Notepad++ is the one thing i really miss on linux. I use it daily for work and i just haven’t found an equivalent on linux.

My understanding is that this is just a political stunt and that data centers can easily meet the audit requirements. Time will tell though.

I see it has over 100gb of ram, what do you use it for?

There are a few free dictionaries. If you are happy wiktionary we can get stardict format from https://github.com/xxyzz/wiktionary_stardict

Here are some alternative. There is an api for wikitionary if you want to start there. https://freedict.org/downloads/

Let me know what you think.

Assuming rofi-dictionary does what you need it to. What dictionary do you want to use? Seems like we could download an offline one and change the code. Thoughts?

Edit : i just realized this is a yr old. Did you find a solution?

Yup, i have a mid 2012 mbp with linux mint xfce and it runs great. My biggest complaint is the hardware support. Had to add a usb wifi dongle because broadcom chip was constantly dropping and the sleep wake takes forever and sometimes it wont sleep. But otherwise runs like a champ. I do kinda wish it would die so i could get a laptop without the sleep/wake issues.

How ridiculous. This timeline is so stupid.

Did you try out tailscale?

maybe think of it like water flowing through pipes:

Apps, websites, videos, and maps are taps that use water.

When you open an app or load a webpage, data flows from the internet to your phone (downloading).

When you send a photo, message, or upload something, data flows from your phone to the internet (uploading).

Your mobile plan gives you a certain amount of water (data).

Some general data sizes

Small image (thumbnail): 50 KB — e.g., 200×200px JPEG thumbnail photo, quick social-media preview.

Single full page of text (plain): 10–50 KB — e.g., one A4 page saved as plain .txt or small Word .docx without images.

Single full page of text (scanned PDF, image): 500 KB–2 MB — e.g., scanned A4 page at moderate resolution saved as PDF.

Normal web page (text + images + CSS + JS): ~10-50MB — typical news article with several images and scripts.

Sorry i should have clarified, alternatives to proton mail?

Do you recommend any alternatives to proton?

Yes tailscale is amazing, give it a shot. What is your up/down speed?
