I use wl-clipboard for wayland with another distro.

Less about customizations and more just it doing what i want, and not doing things i don’t want. When you build it all from the ground up then you don’t have surpise bloat or walls to work around/within.

But most of my customizing from what people use probably would be around my dev environments. Things like rebuilding python libraries to support my gpu are fairly trivial in arch when i need to deviate from releases available through package managers (aur/pypi). Another thing was setting up my data science environments to share some core libraries but venv the rest.

It’s a hard question to answer though because fundamentally I’m just using the computer how i want to use it. When you say customization it sounds like you are expecting me to do things differently than other people and really it’s just like i said earlier-- doing things i want it to do, and not doing things i don’t want it to do. And I’m not really sure what walls other people are stuck behind for me to know what I’m doing differently. I just find a problem, fix it, and move on

For me it mostly just came down to years of frustration combating windows to do what i wanted. Arch offers the level of control for me to set things up the way i like them. Was it harder to set up initially than another distribution? Yeah. But it was a worthwhile trade off

Without knowing what reddit is doing, I’m not sure. A JS redirect could be detected, but if OPs paid shortener service is working then reddit is probably working off a simple domain block list. In that case you could use throw away domains.

But JS redirect, proxy response, etc all could just become a game of cat and mouse. Just depends how motivated either side is. But given how big reddit is, i think you’d have the advantage at least in the beginning. Just gets expensive since each time your domain gets blocked you’ll be paying to register a new one.

I’m not familiar with the reddit filtering but have you tried using cloudflare page rules? You can try capturing everything after the .tld and then forward it to a lemmy server. So for instance somedomain.tld/12345 could forward to lemmy.world/post/12345. If reddit is checking links for 301 redirects to lemmy though then that wouldn’t work.

A more advanced approach would be to use a cloudflare worker to do a proxy response so the status code is returned as 200 OK instead of 301 redirect. I haven’t tried that but i think that would be much harder for them to block and you could always make more elaborate urls to make it harder to find obvious lemmy-like structure

From a user experience its a social media site, like reddit.

And an ELI5 for the technical parts:

• It is decentralized which means that no single company owns the whole thing. Anyone can set up a server.
• it is also federated which means that servers can communicate with each other. I am able to see your post even though my server is programming.dev, your server is floss.social, and you posted on lemmy.ml.

Nope. They are separate security features so you can use them independently or together. LUKS does disk encryption whereas secure boot verifies the digital signatures of boot loaders/kernels

What is the relationship between Radicle and the Radworks ($RAD) token?

Radicle is a true peer-to-peer protocol. It doesn’t use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency.

Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.

From the FAQ in case it’s relevant to anyone

This is what i did. There are many static website generators that can help. I use Hugo which let’s me write in markdown, download themes (modify if i want), and it builds the site which can be hosted for free on codeberg/cloudflare/gitlab/github ‘pages’ feature. All support letting you use custom domain if you have one.

Codeberg pages comes to mind (for a simple personal site anyway)

Looks fairly impressive, including live collaboration

I use hyprland and can bind stuff through their config, whether that is some library functions or executing a script i wrote. I’m sure there are other ways to do similar with different desktop environments.

It you’re looking for ideas-- Something you’re passionate about. Find a problem you’re having, fix it, and make it open source. That’s the best way to make sure whatever you do doesn’t get abandoned. Good luck

The best way i found was obsidians import which was what i was trying to avoid. I was making standalone markdown files and after the import i needed to do some cleaning since obsidian or onenote did OCR on the images to create alt text but quotes in the alt text broke image links.

Just make sure to read their FAQ

Is Arch Linux the right fit for a newbie to Linux? The right answer is “it depends”, not “never”. Would I recommend Arch to my mom? No. Would I recommend it to my programmer colleague who already lives in the Powershell? Sure, why not.

Yup, i had a lot of people tell me that arch wasn’t a good beginner distribution, and had some friends try to talk me out of it. But i was planning to move to Linux for over a year and had set up Linux servers in the past. Just hadn’t used one for my main PC. I’ve been on arch for over a month and it’s been fine. I still wouldn’t recommend it to every beginner but I’m not going to say it’s never appropriate.
