I wouldn’t be surprised if all shells have some form of that, but not enabled by default. I know Bash does, but I’ve never turned it on.

If a state-actor doxxing you is in your threat model, using any social media should be verboten - even under a pseudonym.

Pfff, all these amateurs here using Vim. Y’all should use Emacs. You still have all of these problems, but you get to act all superior about it. /s (except for the superiority complex; that’s real)

Weird, I found the Arch-based one once but now I can’t find it. Everything keeps pointing me back to that page…

EDIT: All I can find now is HoloISO - which seems to be in a reasonable place, I guess.

I’ve been wondering for a little while now if WinApps will work for gaming. It uses a VM in the background but, supposedly, has a “native” experience. Thoughts?

You can also install SteamOS which is literally what the Steam Deck runs.

EDIT: Disregard, I can’t read.

My understanding is that running most of BlueSky is possible on small to moderate hardware. However, running all of BlueSky requires basically cloning 100% of all the content on BlueSky (which, as of Nov 2024, was ~5 TB).

So, like, yes, one can run part of BlueSky or a clone of BlueSky which has none of the main instance’s user’s content without much trouble, but actually running an entire BlueSky stack is eventually going to become cost prohibitive.

I found this write-up to be enlightening on the subject.

We don’t do that here

Unless you live in California, they kinda do.

I use uMatrix (uBlock’s big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.
