Not in my experience. I guess it might depend on the brand or affect individuals differently, but I’ve been using grocery store off-brand dish soap for this for like 10 years and never had a problem.

Oh neat, I’ll have to go watch the new one when I have a chance. I recall it working quite well and being absurdly cheap - I can’t recall if he did a cost analysis. Maybe I’ll watch the old one again and then the new one haha.

Yes, that’s what I mean. I don’t pay for TV because I just put all of my media on a Jellyfin server as I also don’t want to watch ads, let alone pay to watch ads.

Ah I seem to recall a video he did about dishwashers and why the pods are bad etc. I think he may have briefly touched on making your own detergent using bar soap and borax as well as the manufacturer recommendation to put some detergent in the bottom in addition to behind the spring loaded door.

Yes but I think there is a miscommunication here.

I’m not talking about detergent/dishwashing liquid - I’m talking about liquid dish soap which I can purchase locally for about $3 to the litre and is a different thing.

Detergent/dishwashing liquid is definitely much more expensive and probably would not be great for washing hands.

Bar soap is definitely still cheaper though overall, you are correct.

True enough. I haven’t had any problems in using it myself but I supposed you could ratio it with some water or something to make it not as intense for hands.

It’s a lot cheaper than hand soap too so in doing this you could probably get a tonne of hand washes out of it for really cheap.

The primary downside to it for me is that it lasts ages and I get kind of tired of the smell.

Television. It’s like paying to see ads.

Hand soap. Dish soap works better and you can use it on dishes in addition to your hands.

A dining table. I eat at my desk or standing at a counter. I was pressured into buying one by family because it was apparently bizarre to them I did not have one. Got the cheapest one I could find to appease them. I have now owned it for 4 years and it has never been used once, it just takes up space.

Affinity is one of the things i lost in moving from windows to Linux, but I’ve been getting by.

I bought a license before canva acquired it and quite enjoyed the software.

Really sad to see canva doing what everyone knew they would do to it.

If you are coming from Windows, I would say Mint for sure. I have friends that are 20 using it and my parents in their 70’s use it. Both seem to like it and even find it easier to use in quite a few respects.

Speaking of Quod Libet, Ex Falso from them is still the best way to fix meta data on music that I have found - so very very handy.

Definitely agree - I usually use cmus because it follows my system theme as part of the terminal and kind of fits in anywhere, but for graphical players having options for skins is a must for me. Used to like all the options for this on AIMP when I used to use Windows.

I play the Java edition on Debian with mods from modrinth and don’t require emulation etc.

This is kind of how VeraCrypts hidden partition feature works.

You start the process of the volume’s encryption and set a “false” password for it. It creates a partition that is encrypted with that password. When it finishes, you mount it and store “fake” files, the files you would reveal under duress. Veracrypt then takes in a second password and creates a “hidden partition” in the remaining free space of the disk - to be clear, that memory space still reports as unused/free if investigated, but the partition is there.

You can then mount that with your second password and store your actual files. You can work with files and folders in the hidden partition as needed, however if anything is added or changed etc in that first fake partition, the data in the hidden partition will be corrupted by those actions.

This means that so long as you plan ahead, someone can literally put a gun to your head and demand the password to the encrypted disk, and you can give them one that works without revealing the data to them.

In theory, since the data in the hidden partition is encrypted and unreadable, it is impossible to detect that it exists in the “unused” space of the disk, even by a forensic analyst. To them it would just look like old, randomly flipped bits that came from previous usage followed by a quick format.

Now, what’s really cool about this is that if you use the veracrypt bootloader, you can store and boot from an undetectable OS you store in that hidden partition, while having a decoy operating system on the visible partition:

The humble kalimba has some of the qualities I think you are describing. Also just a regular nylon string guitar.

On two versions of debian on two computers I have tried to use wayland and both times I have had really bad graphical problems and lag/stuttering of multiple visual elements. I’m sure it is fine when it works, but my problem with Wayland is that for whatever reason, it just does not work on my systems.

Each time, this was on fresh installs of the operating system as well, so I have no idea why it doesn’t like me.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind

Thanks!

It looks like the app is not available in my country - there are some rip offs that claim to be similar but charge money. Might look to see if there is some APK of it out there that I can sideload.

That makes sense, thanks for that insight.

Thank you, all good resources and recommendations.
