Do you know of any obscure useful websites?
  • With 20k GitHub stars not really obscure I suppose, but maybe someone doesn't know it:

    https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

    Works offline and you can chain recipes.

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • There is a bugzilla entry that states the removal was due to too little user benefit for the development effort required. And since I don't necessarily need this feature, I can understand they directed the resources to where they are needed more. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have.

    The way I use it is primarily for applications that produce audio output, so I get appropriately named per-app volume sliders in pulseaudio/pipewire and not just a bunch of audio streams titled “Firefox”.

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • I use Brave as a secondary browser for PWAs on the desktop. I wish Firefox would support it again.

  • Mullvad Browser (no TOR, no VPN)
  • There is a FAQ about the Mullvad browser on the Tor Project's website, which gives a few more details.

  • Make Ctrl+Arrow Keys the default?
  • For shells (and other programs) using GNU readline for interactions and line-edits (like bash), some of this can be achieved with an ~/.inputrc configuration file, e.g., mapping the correct key sequence for your terminal emulator to the backward-word move command. You can look up these sequences using infocmp -L1 or interactively using sed -n l.

    Most other shells use their own command line handling routines and configuration though, so this won't work for e.g., zsh or fish.

  • [Solved] Change SSH port: no route to host (Oracle Cloud)
  • Ist that 0.0.0.0/24 CIDR a typo? That suffix should probably be /0.

    Also make sure to actually assign the firewall to your instance's subnet in the Oracle cloud Interface.

  • What are some good RSS feeds to subscribe to?
  • A self-hosted instance of miniflux. After trying several other options over the years, I settled on this one.

  • Also, while Matrix offers E2EE, the amount of metadata the protocol generates by design is something you should be aware of.

    There is also this issue with portalled rooms regarding the libera IRC bridge.

  • If you have spare computing power, consider donating some of that to a distributed computing project
  • Please only do this on plans with a dedicated vCPU that isn't shared with other users.

  • Poor doggo..
  • # dnf whatprovides '/usr/*bin/dog'

  • What's your favourite open source app and why?
  • KDE Connect in combination with Valent. The clipboard sync especially is the most useful feature for me. Followed by FairEmail and Syncthing-Fork.

  • Also Firefox Docs.

  • I tend to use Firefox's "Inspect" context menu entry on the element and disable the paste/keydown/keyup event listeners in the element inspector.

  • Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...
  • If you happen to use any user script extension already (like Violentmonkey) or don't want to use a dedicated extension to fix stupid design decisions, I can recommend https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/405614-youtube-polymer-engine-fixes.

  • Help
  • With kernel 6.5+, the default is now amd_pstate=active for Zen systems.

    I recommend amd_pstate=guided for 6.4+ though as at least on my machine, this seems to yield the best performance/energy trade-off.
