  • Thanks, I have to try that!

    I am missing something to isolate my Browser(s) without using Flatpak (as that breaks everything)

  • TLDW on his hardware recommendations?

    • chill interview, recommended to watch
    • hardware recommendations see below
  • Windows performance doesnt say shite

  • Intel Arc if you get one

  • Very nice!

    There are also rust rewrites for git, tor etc.

  • Also checkout StirlingPDF

  • Or that code is not cleaned up

    Knowing codebases, literally always it is simply messy code they dont want judged

  • Nix, portage?

  • No it is not lol

    I have no idea of the experiences of new users. The biggest issue is that PopOS has no KDE Plasma spin, so users can either use GNOME or their thing

    I will give the desktop another try. Their apps are all very minimal. Cosmic files has network shares though which is nice!

    I installed it in a VM to get the repo files as I found no better way. Now I use some cosmic apps on Debian GNOME

  • Nice!

  • Passphrases everywhere, add dialect to make it harder, symbols if you like. Crazy but short passwords for limitations

  • You didnt read my comment

  • Ok I think I had a misconception about complexity. In case of brute forcing passwords, of course adding symbols helps.

    I generally just use 5-6 passphrase words, which should be very safe as the wordlist is pretty long. But adding spelling errors or dialect is an amazing solution which I should add to all my new passphrase passwords

  • Adding these symbols adds no security and just makes passwords harder to remember and type. If you dont use very common dictionary words, brute forcing will likely be just letter by letter

  • Ok but you should use passphrases. Better to type and remember in case you need to

    There are instances where sites prevent copy-paste, or you are on another machine without your password manager available

  • Node-based... i.e. Electron?

    Damn...
