In the actual #GlobalBigDay yesterday I was not much lucky, but today have seen this beauty in #Genova .
Unlike the ubiquitous Kramer parrots here, these ones are more rare and harder to find because of their far more modest behaviour. -

@ldexterldesign I had similar thoughts recently, planning to move away from #Gandi. A couple of options I'm considering:
Domains: #BookMyName https://www.bookmyname.com/
E-mail: #PurelyMail https://purelymail.com/
Both seem to have similar values as I do and are reasonably cheap. My only concern for both is lack of payments in crypto which is kind of important for me.

Today I learned that there is a fork of #MozillaStumbler that is able to work with modern versions of Android: https://github.com/GerryFerdinandus/MozStumbler/releases
It's does not show the map (Mozilla's API token must be expired), looks like a 10-years-old app, but still can do what no other app so far is able to: collect the WiFi AP location data and upload it to Mozilla's MLS!
Now I should walk through the same neighbourhoods where I've already collected cell towers with #TowerCollector earlier 😄
-
@[email protected] Indeed, it's the only database with WiFi APs. There used to be radiocells.org, but it seems dead.
Btw how do you upload WiFi data? The Stumbler app does not work on modern Android versions, and #TowerCollector (an excellent one otherwise) works only with cell towers... -
Last few days were really hard for many of us... But to maintain the mental health I feel I still need to follow regular routine and do something to escape the insane reality for a short while.
So, #OneWeekOneDistro week 12: #MXLinux, I tried the #Fluxbox edition. I liked a nice installer (it starts copying the files in the background while waiting for user input for later steps) and a lot of presets for many elements of UI configuration (conky, panels etc.)

#OneWeekOneDistro week 11: it was a very busy week for me and I didn't manage to try something new. But since I had not yet shown my usual working system, let me use that cheat this time.
So: #Manjaro on my daily driver laptop, in the middle of a working day.

#OneWeekOneDistro week 10 (equator passed): #KolibriOS
A lovely minimalistic system, totally independent, written in assembly, with a nice GUI and lots of tiny fancy apps. Boots in a fraction of second, able to connect to the network with my Ethernet card, and built-in browser can even show some simple sites!
-
#OneWeekOneDistro week 9: #FreeBSD, the first really non-trivial system I tried withing this challenge (not counting Haiku as it was super user-friendly).
Installation was surprisingly smooth and I got quite usable system out-of box, with working wireless connection and even Russian keyboard and font in console. After playing a bit in console and pure X, installed KDE to quickly make the screenshot.
I'll probably try to use it for a while, slowly reading the Handbook.
-
#OneWeekOneDistro week8: #ALTLinux.
It is developed by a Russian company which got some state support a few years ago (their distros are supplied to public schools and some state enterprises) but its history starts long before, in late 90s, and it is actually the first Linux flavour I tried in my life, some ~20 years ago. I remember that time it had kernel version 1.x.y...
-
#OneWeekOneDistro week 7: #VoidLinux.
It has a unique (although not super convenient to me) package manager. Otherwise I found nothing particularly special about the distro.
-
#OneWeekOneDistro special (not counting - I've already had one this week): #FreeDOS installed on the laptop. I did not play much with it, just looked a bit around and ran a good old game I used to enjoy like 20 years ago. No idea how to take screenshots there, so these are just photos.
-
Week 6 of #OneWeekOneDistro - #Alpine Linux, #i3wm here.
I missed this minimalistic system experience for a while: out-of-box it's pure console without anything, but taking just ~70MB RAM. Setting up X and the WM was not super smooth, but here is what I got.
I believe it's an excellent solution for some special purposes with containers, embedded or very old hardware, but not something I'd suggest for a modern desktop system.
-
Week 5 of #OneWeekOneDistro challenge: #Solus with #Budgie desktop.
Nice distro with quick an intuitive installation. Budgie is a bit too simplistic to me (looks like not even possible to set keyboard layout switching hotkey) but looks pretty nice. eopkg has funny looking terminal output.
I don't usually like dark themes, but tried it this time, following the distro's default. Still convinced that it's not for me.
-
Week 4 of #OneWeekOneDistro: ElementaryOS.
I heard a lot about its fantastic user-friendliness and wanted to have a look for a long while.
Well, not bad indeed, I would consider it as an option if needed another desktop for my parents. But nothing really fantastics I would say.
And an horrible bug that the installation crashed if I selected my native language in the installer (https://github.com/elementary/installer/issues/591). -
Week 3 of #OneWeekOneDistro: I got bored with Linux and try something more exotic: #HaikuOS!
Looks very original, with distinctive graphical environment, file system and behaviour! It seems to have a good community and a lot of ported software, so I can imagine some people can use if as a real working system.
-
Week 2 of #OneWeekOneDistro: this time #Q4OS - a Debian based distribution with #TDE (aka #Trinity desktop) by default. I like this good old KDE3 experience in general, even though keyboard layout switching didn't work out-of-box. And one horrible thing about the distro - they offer Google Chrome in default set. WTF, you do already have a nice #Konqueror native for TDE!
-
Starting #OneWeekOneDistro challenge with installing #Debian 11 with #LXQt desktop on my old laptop. Despite >15 years experience with various Linuxes it's in fact the first time I install Debian.
Rather disappointed by how helpless I am before installing non-free wifi and video firmwares...
But much like LXQt! -
@textovervideo Excluding those which are typically preinstalled with most of modern distributions:
* #KeePassXC
* #Zim Desktop Wiki
* #ROOT
* #TeXLive (and #Kile)
* #Skype (shame on me... but I need it to get in touch with colleagues) -
#PrivacyBadger blocks trackers on web pages based on its own database plus some heuristics. It does break the sites sometimes, but one can always find after a few tries which external domain should be whitelisted - it is implemented in a very handy way.
#ClearURLs cleans the URLs from referral redirects (Google, social networks etc.) so that the browser requests the target page immediately. The worst issue is that I cannot whitelist individual web sites - hope the author will implement it soon!

#DecentralEyes pretends to improve the privacy by replacing some common JS libraries served through CDNs with locally stored copies. Not really sure how important the effect is (e.g. what fraction of all CDN requests is blocked this way), but it never broke any site for me, hence why not?
#HTTPSEverywhere ensures that all sites supporting SSL connection do actually use it. A few years ago I took care to write the rules for my favorite sites myself. Now everything works mostly out of box.

'Donald Trump has ordered the US government and other agencies to release files related to "aliens, UFOs and extraterrestrial life".
He claims the former US President Barack Obama released ‘classified information’ on whether aliens were real during a podcast this month.
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One: “I don’t know if they’re real or not," and, speaking about Obama, he added: “I may get him out of trouble by declassifying”.
There’s reportedly been a recent surge in interest in the States on extraterrestrial life, including congressional hearings on UFO sightings, reports on the Pentagon running a secret project to investigate UFOs and the infamous Area 51.'
