Yeah :) Self-host it and share with family/friends ! 👍 I can't stand anymore seeing my family members install some sketchy apps present in the official store or clicking the first ad/spy/ai/ bloated site gathering all their personal information...😮‍💨

That's some crazy stuff ! Being able to completely change/repair every part is something every smartphone should be capable off...

We are in a buy/throw away generation amidst a big climate change issue/rare ore depletion... That's depressing.

I'm not expert in sed or awk. I always have to Google. For me though, it's generally that you can do a great deal in just one line of awk or sed.

Same here ! I recently used a one liner awk piped into sed, piped into another command to find duplicated lines and merge both files.

Writing a python script would have taken an unknown amount of time !

You're right ! And because OP want to archive Reddit pages I propose an alternative to reduce that bloated site to a minimum :).

From my tests, it can go from 20MB to 700Bytes. IMO still big for a chat conversation but the readability from the alternative front-end is a + !

I do agree that some EU members try to get out of the hands of the US based monopoly/dictatorship, but just proposing to implement such a law is insane and proves how well the US roots are implemented in the EU.

While this is a small win, they will just circumvent and find some kind of loophole. It's not that they don't want to implement such a law, it's only because they know they won't be the only one abusing that system, because it's to simplistic and anyone with good connections and money can just get the keys for the backdoor.

IMO it's just a question of time before they propose a more stupid and insane law only the GOV can use. This is not a real win, more a wait and see situation...

On a final note, It's great the EU trying to get away from US based software (eg Linux, Office...) 😊

Swiss privacy and neutrality died the day they refused asylum to Snowden. The EU is just US's little pet, so is Switzerland even though they aren't part of the EU...

True ! But there is a resurgence of ROMs. Squeezing any precent as low as possible is their goal, killing open-source/alternatives as much as they can !

I really hope hardware/software alternatives in the phone market get some funds to get away from the big tech monopoly.

And on it goes until we are overmedicated zombies.

Isn't that already happening ? I mean look arround you, people get stuffed with things to keep you functional enough and moving without a though. Just like Zombies...

Pharmaceuticals are not here to heal you, but to keep you alive long enough to pay your bills and make them richer !

Hope one day we all have balls to become more like Luigi.

Don't know either, other than they can't stand the thruth for a good reason? :/ We have been using iptables for years and now we have to relearn everything?

For reddit, SingleFile HTML pages can be 20MB per file ! Which is huge for a simple discussion...

To reduce that bloated but still relevant site, redirect to any still working alternative like https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib or old reddit and decrease your file to less than 1MB/file.

Debian as a server is fine and probably the best ! However as a daily drive OS I don't think it's the best choice.

I have always seen Debian as server distro and that's probably what they meant ?

I have debian as my server distro since the beginning of my Linux journey (NEVER failed me !) However I can't see how Debian as daily drive is a good idea. Sure they try to catch up with testing repo for those who wan't a more up to date distro, but it's seems harder to keep up when something breaks along the way.

That's where Arch and derivatives shine, if something goes wrong it's fixed in a few days.

I think what happens to me is that I completely lack discipline about structure and will often decide to re-organize things.

Haha ! Same boat here !

One slightly more stable system I’ve had for my own code is to use the Issues tracker as a sort of documentation storage system.

That's a very nice tip, thank you ! That's something I will explore.

Thanks for sharing. :) I hope you don’t mind me saying this but it’s nice to see commits like “Just a commit test”. I also have these as part of learning git.

Yeah that's a bit embarrassing 🫠 ! Was playing around with some script to convert Obsidian markdown links to GitHub flavored markdown. Because a comment is necessary to push the commit I have always no idea what to put in there xDD.

Sorry I couldn't help you out more and hope you will find a workflow that works for you ! 👍

This is exactly why proprietary stuff sucks !

Edit:

But I'm glad you're holding to that old iPod without throwing it away ! 👍

Is there any specific reason to keep the docs in the wiki section? Vs markdown documents right in the wiki itself?

I don't know sorry :/ I do use a document but only because I want more control over the TOC (Table of content), which is a bit strange in the wiki itself, but that's just personal taste !

I'm not a Dev so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but what I would do is add a comment in the code to specify the change and link to your documentation file for more details (if needed). That's probably one of the advantage of having your documentation not in the wiki page.

This would keep your code page clean while having proper documtation in the same repo ! However, I have never seen any project doing it like that (for a good reason probably?).

Here is my codeberg documentation repo about anime encoding in av1. It's probably not what you're looking for but maybe this can give you any idea or see if this could fit your workflow?

The compose shortcut can/needs to be configured in your keyboard settings.

I have mine to right-alt + left-win simultaneously. If I recall they have a strange name something like third ....

Yeah... I use it a lot in my markdown notes !!

If you only use a single dash it gets automatically transformed into a bulletpoint. And some times I just want a FUCKING dash !!

So em-dash it is !

That's the spirit !!

I will have forgotten a lot; it might be a different system environment. I need to be able to re-learn everything at a later time. Simple solutions that are widely-compatible, and do not rely on my memory are preferred.

I don't know if you have already considered it, but you can use a git repository as documentation tool ! It's a GitHub flavored markdown syntax though.

Fork the project, upload it to your own git repo (self-hosted codeberg, codeberg, github... Pick your poison :p) and add your own wiki documentation about your changes in the code.

The only thing you should keep an eye on is probably the license? But I'm not the right person to discuss about licensing :/

Back in the day, that's what I did ALOT on Windows. Specially because of piracy and my younger me having no idea what he was doing XD !

Still happens on Linux with EndeavourOS but not for the same reasons ! There are millions times more ways to break stuff on Linux but I always learn Something new during the process.

Story time:

Learned the other day that some config files are loaded in a specific order and depending what display manager is installed. That was kinda eye opening to understand cause my system didn't load .profile when .bash_profile was present and I didn't understood why ! Thanks Archwiki !
