Awesome work. Trains always come out horrible for me.

Damn, you beat me to it. Randolph and Mortimer would be pissed to hear about this.

You could try Dolphin. It's the default file manager in KDE, but I think you can install it by itself.

It should be available as an apt package in Ubuntu.

OMG. I originally got the impression (from somewhere) that you couldn't pass arguments to an alias, so I googled and found that weird function nonsense. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks.

alias hgrep='function _f(){ history | grep $1; };_f'

Because I'm to lazy to type

history | grep whatever_I'm_looking_for

Thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out why Steam was broken on my laptop for the last 3 weeks or so. Installing the .deb from the Steam website fixed it. I'm starting to get fed up with Canonical.

I kind of feel the same way. When someone is offering service in exchange for pay, it signals that they're serious about this and see it as a part time job at least, as opposed to someone just doing it as a hobby or just for a learning experience.

In my search I found 3 that offer multiple services for a single donation/subscription:

• Neat.Computer - Their terms of service weren't strong enough for me
• Tromsite.com - I didn't like their Peertube upload policy
• Tchncs.de - The one I ended up joining.

I really wanted a smaller instance, but I just couldn't find one that I was happy with.

You haven't heard about wearable servers? C'mon get with the times! I'm headed out for a jog now, gotta keep my hashrate up!

vlemmy disappeared (alternate link) a few weeks ago with out a trace or any explaination. FMHY's domain was confiscated by the government of Mali.

That's especially a problem since people absolutely don't want to see ads, they don't like the idea of a coin/reward system, and generally don't contribute (less than 1 out of 20 ppl donate, and that's being generous)

In addition to what the others have said, we've lost some big and popular instances (Vlemmy, FMHY and others) along with the communities they had. Also, with the 2 biggest (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) coming under attack every week, some users want to be on a smaller instance that's under the radar.

Finally, people want to choose an instance that fits their interests/beliefs. I chose mine mainly for what they don't allow and who they're defederated from, but to each his own.
