  • I read somewhere that he uses Fedora. I don't know how accurate that info is, though.

  • I'm going to try Mullvad Leta as my main search engine for a few weeks to see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion — I had no idea it even existed. BTW, even though I use NordVPN, I love Mullvad VPN for the privacy it offers its users. In a couple of months, when my Nord subscription ends, I'll switch to Mullvad.


    After using the search engine for two weeks, I can say that I didn't like it at all

  • Spotify has fraudulent practices, so morality forces me not to give him income. All my music comes from Soulseek.

    Here's a link for you to get an idea of what I'm talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_over_fake_artists_on_Spotify

    What other option is there, other than Spotify? I doubt much that buying all the albums I hear is an option, as I hear a lot of music.

  • The problem with "the socialist / communist countries" is that capitalist social relations, especially production relations, were not abolished in those territories. In China, the Soviet Union or Cuba, wage labour and commodities continue to exist, despite doing so in different forms than in the West. I would not therefore say that these countries are an example of communism. The only thing that changes is the way capitalism is managed.

    Having said that, I think that once the communist ideal is reached, through the insurrection, consumerism will diminish. Obviously, this fall in consumerism, from a capitalist perspective, could be seen as poverty, because they do not take into account the sustainability of the planet and its resources. As for health: Medicine and health have become one more commodity in this capitalist system. I think we need to recover community self-care to avoid medical iatrogenesis and we need to eliminate the root cause of the social, economic, hygienic, etc., aspects that make our bodies and minds sick. This is what Ivan Illich talks about in "Medical Nemesis," a book I recommend.

  • Here are my dotfiles for you to have a look and get an idea: https://codeberg.org/n0p1lls/Config/src/branch/main/dotfiles

    There you can see how to configure the mutt client, adjusting it to you through some small changes.

    For example, instead of: “set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Enviados" for your gmail account, if your language is English, it would be something like this: “set record=“imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent".

    If you want to configure the keybindings, see this section: https://neomutt.org/guide/configuration#6-%C2%A0changing-the-default-key-bindings

  • Congratulations! I see you know how to change directories. That's quite a breakthrough.

  • It is the definitive moment to change instant messaging application. I have switched to the XMPP protocol with clients like Gajim or Profanity. There are also applications for smartphones.

  • The effect of malnutrition can be obesity. Malnutrition does not imply a shortage of food. I would rather say that capitalism causes inequality, mainly income inequality but also wealth, among others. This causes unhealthy eating patterns.

  • I really make backups only a few times. I have the configuration files of my systems on my GitHub and Codeberg. The rest, I don't need; the only things I keep are books and music that I download from the internet, which I have on a 1TB external hard drive.

    When I have made a backup for a specific reason, I have done it with rsync. It's a tool that works quite well and is for the command line.

  • This.

    I tried it some time ago and I had to format the SSD because the operating system became unusable.

  • Are they reptilians or something like that?

  • Yes, I actually stopped following RSS/Atom feeds. If I want to look something up, I do it from the web browser.
