That looks really interesting! Does this exist for other languages like Rust?

I just scroll past those. I have set my XDG dirs which helps. If I were to reinstall it would be back once I have everything I need

Who cares with storage nowadays? I just use filelight or command line based tools to determine big storage hogs when I need to

Cloudflare tunnels definitely aren't wrong, you're just not entirely using open source software. It's a very good option if you need to open things to the public or want to learn more about cloud services

You can selfhosted tailscale so that they don't have any access. You can't with cloudflare tunnels as far as I know. Tailscale's client is open source, so is their Headscale server which originally was developed by a 3rd party. You can look into the code for that. Not sure what you'd want me to say. If you really want to be informed I'd inspect the code yourself

Tailscale shouldn't be getting your data anyway. It's a mesh VPN that directly connects devices after their auth server gives out certs and let's clients know where to find another. If you're not comfortable with using their server for this I'd suggest you look into the open source headscale server. I do remember it routing through their server in the rare case NAT punching doesn't work

Why would I do that instead of going to the office of my company? Besides, knowing me, my productivity wouldn't be much better if any compared to at home

I tend to have a harder time focusing at home compared to at work. I doubt the productivity difference is the same way for everyone

Why are you attacking so many loud majorities at once? Not everyone that likes some of those hates systemd or belittles users for

I used to use Ninite, but Chocolatey has so many more packages. These days I only have to export my package list to a file, reinstall windows, install chocolatey and install the packages by importing the file. That just leaves my favourite debloat script, some light setting changes and maybe the one or two programs that aren't on Chocolatey

In that case I would like to recommend you install Arch at least once. Not to actually use in production, but it made a lot of things click for me that help me with server stuff too. Just follow along with the install guide on the wiki inside of a VM.

If you really want to know what applications are essential I'd install a window manager and not just install the gnome package. Though even just installing your favourite DE will work fine.

I've heard other people recommend Gentoo and Linux from scratch as well for this purpose since they go even deeper, but that may be too much to start off with and I haven't done that myself

It's probably best to use an immutable distro like NixOs or Fedore SilverBlue when installing for people who don't know Linux and don't want to learn

Just see your systems as cattle, not pets. That way you can do this. Usually done through infrastructure as code like Ansible. NixOs is perfect for this use case

Personally I use tailscale which should punch through double NAT. It's a wire guard based mesh VPN, but an exit node should make it a normal VPN

You can definitely write C# code based on all open source things. Microsoft open sourced C# and it is used on Linux too

I ran my 1060 just fine for a few year. Nvidia has an official, but proprietary driver that might not run well on some distro's. Personally I haven't had any issues, though it would be better to stick with xorg and not wayland. Wayland support on nvidia I've heard isn't great, but it does work

Am I blind or do they call tar an archive format and not a compression format as you say?

You can still use your mouse. I3 allows using the mouse for moving Windows if you want it. Personally I manage Windows using shortcuts, but for GUI and some TUI apps I use the mouse anyway

My bank app works fine with rooting last I checked. These days I just run a custom rom with gapps. The thing is that nothing Google and Microsoft do will matter in this case as there will always be websites that don't use it. Especially when talking about Piracy and websites running on tor or i2p. Even if illegal, new options will show up

I wish regulators good luck trying to regulate bittorrent and other peer to peer software. Not to even talk about what can be found with just installing the tor browser
