  • I’ve been doing this to a lesser extent. Where possible I’d try to use the terminal to perform a task which would often require reading up about certain commands (either because they’re new to me or I’ve forgotten something). I suppose like anything it’ll take time for me to get more confident.

  • I tried a couple of months ago on my Windows PC and something went wrong somewhere and my USB was stuck in a permanent read-only state.

    I definitely will give it another try though, it's super handy to have.

    I'm an idiot and got Ventoy confused with another program I was testing at the time. Please ignore me.

  • I’ve tried searXNG but I’ve never been able to get great search results. Maybe I need to spend some more time setting it up or something??

    I’ve used DDG and Kagi previously and don’t have any complaints. Startpage has also been pretty decent for myself.

  • I’m no expert but I assume that the year Christ died would be “year zero” (assuming you’re talking about anno Domini (AD) and before Christ (BC)) since we started counting after that.

    EDIT: reading more on the topic I might be completely incorrect with my above statement. If someone else knows, please do correct me

    EDIT 2: I found this on Wikipedia which talks about a “year zero”

  • Yes! You can use an alternative front end - you’ll have to watch in your browser.

    There is a bot on some communities that will post the Piped Version. The other option is to use a version of Invidious which you can find here.

    Clicking on a YouTube link will take you to the YouTube app if you have it. You’d have to copy and paste the link into the search fields of the above.

    The other option is to use xvanced. I have not used it in a long time and I’m not sure of the current status but it should work.

  • This is somewhat related to the article but also a little off topic.

    I started using Linux about 6 months ago now and I feel like it’s been a continual learning experience (in a positive way). I was comfortable enough with Windows that I was on autopilot with most things.

    I’ve used systemctl previously but I love seeing articles like this, so freely available, where I have the chance to learn a lot more about my system.

    Tangent over, just had this on my mind for a while and needed to share.
