Bit of a mess, kinda depressed, and going through a gender identity crisis :3

Thigh highs are where it’s at nowadays :3
That site is lovely, thank you!
As I mentioned in the post, my money budget is around 1000€ as a target, but it extends both up and down. I can stretch if needed, but if that’s comically overkill then I’d be happy to go lower. Time budget… not too high, but also not super low. I can certainly spend a day or two setting everything up. Electricity costs are certainly a factor, power prices here were some of the highest globally, even before the extreme increases lately.
Also thanks for the tip of the S3 backup, it’s probably a good idea to have an extra copy of important data off-site, yeah.
Really, I’d just recommend using nano then. It’s installed basically anywhere you can find vim and works perfectly fine as a text editor! To use vim effectively it has a learning curve no matter what, so it’s not necessarily meant for everyone.
Hm, the Shorts algorithm should be generally based on your normal recommendations until you start watching them.
You know, potentially controversial opinion, but I kinda like shorts, since by now the algo has figured out that I like longer documentary-style videos on normal videos, but still get vtuber clips and cute animal videos as shorts.
The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of “People be like “Subway sucks”. Bro, you made the sandwich.” and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.
The best thing about this is that finally you don’t have to click on every post anymore. I don’t know if I’m the only one who found it insufferable, but the amount of times I accidentally opened a link while trying to see an image because both look near identical and you can’t see the image without clicking on it drove me nuts.
Yay :3
Oki, if you say so :3
Oh no, whatever shall I do?
About NixOS specifically, I actually made a post on !linux@lemmy.ml and overall the feedback seemed to be that Nix is a mixed bag, and that unless you want to duplicate your system a bunch of times, it’s probably smarter to stick to Arch, and a few people said I should use immutable Fedora for some reason despite that not being the question.
I’m quite excited but also mildly worried about Arch. I am currently on EndeavourOS, so I’m used to day-to-day usage of an Arch-based system, but I do worry about not following some best practices that screw me over in the long run during the install or forgetting some crucial security things. I do believe 95% of what I could mess up is going to be covered in the install guide, but who knows what I’ll overlook. And I know Archinstall exists, but I might as well stay on EOS if I was gonna use that, as I primarily intend this to be a learning opportunity. We’ll see how things go!
I see. I suppose figuring out which things to get rid of takes some getting used to, but thank you for the advice!
I use my computer normally, but importantly for ergo keyboards, I also play video games. Due to that, initially I looked into ZSA with their Moonlander, as it seemed to fulfill the role of being ergonomic, while having enough keys to let me comfortably game. As usual, a compromise solved neither issue. Due to neither being overly comfortable, nor being satisfactory for gaming, I ended up selling it. I’m now on a Piantor Pro and so far it’s pretty decent, while keeping my old traditional keyboard around for games. It’s not perfect, but if you play games and want an ergo keyboard there doesn’t seem to be anything that truly is.

What do you mean by that, specifically? I looked that up online and maybe I’m a bit dumb, but I didn’t find anything that made much sense
I haven’t personally tried them, but I’ve heard good things about Sock Dreams: https://sockdreams.com/
I still have my HP laptop from a few years ago, and despite running like crap nowadays, it still manages to warm my legs through my desk
If you’re an expert tightrope walker, you’re likely not gonna fall off. You can just do it without too much issue. When you’re doing it over a chasm, and you don’t plan on dying, you’d still probably prefer a harness though, wouldn’t you?
Edit: I’m not saying C is a bad language or anything, but for important applications the safety of actually memory safe languages is vital for lower-skilled programmers and still a good assistance for higher-skilled programmers, as we’re all humans and it doesn’t hurt to try and avoid the mistakes we will eventually make.
Speaking of seamless, I heard Plasma 6 is gonna come with Wayland as a default now. Do you think it’ll automatically switch you over or is it just for fresh installs?
Wait, it doesn’t support caldav? That really kills the appeal of the convenience they provide as a one-stop-shop, as I’d have to deal with hosting my calendars in another way. I guess at that point I could just get SimpleLogin and use the rest as I have it, even if that gets close to proton unlimited price-wise…
