the number makes it more sad

android is a very very sad deployment of linux

Sounds like it but there is probably some differences.

I use EURKEY cause I prefer standard qwerty for programming but I frequently need all kind of european symbols due to working internationally and in multiple languages across europe.

EURKEY layout is great for that. It’s basically qwerty, but all the european letters and diatrics are places meaningfully. For example ä is right ALT + a

Never had the issue, guess I’m on a good one lol

That said, for modern fast SSD’s the performance overhead of the encryption might be a problem.

How so? I’ve been running LUKS on modern NVMEs for years and there is just the same maybe at worst 10% hit in write/read speeds.

I installed the paid version of Zorin on my Parents machines, because while I could set it up for them just the same and then maintain it until they die, I’d rather pay 50$ and have nearly 0 work to do.

I make way over 50$ for 1 hour or Linux tech support, so there is no world where it would be worth.

But besides that I don’t think your attitude is particularely useful for people that would rather shit just work than spend hours on setting it up themselves.

2 months ago I needed to do a quick and dirty part design. Very simple thing. Just a hook for towels, that looked like the one already on my wall.

I opened freecad, fucked around for half a day. Didn’t get shit done.

I opened fusion 360 in a laggy windows vm. After half an hour I had the part I imagined in my mind.

I used neither before in my entire life.

How comes?

Distro is based on tiny core

The source files can be found by following 3 links deep to https://www.telikin.com/source/ doesn’t look like they include their frontend though, which might be proprietary, idk.

radicale can do cantacts as well btw. so that you can use the stock android contacts app. At least with DAVx5 on android.

No, I press ctrl + c on my keyboard and in Konsole settings it is ctrl + c for copy

My current setup:

~/.bashrc

  stty intr \^x
  bind -f ~/.inputrc

~/.inputrc

set bind-tty-special-chars off

set colored-stats on
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set show-all-if-unmodified on
set completion-ignore-case on
set completion-query-items -1
set page-completions off

"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\C-h": nop
"\C-s":"\C-asudo "

And in Konsole I have remapped copy to ctrl+C and paste to ctrl+V .

I honestly don’t remember what each config line is for, cause it has been so long ago. And probably you don’t want all of that. Probably best to throw it into an AI and let it explain it line by line.

If you need any help, ping me and I’ll share my setup.

The reason you gave still falls under the concept of ergonomics.

From wikipedia:

Ergonomics, also known as human factors or human factors engineering (HFE), is the application of psychological and physiological principles to the engineering and design of products, processes, and systems. Primary goals of human factors engineering are to reduce human error, increase productivity and system availability, and enhance safety, health and comfort with a specific focus on the interaction between the human and equipment.

It would be a more ergonomic (and less error prone) system if you modify the shortcuts so that you don’t fumble them.

Wait till you find out that your SSD has it’s own CPU, RAM and is running software on it’s own micro-OS just for writing bits to flash storage.

Wait even more until you find out the same is true for your SIM card.

If you survive the shock, you could go on and write software that runs entirely on your SIM card in fucking JAVA.

I’ve been using ctrl+c for copy and ctrl+v for paste for over a decade in my linux terminal by remapping the interrupt to ctrl+x.

It’s basic ergonomics and user friendliness.

I do it on all my personal devices and servers.

Nothing bad happened in those ~15 years that I’ve been doing that. What the fuck are you arguing about?

Aaah finally, malware for Linux, truly the year of the Linux Desktop!

I have btrfs snapshots with snapper on my desktop. It keeps the last 20 snapshots. Sending them to a second drive would require an equal amount of space as the main drive, which is ~850GB / 1T full.

But the borg backup for the same takes only ~450GB and also keeps the last 20 versions. Because of the smaller size, sending the backup over the network is also quicker than with btrfs.

So I use btrfs to restore situations about filechanges (for example a bad system update).

Borg is easier to set up a central server for all my devices, because it takes much less space. I run https://github.com/Ravinou/borgwarehouse . So I use that in case where the drive fails. To restore I set up the same partition layout as before and then throw the borg backup at it. It was easy enough so far.

I have successfully recovered from dead drives by restoring from a borgbackup to a fresh new drive.

Borg backups take much less space on the backup storage because of extremely efficient compression and deduplication.

The Professor who developed it has some presentations on youtube and it’s kind of mindblowing.

So thats what I would recommend.

I backup all my computers and servers with borgmatic which makes it a bit easier to manage excluding directories and how many versions you’d like to keep.

If you need any help with setting it up, let me know.

That is called a “Kill Switch” try to search for that.
