What Linux distro surprised you the most?
  • I used manjaro for 3 years or so and then been using EOS for similar time. Manjaro broke a lot of times. EOS is more stable for me.

    What Linux distro surprised you the most?
  • Ok I understand the technical reality you poin to, I just refer to the user experience. For a normal user, you probably won't notice that technically manjaro is not arch and EOS is. IMHO Manjaro breaks a lot and EOS just works and needs less manteinance.

    Best android app suggestions?
  • AFAIK fennec is the same as firefox but with different branding. Mull is a privacy focused fork (like librewolf for desktop)

  • I think we have to persist. Make our statement and presence. Let banks know. Let everybody know there are people who care. Each day we are more. One day we will be many.

    Most enjoyable content for the least amount of storage
  • The most enjoyable passions IMHO is when you unleash your creativity. Write with emacs. Compose music with musescore. Draw with krita. Or, better yet, do it off the screen.

    Why do I get a strange, yet comforting feeling when I stop in quiet places
  • Probably, most people will give you answers from a psychological point of view. And probably most people will downvote me. But I encourage you to inquire this aspect of your being from a spiritual perspective. This may be a thread that could lead you somewhere. Have you learned buddhist/mindfulness meditation for example? (This is not necessarily "spiritual", though, but it is certainly beneficial). There are other realities/worlds happening and you may here have something that connects you to that. Keep deepening into this! Congratulations for being aware of it.

    I am looking to host a fediverse platform for a community of non-tech people. These people use mostly ig and some still fb. These people are from a network of schools which are ideologically aligned with libre software and decentralisation. It will include adults and also teenagers, who mostly use IG. This is part of a plan of a massive migration to ethical platforms. I am trying to choose the fittest fediverse solution to these, also considering that I am not sure how much my home server will be capable of sustaining, so the platform should ideally be as lightweight as possible. I am considering mastodon, pixelfed, misskey and sharkey, and some people have suggested akkoma.

    What would you recommend? Thanks!!

    Android personal budget app recommendation

    Looking for a pretty, easy to use app to register my expenses and incomes and then get charts telling me how much I am spending on real needs or on luxuries and things like that. It has to be for Android, not an abandoned project, and libre software. It has to have an easy interface that allows me to enter records with minimal hassle.

    I've researched a little and narrowed down to this:

    • Money Manager EX https://moneymanagerex.org/
    • Buckwheat https://buckwheat.app/
    • Oinkoin https://github.com/emavgl/oinkoin
    • My Expenses https://www.myexpenses.mobi

    Any recommendations? Or a new one I didn't find? thanks!

    -------------- UPDATE: Money Manager EX gives a an error and somehow I missed what I entered. Buckwheat crashes. My Expenses seems OK but is not as straightforward as Oinkoin

    I have been given the task of finding a proper platform for building a network of education, medical and other initiatives in my country, that have all the same focus (I am sorry I can't give details yet on the project, but you could probably could get a grasp of the idea if you think in something like a church whose attendants have a lot of different church-related initiatives)

    Until this day, there are only isolated, individual projects, but we want a network that connects them all. So I think we will be setting up a fediverse instance for this (Still trying to decide between Pixelfed, Mastodon and Firefish), but, before that, we need to solve a simpler issue: a Calendar of Events. The idea would be that different users can add their events and all these get inside one single calendar (and you can filter by categories, etc.) Would mobilizon be the best fit for this? because at first I was thinking in making a nextcloud install, wich could satisfy the events calendar need and could also give some other services. What do you think? thanks!

    Where I live, DRAM-less SSDs are a lot cheaper (half the price). Most sources online say "go for an SSD with DRAM". But I wonder, are cases in which a DRAM-less SSD will do just fine?

    My main focus is resurrecting old laptops (from 2006 to 2015), installing GNU/Linux and an sometimes investing in an SSD will give them a performance boost, but the budget is limited because I can't sella uch an old laptop at a non very budgety price.

    Some friends have websites. I encourage them to do. But they have them only to publish contact info, opening times, and a couple of photos of their business. What would be the best fediverse platform for this? Of course being able to post/toot news every now and then, is also a good feature.
