I’m not opposed to paying for quality news publication, but for something like NYT, there’s only a couple articles a month I come across that I’m really interested in reading. There problem is that there’s 4-5 other paywalled publications where I have that same issue. I’m...
I recently found ground.news. it is an interesting news aggregator sight in that it combined multiple sources for each story. It doesn’t really answer some of your needs but for each story it shows you which sources are pay-walled and which ones aren’t.
Hi everyone, I’m looking for an RSS feed reader available both for PC (Windows and/or Linux) and Android. I would like to have my feed synced and organized in the same way (and maybe some backup functionality too)....
I’ll go first, I took my mom’s college textbooks which came with discs for a couple distros and failed to install RHEL before managing to get Fedora Core 4 working. The first desktop environment I used was KDE and despite trying out a few others over the years I always come back to plasma. Due to being like 12, I wanted to...
I think my first experience was around 1993 or 1994. I downloaded the 3.5" disks at the university and then uploaded onto my 386. No GUI, all command prompt. :).
Right around that time, too, I found some network cards and co-axial cables and 3-4 of us in the house put the cards in our computers and could see each other’s computer. Couldn’t do much else though. Hahahaha.
I purchased sync. I agree it is a little on the expensive side.
The one thing you can do is just use git and turn on the push and pull. It seems to be very reliable this way. Though you won’t be able to use it on the phone as far as I have been able to figure out.
Whenever I wipe my PC, I use tar to make an archive of the whole system. This works, but having to decompress the whole archive to pull files out is very annoying. Is there another archive format that:...
I will be traveling to Africa in a month or so. I have a large DLSR camera but it is a little bulky to bring on a trip (it was given to me so I have used it a lot around home but not on a large trip)....

What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

Looking to try obsidian, but the sync seems expensive. Do you pay for sync, or are there other alternatives?

Smoke Forecast - FireSmoke.ca (firesmoke.ca)
Useful site for planning activities. It also gives a good idea of where fires are burning, in case you’ve sort of gotten burned out by headlines.
