What are your favorite Rust-based tools and utilities for the CLI? in c/rust@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't seen a bunch of these posts before, any cross references to aide in tool discovery?

I have some Rusty GUI apps and will consider doing a list when I find more useful ones.

Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Helix is a good one, I've tried it but didn't feel comfortable switching 100% off vim yet. Added to the list!

You know what, when I started the list I had delta but when I searched for it I got a different tool that didn't look right so I removed it, added this one back. Thanks for the added config!

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I agree with a bunch of the comments here but wanted to add that there's a decades-long legacy of good FOSS/Linux support on Thinkpads. Before any of these companies existed, Linux was running pretty reliably on Thinkpads.

I do like the newer options with these newer manufacturers, but I won't be getting rid of my Thinkpads any time soon. I'm running a Framework now too.

Systemd-Free Immutable Distro Nitrux 2.9.1 Is Out Powered by Linux Kernel 6.4 in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

How does the immutability come into play with Nitrux vs, say NixOS?

Can anyone recommend me a setup to virtualize Linux under Windows that runs smoothly? in c/technology@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Have you tried installing the respective agents inside the VMs that assists with the guest interfacing?

In VMware: VMware Tools
In Hyper-V: Linux Integration Services (LIS) or hyperv-daemons
In VirtualBox: Guest Additions

These generally help with the mouse input lag and host-guest interfacing that can be sometimes slow in virtual consoles, etc. I don't know to what degree you consider 'perfectly smooth', so you may be talking about something beyond that but I hope it helps.

Can I easily have an encrypted home in WSL? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've read that systemd-homed can do encrypted home directories but I haven't tried it, much less on WSL but that may get you to achieve the encrypted home directory at least.

Personally I don't think I would have a need to encrypt all of WSL, but maybe that also makes sense for your case.

ArchWiki example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-homed

I only get 82% :( How much do you get? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I've used Arch, Manjaro, and Endeavour. For ease of use it's between Manjaro and Endeavour and I'd pick Endeavour. Arch is great too. When you're ready to go deeper, give it a shot.

NixOS as a docker host VM on proxmox? in c/homelab@lemmy.ml

[–] projectdp@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't but would be curious to follow your journey. I'm running a NixOS VM (in Proxmox too) but still learning the basics. My goal initially was a simple utility VM. Separately I've also been moving my Docker host VMs to increasingly better setups and NixOS seems like an interesting next candidate.
