I’m hosting my blog (using Hugo) on codeberg. Here is a quick howto.
The easiest option to post online for free with zero coding skills is bearblog. I’ve used it before hosting my blog on codeberg. Bearblog let you publish and organize your blog using an insanely simple interface.

There’s also the gemini option that’s worth considering. There are plenty of easy way to publish there. To cite a few: flounder, gemlog.blue, pollux.casa

Some sites don’t load because of some features disabled in Librewolf. You can enable them and have the sites load, but it defeats the purpose of the Librewolf configuration choices. Nonetheless this is still an option :)

When I first heard about Zen, I’ve tested it with EFF like I do for all web browsers I experiment with (from most mainstream to most unknown). Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer a full privacy.

Not everyone cares, but if this is something important for you, Librewolf has been the only one to come up with a full privacy protection result. Maybe you could achieve a good result if you use Arkenfox with Firefox… I didn’t try it.

Doing that I can see the loading bar for half a second when reopening the app. As stated on the app webpage this is certainly to update the database with any new images but it doesn’t rebuild the entire database from scratch.
Maybe your cache gets deleted automatically when you close the app on your device. Make sure you have no other app that may do so.

This doesn’t sound like the normal behavior. From the app description: “This indexing process may take some time, but it’s a one-time event. Once this initial indexing process is complete, the app will store the index on your device, and any new photos you add to your photo library will be automatically added to the index on the subsequent app launches.”

If your experience is different you may let the dev know so they can fix it.

I use rofi as my app launcher and more. I’ve share my old script here.

I have now extended this script to support the following:

• execute a command if the input text belongs to /bin or /usr/local/bin
• do some basic maths (using menu-calc)
• open url in my web browser if the input text starts starts with http(s) or ends with .xxx (where x is any letter)
• translate the input text in English/French using the deepl website if the input text starts with dpen/dpfr
• search the input text with searx (if all the above failed)
• manage my web bookmarks (using buku)
• manage my clipboard (using copyq)
• manage my passwords and autofill fields (using pass)
• manage bluetooth devices
• manage audio sinks and sources
• manage my wifi and vpn
• manage my tmux sessions

I’ve been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won’t deviate here).
For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.

I’ve wrote a small post about ucollage if you’re interested.

Check disroot

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Great choice of laptop BTW ;)

I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you’re interested.

https://frame.work/es/en/products/laptop-13-gen-amd/configuration/new the 1600€ but is so expensive for me, but i like it very much even the concept

Have you looked at the DYI option instead of the pre built one? Assembling this laptop is doable in 5 minutes for a 3 years old kid ;) You can even find step by step guides videos and that will bring the price down to your higher limit of 1000 euro. That may be a good option if you like the concept so much. I’m personaly looking to get one of those for my next machine.

Also, this discussion may help you. It’s on the framework forum but comments are not only all positive which reflects liberty of speech. Another plus in my view. Finally, always remember to compare apples to apples and take longevity in consideration. Not all processors with similar specs are the same for example.

Quite recently I moved to my first trackball (Elecom Deft Pro) and that was a life changer. I’ve shared my experience here.

When setting up your SSD, don’t forget to use TRIM to preserve it if possible. See the Arch wiki. You can follow it even if you use another distro.

Thanks for sharing.
I was personally not motivated/good enough to write a new tool so I’ve wrote scripts to use rofi (easily adaptable to dmenu) as:

• an app launcher
• a clipboard manager
• an infobar to show things like the date/time, memory usage, disk space, battery level, wifi signal…
• an omnibar to perform an internet search, quick units conversions
• a calculator for simple math
• a bookmark manager (list, open, edit, add, remove)
• a password/2FA token manager (list, edit, add, remove, autofill internet fields)
• a wifi manager
• a vpn manager

I’ve explained the basis here if you’re curious. Even though I was bad at keeping my code up to date you may get some ideas to expand your program.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I’ve spent quite some time trying to create a minimalist and efficient theme. Very glad to hear that I met this goal.

I’ve explained my choice for zsh here

Nicely configured it’s so convenient that I spend most of my time in the terminal and don’t even use a file explorer anymore. It can also be expanded with some plugins for specific use-cases.

Yeah I avoid close source as much as possible and forgot about Magic Earth. As you noticed the features and privacy policy were sufficient to me to make an exception.

For Yuito, here is the F-Droid link that also lists the difference with Tusky (which I used first).

That’s why he get me: minimalism is my motto ;)
Another suggestion: Magic Earth for navigation Also curious to know if we’ll see you on mastodon one day? (my client is Yuito btw)

Great. If you search for Goodwy in Aurora for example you’ll find a bunch of apps starting with “Right”. Here is the list on GitHub as well: https://github.com/Goodwy
I may have additional suggestions if you’re interested.
