I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.

Looks like you’re paying $138/yr for Proton, SL, and vpn. Consider getting Proton Unlimited for $120/yr which includes all of the above, and use Proton vpn.

Redneck Rampage. Hot damn!

Are all of those drives powered up constantly? What’s your power bill like?

I was also going to suggest Haiku. It’s the spiritual successor to BeOs. I was always disappointed that didn’t become more popular.

Memorize and practice this! You can do it in 2 seconds.

Do you perhaps have Resist Fingerprinting or Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on?

I was never able to get videoconferencing sites working with any combination of those (on Linux), so I just use a vanilla Chrome instance just for videoconferencing.

I would like to know how you found out about the cat nip thing by accident.

I use Emacs’ Org Mode. It may not be exactly what you’re looking for, but it is highly versatile.

Me too. I could never get into nushell or fish because they’re not posix and I don’t need to learn two ways to do something.

I think the glass doors on the refrigerated coolers that were electronic displays that showed you an ideal image of the drink or whatever was supposed to be inside, but you couldn’t see through them to see if there were any actually on the shelf.

You could, but maybe a good shell makes it easier than the external tool. Or maybe you use the shell to effectively combine the inputs and outputs of the other tools.

He did say he was doing it to learn. Maybe when he’s done he will be able to appreciate what goes into making a viable browser.

Well, time to go watch Black Mirror again. You know, the one with the robot dog that hunts you, or the one with the quadcopters that kamikaze tap you on the head with explosives?

https://mbasic.facebook.com/ still works. It’s missing some modern niceties, but usable. That’s what I use for occasional messages.

300 baud C64

It probably won’t affect Fedora because that’s already a consumer-oriented distro. For me, it’s a philosophical question. Do you want to run a distro that is supported by a company who would behave that way?

What did you find in Fedora that you didn’t find in the other distros? Was it something about the graphical interface, or was it more about the system packaging ecosystem and developers?

In the Debian GNU/Hurd case it’s even less practical due to the many limitations of Hurd and its primitive hardware support.

Given the Hurd limitations, Debian GNU/Hurd is mostly practical in VMs.

Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for i386 and can build around 65% of the Debian archive.

Since the prior Debian GNU/Hurd release, APIC, SMP, and 64-bit support has improved a lot but is still a work-in-progress.

Debian GNU/Hurd has improved a bit over the past decade since last time testing it but is still very much limited and niche compared to Debian GNU/Linux.
