roux [he/him, they/them]

1. Mostly movies from yts . mx, and movies and tv shows from watchsomuch . to.
2. Mostly for convenience and I think information should be free. I cam back to the high seas after they decided to have 4,758 different streaming services and kind of hate exclusive as an excuse to get you to pay for one service over another.
3. I have a dedicated 6TB hard drive(wish I would have paid a bit extra for an 8 or 10 though). I also used it for rsync back ups but that’s it.
4. I switch back and forth between Jellyfin and Plex. Jellyfin is a bit fiddly but open, Plex “just work” but is closed source. I try to use free software as much as I can.
5. Both JF and Plex will keep track, but I’ve had issues with JF if a movie or show doesn’t want to run(I think it’s a transcoding issue) sometimes I lose progress of my most recent watched stuff. Kind of sucks. I’ve had more issues with JF than with Plex which sucks.

I just told some discord friends about it and now they are screeching about Tienanmen Square and such. Whoops.

I’m gonna be doing the impossible and try to set up a PSL branch deep in Christo-fascist Trumpland.

I have a 3d printed fidget slider and a custom-made worry stone I almost never leave the house with.

Candy

I drink trash wine and love carbs anyway so I’m going with Jesus.

I settled on Cinnamon after jumping around a bit. I do still like Gnome though even if both are fairly bulky DEs.

Well, that was a lie.

Lock screen and sleep. My gaming/programming computer is also our media server so it is basically always on.

A dik-dik. It’s a species of deer that is slightly larger than a house cat or maybe a medium size dog. It was super adorable but a bit uncanny feeling lol.

Sky Valley makes a pretty solid one.

Not gonna lie, I thought elementaryOS was gonna take off and I guess it never did. I used it on my school laptop when I was in college for most of the time there. It was fine but mostly just a sleaker looking Mint basically.

To be fair her teaching assistant put it on there and she has a tendency of clicking on everything and just isn’t computer literate at all so it was more of an inevitability than anything. It installed a reskinned Chromium that redirected searched so it wasn’t super bad. is ran MalwareBytes and got a few more possible threats too. Glad it wasn’t anything super severe. I’m out of practice lol.

The old search engine hijackers

I literally just cleaned up a computer at my wife’s workplace that had a hijacker on it like 2 weeks ago.

Favorite movie is Dead Alive(but that is mostly my autism canned response)

Favorite genre is horror(the good and the bad, just all of it)

Similar mental capacity probs.

Been using Linux for over a decade and I will never go back lol.

DDG being down was the push for me to finally try SearXNG. Used it all day while working on code and it’s been pleasant. The search results are actually meaningful and it’s fast.

And new forms of government such as socialism are generally more succeptible to corruption as people find the new loopholes; as a government gets more corrupt, those who corrupted it seek to consolidate their power.

This is capitalism tho.

For what it’s worth, QMK/VIA/Vial all work on Linux. A few years ago the docs were not complete and I remember I had to run

echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc && source $HOME/.bashrc

but on my last install I followed the docs and I guess they are complete currently(or rather I am no longer on a janky system). So basically probably almost anything QMK based is gonna work on Linux. I have 2 Cantor Remixes, A Sweep36, a Ferris Sweep, a Planck, and an XD75 all running Vial which is a similar QMK fork as VIA with a GUI. And they all run fine on Mint with zero issues. I can plug an play on any other system too since the boards used firmware instead or relying on an installed software.

If you want a cheaper option, The Anne Pro 2 has a Linux build of their software but soldered switches so you are stuck with stock. But the board isn’t great, ngl.

For quiet switches, you won’t get a silent clicky switch but if you want the tactile bump and don’t mind it not being as “snappy”, look into something like Gazzew Boba U4. The stems have rubber feet that cushion the noise. You can check YT videos for sound comparisons. They won’t be as good as real world examples but you can get an idea. For chocs, They just released a brand new line of silent v1 switches. The 2 linear variants are already out but the silent Sunset version, which is the low profile equivalent of the Boba, is gonna be out soon. I daily the original Sunsets and they are easily my favorite switch.
