Yes. Calendar is even worse. There's no bridge at all. Proton should've used a standard protocol and put their encryption on top of it in a separate layer to make it comlatible with other software

That's very good to know, thx! But that means I have to run the bridge on my server, open the ports there etc. , right?

Thx! That's for desktop. The bridge is alright. There's no major drawback to it afaik. But this is news about android. Thunderbird bought k9mail

Unfortubately I am locked in to protonmail :/ otherwise I'd love to use it, looks great

With an atomic system it's less likely to brick your system. You can stay in the debian world with vanillaos (I've never used it) but fedora atomic is very good. On a day to day basis you shouldn't have/use admin rights to break your system

Those things happen on windows as well

On linux you just put the ovpn into the settings. VPN connections are built into the system

Yes, I have used systems that broke. Yes I followed bad advice and broke my system. Ever since not touching my system, that didn't happen again. If I would touch windows, I would brik windows as well.

Wdym with linux can be broken?

Don't mess woth the system and go atomic. Fedora atomic kde or gnome or wm

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't talking about programming.dev. i thought that's obvious because p.dev isn't that old

Android and android tv save the state.

Where can I buy linux stickers?

Probably, I'd like to get some red hat stickers. Tux is too sweet and fedora is just white and blue. A red hat is more striking.

 

is there a routing app/ service for canoes?

Edit: I ended up using brouter or osmand depending on the task.

is there a bookmark manager like jabref for linux url bookmarks?

I use Jabref for papers and books. I group and rate them and keep track of reading status. There are a lot of websites that also provide valuable information but firefox' bookmark manager can't be used to rate sites or make comments. I can manually add links which is cumbersome.

Is there a similar tool like jabref for internet links?

In the optimal case it would take firefox' bookmarks and work with them such that I can bookmark a site with Ctrl+D and do all the site related work within that manager.

edit: Bonus, if it automatically fetches the article to preserve it

 

I want to install a package, I lookup for the package here https://search.nixos.org/packages? I can find multiple versions. two that sound right, two sound like rubbish and one is a plugin for something. How do I decide which of the two good sounding packages I should choose? What if the package or even both not work? How do I know that it is up to date? How do I know that it will be updated in a timely manner? Can I update it?

 

I found this SQL style guide which looks good. I'm not a pro at SQL but it looks good to me. I mean, you use the style guide your boss wants you to use, or what all others use, but what if you could choose?

Today, I wanted to have another go with nix. Previously I just read about it and didn't do anything for a couple of months. Now, I installed nix package manager with very few lines of code and two more to install many packages as described in his post. Installation was very fast on my banana laptop. Until now I used distrobox but I always wondered which distro/ package manager to use. What's your experience with it? For now, I'll test it. It's super easy to use. It may not be straight forward to a linux newcomer but if you know what you want, e.g. ffmpeg you can just add it with home-manager edit and install it with home-manager switch. So far, I love it!

 

I wonder if there is a nptocable difference between a HDD and SSD. Did someone already test it? I run it off a good SSD but wonder if a HDD would be enough.

 

What's up with homebrew that you'd have it installed by default on linux?

I don't understand the appeal of it, can someone help me?
