Computers are machines for us to play around with and -use how we see fit yet the only thing the big tech companies want to do -it lock everything up and it disgusts me. Fuck google, fuck microsoft, -fuck apple, and fuck all the other evil tech companies!!! Its time for -the open source revolution and seize them all and open source the entire -world!!! Without linux or any other unix life would be much much worse. -Linux is my safe place from all the shit in the world. - -[[file:images/windows_kills_kittens.jpg]] - -* Distros - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: distros - :END: -I will distro hop a bit though for the most part I like to stay with the -same distro and just change DE's or WM's. For the longest time I just -switched to a different fedora spin every so often. Now I use arch -because I got tired of fedora and couldnt find a distro I liked so I -switched to arch to make it feel the way I want. - -** Guides - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: distro-guides - :END: -+ [[file:distro-guides/arch.org][Arch (my daily driver)]] -+ [[file:distro-guides/xfce.org][Xfce DE]] -+ [[file:distro-guides/fedora.org][Fedora xfce (my old daily driver)]] - -** Cool distros - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: distro-list - :END: -/Not including the guides/ - -+ [[https://antixlinux.com][AntiX]] -+ [[https://mxlinux.org][MXLinux]] -+ [[https://salixos.org][SalixOS]] -+ [[https://www.adelielinux.org][Adelie]] - -* GUI apps - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: gui - :END: -A lot of linux users dont like GUI apps. I think they are great -[[https://digdeeper.club/articles/design.xhtml][when they are done right]]. - -** Claws mail - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: claws - :END: -I have used thunderbird in the past though like I said before -[[https://digdeeper.club/articles/mozilla.xhtml][mozilla is evil as fuck]]. -Through the power of actually following the unix philosophy and -not being full of javascript bullshit claws is about the safest email -client out there. Gone are the days of just clicking a email being -enough to fuck you over. Anyways you likely noticed that claws just -displays everything in plain text. I like using the dillo plugin for a -nicer view, and guess what? Still no shitty javascript that can get you -fucked! - -** Emacs - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: emacs - :END: -*Don't use emacs. Its stupido.*\\ -\\ -That is and will always be true but lately as of writing this I been bit -by the emacs bug. Using emacs is so bad and so wrong but feels so good -to use. I defeated rsi by doing hand exercises for nearly a year and a -half as of writing this. I had to learn the hard way being a guitarist -and emacs user while taking CS classes and writing code all the time -wasnt a good idea. Now I play bass to but it balances out because I -switched over to IT and became too lazy to write code most of the time. -I lost my lite weight hand exercise tools and instead of buying new ones -I just started using the heavy ones for hours at a time until I had *the -grip strength to crush a human skull*. Now my rsi is cured /as long as I -keep up the exercises/.\\ -\\ -I dont use doom emacs, spaceacs... or any of that bullshit. Just good old -gnu emacs with a simple config and a hand full of plugins.\\ -Some of my favorite are: - -+ Ivy: it makes emacs feel a bit nicer without completely changing it by - much. -+ Company with eglot: a easy way to add good auto-complete and lsp - support. It doesnt bloat the system up too much and it adds much - faster and better auto-complete then what any standard ide has and it - doesnt get in the way. -+ nyan-mode: this plugin will change your life. Emacs isnt even usable - without it. This plugin is the biggest reason I use emacs. Take that - vim users! - -*Fun fact: I use emacs to work on this site.* - -** SpaceFM - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: spacefm - :END: -For the longest time I just used thunar because its decent and default -in xfce though I decided to give spaceFM a try as of writing this. I -might got annoyed of it in a week and ditch it or end up really liking -it. These kinds of things tend to go either way for me. I will either -fucking hate it or wonder how I ever lived without it.\\ -Update: After using it for a little bit I really dig it and never want -to go back. - -*** Encrypted partitions in spaceFM - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: encrypted-partitions-in-spacefm - :END: -SpaceFM doesnt support encrypted partitions by default but lucky for us -its very customizable. To get encrypted disks working I use udisks2 and -udiskie. - -+ Install udisks2 and udiskie. -+ Go to xfce session and startup than add the command =udiskie -s= as a - autostarted app. The -s option makes udiskie show a tray icon and hide - it when there arent any disks. -t will show the tray all the time and - by default udiskie will not show a tray. -+ In spaceFM go to Devices->Settings->Device Handlers and add a new - handler: [[file:images/udiskie_in_spacefm.jpg]]\\ - Whitelist: =crypto_LUKS=\\ - Mount: =udiskie-mount %v=\\ - Unmount: =udiskie-umount $(lsblk -n -o MOUNTPOINT %v)= - -*** sftp - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: sftp - :END: -Spacefm uses sshfs for sftp support. Once you install it you will be -ready to rock. Though for my use case I need symlink support. sshfs -needs to have the option =-o follow_symlinks= To support symlinks. -To add the option go to Devices->Settings->Protocol Handlers->ssh and -change the mount option to: -#+begin_src shell - #!/bin/bash - - [[ -n "$fm_url_user" ]] && fm_url_user="${fm_url_user}@" - [[ -z "$fm_url_port" ]] && fm_url_port=22 - echo ">>> sshfs -o follow_symlinks -p $fm_url_port $fm_url_user$fm_url_host:$fm_url_path %a" - echo - # Run sshfs through nohup to prevent disconnect on terminal close - sshtmp="$(mktemp --tmpdir spacefm-ssh-output-XXXXXXXX.tmp)" || exit 1 - nohup sshfs -o follow_symlinks -p $fm_url_port $fm_url_user$fm_url_host:$fm_url_path %a &> "$sshtmp" - err=$? - [[ -e "$sshtmp" ]] && cat "$sshtmp" ; rm -f "$sshtmp" - [[ $err -eq 0 ]] # set error status - - # Alternate Method - if enabled, disable nohup line above and - # uncheck Run In Terminal - # # Run sshfs in a terminal without SpaceFM task. sshfs disconnects when the - # # terminal is closed - # spacefm -s run-task cmd --terminal "echo 'Connecting to $fm_url'; echo; sshfs -p $fm_url_port $fm_url_user$fm_url_host:$fm_url_path %a; if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo; echo '[ Finished ] Press Enter to close'; else echo; echo 'Press Enter to close (closing this window may unmount sshfs)'; fi; read" & sleep 1 -#+end_src - -** mpv - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: mpv - :END: -I switched to mpv because vlc was acting weird with audio sometimes when -watching anime and nothing in this world is worse then something getting -in the way of anime time! Just like lite-xl and neovim mpv uses lua for -its config files and is really simple by default. It also can play -youtube videos or other online streams just by giving it a url. - -** Liferea - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: liferea - :END: -Feed readers are one of those things I use on and off. A lot like mail -clients feed readers tend to be very bloated. Liferea is my favorite but -it has always had issues with nvidia drivers until I found out a -trick.\\ -\\ -If liferea has issues add this to your /etc/environment and reboot\\ -=WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1=\\ -\\ -Some cool tricks: - -+ Get [[https://github.com/shevabam/get-rss-feed-url-extension][this - plugin]] to find feeds easier. -+ You can turn youtube channels into rss feeds with - =https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={channel_id}=\\ - This can be done for all your subscriptions with - [[file:scripts/youtube_subs_export.py][this script]] -+ You can drag and drop youtube urls from your feed reader into mpv so - you can keep up with your subscriptions without even touching - youtube's website. - -** ePDFViewer - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: epdfviewer - :END: -I wanted a pdf viewer that was light weight and simple. Being a xfce -user I wanted something that isnt tied to another DE and doesnt uses a -hell ton of dependencies. - -* Web browsers - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: browsers - :END: -Modern browsers are some of the worse things to every happen. These are -some of the better options out there.\\ -\\ -For some resources on browsers check out -[[https://spyware.neocities.org/articles][spyware watch dog]] and -[[https://digdeeper.club/articles/browsers.xhtml][dig deeper]].\\ -\\ -For addons stay away from the mozilla or google bullshit and instead use -something like [[https://gnuzilla.gnu.org][the gnuzilla thingy]]. You -can also find addons on [[https://mybrowseraddon.com][mybrowseraddon]] -than manually install them or something along those lines.\\ -\\ -For a dark mode addon *stay away from darkreader*. Dont know if its -spyware or not but when the browser starts up it makes a bunch of -requests which is something a dark mode plugin shouldnt do. Instead use -something like -[[https://gnuzilla.gnu.org/extension.php?id=786990][dark-mode]]. - -** Icecat - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: icecat - :END: -I use to use firefox but switched to librewolf because -[[https://digdeeper.club/articles/mozilla.xhtml][mozilla is evil as -fuck]]. If you don't know librewolf it its the ungoogled-chromium of -firefox. Than I switched from librewolf to icecat.\\ -\\ -+The builtin plugins are decent. Librejs and its other contend blocking -plugins are way more annoying than something like umatrix but I am -giving them a fair chance knowing that umatrix might not have much of a -future even if its still quite functional still. I still like to install -ublock even with everything that comes builtin.+\\ -So I got annoyed of librejs and other builtin plugins in icecat. Now I -just disable them because umatrix and ublock can do way more, except -jshelter: It is a api spoofer which is different from the others which -are contend blockers. Its useful for when you have to use javascript -heavy websites but still want to prevent alot of information from being -leaked. I set ublock to disable javascript by default and I set jshelter -to strict mode by default.\\ -\\ -Fun little trick: If video playback/youtube frame breaks on a website -just throw it into mpv to stream it from there. Sometimes to find the -media you can hit ctrl+i to pull up page info and use the media section -or in some cases you might have to dig around in the inspector. - -*** Installing - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: installing - :END: -You can find some newer builds [[https://icecatbrowser.org][here]]. The -offical version can be found -[[https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla][here]]. - -*** Hardening - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: hardening - :END: -The magic of icecat is it makes zero requests to mozilla but its not too -hardened so you might wanta use a user.js. Check out -[[https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js][pyllyukko user.js]]. - -** Palemoon and Basilisk - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: xul - :END: -[[https://www.palemoon.org][Palemoon]] is a old firefox fork that uses a -different rendering engine so it can keep up with newer webstandards -while stilling keeping the old interface and support older plugins. -[[https://www.basilisk-browser.org][Basilisk]] use to be developed by -moonchild and was designed to be kind of like palemoon but based off a -bit newer version of firefox. The basilisk team broke off and is now -seprate from moonchild but still keeps in close contact with them.\\ -\\ -What version you choose is really up to you and what interface you like -more. Both of them are going to struggle to use javascript heavy -websites but its ok its I prefer disabling javascript whenever possible -and using umatrix to only let in what the site needs to function. - -*** Hardening - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: hardening-1 - :END: -Even though they are about as good as browsers get these days the -developers are still stupidos so you should -[[https://spyware.neocities.org/guides/palemoon][follow this guide]]. -Its also best you disable webrtc (only basilisk even supports webrtc out -of the two) and webgl along with other hardening because even though -they are based off older versions of firefox they still support the -modern features that make it easier for sites to fucking fingerprint -you. Basilisk is the only one that supports webrtc out of the two.\\ -\\ -To help hardened get yourself -[[https://git.nixnet.services/Narsil/palemoon_user.js][a palemoon -user.js]]. It helps you stand out less by hiding the fact you are using -a weird old ass browser. Btw, for whatever fucking reason this user.js -seems to brick github issue pages so just keep that in mind. Though if -anything this just is another reason why real git sites like gitea and -codeberg are better.\\ -\\ -You can timezone spoof by setting =TZ=UTC= before launching: -#+begin_src shell - sudo -s - rm -rf /usr/bin/palemoon - echo "#! /usr/bin/sh\nTZ=UTC /usr/lib/palemoon/palemoon \$@" > /usr/bin/palemoon - chmod +x /usr/bin/palemoon -#+end_src -Basilisk users can come up with their own hack instead of having their -hands held and gently walked through - -** Ungoogled chromium - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: ungoogled - :END: -Ungoogled chromium is what the name says, chromium without the google. I -still prefer to avoid anything chromim but if you really want to use a -chromium based browser without all the spyware shit you arent going to -get any better than this. It hella beats brave *brave is fucking -terrible*. There is a addon that lets you install addons from the chrome -store and update them without having to sign into google but I still -think the best option is just to manually install the addons to -completely avoid google.\\ -\\ -Ungoogled chromium isnt hardened at all by default. Its designed to be a -drop in replacement for chrome that is user friendly and doesnt break -anything. We dont do that here, for heaven fucking shake at least harden -it a little and to do that you can use -[[https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/docs/flags.md][these -flags]].\\ -\\ -With manifest v2 on the way out the future of chromium based browsers is -fucked. Mozilla is also doing shitty things so we are just in general -fucked. - -** librewolf - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: librewolf - :END: -Librewolf is about the easiest way to get a decent hardened browser -setup. It still makes some requests to mozilla which kind of sucks. - -* Command line - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: commandline - :END: -Yes, the terminal is a GUI program. But I put it here because *fuck -you*.\\ -\\ -For a cool command line I use nerd fonts. My favorite is the hack nerd -font which can be installed with: -#+begin_src shell - wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.3.0/Hack.zip - unzip Hack.zip -d Hack - sudo cp -r Hack /usr/share/fonts/ -#+end_src -More nerd fonts can be found [[https://www.nerdfonts.com][here]]. - -** Alacritty - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: alacritty - :END: -I only started using it very recently because I been using kitty for a -long time. I switched to alacritty because ssh in kitty is fucked up and -I found out that alacritty now has a option for toml files for the -config. The yml files was one of the biggest things keeping me away from -alacritty. - -** zsh - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: zsh - :END: -zsh is pretty cool though I been playing with fish a bit and been -thinking of switching to that. zsh has lots of cool things like vi keys -(even though I use emacs) and is somewhat compatable with bash to. - -** vim - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: vim - :END: -For a long time I used neovim. I started using neovim becaues I wanted -vim to act more like a ide and have fancy shit. For most things I ended -up using +lite-xl+ emacs more because well... emacs just make my autism -happy. Neovim ended up just being used for editing configs, quickly -throwing together scripts, crazy vim wizard edits... so I decided to -just ditch neovim (you can find my old config -[[https://gitea.com/nathansmithsmith/nvim_config][here]]) and instead go -with a simple vimrc with only a few plugins.\\ -\\ -*/How dare someone use both emacs and vim!/* Shut your fucking piehole -stupido! - -* Extras - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: extras - :END: -These are programs I at one point used, dont use much... that I wanted -to add. - -** lite-xl - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: lite-xl - :END: -I started using lite-xl because I wanted a simple little easy to config -graphical text editor. lite-xl is just that. I no longer have a need for -it as I get into emacs again as of writing this but still a great little -editor.\\ -\\ -On different screen sizes lite-xl may look bad and to fix it you need to -set the =LITE_SCALE= environment variable. - -** vlc - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: vlc - :END: -Yes, mpv is better. Yes, vlc sometimes has issues. But vlc is still -better than the default media player on most systems and has its fair -share of useful features. Even with mpv I still like to have vlc -installed just in case mpv breaks when I dont have internet and I like -its file converting features. The mobile version of vlc kicks ass. - -** Evolution - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: evolution - :END: -Evolution is one of the better mail clients out there. If for whatever -reason you need to use gmail or some other locked down shitty service -evolution has you covered. By default it uses the gnome style window -decorators but unlike most gnome apps it lets you use your desktop/WM -decorators instead. Its not as bad as most mail clients (looking at you -thunderbird) and it lets you /at least/ hide most of that shit out of -the way. |
