One that is onetime payment, gives you a fuck ton of -storage, fast upload and download speeds, works on all your devices, -never looks at your files, and it doesnt even need internet! Its called -the external harddrive. USB drives work to but they are little cheaply -made pieces of shit that are easy to lose, have a laughable amount of -storage for many uses, corrupt easily... You lite weight freaks may be -pissing out over the fact external harddrives are bigger than your -finger tip but thats a good thing because that means you will not as -easily fucking lose that mother fucker! Dont know about you but I lose -USB drives all the fucking time!\\ -\\ -Some cool tricks with a external harddrive is: making a encrypted -partition so +if+ when you lose it somewhere some edgy teen isnt going -to make the next few months of your life fucking hell, making seprate -partitions for files that will stay in linux and files you might have to -access on some random ass machine running windows so file permissions -dont get fucked over, and making scripts to make backing up and -restoring files easier.\\ -\\ -Wanta sync bookmarks, browser settings, addons... across browsers on -different devices? Dont use the stupid google account or -[[https://digdeeper.club/articles/mozilla.xhtml][mozilla]] bullshit that -sells your information and gives it to the NSA. All you gotta do is copy -your .mozilla, .librewolf, or where ever the fuck your browser is -storing everything onto your harddrive than you can paste it onto -whatever device you want. Making a script to speed things up a bit isnt -too hard either.\\ -\\ -For those who dont know how to find things I personally use -[[https://americas.lexar.com/product/lexar-professional-sl600-portable-ssd/][one -of these bad boys]]. - -** Password manager - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: passwords - :END: -Do you use the same password for everything? Thats fucking stupid. Do -you click yes when your asked if you want the password saved? Those -builtin password managers tend to get hacked and people arent good about -backing them up so they fucking lose everything easily. *The best -password manager is a spreadsheet!* But wouldnt that be a easy way for -your information to get leaked you say? *Thats why spreadsheet programs -have encryption options.* Now you only have to remember one password but -can still have strong passwords for everything, your welcome. Dont use -stupid ass closed source shit like microsoft office. Instead get -yourself libreoffice. Openoffice is old af so I wouldnt trust it for -password locked spreadsheets. Do you dual boot and wanta share it on -multiple OS's? Use a shared file partition. Wanta back it up to the -cloud? Use a external harddrive like I already said but if you do throw -it on a cloud service they arent going to get into that mother fucker -*if you used a different password than the one for the cloud service*. - -** Watching youtube - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: youtube - :END: -Hate google but still wanta watch youtube? There are some tricks you can -do. - -*** mpv - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: mpv - :END: -One of the features mpv has is it can stream youtube videos. I try to -use alterative youtube web clients and they tend to work great for -searching for videos but poop out when you try to play the video. When -this happens just throw the youtube url into mpv. Also under the hood -youtube channels are just rss feeds so you can use a feed reader to keep -up with your favorite channels than watch them with mpv. I also talk a -bit about that [[file:linux_room.html#liferea][here]]. - -*** yt-dlp - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: yt-dlp - :END: -[[https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp][yt-dlp]] is for downloading your -fucking videos! Check out -[[https://reddit.com/r/youtubedl/comments/15xqg3t/ytdlp_for_dummies][this -reddit post]] for a little dummy guide/cheatsheat. - -*** Newpipe - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: newpipe - :END: -Great little mobile youtube client. Has the best interface out of all -the youtube clients. And it can import your subs from your youtube -account using that same file my rss feed list script uses. Once you get -your subs from your youtube account you can ditch that mother fucker! It -poops out sometimes but the devs are fast to fix it. - -*** Revanced - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: revanced - :END: -Revanced is a project that patches the official mobile youtube client to -block ads and do other cool things. The official site is -[[https://revanced.app][here]]. On search engines the unofficial -websites show up first so be careful. Some people have used the -unofficial websites without getting hacked while others have gotten -their google accounts hacked using it. I dont really care for revanced -too much because it still requires you sign into a google account and -for the most part use the official youtube client even if it has a few -patches. - -** Headphones - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: headphones - :END: -Need a pair of no bullshit bluetooth headphones that work just fine on -any device and dont use any stupid app? Get -[[https://www.skullcandy.com/products/hesh-evo-wireless-headphones][one -of these bad boys]]. They have bad ass 40mm drivers and quite good -frequency response. They are about the most balanced headphones -skullcandy sells and atleast for consumer headphone standards they are -balanced. *Most consumer headphones are unnaturally bassy to try to -cover up the fact they are pieces of shit* because most of you fuckers -think more bass means better sound. Hesh headphones have enough bass to -itch that scratch while still being actually good headphones. Most -bluetooth headphones have a weak single and barely ever manages to -connect. Hesh headphones on the other hand have a nice strong signal and -are the only bluetooth devices that have not gave me shit. And guess -what? They still have plenty of battery life! They actually have a -usable headphone jack, the interface is good old buttons instead of -swipe bullshit, and they dont even have an app let alone lock features -behind one!\\ -\\ -They are built to last and can survive whatever shit life throws at -them. You can also get the anc which are a active noise canneling -version but they tend to make a slight clicking sound sometimes when anc -mode is enabled. For us sensative people the clicking renders the anc -useless and the hesh models already have good passive noise canneling as -is. The evos cost less than the anc and they have slightly better sound -and battery life. Though I guess if an anc mode that makes an annoying -clicking sound is your thing have at it with the hesh anc. As much as I -hate outside noise the clicking is nearly just as bad.\\ -\\ -Skullcandy's tend to be the main pick for musicians. Thats because alot -of us know better than to waste money on buying shit from apple, bose, -jbl, sony... when skullcandy sells way better headphones for a fraction -of the price. - -** Guitar, bass and related things - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: music - :END: -*** Fender style guitars - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: fender-style-guitars - :END: -Wanta buy a electric guitar? Do yourself a favor and get a g&l. They are -the best electric guitars money can buy. Mainly for basses but also -guitars Music Man also has some fine stuff. As far as fender goes the -*american fenders are overpriced pieces of shit!* Instead get yourself a -mexican fender, japenese fender, or even a squier! My first electric was -a mexican fender and its a really great guitar though as great as -mexican fenders are g&l and Music Man are just better though I didnt -know about them at the time. I been fucking around with some g&l -hardware on a squier tele but tbh I have never owned a g&l as much as I -like them. - -*** Gibson style guitars - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: gibson-style-guitars - :END: -*Never buy a gibson!* Might as well buy a fucking tesla to match your -gibson! Instead get yoursefl a fine epiphone and if you do get a -epiphone there is no finer epiphone than their version of the firebird. -Its a through body so it doesnt have the same neck issues as most gibson -style guitars though beware of finish cracking around the nut though its -not a problem (most of the time). - -*** Straps - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: straps - :END: -I always get strap lock. The fucking strap buttons hurts my autism. I -dont fucking want to see a guitar or bass fucking hit the ground. Strap -lock will save your stupid ass. I have seen people preforming live have -their guitar hit the ground. - -** I need a new pc or laptop - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: computer - :END: -Does it have linux installed? If not install linux and that mother -fucker will last many more years. - -[[file:images/stonks.jpg]] [[file:images/tiny_lain.gif]] - -Already have linux? Get something that isnt linux! Some of the more -funky options include: - -- [[https://www.haiku-os.org][Hauku]] -- [[https://kolibrios.org][Kolibrios]] -- [[https://templeos.org][Good old templeOS]] -- [[https://serenityos.org][SerenityOS]] -- [[https://toaruos.org][Toaruos]] -- [[https://www.redox-os.org][Redox]] - -** Mice? - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: mice - :END: -As much as I dont like big brands the best mouse money can buy is the -logitech G203 lightsync. I dont like overpriced gaming mice. They often -feel wrong in my hands, are overpriced pieces of shit, fucking shit out -in linux... I use to game with shitty office mice because of that. The -G203 is shaped like a office mouse and is the right weight. Fuck the -super heavy and super lite shit. And the cool shaped gaming mice fuck up -peoples hands. The magic of the G203 is you can still get gaming mouse -features like smooth tracking that isnt shit, a good ass scroll wheel, -dpi button, side clicks, and rgb while still having a reasonable shape -and weight. In linux there is even a piece of software called piper so -you can configure your G203 without closed source windows bullshit! To -top things off the G203 costs far less than all the fancy mice and out -preforms them. Even if you just want a office mouse the G203 is going to -not only be a big upgrade to your 2010s office mouse I know you use but -also completely outclass all those overpriced modern office mice your -boss spends too much of their 6 figures on. - -** Keyboards because why not - :PROPERTIES: - :CUSTOM_ID: keyboards - :END: -I use a modded dierya DK61SE. Just a little funky keyboard but I dig it. -I replaced the keycaps, tubed up the switches, put foam or some shit -inside to make it sound better, and some friend did a little bandade -hack to make the guides for the larger buttons shake less. |
