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. |
