Cass.Forest@beehaw.orgto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is Windscribe a good VPN for torrenting?English11·1 year agoJust a note that Proton VPN doesn’t allow P2P on their free plan.
Yeah that’s fair
By imager, I just mean when installing an OS
So there’s no way of just telling the imager to skip a folder or two? Would switching over even be worth it?
Currently I’m just waiting out job applications to hopefully pay me more than my two part time jobs (or at least one of them) and have me working less for it
I keep considering putting Arch on my desktop (it currently has Ubuntu) but I feel like I would have to back up all my files. Is there a way to upgrade without backing up everything onto one of my hard drives? I’m just worried I’d miss something
Cass.Forest@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action?English2·2 years agoAs far as I can remember, that may be possible if/when we spool our framework, however, the Lemmy devs have said that they don’t want people doing this. Do take this with a grain of salt as I know my memory isn’t great.
Wow, I thought this was a real picture

I would actually recommend VSCodium; it’s the same product but without the Microsoft telemetry.
Exhausted. Working 52.5 hours this week between my two jobs.
The manager if one of my jobs is on vacation and because that leaves me, another person, and three new hires (one of which hasn’t been showing up for her correct shifts), I’m scheduled to work every single day until my last day (Thursday). I had to go directly from that job to my other job today. I’m dying inside.
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
Cass.Forest@beehaw.orgOPto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•FOSS Language LearningEnglish2·2 years agoI will definitely be considering LWT when I look for apps to self-host once I move out of my current place (long story). Might even look into developing a better UI if I get the time.
Cass.Forest@beehaw.orgOPto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•FOSS Language LearningEnglish1·2 years agoI have looked at Anki before and I am familiar with it. I have a few decks on there, one for German via Nicos Weg and another for Japanese Kanji Radicals via Wanikani (I think that’s what it’s called). I suppose re “fringe” languages, it’s only as good as the decks, and there might be some out there for them.
Anyway, I feel like Anki alone isn’t enough for me. I can sometimes get a little demotivated to study for a day or two and then I’m set back in my studies (or at least I feel that way).
I’ve been trying to ditch my shitty cafe job for a less shitty cafe job somewhere else. And my current job wants to promote me to shift lead (even though they know I’m applying to various places). But in any case, I live in an at-will state, so I really don’t have any requirement to stay on if they promote me, and if I do get a better job I still intend on giving a notice to my current one.
Outside of that I think I’m doing just okay.
Cass.Forest@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Little list of custom and alternative Android ROMsEnglish2·2 years agoPotentially for my next device, I’ll look for it (and I’ll keep my eyes peeled for builds for my current device in the meantime). I already have this one so with diminishing returns, I’m gonna use the phone I have with the stock OS if that’s what I have to use (with as much de-googling and privacy-mindful configuration as possible). Potentially when I do get a new device, I might end up working on a build for the one I currently have.
But yeah, I’m not presently in the market for a new phone and I needed a cheap one quickly when I bought this one as at the time I was transitioning out of a phone my roommate had lent me at the time. It works and I’m trying to learn as much as I can about privacy-proofing this thing as much as is feasible.
Cass.Forest@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Little list of custom and alternative Android ROMsEnglish2·2 years agoI haven’t been able to find any builds of any custom OS for my phone, is it just that it’s too new (Motorola Moto G Power 2022)?
I do video editing myself in Linux and Kdenlive does pretty much everything I need. The UI is a bit odd to learn but I’d imagine any new editing software is gonna have a learning curve of some sort.
