    I’ve been disappointed by many and don’t trust commercial space.

    Dig around and you will find no so pleasant information on DDG and Kagi. I suspect same is true for any business backed search.

    I used both and eventually run into negative information, which made me reconsider both. I started with DDG, then Kagi.

    It is SearXNG all the way for me now and there are no regrets so far. Other post on it is the best option.








  • 2 years old need to learn interaction with other people.

    That’s how they learn language.

    So, spend time with them, not the screen. Screen time will come by itself.

    In fact there’s data of development delays if kids are exposed to screen at early ages. That is because our eyes like movement, but screen picture doesn’t provide meaningful world context. Especially games.

    Only personal interaction gives words in meaningful action context.

    My wife is speech pathologist, so I am sharing what I wax told.

    We have a friend, who didn’t listen to no screen time. Kid is delayed in development. It is serious staff and yet so simple to prevent.

    Give your kids all the time you can in 1st several years.




  • There are more topics to cover than just encryption. Less on encryption, more on other topics.

    Is it p2p or server model? I happen to lookup and it seems to be server as intermediary.

    Is server side open sourced? Who is running servers? How does client choose the server to connect to? if hop server is tracking data, what will it see?

    With all that end address obfuscation, how user friendly is establishing a connection with a friend?



  • I use kvm switch and run into this issue.

    I am currently on Fedora 41, Gnome. I’ve seen this issue when running Arch on the same hardware without kvm switch to the point that I disabled suspend.

    The fix for me is Ctrl-Alt-F1. It simply brings display manager’s login screen. Gnome on Fedora 41 uses gdm.

    The rationale here is simple: the display manager should be resetting screen to display login screen.


  • I switched to XFS.

    The most important feature to me is support for file deduction which is supported by XFS through reflink. BTRFS supports reflinks as well.

    Snapshot in BTRFS seems like the most desirable feature, but in real life I ended up not using it.

    I usually prefer drive mirror setup, but it can give its own headaches.

    These days I simply have 2 disks and nightly rsync job copies content of one drive to another. This protects from drive failure.

    Rclone job sends most important data to offsite backup.

    The biggest loss is missing data checksums, but it is a unique feature of BTRFS that most filesystems manage without.

    I don’t have setup to expand partition beyond one drive. It comes with its own headache. I simply use large enough disks.
