Bonjour à tous, j'espère que vous passez un bon vendredi. En tant que francophile, je me demandais où vous trouviez vos recommandations de livres? Pour les livres en anglais, je consulte principalement des sites comme Goodreads, des recommandations d'amis (qui semblent beaucoup provenir de TikTok), ou je navigue simplement, car je sais en quelque sorte ce que je cherche

Pour la littérature française, c'est un peu plus difficile pour moi, en dehors d'aller dans une des libraires et de feuilleter, où trouvez-vous vos prochaines lectures?

Merci d'avance pour les suggestions! :3

Hello everyone! I was wondering what advice people have in acquiring PS2 memory cards. I recently acquired a PS2 slim for my birthday, and frankly my only experience with memory card based consoles is a backwards compatible Wii (where I have a memory card + virtual memory cards on the SD / backups of the memory card)

What is the safest route (in terms of longevity / corruption) to go (with or without homebrew).

Thank you for your feedback, looking forward to trying some classics I missed out when I was younger :)

This is a great alternative to Apple / Google maps for public transit takers. Generally speaking their data is a lot better for service issues, rerouted lines, and the actual time of arrival for transit vehicles. Many transit authorities in Canada actually offer the premium subscription for this app, for free, to frequent riders AND the app is developed locally (in Québec)

If you're just looking for general maps however I highly suggest Open Street Map, or the Organic Maps app on Android (which uses OSM data). While they aren't explicitly Canadian, they get you away from American tech conglomerates and give back ownership of data to you, the user!

Hello everyone!

I was wondering what solutions people have for Calendar syncing that are not Proton / Tuta.

Specifically, I was wondering what E2EE options are available that are ideally cross-platform as well.

The main reason why I ask is I am frankly frustrated with how both Tuta and Proton rely on their own apps, and don't necessarily integrate well with all operating systems. Especially with Proton's growing suite of apps, it feels like they are in some ways creating their own walled garden. While it is at this time a better privacy option than the conventional options, it is still a situation that feels like a vendor lock-in situation.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, including those that require a self-hosted server :)

Recently I borrowed my partner's copy of Links Awakening for the Nintendo Switch. I understand that many people did not enjoy the remake due to the graphics but I am one of the weirdos who somewhat enjoys the cutesy round graphics with the intense depth of field / forced perspective look. From a pure graphical standpoint I think this is a really good way of remaking a top down GB / GBC game for a new platform. I similarly enjoyed Pokémon Alpha Sapphire's graphics despite many others not enjoying them.

I think this has to be one of the most frustrating remakes I have played in recent history, solely for the inability to use the dpad for 8 direction movement. I am not against the remake using the joystick for movement, for example the aforementioned Pokémon game alows for the circle pad and the dpad to be used (for 360 degree movement and 8 direction tile based movement). My frustration with the controls in link's awakening is the forced use of the joystick with 8 direction tile based movement. What could have otherwise been an enjoyable experience is made more difficult, and leaves me wondering why I am not playing the original on my 3ds instead.

I do really enjoy many of the QoL improvements in the remake, the graphics, and the music. I also appreciate having the X and Y buttons available unlike the original gameboy versions. I'm still going to power through it, but sadly the GBC version is going to be the definitive version for me despite this version coming so close for me.

I have thought about this on and off for quite a few years now, and I was just wondering what people here have done while maintaining account / device security.

I hope people don't mind this rather morbid conversation, but how have people here planned for what will happen with their accounts, computers, self hosted things etc. in the event of their deaths? I am particularly interested in what people have planned for if they are the person in their household who is self hosting things for the household. I'm not in a living situation that allows me to self host much but it is one of the questions I've had for myself when I decide to move in with my significant other and self host more things. I don't think they could manage much of the self hosted stuff and I also don't think they can remember all of the credentials for accounts etc., is the best way of going about it sharing a keepass database or bitwarden account with them?

In regards to my accounts, I am not expecting most of my accounts to transfer, if anything I'd much rather them be deleted (and I have enabled this feature where possible). There are a few however, that I wouldn't mind leaving to someone after my passing. Is there a privacy and security preserving way of setting this up?

I guess I have just been struggling with how to do this, ideally I would want a way for accounts to transfer to someone listed in my will, but I don't think it's a good idea to give ~2-3 people a copy of my keepass databse while I am still living.

I am looking forward to hearing what people's thoughts are on this matter, and I apologize again for such a morbid topic.

Good afternoon!

I was wondering if anyone had experience with using rechargeable AAs (specifically Panasonic Enloops / Enloop Pros). I have yet to try them, but hypothetically they should work as they don't exceed the maximum voltage of 1.5 per cell. (They're 1.2 per cell, closer to what a disposable battery is part way through its life cycle)

I also was wondering if anyone has ever found rechargeable batteries that would work in the main body. I have yet to find one that isn't 3.7v (exceeding the normal 3v of the disposable ones) which would likely render the camera inoperable.

Thank you for your time :)

The wallpaper is just a cropped image from the scans of the games manual found here, note these are spoilers!, Tunic is an absolutely lovely game I have been playing on my Switch and I highly recommend it to people who really enjoy the difficulty of older Nintendo games but want a more polished experience. The way the game integrates the "manual" is really intriguing

For a while I was experimenting with different plasma themes but I landed back on the good old reliable gruvbox dark theme.

Edit: my apologies for not perfectly aligning two of the images in Gimp, I forgot to press the button that aligns them horizontally and not just vertically :p

Here is the github page. The option for different « optics » is neat, and the inclusion of DDG bangs style syntax is also appreciated.

I just thought I would post what I am currently using! Right now I have a Lamy Safari with Sailor Irori red ink, and then I have my Pilot Prera with Pilot Ishroizuku Take Sumi. For the books, I have 2 Rhodia Composition Books that I am using for Uni and then I have my Hobonichi A6 Hon for planning. I am actually enjoying the new Tomoe River S paper found in the Hobo, but I do know some people think the old one is better (I don't particularly have a preference they both seem very great and very lightweight / thin)

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issue as I have. I know how I would approach this if Akregator was installed on the system rather than as a flatpak, I would just change the command run by the app when opening in an external browser to flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox about:reader?url=%u which just appends the about:reader portion to automatically open it as such. This command does work from my terminal but naturally does not work with Akregator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As the title states, I am just curious what peoples opinions are on secureblue, as well as the many other images that exist (notably Bazzite for the SteamDeck)
