I've been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don't visit the site if I can help it, I don't login, I don't "like & subscribe", I don't see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don't see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.
Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!
I'd go for Alpine Linux in such case.
I'll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it's often hard to find good books in other languages. I'd also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:
- (German)
- "Die Welten der Skiir" trilogy (by Dirk van den Boom): https://bookwyrm.social/book/593373/s/die-welten-der-skiir-1 is really great . He also wrote another trilogy (Die Reise der Scythe) which is also quite nice.
- "3517 Anno Domini: Wir waren Götter" by Raik Thorstad. Note that his is a primarily an M/M romance, but it has a nice dystopian scifi setting.
- (Spanish)
- "En un lugar llamado tierra" - I read this long ago, don't remember much: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979935/s/en-un-lugar-llamado-tierra
- La señal - https://bookwyrm.social/book/979918/s/la-senal
- (French) The works by Jules Verne should probably be mentioned here, despite being written well a century ago. "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers", as already mentioned in another comment, is a must-read classic.
- "Helstrid" - I have this one on my e-reader for a while but haven't properly started it yet: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1289177/s/helstrid , so I can't say if it's any good.
- (Dutch) Long ago as a teen I once read "Coriolis, de stormplaneet" and liked it: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979934/s/coriolis-de-stormplaneet
I'm using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:
- make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
- time tracking functions
- synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail
Not really, though it wouldn't be hard to add, say via a cronjob.
As a kooikerhondje owner, I approve of this post :)
I'm not much of a distro-hopper. I think I've been on just four distros on my daily-driving desktop & laptop since about 1999:
- RedHat (around 1999, starting with 6.0)
- Mandrake (around 2001?)
- Ubuntu (around 2006)
- Arch Linux (around 2012 - today), and no intention to hop. In fact, I recently bought a new PC and installed Arch again. On the previous machine, I installed it once and it rolled nicely its entire lifetime.
My personal server has been running Ubuntu LTS for ages, I might have run debian a long time ago, but I'm not sure anymore. Nowadays I run a container setup, and those are running on Alpine Linux.
Yes, it's just sway
