anybody got some recent software recommendations that you cant live without anymore?

uBlock Origin on Mozilla Firefox

as well as rethink DNS on mobile

I’m not supposed to take that literally of course, but I don’t think software has such an important role in our lives, for most of us. Water, food, air. Those you can’t live without. When it comes to software, I spend most of my workdays in the shell (vim, git, grep,…) and if $place allows in mutt+weechat (although that’s mostly outlook and teams). Nothing particularly new!

Nextcloud with Files, Talk, Calendar, Memories and more is damn useful for family life though 🙂

considering the replies, i think the "recent" flag got overlooked

…

is emacs recent enough

Hello

hey

What's everyone's favorite book? Mine is Anathem.

Pretty much anything Becky Chambers writes, just got started in As you wake, break the shell. But I think my all time favorite is record of a spaceborn few.

Use of Weapons by Iain M Bamks. Absolutely stuffed full of scenarios, a gut-wrenching story and another of his great twists at the end.

…

Maybe I need to re-read this because I kind of bounced off of it. Loved Player of Games, though.

i was reading from Ballard's "The Complete Stories of …" today. I don't have a "favourite book" but it's one of my faves and it was in my hands today.

Great Expectations

Hi, teying to get started with linux and basic networking/cybersec here. What are some essential linux commands ant tools, or pentesting philosophies i should learn before i dip my toes in the water? Thanks :)

Essential commands are: ip for network interface and routing config host/dig/nslookup for DNS querying tc for traffic control nft for firewalling mii-tool for interface tweaking nmap for LAN discovery tcpdump to view traffic ping/ping6/traceroute/traceroute6/mtr for debugging connection issues

thanks so much. i will look into those

there's also ufw (and its gufw) as an alternative to firewalld. apparmor, if you care.

…

thanks, :)

You’ll learn Linux commands as you go not as the goal itself.

Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.

Emacs is what I despise and love, the thing I can't work without now

…

mostly vs code now but team nvim.

$ nano hello.txt

what a classic
