There is a file shredder Flatpak that I use: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.ADBeveridge.Raider

Fair enough. We just see a lot of people who say "I'm using Kali because I want to be a 1337 h4x0r!" but they should be using a beginner-friendly distro.

@Arthurbow: just out of curiosity, have you read https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux/? It's something everyone considering Kali should know.

@osprey: I've seen it said that with today's higher-capacity RAM, the 1x-2x swap rule no longer is applicable. Simply adding a few gigabytes should be sufficient swap, if you need it at all. In fact, systems that have 16+ GB of RAM (or even 8+, depending on your use case) and systems that only...

Well, I bought a Thinkpad on discount. Looks like I get Windows with it, but ehh... It could come in handy, I guess. I'm going to repurpose my old laptop as a Windows machine for the few things I may need Windows for, and since it had Windows preinstalled, I won't have to buy it, so I guess...

Hmmm... Doesn't look bad, although it's (a) not 14" and (b) I was hoping to get another 2-in-1. I may just have to buy a Windows Lenovo (possibly a Yoga X1 or whatever they're called) and drop Linux on it.

I'm planning to replace my laptop this Black Friday season, but during my "pre-shopping" I noticed a disturbing fact: Lenovo seems to have quietly dropped most Linux devices (at least laptops), as you can see here: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/d/linux-laptops-desktops/ "49 results", says the...

Indeed. I'd suggest asking your employer to provide you with a work machine.

NoMachine should work if you are using X11.

Agreed... I too have Crowdstrike at work and I think that you are out of place to push back against having it on your work machine. Businesses need to take security seriously and it's good that your company is doing so. @Old Tom Bombadil, you hit the nail on the head here.

I've seen starship, but it didn't quite suit my fancy (and anyway, it's more fun to roll your own!).

Yesterday I dove into Bash prompt customization. Having emerged from the other side, I'm interested in seeing if anybody else has custom prompts in their shell. To start things off, here's mine: An overview of the components of this: 0. A battery indicator that shows if the battery needs...

Looks like Mint to me.

Qt Creator for C++ for me.

Email is a good example of federation. Any two email servers can communicate with each other, and you can make your own email server.

Indeed. I had to wonder the same thing. This article could use a grammatical overhaul by @KGIII.

You could try asking them in their Matrix rooms. They'd be much more likely to respond there. Specifically, try #matrix-dev:matrix.org

How did you contact them?

I know for a fact that the Matrix people are working on getting together a Matrix app with your own server embedded, so you're always decentralized. As far as web hosting, that doesn't need Matrix. Just pop Apache on your PC.
