    Don't just "apt autoremove" packages

    @osprey @WinterOwl You guys deserve a medal, I'm noting down these commands into my grimoire for future reference :p

    Don't just "apt autoremove" packages

    You read my mind lol, I've been asking myself this a few times but didn't investigate because I thought there is no way of purging config files of those packages which were removed but not purged. I've run the command and there is quite a bit of left over config files in the output. Is there...

    @osprey That was very informative!, thank you for explaining, certainly learned something new.

    Don't just "apt autoremove" packages

    This is a short hint which I wish to share because I regret for not knowing it before. When removing unneeded package we usually do sudo apt remove but if you're purge fanatic like me then you'll instead run: sudo apt purge to also remove configuration files of that package. And then if there...

    lvdisplay showing wrong size after increasing size of VM disk

    Because I don't know your exact setup please use the following procedure at your own risk (ex. make a backup first): First, if target filesystem called /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv you want to extend is root filesystem, then bring target system offline and access virtual disk in offline...

    Unable to change default viewer for pdf docs

    Which suggests that Image Magic is the default application set somewhere in DE settings, so instead of adjusting Image Magic settings (which your screenshot suggests) you should check settings in your DE for default applications. It would help if you set out (or post screenshot of) DE settings...

    lvdisplay showing wrong size after increasing size of VM disk

    You've resized virtual disk size but that operation likely did not resize filesystem. See if your XenOrchestra program offers options to resize filesystem. Otherwise the command which is used to resize ext2,3,4 filesystem is called resize2fs make sure to run man resize2fs to see how it works...

    Is the real world good enough?

    @dos2unix In a sense that flees jump all over the place and even out of the bag as you attempt put them in. The point is that it tells a lot about the nature of people or when you have to deal with many of them. Exactly!

    I give up, but not entirely!

    Yes, there are online services which can auto generate these to suit your website and are less costly, some $ 100 minimum, but I'm not sure what warranties if any at all they provide, I'm pretty sure you'll be subject to their TOS which is yet another potential legal issue to consider if you...

    I give up, but not entirely!

    That's a big problem to do. First of all doing this constitutes a Copyright infringement. Their TOS or Privacy Policy and ALL other content on their websites is protected by Copyright laws. Website owners from whom one would steal any of their content could very easily detect that or could be...

    I give up, but not entirely!

    All of the website content (text, images, videos etc..) that you write to be displayed on your website is written entirely in markdown which is very easy to learn and to write, far easier than writing HTML or using any other web language such as JavaScript. Once you have your stuff written in...

    What makes you trust DuckDuckGo is OK for privacy?

    To be totally honest with you, you're right, I shouldn't have limit this thread to positive comments only, so I'll go ahead and undo that in my OP. Problem with negative comments is that it's easy for them to cancel out any positivity in the thread, making the whole discussion pointless for...

    What makes you trust DuckDuckGo is OK for privacy?

    For the purpose of IP hiding on "clear web" Tor does it's job, and for tracking protection I think NoScript add-on is good enough if customized. But reducing returned junk in search results that I agree with, Tor browser extensions don't help with that (except uBlock for ads), if this is so...

    What makes you trust DuckDuckGo is OK for privacy?

    I find it much easier to run Tor browser inside a VM, which I'm doing when both security and privacy are paramount.

    What makes you trust DuckDuckGo is OK for privacy?

    Yeah I see: This unfortunately means slower searches which I'm not willing to trade :( If only it would be developed in some compiled language rather than Python, this also slows down processing a little. But otherwise it's an interesting project.

    What makes you trust DuckDuckGo is OK for privacy?

    That's a very interesting innovation! I'm curious whether it isn't just another way of doing what uBlock origin and NoScript add-ons do with default google search results. Probably more than that, didn't read entire readme.md or wikis but it's certainly new thing to me and interesting. "IP...

    What makes you trust DuckDuckGo is OK for privacy?

    I have many times thinking about whether to use and trust this search engine in hope to dump google. It seems like one worth trying out. If you're user of DuckDuckGo (or have been using it) what are your arguments to trust it for privacy reasons? Please avoid any negative (or thread title...

    I give up, but not entirely!

    @KGIII It looks like I'll really have to give up entirely then :( I can't think of a way to hide money trail or to hide communications doing this. I guess those who do this do so by filing lawsuits for which they don't need to be lawyers, I suppose their targets consider coming to a mutual...

    I give up, but not entirely!

    So I was considering about starting my website to earn some extra cash, don't ask what the site would be about it's not that important but I'm sure I would be making money in time... It all went fine, even though I'm not web developer I found out methods to bring my site online within hours...
