  • I never installed Linux myself, only used it for a bit, so what do you have to do to not be a complete noob? This is only a half serious question, but what do you think you have to do, to be a proficient Linux user? This sounds a bit like when I got my master’s degree and did not have the feeling that I know anything or have learned valuable skills, but to someone with only a high school diploma I would look rather proficient.













  • For me, privacy on the Internet was something I wanted for a long time, but was too lazy to do. The decisive moment for me was the story with Reddit, at the same time YouTube goes against adblockers, Twitter goes down and Google develops technology to determine with which browser I visit websites.

    Lemmy quickly intrigued me, and privacy is a big deal here. I don’t want my digital life to be controlled by mega-corporations, so I’m gradually getting out. I’m slowly working my way through https://www.privacyguides.org/ and https://www.privacytools.io/ and hope to be done by the end of the year.

    So far I have managed to

    • Set up Pihole
    • Set up Bitwarden
    • Set up New email address
    • I am using SearXNG
    • Librefox for PC and Icedraven for Android are downloaded and will be used soon.

    Next phone will be a Pixel, so I can use GrapheneOS.

    So to answer your question, yes mostly privacy.





  • I I have been programming with Matlab for 8 years and am switching to Python. I’m focusing on deep learning applications and have been using ChatGPT to answer general questions about Python as interactive documentation. Would you say Copilot would be better for this use case or only better when I am a bit more advanced with Python?
