As save-games and configs of my GOG Linux games are normally(!) outside of the installation folders (found them in my home-folder, under .local or .config), I simply install such new version .sh file into the same locations (overwriting the existing installation). But I do not know for sure, if this is the best solution in all cases.

Anyway you can easily try it by yourself after backing up your game-folder (simply zip it). This way you will not lose anything if overwriting game files will mess something up.

EDIT: maybe it is worth finding the save-game/config folder and back it up, too. Just in case the new version messes with config files.

Might be handled and freshly archived on https://archive.org/ if I understand this Message from Jason Scott correctly.

But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.

Definitely dislike MS, generations of my workstations have small, yellow “Microsoft Free Workstation” stickers on their monitors, but VSCodium (in my case) is not really bad.

Also I really like the Xbox360 console and (as a hacker and maker) still love the first Kinnect. The Kinnect is an excellent piece of sensor-hardware, was rather cheap when purchased in used condition and it works very well with Linux.

Thank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.

As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.

Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.

please see this comment above

“Edge of Thorns” was and is a masterpiece in my eyes (ears).
On the other hand I am a Savatage fan for 30 years, so maybe not too objective on this matter 🤘😅

Unfortunately, the linked video “is not available” for me (in Germany?)

If you are unhappy with suggested XSane, but only want an OSS solution, I do not know a good alternative.

Let the religious shell wars begin … again

Only right answer is of course TCSH. Not much documentation and support, ancient but still receives new bugs in 2021 (on Debian), but attackers hate it! (I love it)

My real suggestion is to learn zsh and fish (and bash). Try using them for all your purposes and in the end you will automatically find the one (or more of them) that suits you best and that you like most for your daily tasks.

For the cloud storage part I can tell that Nextcloud serves the purpose fine.

I have configured our Android devices with Nextcloud app to upload new images directly into the my-nextcloud-user/files/SofortUpload folder. It has a structure /SofortUpload/ImageFolder/year/months/images, so for example /SofortUpload/Camera/2023/08/IMG_20230803_174100.jpg

(“Sofort” is German for “immediate”)

This auto-upload has been configured and happens (in our cases) also for the mobile device folders Pictures, Screenshots, Stickers, Telegram and Wallpaper.

For the timeline and viewing part I would also take suggestions, as having not yet found a good solution.

I prefer AppImages on my Debian desktops as they normally simply work out of the box (download, start) and I had (many years ago) trouble with snap and flatpak.

Hi @Chrishering33@lemmy.world , please try the following (found on the Startpage support page):

Add the following information:

• Search engine name: Startpage
• Search string to use: https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s

But I do not know what the /sp/ part is about (maybe “sp” for “StartPage”?) and how the German /de/, that you seem to need, can be integrated.

Funny that the original post is 3 years old but it is still so actual :)

Parse JWT token which is base64 (alias is CSH syntax), usage: tokenparse filename

alias tokenparse "cat "\""\$1"\"" | jq -R 'split("\""."\"") | .[0],.[1] | @base64d | fromjson'"

I agree (also respectfully), just wanted to add, as I have seen the movie yesterday (and know the book), that the Oasis in Ready Player One is a not really a bad place. So the original OASIS is not what Meta want to have.

IOI (and Meta) want to transform an OASIS into their dystopian metaverse, like shown in the movie when IOI proudly presented their plans: a company’s dream of monetarizing every breath you take while exploiting everyone except their shareholders.

I find it good that you doubt and ask.

My answer (like OP’s one) is: You do not need to trust (blindly like for closed-source or platforms). The script is FOSS, you can check every step it does, before you use it. One of the biggest benefits of FOSS :)

I can only second Posteo. Using their services for years now, I can confirm that Posteo is caring about security, data protection and the environment (using green energy). Also you do not need to provide your mobile-phone number or personal information and you can use standard OTP apps to secure the weblogin when you want to use 2-Factor.

I am using several accounts shared between Thunderbird on Desktop and K-9 on Android.

The only issues I have is, when sending to some US providers that still do not have TLS (“Transportwegesicherung”) implemented. In this case I have to manually deactivate the “TLS-Versand-Garantie”-option in Posteo settings, before the email can be send. Happens twice a year or so.

Maybe the Posteo suggestion gets downvoted, because their mail services indeed cost money (instead of scanning your communication and selling your data). But I find 1€ per account per month a good deal for what you get.
