Linux@programming.dev•What Software Do You Use? INCLUDING OPERATING SYSTEMEnglish
6·27 days agoI have several machines, a few of which I plan to reinstall sooner or later, so:
# System Distro: Devuan GNU+Linux, Void Linux, NetBSD, Alpine Linux (near future), Guix (near future) Init System: OpenRC, SysVinit, Shepherd (near future) Window Manager: cwm, Fluxbox, Xfce, river-classic (near future), *TBD* (near future) Shell: ksh93 Terminal: Alacritty, Sakura, foot, Xfce Terminal Terminal Multiplexer: dvtm Application Launcher: (WM builtin), rofi Notification: dunst, Xfce Notifier Compositor: Picom, XCompMgr, wlroots, Xfwm Panel: Polybar, fbpanel, Xfce Panel, *TBD* (near future) Audio: PulseAudio, ALSA, OSS # The Web Web Browser: Tor Browser, Librewolf Chat: Discord, Signal VPN: IVPN # File Management File Browser: Midnight Commander, Nemo, PCManFM, Thunar File Sharing: Syncthing, netcat, (physical disks) Torrent: KTorrent, Deluge Git CLI: Game Of Trees, Git # File Creation/Modification Text Editor: nano Code Editor: nano LaTeX Editor: TeXStudio Image Editor: GIMP, GraphicsMagick Video Editor: OpenShot, ffmpeg, blind Audio Editor: Tenacity, KWave, ffmpeg Document Editor: OpenOffice, nano # File Viewing Music Player: qmmp Media Player: MPlayer Image Viewer: imv Document Viewer: Zathura # Utility Screenshotter: scrot, grim Video Recorder: SSR, wf-recorder Color Picker: gpick, GIMP, (custom script I keep losing) Default Apps: XDG Dotfile Manager: `cp -r ~/.* /path/to/disk` Network TUI: nano, nmtui, nyx Bluetooth TUI: bluetoothctl Volume TUI: pactl, alsamixer, mixerctl Disk Analyzer: Baobab Wallpaper: Nitrogen, swaybg Markdown Renderer: glow # Gaming Game Launcher: Steam, PrismLauncher # Productivity Flashcard: (physical cards)I also plan to run Haiku on one of my older machines, but I can’t write down its components (e.g. init system, audio server), as it’s more monolithic than NetBSD or GNU/Linux.
To transfer files using netcat, it’s:
# Replace 1337 with any port number you like nc -vl 1337 > file # On recipient nc -N 192.168.X.X 1337 < file # On senderOf course, things like compression and encryption need to be done beforehand; but one would hopefully use other means to transfer such files.

(InfoSec vs. PrivSec, perhaps?)
Depending on your drivers, you could give Guix a go. It’s not for everyone; but it’s decent, solid, and I used to run it on a 32-bit machine with 3GB of RAM.
If you do require nonfree drivers, there are guides to set it up using Nonguix; but I don’t know how well that works (I am yet to try it).

Anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com•[Question]What radicalized you?English
6·1 month agoNot sure really. It’s been a slow progression for me from dead centre on the political compass over into anarcho-socialist territory.
That said, my taste for punk rock, the feeling of betrayal over my government’s stance on trans rights, and hearing about the shit that world governments get away with without repurcussion definititely helped.

It doesn’t contain AI-generated code (unlike deno, Node, and bun); or at least, it didn’t the last time I checked.
