Reading through the info on the main page is concerning. It sounds like AI slop, or someone writing in that style. No developer writes like that about their project.

If it actually does all the things it says, great. Let me know.

Follow up: this is the calculator I use on Linux. I didn’t realize it had Windows builds available.

I’m guessing that pfBlockerNG is using the IPInfo database to query what IPs the ASNs own, so I think it would be required. ASNs are not static, so it wouldn’t make sense to ship a database of them, it would immediately be outdated.

I would check out Lapce and CudaText. They are both solid editors. If you are comfortable in the terminal, then nvim as well, of course.

cudatext as a notepad replacement. It’s closer to a full featured text editor, but is very quick to startup with no extensions installed.

I have no idea about replacing paint, but irfanview for simple viewing, cropping, resizing, swapping formats, etc.

For calculator stuff I sometimes just open the Python REPL. If you know the language (even a little bit) it does all the things and more. Every time I try to use the Windows calculator it annoys me trying to find the right button and them accidently putting another operator instead of equal or vice versa.

I wrote this little webapp thing some time ago. It’s not exactly what you asked for but is a good example.

All it does is base64 encode a link and adds the server url in front of it. When someone visits that link it will redirect them to the destination. The intent is to bypass simple link tracking / blocking in discord and other platforms.

There are also checks for known bad domains and an attempt to remove known tracking query parameters.

Yeah they basically block all non-residential IPs now. Has been a thing for a while, about since they started selling their dataset for ML training.

I clicked on this because I thought it was a mouse with an interesting design and microphone.

The one thing I wouldn’t agree with is ffmpeg.

It does not do one thing. It does a thousand things. The way different functionality works is inconsistent. In some cases you need to read the source code to understand how or why something is happening, as it’s not generated in the already expansive documentation. To me, it’s the antithesis of the UNIX philosophy.

That said, it’s a brilliant piece of software.

Admittedly I’ve only used it with a preconfigured theme and no need for real customization. If you do need those features, I’d imagine the other commenters are correct.

I would also recommend Hugo, and believe it meets your requirements. The header markdown looks very similar to what you wrote, and it has tags. I’m not sure about a tag “cloud” the way you imagine it, but it’s worth looking into.

I have a storage VPS and use Borg backup with Borgmatic. In my case, I have multiple systems in different repos on the remote. There are several providers, such as hetzner, borgbase, and rsync.net that offer borg storage, in the event you don’t want to manage the server yourself.

It’s increasingly harder to exchange for fiat anonymously, especially when you consider XMR or other privacy coins. Once the people in charge of money realized they were a bit subverted, you got the huge crackdown.

I still use it for various things. Buy LTC from a legit licensed exchange. Move it around a bit. Change to XMR through an exchange that doesn’t care. Maybe move it around some more. It’s a giant pain, but I don’t know a better way. This method isn’t perfect, more of a balance of risk, but it’s better than just handing your entire entity over for a simple transaction.

yetCalc?

I don’t know if it’s on the play store.

Rofi is cool but don’t forget about qalculate (the backend)

That was my first thought, why is this not written in a scripting language. Any one.

There is not, but I will add one.

Have you been wronged by njalla?

I think having an external owner is preferable.

I know you said consumer GPU, but I run a used Tesla P40. It has 24 GB of vram. The price has gone up since I got it a couple years ago, there might be better options in the same price category. Still, it’s going to be cheaper than a modern full fat consumer gpu, with a reasonable performance hit.

My use case is text generation, chat kind of things. In most cases, the inference is more than fast enough, but it can get slow when swapping out large context lengths.

Mostly I run quantized 8-20B models with the sweet spot being around 12. For specialized use cases outside of general language, you can run more compact models. The general output is quite good, and I would have never had thought it was possible 10 years ago.

ETA: I paid about $200 USD for the P40 a couple years ago, plus the price for a fan and 3d printed shroud.

I would do FDE yeah. My current laptop setup is with systemd-boot and a special initramfs that allows me to unlock it with a yubikey, with fallback to password. Fair warning, this exact configuration is not particularly easy to setup.

There are also modules which enable early network connectivity along with a SSH server, meaning you login and unlock it remotely. I have not tried this.

Debian does not frequently require rebooting under normal circumstances. Kernel updates are not that frequent, and you can usually put it off for a bit if you don’t want to deal with it.
