  • Did a fresh install of linux mint recently, because of that a good chunk of my software has been FOSS, however, when it comes to all the gaming related stuff I’ve installed (drivers, clients, etc.) its been a hit or miss with more proprietary software then i’d like.

    Will say, I’ve struggled for a while to find a good open source music player for local files, I’d love some recommendations (currently trying Rhythmbox but I don’t feel I’ll love it)




  • First big step I took was going through all my emails and deleting inactive accounts/making deletion requests. It was a major hassle but made me feel a lot more secure about my email and digital footprint. Plus built a real basic understanding about taking a more minimalist approach to the internet, suddenly I wasn’t getting emails every hour and random notifications, it was nice.

    Other then that ublock origin and your password manager of choice that hopefully isn’t attached to the browser, oh and 2fa








  • i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.

    But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.

    If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)
