I was curious so I tried to register with a Proton Pass alias which is @passmail.net and they also refuse those. I think they are afraid of services which allow to easily create multiple aliases, because people could create multiple accounts very easily (scammers maybe)? It’s a dumb rationale because it’s not much harder to create many Gmail accounts but that’s the only reason I can think of.

A handful? Wow that’s gotta be like 50% of the 50 series out there!

I prefer main simply because it faster to type. I propose main branches be renamed to “m”

Good to hear! I surely will give it a try, I’ve used nixos as my work distro for a little bit last year but they forced us to switch to Ubuntu.

Okay so how is it with Cinammon, mate xfce? I know it’s crap with Wayland and Xorg especially with nvidia drivers.

Check out Zen Browser

Kagi and Zen works for me

How is fractional scaling on Mint? On Ubuntu 24.04 it’s really crap (slow, blurry, flickering cursor, weird artifacts etc)

Started using Zen browser recently and it’s not bad! Basically Firefox but more stylish and more privacy. It syncs with my Mozilla/Firefox account so on mobile I just use Firefox.

And install python and install those dependencies before you can even run the thing

Thanks for all the suggestions! I switched to qbittorrent and it works nicely for now. The web ui is fine for the little I use it so all good! I’ll report if something starts failing again which would indicate another issue with me setup.

Seems to work very nicely and it’s much more responsive than transmission. Great, thanks!

I’m not set on transmission, I tried qbittorrent just now and it seems to work for me. But thanks! I anyway use a separate container and network for vpn.

I’ll give it a go! Is there a GUI for it? I like to sometimes check the progress live and transmission provides that out of the box.

Thanks for the explanation

Surely the Tokyo tower is a specific product then? 🗼It costs money to visit, aren’t the other towers jealous?

Yeah their security track record as of late is pretty bad…

Oh I didn’t catch that my bad. I hope they get a work computer where this kind of stuff doesn’t interfere with private life!

Sounds easier to switch to another browser at that point

Rust or bust
