  • What was the Worst car you've ever owned?

    Jump

  • The Volt is a PHEV, I think the Bolt is the pure EV. I was considering its Vauxhall badged version years ago as a choice for a company car.

  • What is a good Linux Tablet for University

    Jump

  • I have an older, second hand Thinkpad Yoga but it has served me really well with Fedora installed on it.

    I also have a PineTab 2 but that has been a little bit of a rough start and still doesn't feel that great as a day to day device just yet

    Honesyly I think I prefer the laptop form factor over tablet + smart cover. Even my old Android Asus Transformer I used almost exclusively in laptop mode to do anything productive.

  • The UK is dealing with an even worse hurricane!

    Jump

  • Can confirm that the mach 70+ winds are so strong that it strips the flesh from the bone.

  • What camera do you have and what is your favourite type of photographs to take?

    Jump

  • A Nikon D3200 I've had for year I like using for nice landscape pictures and portraits but I used to use it as just my 'everything' camera - a role now taken by my phone.

    Sony Cybershot DSC-W12. This was my first digital camera and used to go absolutely everywhere with me. These days it still gets used but purely as an underwater camera for scuba diving as I have an underwater case for it.

    Jump

  • I picked up one of those Mavicas in a car boot sale years ago, its remarkable how far things have come.

  • What happened on your worst birthday?

    Jump

  • My father died

  • Dune Shell: bash + lisp

    Jump

  • So you can keep Kitty, just swap the shell you have it start by default (probably not a good idea to swap to this system-wide)

  • Dune Shell: bash + lisp

    Jump

  • But Kitty is 'just' the emulator right? It doesn't have a shell by itself.

  • I made a local APT repository that automatically fetches DEBs and AppImages from anywhere

    Jump

  • Willing to give this a go. My go-to for getting non-repo debs automatically has been deb-get which works well but seems susceptible to issues when changes in the software it lists causes it to break and whilst the fix itself is usually made pretty quickly, it seems to go long periods of time between PR merges and releases (which includes adding new software). If this is a viable replacement for it then i'd love to start using it.

  • What inappropriate sounding names can you come up with ?

    Jump

  • I knew somebody who used the more British version in a game - Hugh Jarse

  • Best Email Client

    Jump

  • I've just moved to Thunderbird. I was never keen on the old design and found it rather clunky but the new UI I find much better.

    I was using Mailspring but it has recently just refused to work on my device and I never even got a response on the community forums so I've just given up on it.

  • Are there any magazines in the UK worth reading?

    Jump

  • Might fall foul of your 'not too heavy' politics requirement but I love my Private Eye subscription.

  • What are all the ethnic foods you've ever eaten?

    Jump

  • My favourite cuisines I've had which were not common ones you can just find on any high street here were mostly found during the height of covid when I was working quite a way from home but the hotel's restaurant was closed so I had to order delivery each night.

    • Nigerian: Ordered this a few times, peppersoup, moin moin, draw soup, eba amongst the things I had. Soon after a West African section opened in my local supermarket so I could at least get some of the main ingredients to cook some at home.
    • Ethiopian: Amazing, not tried cooking any yet, some ingredients seem hard to come by
    • Afghan: Had a bunch of times as there was a restaurant in my town
    • Sri Lankan: Love it, superficially similar to Indian food but I was surprised just how different it was and has become one of my favourites that I cook at home with regularity.

  • Ryanair boss calls for two-drink limit at airports to tackle disorder

    Jump

  • Mandatory breath tests at the gate with additional fees to pay for every 0.01% over a certain limit (but if you pay up front you can get as pissed as you like)

  • What is a new low key snack that you have tried and liked ?

    Jump

  • Just straight up scranning some homemade kimchi

  • IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux

    Jump

  • Pulsar is a fork of Atom under active development. We don't publish a flatpak (yet) but there is a community maintained flatpak for it.

    Otherwise if you want to look at something else I'd give Lite XL, Lapce or even Zed (it has now been open sourced and looks like it has a flatpak available) a look as interesting alternatives.

  • IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux

    Jump

  • Pulsar is the current maintained fork of that project, we forked it before it got shut down and are actively developing it,

  • IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux

    Jump

  • Yes and no. The original project is dead but we forked it and continue to maintain and improve it as Pulsar

  • A local database with a command line interface? (sqlite?)

    Jump

  • Joplin is a note taking app that stores its data in an sqlite database (easy to query but not a good idea to write to it) but there is also a command line version and both versions support access via a data API.
