I have used it before and yeah, it does work well as long as you use their OVPN/Wireguard configuration instead of theit client. They’re also very cheap during the sale.

Unfortunately, you will have to do a lot of tweaking a lot to get it to usable level. You won’t have any start menus, taskbars, GUI-based settings, or any clickable buttons outside of the program you are running right off the bat. These are intended to be filled in with programs of your own choice, but it won’t be shipped with Hyprland.

Or do I have to install extra extensions or have to muck around in the config to have a proper desktop?

Yes, that is the case. It’s what makes it attractive for those who want maximum customisability, even if it takes a long time to get there.

New would genereally mean less popular, yeah, but Hyprland is past that level of new. Frankly, I haven’t compared Hyprland to light DEs like LXQt. I don’t really see LXQt working as a replacement for Hyprland. With LXQt, when you boot up your computer, you get things like

• Taskbar
• Start menu
• Background with icons you can double click

With Hyprland alone, you get none of above. You need to install each component by yourself. Additionally, you get a very minimal configuration that is stored in a single file, and you are expected to make it however you want it to behave.

The keyboard aspect isn’t necessary, but you need to install start menus, taskbars, etc yourself, or use someone else’s config. Hyprland allows you to set keybinds for a lot of actions including running programs and commands, which is why your workflow ends up being more keyboard oriented.

Feel free to ask more. I don’t have much to do today.

It’s a tiling window manager that has been popular in ricing community. Window manager is a subcomponent of a desktop environment (eg. KDE has KWin), so I suppose you can say it is lighter, but it’s different from desktop environments, which has window manager alongside many other components.

As the name suggests, all it does is manage windows. You can move them around, resize them, make one take up the whole screen, move them into different workspace, etc. What makes tiling window manager popular is that it’s minimal, making it easier to build your own desktop environment, and a perfect fit for keyboard-oriented workflow. I use Hyprland myself, and I can definitely work just fine without using a mouse.

As for why Hyprland is popular as opposed to other window managers, I think it’s because

1. It’s relatively new
2. It got cool animations
3. Bunch of well known people use it

One little bonus for using Vaultwarden is that you get access to premium features for free. But still, I put availability much higher when it comes to password management, so I would go with paid Bitwarden. That is what I did before moving to Keepass.

You can access your laptop remotely if you set up Tailscale and register your laptop with them. It’s a VPN, so it’s like having your laptop and other registered devices connected to a local Wi-Fi all the time.

Shame that they don’t enforce adding that button.

No, not a mix of both. Either exclusively wins only, or losses only. Only way to tell these two apart is to see if this information is being celebrated or not…

연패

Can mean “to lose multiple times in a row” (連敗) or “to win multiple times in a row” (連霸).

I dump my encrypted data to someone who probably practices 3-2-1 rule (which is Backblaze for me). I mean, these guys back up data for a living.

Not even close. Too many things to learn, too many things you can get good at, not enough time to do them all.

• Renewal is cheap, even if the domain is short
• No particular requirements for registering
• Automatic WHOIS lookup is disabled
• Easy domain hacks
• Decent reputation, ranks low in mail spam rate

Same here. I spent last month transitioning all my servers to NixOS and it feels so comfy! I do a small test on my desktop when I do something that might break stuff first, and then add it to server’s config later.

--target-host and --use-remote-sudo makes it even better too.

If you’re considering (something) + Syncthing, try Orgmode. It looks like Markdown but has a lot of features for note management and navigation.

They are always well versed in colour theory, or at least it feels like that. Really jealous that they can get any colour working, but I can’t even with the help of those online palette generators.

Not sure about other bugs but definitely for network-related bugs. Knowing how to tell if it’s happening on my side or not is also a plus.

The hardest part would be how to trigger the kill-switch periodically without showing it to your adversary whilst keeping it easy. Having your device queried directly would be a dead giveaway. My idea without involving people would be as follows:

1. Set up a program that syncs files to a remote third-party cloud
2. Sync it to a directory that frequently changes when you use your device (your docs, for example)
3. Have a server that queries the third-party drive for that synchronised directory
4. If there are no changes, trigget the alarm

But since this plan relies on the secrecy, it’s kind of ruined now. That, and I think your threat model is a bit too extreme.

A dead man’s switch doesn’t quite protect you from garden hose cryptanalysis though. Nothing stops them from asking you to tell them if he got a dead man’s switch.
