> Launch ranger using a keybinding from my shell (`bind` or `~/.inputrc` for bash, `bindkey` for zsh), which when combined with the previous technique allows me to very quickly switch folders (also combined with bookmarks) and get my bearings

> `:filter` to filter the items in the current folder (supports regex and has a live preview which updates as you type, can get laggy in large folders)

> `:flat` to flatten directory structures (-1 for infinite depth)

> `m<key>` to bookmark something, which you can jump to with `'<key>` (apostrophe)

> `om` to sort by last modification time, `os` to sort by size

> `dc` to recursively find the size of a directory (can be slow)

> `C-n` to create new tabs and `gt`/`gT` to switch back and forth between tabs which can be useful for copying/moving files

For my backups, I use rclone with Backblaze B2 and Google Cloud Storage (Nearline) using Crypt (with the same password and password2 for both B2 and GCS). This gives me the benefit of file level encryption, with filename encryption too. In my case, I'd rather not use encrypted archives in case a bit got flipped and rendered my archive useless.

I have a systemd timer to run (incremental) backups every 3 hours, and I plan on setting up a mechanism to automatically verify all of my data that has been uploaded.

I definitely agree the articles related to bootloaders can be very hard to read

If you want to use GRUB and UEFI, my recommendation is follow the headings up until the end of Installation

Then you just need to generate the config

The partition you're referring to is explained here

This seems to be the exact same as this Chrome extension: https://dragdis.com/ I might be wrong, but there don't seem to be any real differences or improvements compared to Dragdis.

I think this would result in a worse off situation because by allowing users with X karma to remove comments and prevent other users from commenting, it is effectively censoring them.

There are more examples of apps just like this that came before (this is the only one that comes to mind at the moment), the only way I would be remotely interested is if they figured a way to solve the inherent problem of selecting all/some of your friends as crushes to see who had you as a crush, and then what happens when someone legitimately adds the person who was just checking everyone's crushes.

I always tell people to find a problem to solve and learn coding on the way, rather than thinking of learning to code as an end goal, to more so think of it as another tool to problem solve, which you can learn how to use on your journey to build something to solve the initial problem.

One of my parents was a programmer but over time had forgotten all they knew about it so they had no influence on me. I learned to program of my own accord due to an interest in computers since I was young.
