You should try revanced.
Hi! I’m Alex, a.k.a. Ultra. I use NixOS btw. Gen Z, Romanian.
You should try revanced.
You could try https://piped.video or another piped instance
Wow, that’s terrible for security.
From how you’ve described modifying your distro, that’s literally NixOS. Your entire config is declared in a git repo, when you update the system it rebuilds it from that repo. But you’ll have to learn the nix language, and it’s not a easy-to-use, beginner-friendly distro.
Wouldn’t the password remain in the shell history? Or didn’t that exist back then?
OP, I think you gave theshatterstone54 an existential crisis…
You should probably try Linux Mint, or if you have an NVIDIA card, Pop!_OS
Like ploum wrote (“splitting the web” on https://ploum.net)
It’s time to switch to Linux!
Not 2fa code. The Lemmy apps have all of those on the sign up page, and so do alternative UIs

For distributing software (nixpkgs is a flake and many projects have flakes), replacing channels (again, nixpkgs is a flake) or managing configs (check out my repo)
They’re more reproducible, they make dependency management easier, the commands you use with them are easier to use and more readable, and it’s easier to have multiple packages/systems/home-manager profiles in a single git repo. They also make version management easier
I don’t understand why people say “this” instead of upvoting.
My config is in a single github repo for all of my machines and my user.
It’s really tightly integrated and just works with the nix package manager, which has a huge repo and builds packages reproducibly, so theoretically what would work on my machine would also work on yours. Also, with nix you can run software without installing it, you can have multiple versions of the same library, and there are way more benefits just from this package manager that I can’t list here.
You can iteratively test your config, apply it on a live system and roll it back. You can also use git to roll back to an older version while keeping the actual source files.
There’s no dependency hell / leftover packages after uninstalling something - what you declare in your config is what is installed, and if an app has unspecified dependencies it won’t build. I guess this would also be a part of #2
And there are probably other benefits I can’t remember.
I’m using NixOS, and I have a few tips:
steam-run
it.
