  • A suggestion about randomly generated passwords, pick the dictionary files from Firefox for random languages (that you can write without special keyboards/configs, if I may add), put the words included all in a LibreOffice/Excel sheet and set 4 formulas to pick words from the list at random.

    From my experience, they’re far more randomic, as well as not uncommonly including special characters, solving part of the pestering for alleged password strength.







  • Also regarding Nvidia, I don’t have great experience with it, but Mint Cinnamon and Mint Xfce work rather well with the RTX board my laptop has, just having to add a control tool to change from the default Intel one.

    And dunno how it is nowadays, but there’s a third version of Mint, LMDE, that when I tested, was very problematic to get the Nvidia board to work. Though that was over a year ago so maybe they fixed it since.


  • Linux Mint is generally the best “it just works” case, focused on stability (to the detriment of speed of updates), ease of use and visually reminding of Windows.

    Also Mint comes with a few official visual* changes, but if I might suggest, go with Xfce, not the Cinnamon one. The Cinnamon version of Mint has too many animations that only add micro workflow delays, while Xfce doesn’t have all the fancy effects making it faster to use.

  • Welcome!

    Also though content theft is just as possible in the fediverse, I guess its issue is also a positive at this point in time - it’s possible someone setting a thief bot doesn’t see all contents being posted due to ActivityPub’s geometrical propagation. Meanwhile Reddit has all in one place for anyone to harvest.











  • For Misskey-powered instances, there’s also Nijimiss.moe from the bigger ones I know about. It appears to either house or federate a lot of Japanese users too, from what I could observe. And dunno your Mbin instance, but on mine, I can follow Misskey.io and Nijimiss.moe users just fine, just taking a little while to populate the /all page (but surely happening since Japanese folks seem to interact between one another a lot), and at worse on federation to Mbin with some formatting issues for posts since Misskey feels a bit like its own thing.

    But alas, on the flagship (?) instance, I know a guy that was able to create an account when he/she lived for a while in Japan, and when the person went to another country, access to the site remained.
