I’m trying to convert a blog into an EPUB and keep running into issues with existing tools.

I’ve been switching from Vim to Helix recently. I did the built-in tutor, and whenever I need to configure something, I look it up in the docs. The problem is, I only find what I already know to look for. Without reading the documentation more broadly, I don’t really know what I can configure in the first place.

I’d like to be able to navigate text in a pager with Vim-style modal editing (moving with hjkl and yank/paste with y/p). Is there a way to enable this in the default pager, or is there an alternative pager that supports this kind of modal behavior?

I want to improve my touch typing skills on Linux. I’m curious:

I’m looking for a way to generate a single Markdown (.md) file that includes all the file names, function definitions, and docstrings from my Python files. Ideally, this should traverse a directory recursively while respecting the .gitignore rules.

Use ln -sf to update a symlink after each cron run:

Does the NewPipe YouTube client expose RSS feeds for my subscribed feed, individual channels or playlists? If so, where can I find the RSS URLs (or how do I generate it) for a given YouTube channel or playlist?

I have a list of communities, each with total votes, upvote percentage, and the community name. I want to sort the list by ‘engagement,’ which would be some combination of total votes and upvote percentage. What is the best way to do this? What would be the best measure of ‘engagement’ with each community given this data?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for federated Q&A forums specifically focused on Linux and software-related issues. I’m not referring to platforms like NodeBB, Discourse, Lemmy, Kbin, PieFed, etc. I’m asking for specific instances that focus on Q&A about Linux and other software related issues. I know of some popular non-federated platforms like Stack Exchange, AskUbuntu, Arch Linux Forum, etc. But I’m particularly interested in federated sites.

If those became popular it would be a privacy nightmare, specially if the company share all gathered data with the government and other companies.

I've often heard that China is authoritarian, particularly due to events like the suppression of student protests in Hong Kong. However, I'm curious about more recent examples. Conversely, I've been hearing about the UK's Online Safety Act being used to target Wikipedia editors and silence protests, which raises questions about authoritarian tendencies there as well. What specific examples do you have that demonstrate whether these countries are authoritarian or not?

For example, I know that sites like duck.ai let you use LLMs for free, but they limit input to 16,000 characters, so you can't actually leverage models like Llama 4 Scout, which supposedly has a 10 million token context window. Are there any platforms or tools (preferably without a paywall or input cap) where I could use models with context windows in the millions, as advertised? Or are all the free tools similarly restricted by much smaller limits?
