Will it allow me to use any PC (including the ones in college library) turn into a mining machine? Like Tails, where I don’t have to install the OS. Or will I have to install it on a storage?

I use CMF Watch Pro, with Gadgetbridge.

That’s not corn starch.

I used to be a Proton user (paid) for over a year, but I left them due to their lack of support/development of Linux programs.

I didn’t go for Tuta as I could not use Thunderbird or any client of my choice, felt even more of a vendor lock-in than Proton.

Then, I shifted to mailbox.org and I manage my own PGP keys.

Your choice depends upon what exactly you need.

… a ten years old PC is…

… that’s something from 2015, …

Oh my! 2015 was 10 years ago?

This is my setup.

Oh, I just use this app called ANeko. Here’s the f-droid link.

It makes a cat run on my screen all day. It was there when I took this screenshot.

I was literally picking my nose when I saw this! 😭

This may not be what you want but I use Feishin client on my desktop, and it has button to play random songs. I just click it, select a range of release year and then select the number of songs I want. It automatically creates a temporary playlist. I think it also has a genre selection, so this might help you.

Can’t do it with random apps, but most FOSS apps, like Molly (fork of Signal), Element (matrix protocol), Tusky (for Mastodon), etc. use this.

I think using it for discord can be possible, but you would have to set up your own notification server. Like for Signal chats, there has to be another server between my notification server and Signal’s server (MollySocket), which listens to the notifications and sends it to my Ntfy. You will have to set something up that is always online waiting for new messages, and when new message arrives, it pings your Ntfy, and Ntfy pings your phone.

Ntfy exists. I use it for 3-4 apps.

What is the difference between an application and a program?

I have a cheap controller that has 2 modes, xinput and dinput, which automatically gets selected. If I plug it into a Windows PC it gets detected as X input and the controller shows a blue light and everything works including the rumble motors and pressure sensitive triggers. If I connect it to a Linux PC or any Android device via an OTG or if I connect that dongle directly into my Android TV, the controller shows a purple light and it gets detected as D input.

However, there is a small workaround that works for me is that when I connect that dongle into my PC when it is turned off and then I turn it on while the dongle is already connected. The controller shows a blue light and everything works normally. It is not detected as a D input device, it is detected as an X input device and everywhere, including steam, it is detected as an Xbox 360 controller.

This workaround, I did not know before but it is available or written on arch wiki. Here is the link. There is another way to always connect that device as an xinput device rather than relying on turning the PC on or off. It requires sudo permissions but I never got it to work properly, I always have to rely on rebooting the PC.

Somehow, this reminded me of the Kitchen Gun video by BBC.

Mullvad. It’s cheaper than Proton. But Proton has more servers. Like Proton even provies Indian IPs, but the servers are hosted in Singapore, which may be something people need, as Mullvad do not have any servers with Indian IPs.

You can also try IVPN, it is almost same like Mullvad, no email for account, pay using Monero etc, but you can get a one week subscription for $2.
