I made a rough guide of my setup for someone wanting to download videos from their browser. Since Seal uses yt-dlp, it will work with Youtube as well.

Hope this can help you out

I was just confused and not sure wether it was or not. Thanks to the clarifications of you and others I now know.

Thanks for the helpful answer. I’ll have a look at that stand-up.

Something I forgot, if you are brave enough, replace the thermal paste with a good quality one. Recently I did it and since then I have seen a huge difference. Just make sure to disassemble everything so you can access the CPU and the radiator.

If you are technical enough you can use an Xposed module to prevent that. Like one that reduces the intake of energy while charging. Some ROMs also offer that built-in.

Try to see what your charger is. Maybe your phone is using “fast charging” which might make it charge faster but it will definitely get hotter. A charger that is compatible with your phone and without fast-charging capabilities might help your phone not be as hot.

Lastly, and this is less about the energy part and more about safety, make sure if you charge it unatended that it is away from anything flammable. While there is a very small change something like that would ever happen I wouldn’t take the risk.

I can definitely see that being a thing sadly.

So the post and comments refer to people who act in such a way mixed with the US politics because of how certain people make “jokes” about minorities that are oppressed and might be oppressed further in the worst case scenario, right?

I am quite confused. Can someone please explain why there seems to be hate towards those who like “dark humor”? I can understand that some try to hide behind the name when in reality they just want to bad-mouth minorities or their views, however I don’t see a problem with dark humor by itself.

I may be missing something since a lot of the comments and the post itself mentions US politics where there is a lot of tensions.

You did mention a “main drive”. I don’t know what’s taking all that space on your SSD but if you have a media library that takes some space you could move that to a connected HDD. While HDDs aren’t good as a boot drive it does the job well enough with most “standard” quality media. So can be said for documents and more obviously. You can then auto-mount your other drive to be inside your home directory for seemless access.

One thing that isn’t mentionned but I’ll just say this just in case. Always have external backups. I’ve scared myself way too many times thinking I had lost my main drive’s data just to find it the next day on one of my backup. Really a life saver if your setup has a problem where you find that one forum post from 12y ago with a “Nvm I fixed it” marked as [FIXED].

Other than that, thanks for sharing and with the solution at that.

Please do share. What better thing to do than to take a break from a broken install to read about someone’s own hardship with the endless quest that is maintaining a rolling-release distro.

Like someone else said, it’s unlikely. However it is possible but it would need to exploit your media player (VLC) and/or your OS. As long as your source is trustworthy you shouldn’t have to worry, that’s why the megathread is there.

One thing I forgot to mention. On the deep/dark web nothing is monitored the way the clearweb is, meaning even if you try to avoid some things, you might stumble upon disturbing things. Maybe not images, but walls of texts or something else. My biggest advice if you want to find fun and/or interesting sites would be to look into webrings that either mirror on the dark web from the clearnet or direclty using safe search engines. I can recommend Yesterweb to start with since they not only have a big webring but also a page dedicated to interesting sites liked by the community.

Ahmia is a great search engine. They have a policy that explicitely states that they do not list cp content and they actively remove them on a regular basis if they suddenly pop-up. There used to be some sites that had lists of great and interesting onions but sadly the way onions are shown, many false duplicates showed up and now it’s impossible to find the real original sites (mainly thinking about “the hidden wiki”). If you use Whonix, they have a startpage of their own for Tor browser which lists good and reputable search engines for the network. Hope that somewhat helps.
