  • I just install my keys as needed to the machines and then configure aliases for quick connections. For file transfer with SFTP I’m using Filezilla because its queuing functionality and site management are nice.

    I think for what you are looking for, both puTTY and Remmina should be capable as well as the other options suggested here

    It is a quandary.

    I would not support the project monetarily because I would not want to fund the primary persons behind it.

    But Hyprland is FOSS is it not? Someone could fork the project to resolve the issue you are describing.

    If this does not resolve the issue in your opinion (as you seem to have concerns with the “roots” of the project), and if we go with that logic, we should be just as opposed to using the modern “Jerry” gas can as it was a Nazi invention originally.

    Both good and evil people invent things - whether the thing that is invented is itself reflective or could be considered supportive of the inventors ideals varies. Nazi’s are terrible and I don’t want to support them, but at the same time I think that it is good and useful to be able to safely and effectively transport gas if needed, and I’m not so certain that function supports Nazi ideals. If I purchased the gas can from a Nazi, then it would, but nothing is being purchased in the case of Hyprland as far as I am aware.

    I don’t know a tonne about Hyprland as a thing however, so my decision on whether or not to use it may also vary.

    In short, you can have massive, entirely valid criticisms of the evil deeds of a person, but that does not necessarily fault everything they invent or touch, even if we would like it to. This is the crux of the Composition/Division logical fallacy if I am not mistaken, which is where we make an assumption that what is true about part of something must be applied to the rest of it without exception.

    In this instance, the inventor may be evil but it does not automatically mean that their inventions are inherently evil.

    If there are criticisms of Hyprland, the software itself - then it is a different matter.





  • Vancouver is notoriously one of the, if not the - most expensive place/s to live in Canada. The cost of living there was insane even before the housing crisis. It can cost something like $3000 a month for something as small as a 350 Sq foot apartment, and the average monthly living cost for an individual there (not a family) is over $5000. Near vancouver, it’s not that great either.

    The city also has a pretty rough homelessness and opioid problem, so take that for what you will.

    If you find a job that pays like $120,000, then go for it, otherwise it’s not so good.

    If you want cheaper property/rental prices in Canada, I would probably recommend looking at listings in provinces such as Saskatchewan or Manitoba.




  • I’m currently yanking everything over a VPN connection from a provider that I trust and I’m not collecting anything as enormous as entire channels. With this considered along with the fact that this is outside the bounds of a user account (I don’t believe EULA can come into play as a result), I don’t think I could get in much trouble with them outside of having to change VPN endpoints occasionally if they decide to block out some IP (On one or two occasions I have gotten a message back from yt-dlp noting to sign in to prove I am not a bot).

    I appreciate the offer on the script, however I think I will build my own as it is not an urgent matter for me and I consider it a good exercise in practicing my skills with programming. I’ve been looking to build my own RSS reader for a while, and I think this is probably a good use case for this as well.

    Thanks!
