Nice.

Nice comparison. Thanks for sharing! Any reason NordVPN was excluded?

This is great, thank you! I’m on a similar journey and maps is my biggest pain point right now. I use the reviews frequently and they just don’t exist elsewhere.

Super rad

Jurassic Park, I was 8. Saw it at the cinema and was hiding behind the seats. It still hits a bit hard.

Guitar for 25 years with some bass and drums in there too, play in one band atm but always on the lookout for new stuff. I should play more.

It’s a shame the music communities here aren’t as vibrant as reddit but far less people over here. I live in hope that it’ll get busier!

I have a similar setup, great choice, will never go back!

+10000 for notepad++, its he swiss army knife of file editing tools. Adding:

• Plugins: CSV being read as a small dB table you can query is a game changer. Or have a JSON plugin that auto formats and queries as well as opens the JSON in a clickable nested window.

• Pinned tabs: pin important tabs, I use one as a todo list.

• Search for text within files in a folder: need to find a specific bit of text in one of dozens/hundreds/thousands/millions of files somewhere? Its lightning fast and works a treat

• Search and replace with regex: amazing feature, use regex patterns to find complex parts of your files and replace them with something else Bulk operations: remove newline, replace line breaks etc

• Multi format support: see line breaks from different OSs like Unix and windows and amend them Portable install: you dont have to install it, you can use a portable version

So much more, get it and you won’t look back.

I’m not your friend, guy!

Pro tips, ty! I was hoping for something mobile friendly but this will definitely help!

Maybe safe is the wrong word in my post. I mean keeping the data safe from meta in the respect that I don’t want them to have it. Their record in data privacy is not so great so I’m keen to keep my data away from Meta if I can.

+1 for reaper. Its free to “demo” forever with no limitations and is much closer to a traditional DAW than audacity. So many plugins and scripts to customise too, such a great tool I can never recommend it enough to anyone wanting to do anything from simple audio edits/conversions to full fat tracking and mixing sessions.

Nice.

Also adding my English condolences, can’t agree with you strongly enough. UK is fucked, need to emigrate

Game changer!

Factorio cranking up towards 800 hours with the new expansion out. I dread to think how many hours got sunk into WoW over the years…

A drawer full of emergency makeshift weapons? Yes. Also a junk drawer? Yes, more than one.

+1 for notesnook, self hosting coming soon

Like others have said it depends on the field you want to code for and language choice. The field might inform your language choice.

I’d highly recommend python as your first if you’re just looking to get stuck in. It’ll teach good fundamentals, it doesn’t have a steep learning curve and it has a very wide set of applications plus loads of community support. This website is what I recommend to anyone wanting to learn python: https://futurecoder.io/

Good luck!
