What I did at the beginning of learning Python, after learining the basics was just to think of a project that is interesting to me and start implementing it.

For example, you want to create a web login system. You'll have to read up on web frameworks, databases, hashing.

You want to create a simple game, you'll have to familiarize yourself with pyglet, maybe multiprocessing, maybe opengl.

You just want to crunch some numbers? You'll quickly find the need for numpy and numba so that you don't have to watch the paint dry.

I don't know if that's the correct way, but go ahead, experiment and learn along the way. Maybe you'll find out you enjoy it better that following steps of a tutorial.

Not only that. If all you need to deal with are still images Inkscape, Krita and to some extent GIMP are quite enough for my students, and I teach at an art university.

The community has been very calm and respectful so I've never really had to think about the moderation. I can't remember the last time I've seen a deleted comment for example, and I've certainly never seen a hateful post or comment.

Other than that, the admin, db0 is quite left-leaning (or at least anti-capitalist), but so am I, so it never really bothered me.

To be completely honest, this is the only instance that I have an account in, so I can't really compare it to the others, but it just felt like home to me.

When the reddit went bad I started looking for anti-corporate communities that would migrate.

r/cyberpunk was the first place I checked, but there was no discussion about migrating at all there. r/selfhosted was another obvious idea but people there seemed very reluctant as well.

The only sub that pointed to some clear migration path was r/piracy. I really appreciate the integrity of dbzer0 in this situation.

I'm using Linux and never really bothered scanning for viruses. Is ClamAV a good start?

Does the resolution really matter? I may be wrong, but I think nobody runs a Tor node, giving away their bandwidth for free and risking jail time, just so that some random dude in Arkansas can watch some porn.

I'm not sure if streaming 1080p video over Tor would be very appreciated by the rest of the network. Or that it would be a very pleasant experience.

Don't know if you're into that kind of minimal, but lately I've been using epy and it is just amazing.

Can't see anyone mentioning this, but have you tried the johncena releases on 1337x?

All of them are neatly compressed, don't need Steam and I haven't seen a single one that doesn't work out of the box on Manjaro.

Is there anything a person can do about it, other than using Firefox and degoogling?

Oh, I see. To be honest, I never really cared about HDR, but as far as I know it's not supported on Linux at all.

I was thinking of running jellyfin, and have been experimenting with it for the last few days.

What do you mean by streaming services not supporting PCs? I've had both HBO Max and Prime running perfectly on Linux.
