I've been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don't visit the site if I can help it, I don't login, I don't "like & subscribe", I don't see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don't see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

I'd go for Alpine Linux in such case.

You may want to check out numen, targeted towards power-users.

I'll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it's often hard to find good books in other languages. I'd also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

• (German)
  • "Die Welten der Skiir" trilogy (by Dirk van den Boom): https://bookwyrm.social/book/593373/s/die-welten-der-skiir-1 is really great . He also wrote another trilogy (Die Reise der Scythe) which is also quite nice.
  • "3517 Anno Domini: Wir waren Götter" by Raik Thorstad. Note that his is a primarily an M/M romance, but it has a nice dystopian scifi setting.
• (Spanish)
  • "En un lugar llamado tierra" - I read this long ago, don't remember much: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979935/s/en-un-lugar-llamado-tierra
  • La señal - https://bookwyrm.social/book/979918/s/la-senal
• (French) The works by Jules Verne should probably be mentioned here, despite being written well a century ago. "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers", as already mentioned in another comment, is a must-read classic.
  • "Helstrid" - I have this one on my e-reader for a while but haven't properly started it yet: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1289177/s/helstrid , so I can't say if it's any good.
• (Dutch) Long ago as a teen I once read "Coriolis, de stormplaneet" and liked it: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979934/s/coriolis-de-stormplaneet

I'm using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

• make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
• time tracking functions
• synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail

Thanks!

That was a great watch indeed! Never thought I would watch a minecraft video for over an hour...

Not really, though it wouldn't be hard to add, say via a cronjob.

As a kooikerhondje owner, I approve of this post :)

I think it's already pretty amazing we have at least three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy :) Small steps, hopefully more will join in time.

Do you ever shorten the dog breed name? To what? Kookies?

I most often say "kooikertje" (dutch, diminuitive) or "kooiker" (which technically is wrong because that would refer to the handler rather than the dog, but it'll have to do :)

Adorable :) Enjoy the puppy phase! She'll grow up quickly!
