  • I never tried for YouTube. I mainly use for technical info, in which it gets me to the results. Google has an advantage for YouTube search since they own both platforma and share meta data. Stract is probably oldschool webcrawling. I did read somewhere that it takes time for it to build up its hit results. Did you try the content filters?







  • I think the wording of the last paragraph hilights that you have goals for his learning and goals for him finding joy in it.

    It’s easy for an enthusiastic parent to force their own “goals” on a child. If you want them to truly find joy in it, and have the same enthusiasm as you do, it is a better approach to just make everything available and foster open learning.

    You may already know all this, just your word choice came across a bit overbearing parent.

    Let them exlore but use you as a resource as needed. If you helicopter and constantly suggest they do what you have already learned then they don’t get any of those discovery moments and the joy isn’t realized.

    Does Mint have Apparmor installed?

    It is default on OpenSUSE. When you add a new application you start apparmor, run your application through its normal use, it “learns” how the system is used by the app, you then apply this as an enforce option or warn option. If the app deviates it gets blocked or warning generated.

    Also OpenSUSE has a hardening GUI that looks at your system and configs and lists out all the areas that pass, fail or need attention. It is a great visual tool, and gives explanations/suggestions. Maybe there is Mint package that emulates this. Yast Security Center (see image)

  • We have somewhat similar in Canada, not as dreadful as USA, but still what you would say anti-knowledge.

    I saw this in gradeschool, kids actually trying to learn and better themselves were bullies and labeled brown-noser losers.

    At University the Uni newspaper editors would dumb down articles purposely, since they thought the general reader may not understand the topic fully ( which defeats the purpose of knowledge articles ).

    And random times. Some guy talking about making his tent lines taut, and the rest laughing saying you mean tight. And him saying , no tension on a rope or cable is taut, tight is for fastening bolts, etc. Then everyone being “yeah whatever idiot”

    And overseas teenage relatives visiting , knowing 4-5 languages, and saying “Sorry, my English is not the best” and me trying to explain it is way better than half of the coworkers I have who only speak English. And then trying to explain to a teenager that these full grown adults have no desire to learn correct terms, grammar, spelling or punctuation.

    Trying to read my wife’s family’s facebook posts is like a course in stroke cryptography.



  • Yes, but No, but. It’s like an always on self discovering VPN. No need to connect and login if you lose connection or change from WiFi to cell to Ethernet, it just figures it out. And as other commentor said it is wireguard. So you can set it up yourself without a 3rd party, just takes a little bit of tech savvy skill and trasfering some public keys between each set of connections. Tailscale just makes it effortless.
