This post literally links to the leading one.

Hmm, how to react to that? “Go through his brain and look for loose thoughts.”? (Sounds like Legilimency from Harry Potter world)

I was never distro-hopping much. Switched from Debian only when I got a job with Red Hat, and then switched to openSUSE when I switched to SUSE. I have actually switched recently to my own semi-distro https://sr.ht/~mcepl/moldavite/ (basically MicroOS with sway).

Eh? Both pandoc and rst2epub can generate eBooks. All those lightweight markup languages are especially awesome for converting into various output formats.

I think you have arguments about MicroOS (or Silberblue, which I know less about, and possibly Nix, which I know nothing about, and it seems to me it is not in the same group) wrong. Take a look at this https://youtu.be/lKYLF1tA4Ik.

They should keep it about something. The first film seemed like a great start to so many stories, but the second film was about none of those (and yes, I am still bitter, that nobody wrote a story of Modesty Barebone).

https://github.com/swaywm/sway/ still claims that sway is “i3-compatible Wayland compositor”.

Ehm, what would be a difference for you, if you install sway?

Not vim necessarily, but I would really suggest thinking about a plain text editor of your choice and some of those lightweight markup languages (Markdown itself, reStructuredText, ASCIIDoc … I prefer rST, but they are mostly the same). Exactly because it allows me to concentrate on the content and ignore formatting. Besides, formatting, do you write for print or as everybody else these days for HTML? Why do you need a large word processor which is build primarily for preparing documents for print? Every serious text editor has some kind of plugins with spellcheckers, grammar checkers, dictionaries, etc.

 

Is there any difference in cache files for Flatpaked Firefox and the normal one?

I have been using FanFicFare application for downloading Fanfiction stories as EPub from the main fanfiction websites. It works just fine for most of them, but there are now terrible problems with the biggest of them all, https://fanfiction.net, which is behind Cloudflare and generally inaccessible to scripts.

Therefore functionality has been added to script which with appropriate flags (-o use_browser_cache=true -o use_browser_cache_only=true) and when correctly configured it can “download” HTML pages from the Firefox (or Chrome) cache instead and stitch them together into EPub same as if the pages were downloaded from the Internet.

It all works perfectly fine with Firefox as packaged by major distributions (openSUSE in my case), but it doesn't work with Firefox installed from Flatpak. Is there any difference between the storage of cache in Flatpak Firefox? Is there some kind of access protection to its caches?
