I knew of Grayjay but did not know it was open source now. A lot of the app is written in Kotlin which is promising for cross platform

Cross platform

None of the are available for both mobile and desktop

It can be cross platform. On mobile and desktop

True. I did make a feature request to have the Newpipe Extractor in the app

This is the extension I am using.

Why could a build take 5 minutes? Is it due to the size of your project or the language the bundler is written in (JavaScript being a slower option over Rust)?

Changing Type=oneshot and adding RemainAfterExit=yes underneath does not allow me to boot into my system. I get this as the last terminal message

[ OK ] Reached target Cloud-init target.

No biggie to fix since I did this in a Virtual machine and could restore to an older snapshot.

I do use dropbear-initramfs. However the issue if I power off or the power goes out while I am unlocking the computer, I will be unable to reboot the computer using WOL. Is there something like dropbear-initramfs but instead of it being a SSH server for the LUKS lockscreen, it is a WOL enabler?

Discord is the worst. Requires a phone number, does not allow email aliases and logs your chats.

Matrix and SimpleX is way better

I may not have a domain name, and therefore no HTTPS, just HTTP only and can only connect by knowing the IP address and port number.

I may at times only have access to HTTP only (No HTTPS) which is one of the reasons why I want another form of encryption.

Encryption with most VPNs are more secure than HTTPS. Yes, the connection between the VPN server and the web server is not encrypted with the VPN and only HTTPS. However the encryption between the VPN and personal device is superior, not because it is relayed. My understanding is that HTTPS is “secure” for basic use, just like Windows 11 is secure. But not secure from five eye agencies unlike VPNs and other like systems like Tor and I2P.

My goal is to have a user connect to a web server and have it not possible for the web server to know what is going on, nor can anyone snooping the packets in transit know what is going on. Not know the HTML structure, form field data, etc.

Mega is a good example of what I want to learn to create. Not just to transfer files, but for what text is displayed on the page and the form field values and have it so that the server admins cannot decrypt and is encrypted this data in transit.

I did find a TUI text editor that I like that is better than nano.

Isnt X being replaced with wayland? I may do that in the future once wayland is more adopted.

However I would like to achieve this on headless servers with no GUI at all.

I prefer using Rustdesk if I have to remote into a machine and see the machines GUI.

If you are doing this as root, I have to question what it is you’re up to. The only time you should be editing files as root is config files, and then vim or nano should meet your needs.

Yes I only want to use root to edit config files. However I hate using nano and vim since they are TUI. I would like to use a GUI when editing config files.

Do you mean sftp?

I just played around with it. My file manager is Nemo (I am using Linux Mint) which allows you to connect to another computer using sftp and being able to browser the files and directories on that machine and be able to open text files.

Not the way I would prefer to do it, but a workable solution.

However I would also like to edit files on the machine with sudo privelages. I cannot connect to the machine as a normal user and right click in Nemo and open the file manager as root, as it will just open the sftp file manager as root on my device, not the remote device.

I did find this as a solution but it makes my remote machine unsecure by connecting to the remote machine as the root user by enabling the root user on the remote machine. However rather use sudo than enable the root user.

I am considering vscode but it is overkill and too bulky for what I am looking for. Just want a simple text editor like notepadqq

Thank you.
