Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Technology@lemmy.world•Indonesia bans search engine DuckDuckGo on gambling, pornography concernsEnglish10·10 months agoAs I stated in other reply
This is just some of BS public stunts, they are trying to hide and create misinformation to deceive people. The mastermind of the online gambling issue here, is one of their cronies. A businessman, this guy being protected by top military brass and former general including a new elected president.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Aotearoa / New Zealand@lemmy.nz•Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 26/6/2024English4·11 months agoIt’s been a month since I started journey with Linux Mint as my daily driver. I enjoy tinkering with things like PulseEffects (trying to create similar sound effects as in Windows). Also tried to customize Conky, but I think I need to learn Lua.
I also found out that my setup without a swap file / partition. I guess it because I use btrfs for the root partition, so the Mint installer replaced swap with some tmpfs folders. I only realized after I got stuck in OOM. 😂😂
not sure about apps, but dnscrypt-proxy has this option
I used this when I found out one of my coworkers was using my work laptop to play online games.
