I don't have an extention on FF but whenever I copy a link there's an option to also copy clean link. I'm not home, but I believe this is associated with my search engine being SearXNG.

Until 2024 of course....

Heck ya to Fedora, glad to see it recommended for a first time user. It's not much more difficult than Mint, but you can also get into the weeds instead of having to find a new distro after Mint. Mint basically has permanent training wheels, while with Fedora you can pop em off whenever it's convient.

Edit: Fedora is also a more up to date Alpine and it's not directly controlled by Red Hat.

I've used Bitwarden for ages and it fits your needs very well. Sharing the login info will allow the rest of your family to access the passwords and TOTPs too. Bitwarden does charge for TOTP use, but Aegis is amazing to use along with Bitwarden. You could setup Aegis on your device and then, if you wanted someone else to have access, you'd just export the data so they could import it into their Aegis app.

VeraCrypt is the only company I use when it comes to encrypting external drives. Depending on what distro you use, you'll just have to select the proper file format. Aside from that, maybe encrypt 90% of the drive so there's some space for a few things which you can access without mounting the drive. When you go through the setup in VeraCrypt, it directly asks if the drive will be used with one or different systems, so they got you covered there. You can also find many video walk throughs online to follow along with as well.

Okular is amazing, this paired with Libre Office for PDF creation is how I do PDF production and editing. Okular has somewhat limited editing, so when converting scans/photos into a PDF I use KolourPaint for more detailed editing. It allows me to remove, add, or edit anything in a scan/photo before it's converted into a PDF by Libre Office.

Not too sure how I feel about Bing and Apple Maps or OneDrive and Dropbox being referred to as alts in a privacy forum...But if ProtonMail is the GMail replacement, using ProtonDrive is an easy solution I'd say

Proton is the move, in combo with board.net for GoogleDocs and OpenStreetMaps for GMaps, you've degoogled more than most. Start using GrapheneOS instead of Android and you'll damn near remove the big G from your day to day!

True sales is just filling a need, sometimes the customer knows they need it but others are unaware of it. Good sales reps will not sell something unless it makes sense for everyone involved.

I got a sales job offer on the spot by first highlighting the limited use of a single pen and without extra's on hand its negative business impacts. Then stated I had tons of pens available in my car and positioned selling them at least 100, but recommended they acquire 1000+ as this prevents potential issues plus gets them a better deal. Pretty solid approach in my experience.

Lipids are one of the four macromolecules found in life. Moderation of lipids is the key part here. LDL (bad cholesterol) is needed for digestion, cell signaling, and immune cells require it for certain functions. It's the goldilocks principle, too much or too little is an issue.

I had to look it up, but reducing milk by 2% fat increases the calcium ~6mg/cup. A little calcium goes a long way for human cell functions, so it's a decent increase for sure.

Yep, for sures my favorite up and coming sneeder right now! lol
