I have been trying to find a job for the past 2 years and I have not been able to go further than a round two interview of four. I have applied to multiple jon openings through LinkedIn, Indeed, SimplyHired, and other smaller platforms that I can't remember because I've been through so many. I have tried directly contacting companies asking if they are interested in freelance work or even an opportunity to have an informative interview and nothing. I have tried temp agencies and it's either truly crappy pay work or they are just not interested in me. I have updated my resume numerous times, I have gone to job fairs and talk with companies and nothing. I have tried to reach out to what little network that I have and they have really not been helpful. Hell, I've even tried applying to Walmart and I still got no response and it's been like 2 months. I just don't know what to do anymore. If anyone can kindly give me some advice, that would be greatly apperciated.

Would an alternative to Bitlocker be to use VeraCrypt? Or is there another encryption software to use that I'm not aware of?

With a lot of talk from governments around the world trying to either ban or restrict VPNs, I'm curious to know what are our options if they follow through? I know we can use the Tor network, but is there other options? I assume we could self-host our VPN since I don't think it would be affected by a possible ban. Is there a less tech-savvy option I'm not aware of? I'm just trying to understand all of my options just in case a ban does happen.

I'll take a look at the browser extensions. Thank you!

I used to use archive.today to archive news stories. However, between recently experiencing issues accessing the site and now that FBI trying to shut it down, I need to find a new way to archive.

I came across ArchiveBox, but it seems like you have to self-host and I don't have the tech skills yet to self-host an application. I also know the Internet Archive has the WayBack Machine, but never have good luck using the site.

I am hoping that I can find a site that is similar to archive.today and is not on the FBI's watchlist.

Yes, I want to stay away from the AI integration so I will take a look at VSCodium and Geany. Thank you.

Thank you for breaking it down my operating system. I forgot to to mention which OS I'm looking for (Windows and Linux). I'll take a look at the options your provided. Thank you!

[-] starlight@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

I like that Geany is lightweight, so I'll more into it. Thank you!

I'm looking for a privacy-focused code editor that can handle HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I am just learning how to code, so I need something that works for beginners as well as respecting my privacy. I have looked around, but I don't know which one is the best option.

I'll take a look at the Edge app. Thank you.

Interesting. I have just enough, but this information is helpful for the future. Thank you!

I am trying to buy Monero for the first time, but I don't know which way to the best and easiest and hoping to get some guidance. I have Cake Wallet and I can purchase Monero through there, but I can't tell if they have the best rates. I also came across Haveno, which is a decentralized Monero exchange, but I don't know if that something I should use. There is also Trocador. Of all of these options, which one would be the best for begineer? Note: I am just trying to purchase a small amount of Monero ($10-20), nothing big.

I'll take a look at these projects. Thank you!

Does anyone know if these is an open source and privacy-focused alternative to xTiles? A friend of mine showed me this site where it's like Notion, but more visual and easier to use. It's looks really cool, but I wanted to know if there was something similar that's private and open source.

[-] starlight@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

It would mainly to set up recurrent or monthly payments. But if there is no way, then I'll just add my Monero address and they will have to manually donate monthly themselves if they wish.

I was wondering if there are platforms similar to Patreon or Ko-fi but they allow you to donate to creators in Monero or at least other cryptocurrencies? I want to rely less on Paypal and Stripe, especially when we have to play by their rules and recently, they have been ridiculous. I also want to give people a more private option if they wish to provide me monthly support. I know I can't cut those two payment processors out altogether because almost everyone uses them, but I am hoping I can find something similar so cut the reliance on them.

That's what I usually do when I'm forced to use Zoom. Will definitely stick with using the web client.

I have to use Zoom for a online class and I was wondering how I can make my Zoom experience more private? Is there a Zoom client that I can use like how there are privacy-focused Discord clients? What privacy tips would you recommend?

I was thinking about going back to school, but I am still pretty drained going through the first time. I know that many countries have a list of careers or skills that they are looking for and some of the skills I could qualify for, but then it goes back to finding a job and it's just really frustrating. However, that could be my best bet, so I'll look into it again.

I didn't know PGP had browser extensions. I'll take a look at mailvelope. Thank you.
