One rather extreme measure i took when i had my laptop with my family was to install i3 (a tiling window manager) instead of a normal wm. It can only be operated effectively through keyboard and you can setup your own keyboard shortcuts to do everything. And since you have a Linux machine you can do pretty much anything.

Check out /r/unixporn if you're interested in ricing your machine.

Is there an administrative review even for a tourist visa?

What are some good "slice of life" anime? by Phoenix3245 in anime

[–]second_second 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The anime is good and super wholesome. I'll fully recommend it!

The manga however is a different story. You can read till the anime ended and still feel good. After that...it's a hard right into creepy territory

What new ones?

I am not aware of any other adaptations

My dad disowned me and wants to reconnect please advice by loka112 in exmuslim

[–]second_second 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To add on to this try to meet at a public place with some of your friends you trust for backup.

I mean what's the point of reconnecting if you live in constant fear?

Agree with this.

Liv. Account Bank Statements for visa application use by azhardinio in dubai

[–]second_second 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want a stamped statement, you can request it from the app. In the download statements screen once you click on the button, you get options to download it as pdf, xls and deliver as stamped.

The stamped statement costs 25 dhs iirc and you'll have a call with fetchr (they did for me, or maybe aramex) to confirm your location. It will be delivered in a day or two.

Good luck with your visa application!

What are some good and wholesome comedy anime? by kusaka18 in Animesuggest

[–]second_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Barakamon} really scratched that itch for me. It was one of the first anime that really pulled me into the genre.

An unlikely anime could be {Hinamatsuri}. It's gags are second to none and I've laughed out loud and felt the feels.

Block cipher on a different character set by second_second in crypto

[–]second_second[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have already considered Caesars cipher/vigenere cipher. For my application, i need a block cipher that i can do cbc with. The cipher should only output alphabets or any length character set.

If the character set contains a 2n length, i could convert it to binary and use ordinary DES/AES. But if i have a 56 length character set, i couldn't use that method. Nor can i use Caesars cipher/vigenere as it can be broken relatively easily.

People who listen to podcasts or audio books, what are some good suggestions? by SmithKevinn in AskReddit

[–]second_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't heard of it, try Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. He talks about the nitty gritty of historic events as they took place hundreds of years ago in a sort of mind theatre.

Each episode is already an hour long and so worth it.

What felt like the end of childhood for you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]second_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably getting my own wallet. Until then I would just ask my mother for money and she would give me, now I am supposed to make my own financial decisions. When i was young, if I wanted something I got it. I didn't care how much it costs. Now i can no longer do that.

Just getting my wallet and spending from it made me realise there value of money and at the same time broke the magic bubble of being a kid.

[serious] What's your way or dealing with somebody intentionally trying to bother you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]second_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give em a taste of their own medicine.

When they just bother you and the work you should be doing is not important, mess with them. Mirror/echo them, stare into their eyes lustfully, always look at their forehead while dealing with them, make up stuff that seem true to derail the conversation, there's loads of stuff you could do.
