Issues Installing ProtonVPN Official App on Bazzite through Distrobox

I'm a linux newbie and would really appreciate some help here.

I'm on bazzite and want to install protonvpn. Ideally the official app, not flatpak, so I can use the apparantly newly added split-tunneling.
Previously i installed both protonvpn-cli and the gui version, "layered on top of rpm-ostree" as far as I understand it. And thats actually not desireable? I think i removed those.

Now i entered my distrobox, which is better for this(?), and followed these instructions: https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-fedora

These commands are the ones I used:
wget "https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$(cat /etc/fedora-release | cut -d' ' -f 3)-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm"

sudo dnf install ./protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm && sudo dnf check-update --refresh

sudo dnf install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

sudo dnf install libappindicator-gtk3 gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gnome-extensions-app

(the last one is supposed to install the system tray icon)

But protonvpn is nowhere to be found. (protonvpn --version doesnt show anything.)

Any suggestions or resources that might help me?

[[email protected]](https://lemm.ee/u/LWD) presents information relating to accusations of source obfuscation around rising search engine Kagi

Frustratingly, doing a search on that Changelog page for sources is mostly full of stuff not relevant to my search.

I did find a different post on Lemmy that talks about it, though. This post is incredibly thorough, and does an excellent job of undoing Kagi's attempt to memory-hole the information about which sources they use.

This makes it all the more frustrating that Vlad refuses to re-add them, instead asking to know why we would care. Here's a link to that conversation, which is on a platform controlled by Vlad, which appears to be resistant to archiving services that attempt to fetch those particular comments. Also for posterity:

There is really no proper information about search sources. We need to know what resources are used and at what rate.

Please make a more detailed and clear edit.

[@]slamor Is there any particular reason you are asking for this? More context will help us better understand the need.

[@]Vlad why not?

Searching through kagi.com for "Yandex" yields a lot of dead links. The one living link is the Changelog, which says they added Yandex to their image search, back in December 2024... But that's hardly a revelation. The changelog doesn't go back very far either, AFAIK

As for the other links: Google says these links used to contain it the word, but I don't know why. Maybe this one was for raised sites, maybe it was for lowered sites, which would at least give a little insight into whether users loved or hated the domain...

Another result seems to suggest Yandex Images served up a photo of Steve Jobs in a demo search, but that is no longer the case. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Running a Continuous NAS on Dual-Boot PC with Linux and Windows: Is It Possible?

I have a desktop PC with two SSDs—one with Windows installed and the other currently empty, which I plan to use for Linux as I migrate to it. Additionally, I have two 4TB HDDs I intend to configure for NAS storage.

Since I can't afford a dedicated NAS setup just yet, I’m considering dedicating a portion of the empty SSD to run a NAS solution like TrueNAS or Proxmox for self-hosting. Ideally, I'd like the NAS portion to operate continuously in the background, while allowing me to boot into either Linux or Windows as usual.

Is it possible to set up the NAS environment this way, so it’s always running and accessible, even as I switch between Linux and Windows on my main system?

Help with internet archive not providing a archive link

I'm trying to get a archived link for this website, which I want to archive for a bachelor thesis. But it's always giving me errors when clicking the timestamp on the calendar where it says it was archived. I'd really appreciate some help, I've been trying to troubleshoot for a few hours now. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Edit: ok, I went back to 2015 on the calendar and it worked from back then. Idk if the robot.txt is preventing more recent archive attempts. Here is a functioning link just to have this post completed as "answered" https://web.archive.org/web/20151002133313/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Seeking Advice: Efficiently Archiving Lemmy Comments and Posts on Android

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a more efficient way to save and archive Lemmy comments and posts on my Android phone.
Currently, when I come across a comment I want to keep for future reference, I manually copy the text and link, then paste it into a note in my Obsidian vault. If there's an image or other media in the original post, I save and include that as well.

However, this process feels a bit cumbersome. Ideally, I’d like a way to quickly save or share a comment or post URL and automatically archive the top 20 or so comment chains, along with the original post, including any images, videos, or articles.

Has anyone found a streamlined method for doing this? I often find that by the time I return to check the responses or review the content, the post or article has disappeared. Any tips or tools that could help simplify this process would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Finding recent post comparing lemmy clients on how they view markup etc

Recently, within the last month or two, here was a very thorough lemmy post, maybe from a community called fediverse? It compared lots of lemmy clients, one comparison, maybe the main comparison? Was how the clients displayed markup and then gave a rating to each client. I remember jerboa and voyager being one of the top performers. Can someone help me find this post? Or advise me on how to search for it better? I already looked st the mentioned community but didn't find anything.
I'd appreciate any help.
