Do not use anydesk application

-

 I have recently installed anydesk on my Linux Mint Cinnamon Dell laptop.

Two bad things happened:

  1. It installs itself as an autostart application which starts immediately when a session starts. That's considered bad behavior. I don't need it to autostart just to connect to other computers every few months. I couldn't find inside the application itself how to disable it had to get into my Cinnamon settings startup apps and disable it.

Even worse than that:

        2. I started getting weird behavior of Cinnamon. It happened that a new gnome-session was starting in the background causing me to lose the Cinnamon session while working. After running "apt purge anydesk" all problems were solved. That's looks like a bug or some other disturbing behavior.

I recommend other software like teamviewer which does not include the malicious behavior above. I am not affiliated with any other remote desktop application in any way. 

Shitty software Anydesk.

Bypassing the error by "go get" "tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority"

-
When I was trying to download dependencies for my go project in an old Ubuntu machine I was getting this error all the time: "go: gopkg.in/alexcesaro/quotedprintable.v3@v3.0.0-20150716171945-2caba252f4dc: Get "https://proxy.golang.org/gopkg.in/alexcesaro/quotedprintable.v3/@v/v3.0.0-20150716171945-2caba252f4dc.mod": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority" Which the main part of it was go get failing to authenticate: " tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority " I tried many things but couldn't make it work until I found the way: export GOINSECURE="proxy.golang.go" This will tell go get to ignore certification validity. Then export GOPROXY=direct This will tell go get to by pass proxy Then git config --global http.sslverify false And only after those I could run again: go get And it worked

My Zed editor config setting json file

I am using Zed editor, mostly for Go and web development. It is fast, yet not mature enough though I am still using it. Here is my settings.json file for configuration: // Zed settings // // For information on how to configure Zed, see the Zed // documentation: https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed // // To see all of Zed's default settings without changing your // custom settings, run `zed: open default settings` from the // command palette (cmd-shift-p / ctrl-shift-p) {   "ui_font_size": 16,   "buffer_font_size": 16,   "theme": {     "mode": "system",     "light": "One Black",     "dark": "One Dark"   },   "tab_size": 4,   "languages": {     "HTML": {       "prettier": {         "allowed": false       }     }   } }
