  • Ah I see you are on mobile. What works for me on mobile is the following:

    1. Copy the link of the article you want to bypass the paywall for.
    2. Open a new incognito tab that doesn’t have any cookies whatsoever (I usually only have this single tab open in incognito)
    3. Load https://www.google.com in the incognito tab
    4. Paste the link of the article into the search bar from https://www.google.com (use the search bar of the site not the one from your browser, this is important) and press search.
    5. If you now click the corresponding article link from the resulting google results page, the article should load without any paywall.

    AFAIK this exploits the same mechanism that the bypass paywalls extension exploits. Websites want to make their articles accessible via google if you directly search for them, but want to have a paywall if you find the article via their website. This works for me for most major international news websites on Firefox for iOS






  • It’s a really good distro in my opinion. When I used it, many obscure package that you would have trouble finding in other’s distro’s repositories, were right there in the main package repository of void. I also really liked working with runit over systemd as writing your own services was really simple.

    If I hadn’t switched to NixOS I’d still be using void as my daily driver.







  • It sounds like you are relatively new to linux. In that case I would really recommend just using one partition for everything and be done with it. There should be an option for this in the Debian installer. It will make your life so much easier.

    For everything linux related, the Arch Linux Wiki is the most comprehensive resource. For btrfs it would be this page for example, but I fear that this won’t help you much, because you are so new to everything.

    If you really want to get to know the workings of a standard linux distribution and feel like you are in control of things, I can recommend trying to install Arch Linux. This is a good starting point for better understanding a linux system and getting to know the command line.
