  • Thats fair. If you ever go back then at cli typing tracker3 will give a list of commands.

    Tracker3 status will give you what it is doing or if it is idle, and notes on files that are troublesome.

    tracker3 reset with cetain flags will purge and rebuild index.

    You can also set filetypes and folders to index, but that is probably eaaier in dconf-editor settings, under org/freedesktop/tracker/mine/files



  • Tracker should not be recrawling everything, unless you delete the index with a tracker3 reset

    Once it builds the initial index only new files or changed files should be recrawled for meta data.

    The only time I have seen Tracker use cpu was when it got hung up on a file that had special code in it that was messing with parsing the data and so it would fail and retry over and over.



  • When I was on reddit the ones spouting the most linux hate seemed to fall into two main categories.

    1. those that tried it like 15 years ago and still hold a grudge.

    2. dudes who heard people rave about linux but they themselves struggled with certain concepts when trying it out. And rather than realize they need to read instructions and learn new things, instead would rather blame linux for not working as expected.













  • I agree it might be better elsewhere. (Like how my preference is Protonmail being hosted by a neutral country based company) But so I don’t mislead, my encryption example was generic, not specific to linux kernel…however any novel encryption does have to be noted to NSA and other organizarions in the USA. Canada has something similar but it appeared less strigent, and adjustments have been made between the bordering countries. I personally diaagree that encryption should have government hand in it, it solves nothing. A foreign state actor wanting to send encrypted communications to overthrow another entity isn’t going to follow software laws anyway.

    If the company is in the USA they can restrict who you colloborate with. They also can control what you export as a oftware product under ITAR/EAR rules. It is why when some encryotion work had to be done the devs crossed the border into Canada to work on development, because under USA law encryption code is a controlled export product even if opensource
