It does work both ways, as the theory states that competent individuals were more humble and underestimated their skills.

If I'm correct, that would mean that technically, I could authenticate to an SSH server without supplying my name if I use a private key?
Yes.
The public key contains a user name/email address string, I'm aware, is the same information also encoded into the private key as well? If yes, I don't see the need to hand that info to an SSH call. If no, how does the SSH server know which public key it's supposed to use to challenge my private key ownership?
Most of this can be found reading through different Git docs, whether from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Gitea, etc. When using Git you can use different keys for different repos/forges and each has a defined pair, similar to accessing different SSH servers that require specific key pairs. I do understand your questions, but I lack the finesse to explain it since I really only use SSH and Git for my blog and not for anything too complicated.
There are some tips here that might help

Important to note that restarting or running sudo fc-cache -fv is key when doing things with fonts.
An old friend of mine that I've lost touch with is Chinese. They lived in Europe for a number of years. When they couldn't get a new job their visa ran out and the went back home.
No problem getting a job. They had a place to live. Things were good.
But... When they left Europe they basically told their roommate, a student who was about 10 years their younger, that they were leaving and that's it. They abandoned the apartment. This left not only rent up to the student, but also the €300 fee of changing the name on the rental contract.
If a police investigation is launched against someone in China, you can be damned sure they will turn up something. If this influencer ever saw a doobie they will find out, and if they never did drugs they will find an acquaintance who did.
I say this because one day when my friend left work there was a car waiting. It was the father of her roommate. Turns out he was a "special" police officer. He told them to get in and gave her a folder. The folder had photos of them, their friends, even me. There were notes on the friends, SMS and social media exchanges. This included references to drugs. He took them to a bank, told them to take out the equivalent of €900 (he had their bank statements already) or their family would hear about this...and then he left them there on the street.
There are solutions that work. Like you, I would enjoy a simple app that allows for subscriptions and playlists without tracking or using an account. I mostly use RSS feeds (newsboat) and watch the videos through mpv.
And yt-fzf is great too. It uses invidious instances instead of YouTube links.
I don't feel like my system is bloated.
It probably isn't bloated.
I guess it's subjective, but when do you consider a system to be bloated?
If someone is testing out several different DEs or WMs and installing meta-packages, then I suppose I might say that things are bloated because they could end up having multiple apps to control the same preferences along with different libraries, etc., and then when they decide to update it takes ages. That would be bloated for me. I have tried the minimal stuff before. Like you said, hundreds of packages, not thousands. But, I didn't install any manpages. So when I decided I wanted those manpages the number of packages ballooned. Nothing was really bloated, just a number on neofetch going up.
Content mills...
Just go to the source. The dev is sharing more info and videos. Sure, it is on LinkedIn which is rubbish but at least it isn't 9to5Linux
Strawberry Music Player has smart and dynamic playlist generators. I cannot say how well they work.
The package manager for Alpine is...so fast. The community (IRC/Gitlab) is responsive and helpful.
Screenshot is a few days old, but nothing has changed on my desktop in months.
Just a boring LXQt w/Openbox installation on Alpine Linux. Only fun thing is that I did this without qt5ct or kvantum.

Meta launches Twitter rival Threads but faces delays in Europe over privacy concerns
(www.france24.com)
Yesterday while browsing the front page of that other site I came across a video of a TikTok user who finds people based on short videos.
Their TikTok page can be viewed here: https://proxitok.privacy.com.de/@the_josemonkey
(and they also have a webpage https://josemonkey.wordpress.com/)
I find it amazing, geeky, fascinating, and creepy that a single person with a computer — not a government organisation — is able to do this.
It all reminds me of that Wired article from 2009 about the man who tried to go off grid and was eventually found by internet sleuths.
TL;DR doxxing has never been easier, don't say or share anything on the web that you wouldn't want printed on the front page of a newspaper.

Unclassified FBI Document: Ability to legally access Secure Messaging App Content and Metadata (January 2021)
(beehaw.org)
An official FBI document dated January 2021, obtained by the American association "Property of People" through the Freedom of Information Act.
This document summarizes the possibilities for legal access to data from nine instant messaging services: iMessage, Line, Signal, Telegram, Threema, Viber, WeChat, WhatsApp and Wickr. For each software, different judicial methods are explored, such as subpoena, search warrant, active collection of communications metadata ("Pen Register") or connection data retention law ("18 USC§2703"). Here, in essence, is the information the FBI says it can retrieve:
-
Apple iMessage: basic subscriber data; in the case of an iPhone user, investigators may be able to get their hands on message content if the user uses iCloud to synchronize iMessage messages or to back up data on their phone.
-
Line: account data (image, username, e-mail address, phone number, Line ID, creation date, usage data, etc.); if the user has not activated end-to-end encryption, investigators can retrieve the texts of exchanges over a seven-day period, but not other data (audio, video, images, location).
-
Signal: date and time of account creation and date of last connection.
-
Telegram: IP address and phone number for investigations into confirmed terrorists, otherwise nothing.
-
Threema: cryptographic fingerprint of phone number and e-mail address, push service tokens if used, public key, account creation date, last connection date.
-
Viber: account data and IP address used to create the account; investigators can also access message history (date, time, source, destination).
-
WeChat: basic data such as name, phone number, e-mail and IP address, but only for non-Chinese users.
-
WhatsApp: the targeted person's basic data, address book and contacts who have the targeted person in their address book; it is possible to collect message metadata in real time ("Pen Register"); message content can be retrieved via iCloud backups.
-
Wickr: Date and time of account creation, types of terminal on which the application is installed, date of last connection, number of messages exchanged, external identifiers associated with the account (e-mail addresses, telephone numbers), avatar image, data linked to adding or deleting.
TL;DR Signal is the messaging system that provides the least information to investigators.
Hi,
It it possible that Plank doesn't work with Wayland, plain and simple.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/plank/+bug/1632841
The latest version dates back to 2019.
I think Dash to dock is used often.
For Guake the version in Bookworm is from 2022 and you may need to set an environmental variable or perhaps it isn't built with Wayland support on Debian.
You could hit up the Debian forums for a better answer.
