Finally, ~/Templates support!!

The ‘d’ stands for drama.

And also dick.

Singular.

Yeah, that’s a pretty huge con honestly.

My sheer frustration with all this tiny to grievous papercuts with Tailscale years on got the best of me— Even the Android Magic DNS bug only got fixed last month. But hey, I’m still using it, instead of ZeroTier so that’s something :D

ZeroTier pros:

• Exit nodes don’t break if I lose wifi for a moment
• Works with custom DNS setups out of the box
• Allow-LAN actually works on Android, rather, is the default
• No member limits for free
• No need to disown devices and putting them into tags to be able to set SSH ACLs
• Works out of the box with other overlay networks and VPNs

ZeroTier cons:

• No freemium tunneling feature
• No convenient browser-based SSH that only admins can use for some reason
• Not nearly as sexy

Candles are punching above their weight these days, it seems

Makes sense! I should go check what my Zellijn configs are set to on the servers 🤔

^S works!! …As revealed by our kind palindromic friend on the other sibling comment! Why they don’t just list it on the statusbar we would never know!

:GASP: ^S does save! I have played myself for a fool all these years!!

Now I just have to unlearn ^X, Y, enter. . . :thisisfine:

Firefox desperately needs a way to customize keyboard shortcuts, especially to disable them. Shortkeys isn’t really enough.

After all that, no ^S to save 🥲

I did in fact use to add large padding to the menus back when it was possible, so I couse use my drawing tablet to navigate bookmarks! But alas…

I think it’s a bug specific to how Firefox handles menus though. Case in point, it only does this some of the times, usually after two levels. Just a single level, and it stays open, except when the second level is too wide to fit to the space available to the right—

As I was typing this I realized that is it. It doesn’t work if the new level cannot open to the right of the menu. Then, moving the mouse away slightly closes it. But now that I’ve moved the bookmark menu button to the left, it stays open for four or five levels deep!

Gotta get used to the new location, but good enough!!

(I know, I need to sort out my mess of a bookmarks collection. It’s almost two decade old, cut me some slack!)

Now, can we please fix the bookmarks drop-down next? Every time I try to open a nested folder and it just closes because I was too slow and imprecise in moving my mouse I die a little inside 🥲

As a Huion user 🥳

…now to wait until the Steam Deck moves to 6.10 💀

I miss some parts of Kbin, but I’m very glad to have a perfectly functional save feature in Photon…

(And that the threads actually load.)

This thing really does have everything 🥲

Thank you very much for the Linux coverage for it. Does the stylus still work in external display mode? That would be the dream…

I would like to know this as well.

So far, it seems it’s a bit easier to do with Podman / “standard OCI containers” because they’re rootless and get stored in my home directory. But the solution I keep seeing is to move the directory and then symlink or mount bind the folder. I do the latter so that podman continues to work when that external drive isn’t connected.

This does actually work, but I really don’t like it. Why isn’t there a way to store a container entirely in a specific location and then run straight from that location?

The alternative is to provide Podman a custom storage.conf for a specific location. But that too is a “permanent” change. I would love to know a cleaner solution to portable containers!

I thought maybe now that the OLED is out the OG would be cheaper, but nope.

If you have friends or family in the US or UK though, perfect favor to call in :)

And the amount of support requests I used to get when my family was on Windows (and it was mostly but not all cracked copies, before Microsoft stopped doing anything about it) was much higher too.

Obscure hardware issues that require savviness and extensive googling is always the biggest concern with Linux, but even there, the gap is much smaller these days.

Meanwhile, the retirees who’ve used Windows all their working life, never complained even once. I guess if they were so busy with work even a day’s confusion with how the “Windows” layout for KDE Plasma differs from the actual one they were used to might be frustrating or too disruptive; not anymore though! And that was before all the Copilot mess!

Most people don’t care about Linux. They don’t need to. It’s not just fine, but probably a good thing!

Every single one of my friends are on Linux. Only one of them is in “IT”. Most of my family is on Linux, because they didn’t want to deal with viruses and ads. (I don’t even “IT” for any of them, so I wasn’t consulted. At best I introduced them to the fact that Linux is at least as usable as Windows many years ago). A lot of my colleagues are on Linux; now, most of them are devs, but some of them are on macs and until Apples’s Proton-clone becomes a viable option running Linux on them is just cleaner.

Obviously, we’re less than a rounding error all summed together. Obviously, most of that number is from government issue systems. But it’s not as bleak and impersonal as it seems.

But so what?

Why do these numbers matter at all? Is it inherently virtuous for a country to have a high number of willing Linux users? Or is it because at least these machines waste fewer resources, run cooler, and more secure? Then does it matter who and why installed Linux on them?

If their users are fine with using a browser for all their work, and the offices can buy these PCs for cheaper than Chromebooks after our infamous taxes, not to mention avoid being ewaste for much longer, this is a win-win situation whichever way we look at it.

P.S. that I also own a Steam Deck (and use as my only PC) probably doesn’t help my everyman-credibility much 😅

In my defence, I could afford/justify it only because a good friend volunteered to buy it for me and bring it over. I wish things were different. But I’m happy I have one, at least.
