Haha thanks, I guess being the family tech support does help practice!

Awesome! If you experiment with different resolutions and the screen doesn't turn on again, wait 15 seconds. Without confirmation, plasma will restore the previous resolution on its own.

Since you're now able to see the laptop screen with the monitor connected, try changing the monitor's resolution and refresh rate to a lower value. Plasma should hide options which are incompatible with your monitor, but maybe it's not doing that for you. (right click on the desktop and choose "display settings")

Does the monitor turn on from standby when you plug the cable in? If the monitor has other ports, try those as well.

There's a typo in the article, it's ~/.local/share/kscreen

In desktop mode, you can press the Super+P (Win+P) keyboard combination to bring up a menu to choose which screen to display on. Keep pressing P while holding the other key to move forward in this list, then press enter. If you keep doing this, eventually you should end up on an option that includes your laptop screen. Alternatively, you can make Bazzite forget about your monitors by deleting the file it stores screen profiles in, then rebooting: https://ryan.himmelwright.net/post/reset-plasma5-monitor-config/

Well it kinda fragments the effort. Each campaign has to essentially do the same things, but twice.

endof10.org is hosted on KDE infrastructure, why are there two competing initiatives?

Don't know of a solution that does this, but you could solve it with a two-step process. First, rsync the files to the server as-is, then use a background job on the server that converts lossless to lossy every hour or so.

Storage is really cheap these days though, why compress lossy in the first place?

Annnd the rss is hosted on fireside instead of their own domain

Holy crap it took way too long for me to realise what you're doing

"Nobody will take care of you if you don't take care of yourself"

Apply this to pushing back on contracts, double checking what you're asked to do, and putting yourself first, and you'll get a lot more respect in my experience. If you primarily put others first, your self will feel neglected. It doesn't mean you should not care for others, but that your highest priority should be yourself, and then others.

Did something happen with NextDNS? Last I heard they were pretty good among the non-selfhosted bunch.

Oh my god thank you! I'm forever using wet instead of GMT now

That's the most cursed toolbar I've seen and I love it! Kinda like vertical tabs were at first sight I guess

It might be a bit overkill but I use Grafana to do this (with Loki). It's a pretty involved setup as well, but you can filter and search by content, or date/time. It's doable on a desktop but mainly servers use it

I typed :q and it just says :q on the bottom, all this advice and I'm still stuck in vim. My electricity bill has been high since 2022 because of this heavy editor with no x button

You mean I can okay modded Cities Skylines and be mayor at more than 29 fps? Sign me up!

No way to know if you meant to typo type or typo

Glass cups work unfailingly for me. As far as I know they don't see very well, so once, I tried slowly lowering one over them, and have been doing it since. Nothing else needed, just wait for it to land near you on a hard and even surface. They so far have not noticed it until the cup was fully down. After catching one, I slide a thin paper/something under the cup, and take the whole thing outside to release it.
