Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?

  • Some monitors like the Dell U4323qe have a KVM built in, the KVM does Ethernet too.

  • Where your friends are?

    • Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore?

    Jump

  • Most of the reasons mentioned, and also they are a bit out of the way to install and setup, you don't get much feedback as per users using them. As they integrated with the OS you have to search for them as a user, and you have advertise them as a someone packaging. Every extra step creates friction which ads up. It feels like a solution based in the concept of maintaining SEP. -- Plus people aren't exactly paid to do this.

  • What are your needs which aren't being met with flutter? -- It's really just a UI renderer and it has a C/C++/ObjectC/Java underlayer for everything else. It should link fine with existing c libraries. I have done a bit with it recently including desktop dev: https://www.producthunt.com/products/which-browser So hopefully I can answer any questions. -- Hit me up on matrix

    It seems that Zig is the intended language? If go where a consideration I would point you at this to consider: https://github.com/go-graphics/go-gui-projects too.

    • Systemd Looks to Replace sudo with run0

    Jump

  • Sounds reasonable. But I don't like the 0 in the name.

    • is there a download manager for Linux that just works?

    Jump

  • jdownloader seems pretty close to "internet download manager"

    Also I prefer yt-dlp over youtube-dl

    • You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

    Jump

  • Thanks. I didn't know, it is also on my list.

  • That part was understood. I don't think I could complete 1 game in that period of time.

    • Google Podcasts is gone — and so is my faith in Google

    • Ransomware attackers are increasingly targeting backups — so make sure yours are protected

    Jump

  • Burn read only backups.

  • Not sure 12 hours is enough time for me to grab much. Perhaps my backlog.

    • Thanks to the tldr devs

    • Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app

    Jump

  • I'm contemplating trying to run the meta bridge locally to get around that issue, it has to do with their server running in I think Finland?

  • At some point they said that after beta it would be $9 a month. But that messaging seems to have disappeared.

    • Do you follow Just-in-Time Learning?

    Jump

  • I feel like I have been doing this all my life. I think it's more to do with the depth of understanding too. But the environment has to support it, if there is an expectation that everyone is an expert from day one, and there is no room for self improvement then it can't be done.

    As stated there are down falls with the approach such as lack of exposure to new ideas. You still need to look just not study. But to me it's also a work/life balance policy. But don't practice it in extreme as it can hold you back. Good work places should allow for some learning time and I'm hoping that gets normalized.

    • Yeah yeah, we know you're special

  • Forgot /dev/hdx ?

    • Russia ‘ready’ for nuclear war, Putin claims

  • Age old rule, invert the statement; they aren't ready, don't start now they don't think it would be fair.

    • Facebook ate and then ignored the news industry. It's hard, but we should leave it be

    Jump

  • Would this mean free news for all residents and citizens and journalist get paid for consumption?

    • What's your favorite terminal?

    Jump

  • Used to use it a lot. However these days I prefer window'd terminals that popup with a keyboard shortcut. To answer op. I use konsole atm. Usually that suffices, I don't know what features I'm missing but I keep an eye on Warp. Tempted to write my own /again./
