And we shall watch its development with great interest.

Thanks!

guake-terminal for a full-screen overlay terminal, I have a keybinding for transparency toggle so I can read guides through the overlay. I used to use tilda, but I switched because they weren’t supporting wayland.

For random/ad-hoc terminals I’ve historically used gnome-terminal and console, but recently I’ve been trying to eliminate window decoration entirely, and for that I’ve been liking black box (flatpak) for the floating decoration and other configuration bits.

They both support theming, and have dracula included by default, so it was easy enough to get a consistent look and feel.

I have tabs switched off for all of them. That’s what tmux is for.

edit: I’ll probably be checking out alacritty

Can you give us some more details about how your network, mesh and machines are setup?

Are you trying to access the containers from the machine they’re running on, or from a different machine?

Is the container host moving between different AP’s, or is it on ethernet?

What IP address do you get when connected to the different access points? Does it change?

Are your access points in Access Point only mode, or are they acting as routers? What brand/model?

How are the mesh access points connected - powerline, ethernet, wifi meshing?

Same situation for me - only my desk mate plays accuradio over speakers like we’re in a fucking gym. I can barely keep focused on anything

Amen. Managed to ‘prove’ I was competent enough to run linux on my personal laptop due to a combination of needing me as an employee and that I was able to show why their RDS solution broke after an official windows update with xfreerdp.

I keep my windows workstation up to date and switched on - but all work is done from my laptop and no one’s questioned me so far.

Strictly according to the IT policy, Windows is not required - they just thought I wouldn’t be able to access anything without it. When I proved to the auditors that I met every checkbox on the requirements list, they said it was fine too xD

Used to be ‘reader’ modes only offered conversion of articles posted in ‘apple reader format’.

Some versions seem to have become smarter since then, but I’d imagine if it’s not using a standard or website it’s programed to be able to parse and condense, it can’t guarantee preservation of the article contents, and doesn’t offer it

Thanks!

I like the idea, I’m just not willing to pay for it. I’m happy listening to a decent text-to-speech output, and I wish companies would stop making it difficult to do that.

Apparently there has been a problem with gtk4 apps and theming in flatpak, only supporting adwaita light and dark - only found vague reference to it though, nothing concrete.

Try

    
flatpak-metadata sockets

  

To see if you can find the GTK_THEME environment variable.

You’ve given it permission to access the themes folder, now you need go point it at the themes

    
sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=my-theme 
sudo flatpak override --env=ICON_THEME=my-icon-theme

  

Where my-theme is the theme name, e.g. Adwaita-dark

Apparently the flatseal gui has some functionality to set the theme too! Will check it out tomorrow to see what’s up.

Is it being forced to look for a theme installed via flatpak maybe?

Sure, but you always download the latest bugs.

-known issue: audio skips every 10s

It also means that the majority of your intra-network traffic won’t be forwarded to your router, even when the router is online. The switch will just pass it on to the correct MAC address directly.

Edit: for reference, this is know as the router on a stick configuration

The next part is decoupling your your dhcp and dns and firewall from your ISPs router. I’ve done this with a raspberry pi, but you could buy or acquire a drop in replacement.

Get control over your core and edge network. Then you’ll have the freedom to do lots more with your home network, and the privacy to do it with.

For example, my streaming devices go over dedicated vpns to different countries so I can get different content, but the rest of my devices don’t. I can still connect, control and cast to them because my phone is on the same network, just going to a different gateway.

My current plan is to drop my ISP line speeds by half, and pick up a competitors line to have a dual-WAN load-balanced setup at home. I’m sick of being beholden to one company’s whims on when it wants to reboot my router for ‘maintenance’

Be strong for mother

I ran Fedora 33, and upgraded it in place through to fedora 36. Ran pretty well the whole time.

I had snapper running for btrfs snapshotting, and did a double hop release jump to 38. Somehow I messed up my high water mark config for snapper in the mean time, and ran out of disk space mid-install without realizing. Symptom was firefox crashing. So I rebooted. Borked.

I agree with all of your complaints about it, and there’s plenty to dislike, but it’s still probably a good landing point for new users.

For me, it was the right amount of itjust.works at the right time, coming from debian (an update in 2018 killed my gdm, and I rage switched to fedora). Next stop is Gentoo!

What??

Amen. Also they tend to draw less power than your average cheap desktop, so it’s a great middle ground between pc and sbc

I mean, maybe test the water supply? Odds are there’s something very wrong with it these days

I’ve got a family member on one running mint.

I’ve run debian and fedora on the late 2013 model. Trackpad gestures used to be handled by libinput-gestures (found on github), and would handle tap double tap and swipe up to 4 fingers - though I think there are some gestures that are just handled by some window managers these days

Edit: added link

:f

Calibre is the way to go. It’ll convert quite happily to epub, html, whatever. I just converted the Linux From Scratch book pdf in to epub and mobi for my kindle.

If you just need to edit a pdf and change some formatting on a line, try LibreOffice Draw!
