My issue is that my super key moved from being on the left side to the right so that even more are two handed I may need to change that if I'm going to officially go back to a window manager.

2024-09-05 17:15:50

Using a window manager with a split keyboard feels very odd.
The key bindings have always been two handed but now they really feel that way.

hmm, maybe. Would that be controlled by the Gnome power settings? I've never had a desktop with anything like that before.

2024-08-24 00:25:32

I have the oddest damn Bluefin bug happening. The system gets really effing laggy all the time. The cursor looks like it is constantly having to catch up with itself, making it look like dropped frames, and when typing sometimes it takes extra time for a letter to appear on-screen.
The oddest part is that if I open obs to record this behavior, everything starts to run smooth as butter. I cannot get it to happen on camera, I can't get it to stop off camera.

Oh? Was it as awkward for you as it was for me or just not your style?

2024-08-18 04:47:20

If you're a Linux/FOSS YouTuber and you don't have your monetization on, you should. Google is going to run ads on your content whether you have it on or not, so you might as well get your cut.

Early review of the dactyl manuform keyboard. It's good, but it needs weight. It is too easy to move around. Also while some keys are very easy to reach, some require some finger gymnastics to get to. Also the browns I ordered with it are too light.

Anyone know if there is a way to make Calibre look less like it was developed before YaST?

2024-08-05 00:13:52

So switched my family over from Google's Chomecast to Amazon Fire TV tonight. Wasn't planning on it, but Google Assistant stopped working with YouTubeTV, and that's a must for my mom and dad since they have very poor vision.
Alexa works great with YouTubeTV, which I find hilarious.

2024-08-05 00:12:32

Installing Calibre on openSUSE installs 334 packages.
I love Python. lol

Vim only opens up a text file of what is in the epub file. It won't let you open up the .opf file that you need to edit the metadata.

I think I will look at something else for backups. Someone told me that btrfs send would be fairly simple, and it is if both ends are btrfs, but I don't need something too complicated.

I hope that it was something specific that people got upset over and not just because he joined up.
I agree with basically nothing the man says, but it'd be pretty crappy for people to cancel him just because he has moronic views.
But, I guess that's just the way things happen.

2024-08-04 00:45:38

- reply

That's what I thought, but I was hoping otherwise. It makes btrfs send not as useful for me for home directory backups. My big backup drives are all either ext4 or zfs.

2024-08-04 00:40:19

For those of you who use #btrfs, when you do a btrfs send, does the target also need to be formatted btrfs? I'm guessing yes, but I want confirmation.

No, sometimes you do need to get a Google search. They do a good job of searching Reddit, for example. Searx doesn't.

Sure. Or the marathon, or cycling, or sailing. Literally anything else

2024-08-03 04:56:16

I really, really, like having my own instance of Searx. it has been awesome and the results aren't terrible. Even a little better than Google sometimes. But I do wish it had !g like DDG.

Yeah, 11ty on my end is completely borked. I thought it was just that I fuq'd over the install, but it happens on an Ubuntu server too where I know I did the install right.
So either the script I use isn't working or 11ty is broken.
Going to look at Hugo, but I'm not sure if that's what I want to go with. I tried to get Jekyll installed on openSUSE, but it will not work for some reason. It wouldn't add itself to the PATH.

All that goes to say, the video I recorded won't be edited tonight. And I have a doctor's appt tomorrow, so it will likely be Wednesday before we get a video on TLC

2024-07-30 01:12:32

So this has been a *day*.
I did get a video recorded. Unfortunately after I did that, I couldn't get back into my openSUSE install. For some odd ass reason, the UUID of the SWAP partition kept changing. Never seen anything like it in my life.
Didn't really have time to troubleshoot it as I had some work that had to be done. So I've re-installed openSUSE for the third time during my 2 year challenge.
What it's reminded me to do, though, is keep better backups.
