Just a heads up for people though the method you describe where you set a hotkey to open a video externally to mpv currently isn’t working as google has essentially borked youtube-dl. Just tried it right now via qutebrowser and youtube-dl can’t read the urls anymore.
within the past month? what all these people in Asia suddenly found a stockpile of machines with Win7 on them and all, collectively, decided “yeah lets just use these”?
I don’t buy it.
yup they’ll go the route of Sega. The writing has been on the wall with the Xbox Division for awhile now that I’m honestly surprised they’re still trying to “make it work”.
Xbox was a weird one. I haven’t used one since the 360 and honestly I couldn’t even begin to tell you what the next console in the line was after the 360. was it the series x? was it the one? I dont’ know. I mean after buying like 5 360s because of red ring or whatever why would I continue that idiocy?
I use Bitwardens self hosted option, VaultWarden, that I run in a docker. works fine. I use it with the bitwarden CLI since I’m using QuteBrowser on all my machines. I then run a weekly backup of my vaultwarden to an external ssd.
Beauty of it is that it will also work with Bitwardens extension on chrome or firefox. So if I’m on another machine and I need access to my PW’s I can just install the extension, add my self-hosted vaultwarden, then remove it when i’m done.
sure thing, just gonna get started on it now so…give me like 20min.
Sorry, took 30min not 20…anywho https://market.andmc.ca/
welp guess I’ll set up a Canadian instance for this today. I like it. good idea.
done. https://market.andmc.ca/
PLEASE NOTE FOR MY FELLOW CANUCKS: I’m just starting a test on it within the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) at like a 50km range. if it’s fine after a couple days then i’ll gradually expand it out. I DON’T have a lot of time to work on it today so It’s very bare bones right now but it’s up and seems to be working fine. have at it I suppose.
Second NOTE: I have no clue how to deal with a marketplace so as far as “rules” go i’m clueless so…don’t be a dick.
it WAS a good deal early on. Also when they introduced their partnership with RIOT and it would allow you to unlock all the characters in LoL that was a very good deal if you were a League player.
but the price increases and what have you…meh. it was good to get access to some games and not have to pay full retail for them. I’m thankful I didn’t pay full price for Starfield and just played it on gamepass but there would be months on end where there was nothing on there worth playing.
Shadowlands was where I finally stopped. Playing since day one I’ll never forget when I decided to stop. I got the the “fairy land” part of the expansion, was running my Orc Hunter through and then I just stopped and asked myself “What are you doing?” It wasn’t fun. It became a chore to get through the content to the eventual gear grind at the end just like ALL the previous expansions.
I run Akkoma, Navidrome, Searx, valutwarden, RomM, Forgejo, wireguard, RDP, and a few other things all via docker. Honestly I just keep everything in their own dir and just have Yazi on my server to make it easier to manage. I don’t auto update anything, it’s all manual updates.
I’m probably going to slap Watchtower in there to just make things easier. don’t really need to over think it in all honesty.
Claude Sonnet? so you enjoy being lied to on a daily basis because that’s all you’re getting from Claude. Claude Code is alright but using Claude.ai you might as well just throw a dart at wall to get a solution on something.
I just use weechat in a separate wezterm tab. works well for me.
to tack onto this CachyOS is a fantastic introduction to Arch.
Try Pop. They just put Cosmic into Beta and updated the OS so now would be a great time to give it a shot. Or just load up a bunch of distro live isos on like a thumb drive or external drive and try them all and see which one you like the best. There’s zero harm in distro hopping and you should never feel like you need to lock yourself down to one distro for months or years on end. I myself distro hop all the time when I want to switch up my linux experience. good way to learn them all too. I’ll bounce around from Arch to Fedora back to Arch then to NixOS over to Void or whatever I want. I run NixOS on my main machine, have CachyOS/Arch on another and my server is Ubuntu. And all that will change soon as I want to go and try out one of the new KDE distros or something completely different.
Honestly just use whatever you want whenever you want. I mean for myself I’m currently using DOOM Emacs but that’ll change in a month or two when I decide to use something else. I’ll routinely rotate through Neovim/LazyVim, DOOM Emacs, Zed, Kate, whatever really. if something new comes along, i’ll use that for a bit. Hell sometimes I just can’t be bothered and will just use Nano.
But yeah, they’re all fine. use whatever you want.
I know when I tried to sign up with Herztwhatever, the other popular European one, they wanted my ID and I said no way. but yeah OVH has never once asked for mine.
really? I never had to do that. They’ve left me alone since I originally signed up with them.
I actually daily drove it during Alpha for a bit but stopped using it after a couple Alpha releases because it got a bit worse with each alpha release and more slow. Haven’t tried the beta yet but will probably get around to it soon.
Killer feature? I mean if you want GNOME or a regular DE with tiling then sure…have at it. You’re not going to get anywhere near the caliber of customization you would have with say KDE Plasma or literally any other WM out there but the trade of is you don’t have to deal with config files for the tiling aspect. It’s a buggy mess though. With each added feature the bugs just increased which is sort of expected.
The last time I used it the shortcuts were a bit of a pain to get working correctly and the startup was slow. It does come packaged with its own file manager and terminal. The file manager isn’t anything special, but honestly the terminal isn’t that bad. If I recall the terminal doesn’t support images so if that’s something you want (like for me it is since I use Yazi) then I’d just uninstall it. I don’t think it has the option to style GTK stuff but I heard they might have changed that with the Beta.
It’s launcher is pretty nice and you can do a lot with it. naturally app launching but also web searching, calculator, file searching, etc.
I wish it had an option like KDE Plasma does for laptops where you can completely disable the touchpad if you have an external mouse plugged in instead of just disable while typing. But you can circumvent that if you know what you’re doing with like something like noinput cli or whatever or making a udev rule.
I think it still needs a wee bit longer to bake. If they can work out the bugs, speed it up a bit, and make the overall size of it smaller than KDE I would switch back to it. It’s pretty simple and bare bones but I mean for wayland your only options are pretty much Plasma or GNOME so having a third option is awesome.
Saudi Arabia all of a sudden has become a Teenager from the late 90s/early 00s. Just buying Wrestlemania, Videogame companies and events, etc.
Next thing you know they’re going to buy Mountain Dew, Doritos, JNCO jeans and the band KoRn.
yup, am a Canuck :/
