  • Resigning as Asahi Linux project lead

    Jump

  • Can a maintainer really NACK any patch they dislike? I mean I get that Hellwig said he won't merge it. Fine. What if for example Kroah-Hartman says "whatever, I like it" and merges it nonetheless in his tree?

  • PSA: Update to Plasma 6.3 can make Wayland session unusable if you have configured monitor ICC profiles

    Jump

  • Damn, so that was the issue. I spent 2h trying around with different packages I suspected to cause an error during start. Then I desperately moved my .config dir out of the way to rule out an incompatible config and lo and behold... it worked. I then moved it back and tried to delete configs more finegranular. After a few iterations without success I just removed almost all kde and plasma related configs and reconfigured everything from scratch. I should have scrolled through my feed earlier 😁

  • How do you guys feel about the Pomodoro Technique?

    Jump

  • Maybe only using the pause timer would work. Once you start procrastinating, start the timer, allow yourself to do whatever but once the timer is done, back to work.

  • Do you guys have difficulties watching movies?

    Jump

  • Typically I get easily distracted or bored during movies. The only exception in recent years was Oppenheimer. It had such a fantastic pacing that the three hours rushed by and I didn't pick up my phone even once. It was incredible.

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?

    Jump

  • Is that really a relevent attack vector in your day to day use, that full disk encryption wouldn't cover? My browser is rarely closed when I am on the PC, so it would be accessible (because unlocked).

  • RGB+C+W light showing up as only C+W bulb

    Jump

  • There is some documentation in the forum about how to add new device support or where to request it. Read it and then decide what to do.

  • RGB+C+W light showing up as only C+W bulb

    Jump

  • What ZigBee Coordinator do you use? I know deconz and zigbee2mqtt have the ability to add support for new devices via config files. But that's a bit of a rabbit hole into the ZigBee protocol. They also have forums/issue trackers where one can request support for new devices.

  • Self hosting email, what's the latest and greatest what FOSS can offer?

    Jump

  • Stalwart is 95% awesome. What holds me back is, that Mails are stored in a Database and not Maildir. Maildir is insanely trivial to backup incrementally and to restore individual mails if necessary. That currently holds me on dovecot.

  • 💡 Matter Lights!

    Jump

  • But that's the neat thing: the system is well structured into different layers and subcomponents. They are not all involved to control lightbulbs; that's mostly your local hue bridge. One component will make sure, Alexa can control your bulbs (if you want that). If that component fails, only Alexa stops working. Another component handles push notifications to your mobile devices. If that fails, the rest is unimpacted. And so on.

    That was, for a long time, the main reason I heavily recommended Hue: the bridge can be used completely offline and still offered a good local API and pairing system. Unfortunately last year that made online accounts a requirement. I assume besides the App you can still use many things even if your network connection is broken, though.

  • Question: self-hosted instant messanger.

    Jump

  • It's more comparable to Snikket. Both Snikket and Prose use Prosody as server with their own extensions.

  • Question: self-hosted instant messanger.

    Jump

  • You could look into prose. The interface of slack/discord/mattermost, built on XMPP, with E2EE.

  • 💡 Matter Lights!

    Jump

  • What's wrong with that? Do you expect their backend to run off a single server with a little PHP script? The components seem pretty reasonable (with the actual business logic being just a small part).

  • Why self host a password manager?

    Jump

  • Bitwardens local cache does not include attachments, though. If you rely on them, you have to rely on the server being available.

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • I don't understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?

  • The Elder Scrolls Online now “officially” playable on the Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Why? What did Zenimax do to you?

  • Companies that use desktop Linux

    Jump

  • Most people in my company use OSX, followed by a few dozen Linux users (various distros; whatever each one prefers), followed by a few Windows users (whyever they want that). So essentially: we can choose what we want to use.

  • Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"

    Jump

  • Yes and no; you left out part of my quote. Stuff that can be put in a reminder is up to me (especially if I tell them "I'll handle it"). But if for whatever reason that's not possible and I tell them "you might have to remind me again next week" and they are fine with that, then they shouldn't be pissed if I indeed needed a reminder. That's what I meant with "I warned them".

  • Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"

    Jump

  • This doesn’t seem reasonable… If you accept some responsibility

    But ... that was the point. "Telling them your boundaries" implies not accepting something you are not up to. My managers know that I am not a good manager myself. I have a lot of qualities, at being a driving force in a project is not among them. So they don't utilize me for that. Which is good.

    Yes, it would be on me if I constantly tell them "sure, just let me handle it" and then not handle it. But that would be the opposite of what I wrote above.

  • Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"

    Jump

  • I mostly agree, but (what else ):

    No one has the right to make their internal turmoil everyone else’s problem, even if it may be particularly burdensome. The world should be far more sympathetic and empathetic, but at some point you have to take responsibility for you.

    IMO you do take responsibility when you tell others about your boundaries and how they can work around them. If they don't want to because it also costs them a little bit of energy and disrupts their typical workflows they have (again: IMO) no right to blame it all on you. If I tell them "I can't do X" or something and they again and again expect me to do X, it's also on them.

    Simple example: I tell colleagues, family, whatever to please remind me again if they feel I missed something they expected of me. If they do, all is good. If they later are pissed that I missed something and immediately blame me ... sorry my friend, I warned you. (If I had the ability to set a reminder, sure that's on me for not doing that. But it doesn't always work that way.)
