  • Non-Americans who have been to the US.. What is the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realize is weird?

  • Currently live in the Republic of Ireland and I have no idea what you're talking about? Were you here on Saint Patrick's Day? There's a significant amount of Palestinian flags in windows here for pretty obvious reasons but other than that I don't think I've seen a flag since, again, Paddy's day.

  • The sign actually would give me an increased sense of security yeah.

    Obviously a lunatic out to do a mass shooting would disregard the sign but your average gun wielder might be offended and take their business elsewhere – and statistically that's the one who's more likely to shoot me. That's my logic as a Norwegian who's lived there for just a year anyway.

  • If you could "Eternal Sunshine" a piece of media so that you could listen to it for the first time again, what would it be?

    Jump

  • I'm between The Black Parade (the album) by My Chemical Romance, an alt rock opera masterpiece imo, and Hamilton, the Broadway cast recording. I feel like the former might not work as well when removed from its time, but I bet it still would blow my mind.

  • How do I change the clipboard program that neovim uses?

  • This is exactly what happens. Actually the whole Wayland/xorg thing is not necessary, simply exiting a Wayland session and starting a new one will probably have the same effect, might depend on compositor. But it doesn't help knowing that it's the cause, I've known it for years, no closer to a solution. Obviously closing the tmux session and starting over is a "fix" in the same way that turning the machine off and on again is a fix. Kinda defeats the purpose of persistent tmux sessions.

  • New terminal apps: Warp and Wave

    Jump

  • Have you tried kitty? It's seriously nice if you can live with the occasional "oh no I sshed to a server that doesn't have the correct terminfo files and now none of the normal terminal navigation features work"

  • Is there any easy way to install a Linux distribution directly to a USB drive?

    Jump

  • This doesn't really install it, though, you can't update or permanently edit and config, set up users, or anything like that. I would guess OP wants something more like booting the ISO in a VM, allocating a thumb drive to that VM, and then installing a full system to it with a boot loader.

  • Rule to allow tearing for all games launched via Steam in Sway and Hyprland

    Jump

  • If I may ask, why do we want to enable tearing now? There are pages and pages across the wikis on how to fix tearing...

  • People who have studied and have applied Dialectical Materialism to resolve problems in your life/locality, could you share your experiences?

    Jump

  • Imo it's only a tool to understand and explain situations, not so much a tool to solve problems. Definitely understanding the forces that make up the conflict might help you solve a problem, but the solution will depend on what kind of forces are involved.

  • love how you don't have to alter serious rightwing memes to meme them

    Jump

  • Come on, this one is funny but why pretend it was ever made by a right wing person in earnest? Everything about it screams classic mocking meme.

  • Is there a linux distro (or just a DE) that can be used like a Smart TV

    Jump

  • Again The issue on the repo. The developers recommend just using the app feature of the browsers to get similar functionality without the security concerns.

  • Help with authentik and traefik random drops

    Jump

  • I honestly just did it to try to get cleaner logs having the container only be responsible for the proxying.

  • Is there a linux distro (or just a DE) that can be used like a Smart TV

    Jump

  • If you look at the repo, the very first line in the readme links to an issue that briefly explains why you should care.

    Unmaintained software comes in two categories:

    1. The software is done. It does exactly what it was meant to do and it was written in a language and in such a way as to be pretty future proof. Examples are some basic code libraries or command line utilities.
    2. The software had to be updated all the time to keep up with changing environments and security problems, so the dev got sick of it and dropped it. Or a better solution came along so the developer felt free to finally drop the burden.

    Nativefier falls in the second category and the second clause. Don't use it.

  • Help with authentik and traefik random drops

    Jump

  • I'll try that, but since I haven't been able to find any related issues I'm pretty sure it's a configuration error on my part. Hehe the regretfully long post. Next step will probably be to open an issue on authentik's GitHub but since I think it's a pebkac I would prefer not to waste their time.

  • tray icon for evolution mail

    Jump

  • You asked for my python script but now I can't seem to load that comment to reply directly to it. Anyway, here's the script, I haven't bothered to upload the repo anywhere. I'm sure it isn't perfect but it works fine for me. The action for opening evolution when you click the tray icon is specific to hyprland so will probably need to be modified to suit your needs.

    "evolution_tray", "resources/inbox-full.svg"
)

inotify = INotify()

tray = SystemTray(filename=empty_icon, menu=menu_def, tooltip="Inbox empty")

logging.getLogger("asyncio").setLevel(logging.WARNING)

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel("DEBUG")
logger.addHandler(handler)


def handle_menu_events():
    while True:

        if menu_item == "Exit":
            signal.raise_signal(signal.SIGTERM)
        elif menu_item == "__ACTIVATED__":
            run(["hyprctl", "dispatch", "exec", "evolution"])
            # tray.update(filename=paused_icon)

            unread += cursor.fetchone()[0]
        except:
            pass
        finally:

    watch_task = asyncio.wait(

        },
        return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED,
    )
    await asyncio.gather(watch_task, loop.create_task(handle_menu_events()))

  • If you want to do this, what you probably want is to pump your logs into a log drain, something like betterstack is good. They then allow you to set up discrepancy thresholds and can send you emails when something seems to be out of the ordinary. There's probably a self hosted thing that works the same way but I've never found a simple setup. You can do the whole Prometheus, influxdb, grafana setup but imo it's too much work, and then you still have to set up email smtp separate from that.

  • Literally had to write my own Python applet monitoring the DB file for this. Absurd limitation.

  • When is it "enough" money?

    Jump

  • Oooh look at Epicure over here, just casually getting in his 8 hours of sleep. Brag more king.

    On a serious note, the capitalists have commercialized all of this. Getting enough to eat might be doable with a meager income technically, but eating well and healthy is expensive. Getting a good bed in a nice living space that facilitates rest well costs a fortune. So you need two middle class plus jobs to afford it for yourself and your partner, which comes with its own set of stressors.

    The small things in life are also actively commercialized. A coffee with friends? Better save up for the chain cafe prices. A movie night in? Remember to pay your Netflix subscription. A hike? Gotta pay for gas to get there, depending on where you live. I'm not saying it's impossible to have small things for free/cheap, it's just not that easy. There's also going to be constant social pressure, through advertisement or influencers, first or secondhand, to do all the things they tell you will make you more happy. You'll have to actively resist that, which in turn can cause you to become distanced from your social circle.

    God forbid you get sick, the health insurance and pharmaceutical industry will fleece you and in some countries leave you with crippling debt, making all of the above out of reach for you.

    All of this to say: money isn't just something you have to chase after for the sake of it in our current society, it's an absolute necessity to try to have more than what you think you actually need in the moment to get by and enjoy the small things. It might sound cliche, but "society is like stacked against us, man" is actually a completely true statement.

  • Came to write basically this. I would try caddy but my compose file is 600 lines long now and half of that is traefik labels, I can't be arsed with the migration.
