Oh yeah it’s so annoying when apps do that and put data in .mozilla, .vscode, and .whatevers in the home folder instead of following the specs and splitting it between .config, .local/share and so on… I have 31 .something in my home folder that shouldn’t be there and It’s a cluttered mess. And a few games not even bothering to start the folder names with a dot… 😡

Not looking at my keyboard when typing. I switched to colemak last year, and since then I’ve managed to get into the habit of typing without looking. Which is very useful now that my keyboard stickers are starting to come off so it shows some letters twice and others not at all 😅

For a media server :

• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts (for podcasts it can fetch them online from a RSS link and download them, you don’t need to manually download them)
• Jellyfin for films, series and music (for music you can use jellyfin as backend and another app as frontend if you don’t like jellyfin’s music player, a lot of people find it lacking)
• Komga for reading comics and manga (there’s also Kavita but I haven’t tried it)
• Komf for fetching metadata for comics with Komga or Kavita
• Suwayomi Server for manga (it doesn’t only act as a reader, with extensions it can find manga online and download them; it can sync your reading progress with AniList, and it’s compatible with Tachiyomi if you need that)
• Haven’t found one yet for ebooks. I passionately hate Calibre and wouldn’t touch it again with a 10 foot pole, but a lot of people swear by it so you might give it a try and see whether you love it or hate it (it’s usually one of the two). Be warned though, it will automatically rename all your books and sort them in subfolders in a very stupid way, making it difficult to find anything again manually. So if you want to test it, do it on a copy of your ebooks first, that way if you don’t like it you won’t be stuck with everything in your ebook library renamed weirdly (speaking from experience -_-).

Cloud :

• Nextcloud : your very own locally hosted Cloud.

Everything can be run in docker containers so your distro or even OS doesn’t matter.

Hardware :

• Personally I run everything from my NAS in docker containers but it’s starting to get overloaded so I’m planning to make a dedicated media server on a cheap mini PC like a refurbished Dell OptiPlex SFF.
• You could also go for something like an OrangePi or RaspberryPi if you don’t mind using ARM.

total respect

Personally I put scripts in ~/.local/bin/scripts/ instead of just ~/.local/bin/ because I like to keep them separate from other binaries. To note: even though ~/.local/bin/ is in PATH, it’s subfolders are not, so if you do that you need to add the scripts subfolder to PATH if you want to run the scripts directly.

Well actually my scripts are in mydotfilesrepo/home/.local/bin/scripts, and I use GNU Stow to symlink mydotfilesrepo/home to /home/myuser/ (same for mydotfilesrepo/etc/ and mydotfilesrepo/usr/ which are symlinked to /etc and /usr), but it’s the same result. Stow is pretty cool for centralizing your configs and scripts in one repo !

I’ve never seen ~/bin before so I can’t comment on whether it’s a good idea.

Let’s also replace the customers by AI, that way the whole system will really be “AI first” and self-sufficient.

The excel people will never cease to amaze me…

No way, they get their results through honest effort. Anyone can make crappy AI products now, but Microsoft have been doing crappy products the hard way for decades. Don’t downplay their hard work !

YOU’RE A GENIUS ! I take eggs out starting by one end and it always feels super weird to have an unbalanced carton, I’ll have to try your method.

I have no clue what most of these abbreviations refer to 😅

Does the same issue also happen if you launch sway from the tty and not from gdm ?

I’ve never used gdm but it probably allow you to open a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F3, then log in and type sway.

“You asked, we built it” --> “People keep shitting on us for our terrible decisions… Quick let’s do something people actually want to compensate ! Wait let’s also slap AI on it, I’m sure everyone will love that” (Mozilla being Mozilla I guess…)

For one second I thought Mozilla might have made something that wasn’t anti-feature… But OF COURSE it’s going to need to have AI 😑

15° ??? 😱 Are you sure you’re not a ghost that doesn’t know it froze to death last winter ?

No I’m really really really lazy… and I hate source installs because you don’t get updates and need to do them yourself. So I guess I’m going to try to figure out how to make an AUR package. Being lazy sure is a lot of work 😅

That looks really cool !

(But I’m lazy so I’ll just wait for the AUR package 😅 )

That’s only because you’re dumb. What do you need heating for ? You could just wear a turtleneck and save on energy costs (according to the French government asking people to turn the heating down to 17° in winter)

Same as every day :

• Make a To Do li… oh squirrels !

Aeon Flux. For a weird experimental cartoon, it’s very good and very weird. I could rewatch it forever.
