GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
  • I have no idea about apple design guidelines and am not a UX designer, but wouldn't a horizontal seperator look better? In gtk i would add one here, gives some extra space and more visual seperation.

  • Switching to OCaml bois
  • I was the same, but I recently gave zig a try, it's lovely to write.

    Managed to segfault the compiler though, so maybe not quite ready yet.

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
  • So I don't even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.

    It's not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

  • When your blinkers stop working, adapt and overcome!
  • BMW badge (because BMW drivers seem to have something against blinking)

  • Hey LKW fahrer hier, mach gerade meine 45 Minuten Pause (-;

    LKWs haben zwar tote Winkel Spiegel und ich muss sagen dass ich darin eigentlich bis jetzt immer alles sehen konnte (fahre erst seit ein paar Wochen), aber rechts habe ich 4 Spiegel, da geht schnell mal was unter oder man wird (leider) faul, so wie manche PKW Fahrer keinen Schulterblick machen. Habe bei meinen Einschulungsfahrten Fahrer gesehen, die garnicht erst in die Spiegel geschaut haben beim abbiegen. Der Warner in den LKWs meiner Firma piepst automatisch wenn er bei eingeschlagenem Lenkrad oder Blinker was erkennt, so ist man zumindest aufmerksam wenn doch mal etwas rechts neben dem Auto ist.

    Tote Winkel gibt es aber zumindest auf jeden fall direkt hinter dem LKW, da gibts auch keine Spiegel für. Wundert mich manchmal selbst wenn aus dem nichts ein Auto zum überholen ansetzt das ich hinter mir garnicht kommen sehen konnte.

    Sonst ist eigentlich alles gut durch Spiegel abgedeckt. Trotzdem bitte vorsicht rechts neben und direkt vorm LKW. Kein Fahrer fährt euch gerne an.

  • Help with Openbox menu to run command
  • Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command] [some arguments] [...] This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.

    Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.

  • Normalerweis trink i Augustiner, kriegts in Österreich aber nur in den großen Geschäften. Zipfer is von den Brauunion Bieren mMn. eh noch eines der besseren.

  • I need a Fediverse slogan

  • RPi Alternatives for Self-hosting
  • I use a quartz64 from pine. Back when it came out it was beefier than the rpi4. With the 5 that has now changed but it still is a great little machine.

    My instance runs on it aswell as my other webservices (A Homepage, cgit instance and a small blog). Handles everything really well with the 8GiB of RAM.

    Setup is a bit of a pain, especially because I had the urge to run gentoo on it. Compile times are actually acceptable.

    It costs 80 bucks, which is really acceptable.

    Edit: Forgot to mention energy efficiancy, ARM is unbeaten by x86 in that department. People on here recommend old PCs a lot, which, depending on your local energy prices could quiet quickly void the savings made by buying it. Also it has a SATA port, which requires some tinkering with the Devicetree to get running but allowed me to use an old 1TB SSD i had in the house.

  • What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?
  • Also tiktok really only makes sense with a big algorithm knowing what users want to see. Even if you were to follow many people, with the average video being only about 30 seconds long you won't have much content to enjoy. The whole short form video thing is kinda built on knowing what your user likes and doesn't. I don't know how you could design such a platform without some privacy concerns.

  • Fitbit Clock Face
  • IIRC it comes with a firmware called InfiniTime preinstalled. So I guess that one.

  • I had no idea you could just do that
  • I think I got everyone. Refelctions are my enemy now but here you go:

    Startet filming in portrait for some reason, tried my best to make the transition make somwhat smooth.

    Anyway my filming is beyond saving (:

  • I had no idea you could just do that
  • I had the absolute pleasure to sit in BOTH of these Panthers at Innsbruck airport last year.

    They even startet the engines and drove out of the hangar with us inside and gave us a little water salute. Absolute pleasure, I felt like a little kid!

    I do have a video of the spray, sadly there were many people around and I don't want to show their faces. Needless to say these things shoot water like a rocket!

  • Bring Karma back from reddit (if you want, no hard feelings pls), but without toxicity (maybe)!
  • Karma inherently breeds monotony and circlejerking. When people "farm" for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one "right" (popular) oppinion.

    I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I'm happy I don't have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

  • Die Föderation scheint immer noch ein wenig defekt. Hochwählis und Kommentare von euch seh ich immer noch nicht. Aber 0.19.2 ist ja bald da, hoffentlich klappts dann wieder.

    Wenn ihr mir antwortet seh ich das nicht ),:

  • What You're acc to your fav language
  • Never worked with nim or godot, but it is able to call c routines? So I guess you would be able to call to gdnative?

    Likely isn't gonna be beatifull, but it should work.

  • Gentoo goes Binary (packages)
  • Well we've had binary packages for ages for big builds like firerox and default is still to use source packages.

    Still I'm really excited for this, having the whole, or big parts of the package tree, will speed up initial installations by a lot on weak arm systems for example. Now initial installation can be done quick and later you could still compile stuff yourself for the full gentoo experience.

  • [Swaybar] Cava in swaybar
  • Here is the source code of the status commans:

    http://sprunge.us/4xaYvq

    And here is the relevant cava config: http://sprunge.us/hiY6EA

    Don't say I didn't warn ya about quality. Some path are hardcoded in, some are provided with defines. Generally just a big mess.

    Comes with the works on my machine, might break yours warranty :D

    [Swaybar] Cava in swaybar

    Distro: Gentoo

    WM: Sway

    Bar: Swaybar

    It seems swaybar gets very little love, but it is honestly amazing how easily customizable it is.

    I have only been able to find similar things for waybar, so I thought I should probably just code up a solution for spectrum visualization myself.

    In the background runs a little selfmade C program that uses cava in binary raw mode, playerctl, pactl and some system functions to gather all the necessary information like the spectrum analyzer, song currently playing, volume and date/time.

    Some rudimentary optimization was done to keep swaybar from drawing when the levels haven't changed, so if no audio is playing it takes up basically no computing power.

    The source code is pretty hacked together, but if someone wants it, just comment and I'll provide it.

    A small moving demo of the spectrum analyzer: https://youtu.be/S7IFNHgnybU

    Edit: turns out YouTube doesn't like weird aspect ratios and stopped processing the video, so here we go again, this time hosted on my server: !https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm

  • Well it is pretty much impossible to delete anything on any federated service. It is technically just not possible without opening a whole other world of problems.

    I always like to think of the fediverse in some way like emails. If you send an email, the moment it leaves your mail providers server it is pretty much impossible to stop.

    Basically think before you post. The internet never forgets, the fediverse especially so.
