Haha thanks, I guess being the family tech support does help practice!

Awesome! If you experiment with different resolutions and the screen doesn’t turn on again, wait 15 seconds. Without confirmation, plasma will restore the previous resolution on its own.

Since you’re now able to see the laptop screen with the monitor connected, try changing the monitor’s resolution and refresh rate to a lower value. Plasma should hide options which are incompatible with your monitor, but maybe it’s not doing that for you. (right click on the desktop and choose “display settings”)

Does the monitor turn on from standby when you plug the cable in? If the monitor has other ports, try those as well.

There’s a typo in the article, it’s ~/.local/share/kscreen

In desktop mode, you can press the Super+P (Win+P) keyboard combination to bring up a menu to choose which screen to display on. Keep pressing P while holding the other key to move forward in this list, then press enter. If you keep doing this, eventually you should end up on an option that includes your laptop screen. Alternatively, you can make Bazzite forget about your monitors by deleting the file it stores screen profiles in, then rebooting: https://ryan.himmelwright.net/post/reset-plasma5-monitor-config/

Well it kinda fragments the effort. Each campaign has to essentially do the same things, but twice.

endof10.org is hosted on KDE infrastructure, why are there two competing initiatives?

Don’t know of a solution that does this, but you could solve it with a two-step process. First, rsync the files to the server as-is, then use a background job on the server that converts lossless to lossy every hour or so.

Storage is really cheap these days though, why compress lossy in the first place?

Annnd the rss is hosted on fireside instead of their own domain

“Nobody will take care of you if you don’t take care of yourself”

Apply this to pushing back on contracts, double checking what you’re asked to do, and putting yourself first, and you’ll get a lot more respect in my experience. If you primarily put others first, your self will feel neglected. It doesn’t mean you should not care for others, but that your highest priority should be yourself, and then others.

Did something happen with NextDNS? Last I heard they were pretty good among the non-selfhosted bunch.

It might be a bit overkill but I use Grafana to do this (with Loki). It’s a pretty involved setup as well, but you can filter and search by content, or date/time. It’s doable on a desktop but mainly servers use it

I typed :q and it just says :q on the bottom, all this advice and I’m still stuck in vim. My electricity bill has been high since 2022 because of this heavy editor with no x button

Glass cups work unfailingly for me. As far as I know they don’t see very well, so once, I tried slowly lowering one over them, and have been doing it since. Nothing else needed, just wait for it to land near you on a hard and even surface. They so far have not noticed it until the cup was fully down. After catching one, I slide a thin paper/something under the cup, and take the whole thing outside to release it.

There’s a lot more to an application than its configuration. It may require certain specific system libraries, need a certain way of starting up, or a whole host of other special things. With a container, the app dev can precreate a perfect environment for their program and save you LOADS of hassle trying to set it up.

The benefit of all this is that you can know exactly where application state is stored, know that you’re running the app in it’s right environment, and it becomes turbo easy to install updates, or roll back if needed.

Totally spin up a VM, install docker on it, and deploy 2-3 web apps. You’ll notice that you use the same way of configuring them, starting and stopping them, and you might not want to look back ;)

The most popular way of configuring containers are by using environment variables that live outside the container. But for apps that use files to store configuration, you can designate directories on your host that will be available inside the container (called “volumes” in Docker land). It’s also possible to link multiple containers together, so you can have a database container running alongside the app.

Just until they kill it as well

Of course

AFAIK they don’t allow passing content through jellyfin, or running a vpn through a tunnel. General web services are fine tho
