For logging, PANEL_DEBUG=all (source) seems to work. Anyway, did you reboot the system after removing xfce-volumed-pulse (so only xvce-pulseaudio-plugin should be enabled) ?

nmtake ,

You don’t need pulseaudio and pipewire at the same time because pipewire provides pulseaudio-compatible server (pipewire-pulse). Also, pipewire usually doesn’t require audio group. Did you follow the official docs or other online guide?

Kernel Maintenance By a Novice.

been using Arch for years but i am still a novice, yesterday i had found that in order for something to work on my system i will need to edit a few lines in kernel which i did, then removed unnecessary modules > intel, > nvidia, compiled. it worked great but with Arch and its rolling release i am dreading the next update and...

nmtake ,

Although I haven’t used Arch for a long time, I guess wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel#Compilation and wiki.archlinux.org/title/…/Arch_build_system will work.

nmtake ,

Can you try “pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect”?

nmtake ,

It’s not a silly question; I thought it doesn’t matter because PipeWire supports Pulseaudio.

nmtake ,

Did you enter the command line (especially load-module) correctly?

nmtake ,

“Pactl load-module” outputs “you have to specify a module name and arguments.”

As I said in earlier comment, please run “pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect” exactly. Note that Pactl and pactl are different commands and the former is invalid.

Is the command different for that?

As the name suggests, pactl is a command for PulseAudio. PipeWire supports application written for PulseAudio, including pactl. Try “man pipewire-pulse”to get further info.

nmtake ,

I’d try other (lightweight) distros for that case. Since your PC is old, it may not fulfil the latest Ubuntu’s system requirements.

nmtake ,

New kernel may introduce regressions. See this similar issue on kernel 6.10.3, or try another version of kernel on startup if it’s possible.

nmtake ,

Kernels are usually intalled in ‘/boot’, and we usually install new kernels via a package manager (gnome-software, pacman, dnf, etc.). What distro and package manager are you using?

nmtake ,

I see. Before the switching, you may want to try Linux on Windows using WSL2 or VirtualBox, etc. Also, Mint and other distros provide bootable image, so you can try it without installing Mint on your machine. Good luck!

nmtake ,

Yes. In a typical live USB session, all changes are written to the RAM, so they are lost on the shutdown. Some live USB supports persistent storage, but I think it’s not so common.

nmtake ,

Can you try true instead of True?

…freedesktop.org/…/value-types.html

Values of type boolean must either be the string true or false.

nmtake ,

Please note that many users of FOSS are also developers or contributors. Who wants to report a bug or send a patch if the community is worse?

  1. Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)

It seems to exist: www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/

nmtake ,

Long ago I made such restricted shell with filtering the shell command history file then disabling command history logging. With some shell scripting, I think you can get more sophisticated version. What shell are you using? (Bash, Fish, Zsh, etc.)

nmtake ,

Bash should be fine. On typical Bash installation I think this will work (please try to understand each command line before you actually try):


<span style="color:#323232;">$ cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ cp ~/.bash_history ~/.bash_history.bak
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ printf 'set +o history' >> ~/.bashrc
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ printf "sudo apt updatensudo apt upgraden" > .bash_history
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ (Press Ctrl+D to logout)
</span>

For the next bash session you can refer only the two commands from the history with Up/Down/C-p/C-n.

nmtake ,

I think git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/lswt may work.

nmtake ,

The repository has Makefile so you can build the executable with make:


<span style="color:#323232;">$ cd /tmp
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/lswt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ cd lswt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ make
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ ./lswt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ sudo make install (optional)
</span>

Is there a text editor/notes app that adds Unicode symbols?

For example, there is Material Notes which has a editor toolbar with bold, indented, stroke, etc. But this is rendered, exported to json or syntax like Markdown. This app too, in which i write this on lemmy, does the same. We have ☐, ☒, •, ‣ in Unicode, 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡, s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so...

nmtake ,

Some applications can’t display some Unicode strings like s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so replacing Markdown element like ~strike~ with Unicode equivalent (s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵ ) may not be a good idea if you want portability. I opened your post in text editors and noticed that neovim-qt drops s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵’s combining characters (issue on Github) and just displays stroke instead of s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵; GUI Emacs with my font settings (Noto) doesn’t combine the characters and displays s-t-r-o-k-e- (as I said, this may depends on font settings).

One of the reasons is it makes moderation (including soft moderation by users like downvotes or reports) harder. Users not familiar with Japanese can’t decide whether the post follows the rule and is on topic.

Rectangle for Linux?

To preface this, I’ve used Linux from the CLI for the better part of 15 years. I’m a software engineer and my personal projects are almost always something that runs in a Linux VM or a Docker container somewhere, but I’ve always used a Mac to work on personal and professional projects. I have a Windows desktop that I use...

nmtake ,

IIRC Xfce4 supports quad manual tiling like that.

nmtake ,

Thanks for the clarification. I switched from Xfce4 to GNOME many years ago because the former doesn’t support Wayland at that time, but I still miss the manual quarter tiling with the shortcut keys.

nmtake OP ,

Interesting. I didn’t know about Akkoma, Pleroma, and MRF. For a future reference,

Seppo: Personal Social Web (seppo.social)

#Seppo empowers you to publish short texts (and images yet to come) and to network in the Social Web. By renting commodity web space and dropping a single file. Without being subject to terms and conditions. Without having to fret about small print or tech lore. And without the need for an IT-consultant. But rather having a...

nmtake ,

I think you’re right. In CGI, web server spawns a process for each incoming request to the CGI app, so the author provide static files for visitors to reduce the overhead.

Edit: here is the repository: codeberg.org/seppo/seppo and written in OCaml, so the single file CGI app is a compiled binary.

Non-executable binary with invalid name

I found a binary file with a gibberish name in my home directory. Its content seems to be just hex zeroes when I open it in an online binary viewer. It doesn’t have execute permissions. It seems I accidentally ran spotify --uri= around the time the file was created (I could not replicate)....

nmtake ,

Have you checked the shell command history? (e.g, history | grep spotify)

nmtake ,

Most cases will be solved with these settings (but some applications may need additional tweeks):

  1. Use ja_JP.UTF-8locale, or
  2. Use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_configuration/Examples#Japanese

Mastodon's Founder & CEO Gives His Thoughts on Meta's Threads (blog.joinmastodon.org)

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I’m not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.

nmtake ,

Our software is built on the reasonable assumption that third party servers cannot be trusted. For example, we cache and reprocess images and videos for you to view, so that the originating server cannot get your IP address, browser name, or time of access.

I hope Lemmy also implements the image/media caching in the not so distant future. Currently, Lemmy Web UI sends a lot of HTTP requests to external servers like imgur. (Github Issue)
