Are any cool wayland compositors out there? I know @thomasadam is trying, but aren't there like... 0 which are not more or less ports from X?

      @mms @justine Heh -- I can't confirm my sources are comprehensive. :)

      I'd forgotten about the awesome-* namespaces curated list of things. They're longer, but I think you run the risk of some projects being unmaintained?

      Anyhow, there's enough there to fill your boots. :)

        @mms Can you be more specific?

        There's a few:

        wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayla

        Many of those are self-contained compositors and WMs in one.

        I stil maintain my fork of Hikari as well:

        codeberg.org/thomasadam/hikari

        The list of WMs based on is growing:

        codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/br

        What are you after, feature-wise? Maybe that's a better way of asking your question?

            @mms Err... that's going to be very subjective. I know people go mad over `niri` as if scrolling desktops are new (they're not).

            Beyond that? I guess you'll tell me when you find something unique. :)

              @mms @thomasadam I'm the author of xuake: git.sr.ht/~phaedrus/Xuake

              It's a stacking compositor with a built-in drop down terminal and no GUI elements. The decorations are a 4 pixel bar on the top of a window that is just there to let you know which window is active. Everything is driven from keyboard short cuts or the terminal. It has a control utility and uses lua-5.4 for configuration and runtime programmability. It's still alpha, no one packages it. I'm using it on OpenBSD to write this.

                      Turns out, a little black pepper really brightens up a sweet oatmeal. Maybe a bit less than I used, but still!

                      I only found out because I put salt in my oatmeal to make up for needing to leave out butter, and I had the intrusive thought: "I'm already putting salt in. Both shakers are right there. What the heck? Let's try it."

                            @arichtman I was probably 8 years old when I decided to put a little Tropicana orange juice in my tomato soup to see if the combo worked.

                            So not only is today fully in-character for me, my instincts are getting better. OJ in tomato soup is incredibly bad.

                                          I'm a fifty-something forester, working in the North Highlands of Scotland (and further south, occasionally).
                                          I enjoy my work and count myself lucky to do it in amazing and remote places with fabulous scenery. I am less keen about the short winter days, midges, ticks and wet days spent outside in muddy and peaty conditions. It's all part of the job though...

                                            To enable simultaneous multithreading (SMT) on with the new hw.blockcpu sysctl remove the 'S', e.g.:

                                            # sysctl hw.blockcpu
                                            hw.blockcpu=SL

                                            # sysctl hw.blockcpu=L

                                            Keep the security implications in mind when enabling SMT.

                                                    My contract with EE is up in a few weeks and they just keep cranking up the price.
                                                    I need a bit of upload, a bit of download, not much else. We're not streaming 4K to eight devicees simulataneously or anything!

                                                    We've got fibre to the house, so we're fine on connectivity.

                                                    Price is a major consideration - otherwise I'd just stay with EE as switching is a hassle.

                                                    @[email protected] Depends what you're after. If you want the ability to talk to someone who isn't just following a call centre script, you'd want to go with one of the smaller players in the market.

                                                    But they aren't the cheapest. Expect to pay about £40/month for a 115Mbps Openreach FTTP connection (unlimited usage, 18 month contract, with IDNet). A&A are a similar price on a single month contract but 1TB per month allowance. Slightly larger, Zen Internet starts at £33/month for 100Mbps.

                                                    The smaller ISPs don't do in-contract price ratcheting like the big players do.

Major websites and folks like cloudflare have gotten really good at detecting them, and making your life miserable. I still use one on my phone 24/7, but not on my computers, most of the time. I think I tried Tor once, and it was much the same, yet more so. Almost unable to use the common web, and that was years ago. I can see how those things can help, and if someone is taking a hard-nosed stance on privacy (which I respect), they're probably essential tools, but I don't use them very much, nor do I find them particularly useful compared to just plain old HTTPS everywhere.

                                                                                                at one point we got "secure" boot and it was sometimes a bitch to install Linux.

                                                                                                iphone jailbreaking craze.

                                                                                                clipper chip,

                                                                                                        But the end result is a platform where every single device is almost entirely bespoke and locked down, and man that sucks. I do hope that changes. Stuff like the Fairphone are nice step in the right direction. I wish that the Pinephone had made more progress, but they really alienated their dev base, and that was avoidable.

But yes, you're right. And I'm loving how dirt-cheap 7-year-old thinkpads are basically supercomputers once you put a FOSS OS on them. :D

Once I was old enough to start going to the high school ministry, I started ditching church as soon as I was out of sight of my parents. I would usually go on walks and explore the area.

                                                                                                                            There was an overgrown area with heavy brush behind the church, and one time, my wanderings took me in there.

                                                                                                                            I ended up finding my way into a small dell and a clearing. In there was an unusual plant covered with translucent silver discs.

                                                                                                                            I had never seen a plant like that before.

                                                                                                                            Coming upon that plant hidden away like that is one of the few times I've ever had an experience that felt mystical.

                                                                                                                            (The plant is called lunaria annual, and it's related to broccoli.)

Wouldn't respond to the power button no screen nothing. Had to remove the battery for a few seconds and put it back in. Booted up fine then, I wonder if this is a sign for me to source a replacement ? Although I'm not decided on getting a Fairphone 5 that can run or or whether to get a pixel pro 9 and go with ? I'll probably end up procrastinating until my FP4 dies properly knowing me. 🙃

Yesterday at a concert, a person in front of me took a picture with a flash. And she clearly didn't mean to do so. She panicked to turn the light off. Later I saw she wasn't even that old, she was mid 20's

So the IMEI for the physical slot is released and made available for an additional ESIM?

This is a limitation in the modem as it needs to maintain the mobile signaling protocol with both active networks simultaneously.

Not so recent ones (4a, for example) could only do the latter.

Useful if your employer pays for a SIM for outside of Europe's data roaming (which most carriers still let the UK participate in).

The terminal itself is a pizzabox form factor, in a bracket allowing it stand vertically. There's an old Dell LCD monitor next to it, showing a ctwm environment with two xterm windows full of text, and xeyes in the middle of the screen, looking leftwards.

Lower frame you can see the sadly quite dirty HP-IL keyboard and mouse. This is all sitting on an MDF workbench near a bunch of unfinished electronics projects which are off frame.

For anyone who's following along. I've just merged support for pages in .

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  This is also accompanied with a pager.

And yes, if you pretend that I can only do something via your app because I’m on a mobile browser, of course I’ll switch to desktop mode.

Be careful which one you get though, sometimes they have the old micro-usb ones as an option in a listing that implies USB-C. Those ones are still good, but take an age to charge.

Believe me, I know the lack of details is annoying but rest assured, Tindie is not going anywhere. The site is not gone, and there really are some awesome changes in the works. As soon as I can reveal more, I will, you have my word on that.
