This is fantastic - I might see if I can get involved with these guys, here sthr home page for the group: https://edinburgh-linux-cafe.codeberg.page/

I’ve not really got much experience myself with either docker/podman, but I think you’re looking for podman’s [quadlets]?(https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/quadlet-podman)

This is looking like a really fantastic feature. Even with a remappable keyboard, there’s some limit to the number of layers and modifiers you can juggle without a GUI and this will be available across any/all keyboards used on the Plasma device.

Hey, hey you - you don’t owe an email anything. Just leave it unread.

Feeling inspired to go unsubscribe from a bunch of junk mail and clean up old mail? Go for it.

But you shouldn’t waste a second of your time feeling obligated to deal with emails sent largely by automated marketing campaigns.

At work I spend time to organize my inbox, its a necessity, on my personal email, I get security alerts & banking into separate folders, that’s about it, I don’t waste a moments thought on the unread count.

That’s great to see, with the cost of living crisis, just arguing green power is more ethical/better for the environment etc understandably doesn’t cut through - but making the focus the direct improvement of peoples local area and the above a nice side effect is a great way to get buy-in.

You can store an ssh key in Bitwarden or Keepass(XC) easily enough - Bitearden can certainly be configured as the actual source of your ssh keys with only a tiny bit of config effort

The trailing slash is just following cp’s own special treatment

# before
dir/
    file1
target/
    orig.txt



# no trailing slash - copy *dir* to target
cp -r /path/to/some/dir /my/target

# after
target/
    orig.txt
    dir/            # dir copied to target
        file1



# with trailing slash - copy *contents* of dir to target
cp -r /path/to/some/dir/ /my/target

# after
target/
    orig.txt
    file1            # contents of dir

I have lots (100s?) of pdfs for ttrpg rules collected over years - storing in folders is enough to separate by game, but fails when a single book is a mix of content - does it go in the adventure, character options or DM folder?

Having a nice UI with tags and searching would help to organise the collection a lot better.

Accessing all of that across any of my devices while the files actually live on my NAS would a be a big improvement - its easy for my laptop & tablet to get out of sync etc

This looks great - thanks for all your efforts! :)

I plan to setup a service to better wrangle all of my many ttrpg PDFs soon and this will definitely be in the mix.

Genuinely heart warming, made my morning.

Strong contender for article.of the year 2026.

For anyone else wondering F-Droid Shortcuts

I’d much rather keep my rc organised, so I just have a pair of aliases to quickly open it in an editor and another to reload.

alias cfge="$EDITOR ~/.bashrc"
alias cfgs="source ~/.bashrc"

I just use Nord, its dark, the colours are easy to distinguish and most importantly for myself just about anything I may care to theme already has a Nord theme so I don’t have to luck around too much - KDE, Gnome, Folder Icons, Mouse pointers, Terminals, NeoVim, Tmux, tons of command line tools…

I just had a mishap that resulted in a system booting unexpectedly whilst a stick of RAM wasnt seated properly. The stick is dead as a dodo.

It was a Corsair 16GB 3000MHz DDR4 and the price to replace it is slightly more than I paid for a pair of them last year.

Luckily its a bit surplus right now as my NAS rebuild is only 2666MHz max so I can replace it with 2 stick of cheaper used RAM for 2/3 the price of the one replacement.

Prices are nuts right now.

I’ve put down the cash for ECC for my main NAS, but can’t justify it for the offsite backup I’m putting together.

This is great news, I’ve never sat down and benchmarked the importing times (I believe theres a python -X switch or similar) but the more options the merrier!

Sounds fun, did you design from scratch or start from something existing?

In my infinite wisdom and attention to detail, I managed to mix up top/bottom sides of the RP2040 pro-micro controllers in my Sofle v2 kit.

After soldering up and connecting power, only 2/3 of the LEDs are lit, different spots on L/R boards. All LEDS are pretty evenly illuminated.

I’ve given everything a good inspection and can’t see any bad solder joints and theres no issue with the keys.

I’m wondering whether I’ve damaged the drivers on the controllers and need to replace them. Sigh.

For now, the LEDs remain off and I’m slowly working up my typing speed, quite fun with the layout tinkering too.

LIDL are owned by a huge German wholesaler who are already dealing in large quantities, their middle aisle products are bought in huge volumes because they have such a laegr foot print of stores, unlike your average hardware shops where you’d otherwise be buying your drill, hedgehog hotel and speciality Greek produce.

Signal is my only instant messenger and I can happily report no issues these days with notifications, that said, I never really noticed them previously and have been using for >3 years.

Occasionally we’ll use Signal whilst on a live call, someone will tell us they messaged on Signal and I’ll get the notification immediately - i.e. I knew when it was sent and received.

This is working smoothly on my grapheneos phone and the desktop client across Linux and Windows.

You’ve opened a rabbit hole I know I’m just going to fall down… thanks netizen!
