19, blind and very technology oriented. I'm also into rock/metal, although not the more extreme ones such as thrash and death metal. I program a bit here and there as well and run Linux as my daily driver occasionally using virtual machines for the stuff Linux can't quite do yet or for applications that aren't available that don't have decent alternatives.

anybody have a clue why all my tt accouts are getting admin rights even though I have default user set?

destructatron,

@evilcookies98 Are you sure the default user radio button is actually being selected? Also what server version and client version are you running? It could be that if the client and server are too different in version, it could be sending the wrong data. The TT spec isn't an open standard, so the developer can do pretty much what he wants.

destructatron,

@evilcookies98 If you have the telnet windows feature enabled, you can type telnet address port into cmd, and you can get the server version that way. If you don't have it I can check for you if I know the address and port.

Is anyone free to help the developer of sway notification center out? I have opened an issue about sway notification center's accessibility regressions in the notification list, and I have also suggested that when the notification appears, the accessible event is fired. The dev doesn't know how to do this however, so any input or PR's that mention this issue would be greatly appreciated! https://github.com/ErikReider/SwayNotificationCenter/issues/404
If we get this sorted, we will have a fully accessible notification daemon for all wlroots based compositors, which will soon include XFCE. This could be the Wayland equivalent of notification-daemon for X11, but even better if the GTK notification centre list can be fixed up too. #Linux #accessibility #a11y

holy cow! my laptop has been up and running for 35 days, and 14 hours! just wow! although I don't use it for much except for reading HP fan fics, using tweesecake, sometimes listening to music, and streaming stuff to a tv, but still!

destructatron,

@fireborn @munchkinbear @simon @LeonianUniverse @JamminJerry I have started doing this recently. If you use systemd-boot, you can run systemctl kexec and it does all the things for you.

destructatron,

@fireborn @munchkinbear @simon @LeonianUniverse @JamminJerry So your system just reboots randomly after an update? Unless there are parameters to kexec that I don't know about and would do a full live reload without fully restarting userspace.

destructatron,

@fireborn @munchkinbear @simon @LeonianUniverse @JamminJerry My desktop takes its sweet time to get to the bootloader, but only if Grub is the loader. Systemd-boot is nice and snappy.

destructatron,

@fireborn @munchkinbear @simon @LeonianUniverse @JamminJerry There isn't a hook in the AUR or main repos that automates efistub yet?

OK people, I want you to read this and absorb it. Trust is literally the most important thing ever. If you damage it, I’m going to lose any and all respect I had for you. I have cut people out of my life because I couldn’t trust them anymore. I replaced every piece of technology I own because I couldn’t trust the makers of the old stuff anymore. If you think I will sit by and let anyone, individual, business, what have you, destroy trust and not say something about it, wrong.

destructatron,

@evilcookies98 I only see it getting worse from here. Corporations will do the corporation thing and get their money in what ever way they can, you only have to look at Apple's malicious compliance with EU regulations recently to see it. One of the reasons why I'm not on Windows or Mac is because the developers of said operating systems can do what they want with it, especially Microsoft. I don't want your copilot crap on my system, thank you very much. As much as I would like to move over to something like Android, right now I use iMessage far too often and I have stuff on the iTunes store that, last I checked aren't easily moving over to Android. I think the accessibility is good enough if you use CSR, but Apple's walled garden is currently proving quite successful and I don't like it.

destructatron,

@evilcookies98 It's mainly the audio books. I have an insane amount of doctor who stuff that I bought over the years and would very much like to keep.

What client are people using for these days? Something that can play .ogg would be perfect. I am really going to give this OS a try.

destructatron,

@spaciath Mudlet might be able to. I use tintin, but I've only seen .wav files being supported. I am very, very tempted to try creating my own mud client in dart and flutter since I'm getting the hang of sockets and streams and all that good stuff, and if I did it would have ogg file support, along with the ability to script sounds and ambiences at the very least.

destructatron,

@storm @spaciath I've heard horror stories about how hard it is to make a soundpack because you have to use regular expressions, all the time. A dart CLI mud client, hmm. Could definitely do that and make sound support actually nice to work with. I don't necessarily have to do GUI.

destructatron,

@fireborn @spaciath @storm Not everyone knows how regular expressions work, I sure don't. I take one look at one of those and instantly get confused, plus there's also the kinds of regular expressions that are supported. Take the core utils on Linux for example, some support BRE, some support ERE, and some support both and you don't know what the default setting is until one of your expressions silently doesn't work.

After Windows 11 has reset itself once again, I have finally invested in a backup solution. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You won't fool me again with promises of a more stable experience.

destructatron,

@fireborn Yeah, you have to flat review click stuff but it works. I can send you a link to my config if you'd like to see how I've done things. Plasma 6 on the unstable channel with home-manager as a nix module, autologin, and an encrypted LVM setup.

destructatron,

@fireborn Home manager is just declarative management of dotfiles. For i3, just set services.xserver.windowManager.i3.enable = true; and then set your defaultSession to none+i3. This also works in some very cool ways, where you can start a DE and put +wmname at the end to start a desktop using another window manager. Here's my config: https://destructatron.net/configuration-current.nix

destructatron,

@fireborn I personally don't, but the option is there. I know someone who used XFCE with i3 this way, and set up all his binds in i3.

destructatron,

@fireborn if you see things like services.ollama.enable = true; this will both install the ollama package and enable the service. Putting ollama in environment.systemPackages wouldn't be enough to make systemd see it. Applications that can be customized such as Hyprland, zsh etc have a nix OS module rather than just wacking the package in the global package list.

destructatron,

@fireborn They're edited from configuration.nix itself. If a package doesn't have the config option you want as an option in the module, there is usually an extraConfig option that lets you specify multi-line input of config lines that would be added to the file. You can separate your config into multiple files, which might make it nicer to keep organised if you decide to configure a program extensively using this method. The /etc folder is actually immutable, and so is the nix store. Only the nix daemon can change those directories.

destructatron,

@fireborn I copy stuff from /run/current-system/sw/share/speech-dispatcher to ~/.config and edit the config there, since there isn't a module yet. There's an open issue on the nixpkgs repo about creating one though. I see that sgtk-menu and ocrdesktop aren't in the nixpkgs repo. The easiest way if you don't want to make derivations for them, is to spin up an arch distrobox and install ocrdesktop. You will want sgtk-menu in the installed system though, otherwise you won't be able to access nix installed things. As far as I remember sgtk-menu is python, and there's a tun of examples of python packages in the nixpkgs repo that just use setuptools and call it a day. You'd just have to change a few lines here and there and it would most likely work, assuming sgtk-menu can use setup.py. if so then writing a derivation for it is a breeze.

destructatron,

@fireborn that's what I did, put it on a testing laptop at first then just went for it. Orca takes some getting going in the gnome iso, you have to type orca into the alt f2 dialog a few times before it starts. This only seems to happen on the iso, once it's installed it'll start up just fine. GDM doesn't have a working audio configuration, but lightdm does. I opened an issue about it.

destructatron,

@fireborn services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.greeters.slick.enable = true; is what I've had a lot of success with. That installs the slick greeter and adds it into your lightdm configuration as the default. A super alt S and you're all set.

destructatron,

@fireborn lightdm and some Wayland sessions don't like each other. My method of autologin automatically masks the display manager service anyway. If I'm not using autologin and I use SDDM, I can just type my password and press enter to log into what ever defaultSession is set to.

destructatron,

@fireborn Yup, it does. So I tend to use autologin if I have an encrypted LVM setup.

destructatron,

@fireborn There is also search.nixos.org to search for packages and Nix OS options and it's saved me many times from trying to find an option and how it works somewhere else.

destructatron,

@fireborn More things break on Arch, and at the worst times though. With Nix you have generations. Every time you build your config, a new generation gets created, this includes updates. Something breaks, you go back a generation and go on like nothing happened until the package gets fixed. Nix on a server though, is an absolute godsend. I've never found it so easy to configure web servers, reverse proxies, etc except with this.

destructatron,

@fireborn Mostly distrobox solves that except for the sgtk menu case. Have you looked into nwg-launchers? You can use nwggrid for a gnome-like search, and it's packaged already. You also have nwg-bar for your log out, reboot, shutdown and reboot buttons, which is also packaged already.
