After years of my desktop environment (kde) being configured the same way, I tried enabling auto-hiding in my panel and I quite like the extra screen estate....
I’m not sure if you can show/hide like that, but as a workaround you can toggle auto-hiding with a qdbus command, and set a keyboard shortcut to run that.
Creative use of search engines and possible lyrics have helped chip away at most of my list over the years. But two tough ones have been bouncing around my head since the early 90s.
One was a rap song I remembered from the radio with a really catchy hook. Then a few years ago during a birthday party the hook was suddenly just there blaring from the speakers, so I grabbed for my phone to search the audio. People yelled at me to put it away and keep dancing, but only I knew what was at stake! The song that was playing was Wilfredo Vargas - Abusadora, although clearly that’s not even remotely rap. But knowing that title, it wasn’t long before I found the song from my memory, which had sampled it. It turns out the original song is much better.
The second one was even more elusive, but it kind of nagged at me because even as a kid I had a sense of how massively popular this Spanish-language song was, so it felt like this one should be easy to find. But just a year or two ago I heard it blaring from the speakers while walking past a restaurant! Again with the audio search, I managed to identify it as Kaoma - Lambada and, whoops, my memory was wrong and it wasn’t even Spanish! But I was right about it being massively popular — plus the song has been widely covered, remixed and sampled (and even that popular version was itself a cover). Except none of this would have helped because the part of the song I thought was catchy was clearly not the iconic hook melody that everyone knows, so humming it for people never helped anyone get close to the answer.

When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I’d be confirmed of the...
For me, the logos would become closely associated with specific movies where I first saw them. So while these aren’t exactly scary movies, the iconic Columbia torch lady meant Ghostbusters, while the blue New Line Cinema box would get me pumped for some Ninja Turtles. And I vaguely remember being confused about why a Michael Keaton Batman movie would open with a Warner Bros. logo, since that meant Looney Tunes, and I didn’t understand how two things with such different vibes could come from the same company.
What is the best way to back up as much as possible of Debian 12 on my laptop to a server that has SSH available? I am currently backing up my users /home/ folder, but I would like to be able to nuke and restore the system from a backup....
Ignoring the whole debate about whether to include system files in your backup, rdiff-backup sounds a lot like what you want. It stores your latest backup as plain files on-disk just like rsync, checks the box for incremental backups (older versions of files are stored as diffs, which you can easily browse with rdiff-backup-fs) and isn’t much different to use than rsync. That said, people will point out that you can make rsync do pretty much the same stuff using hard linking.
Nothing special to see or hear in any of the following: their earlier stuff, their later stuff, tracks 2–12 on the same album, the 10,000 word essay in the liner notes, their followup single, etc.
