I can't seem to get dual monitor working properly on X12

Basically what happens is my monitors are positioned incorrectly. So the monitor that should be to the right is to the left and vice versa. This makes using my setup quite difficult, since I have to move the mouse to the left to get to the monitor that's physically on my right side. Can someone show me an example configuration...

naeap,

you got also give arandr a try, as it is a GUI to xrandr and you can move your virtual monitors around a bit, until it matches the physical locations/orientations

nix vs native package manager on other distros.

i use arch (btw), and i hate how much i depend on the AUR, its very unstable. I switched to flatpak for my gui programs since the cli experience sucks. nix on the other hand works like a native package manager, and thats great for me. but i see that nix also includes stuff like coreutils (because of nixos im guessing). do i...

naeap,

when you say fully isolated from the Arch libs on the system, means I have all dependencies of the installed programs doubled on my system - only if needed of course. so they can't share the same liberates already provided by the Arch/base system?

naeap,

yeah, but then you need someone on the outside to open 18 (!) bolts, before you can exit. no way to open from the inside. so you'll probably suffocate anyway.

how this design got through...

naeap,

did the temptation win? ;⁠-⁠)

if you start a fork, I guess currently there are quite some people to contribute/join the effort

I'm holding myself back a bit, because daily work doesn't leave me with much free time at the moment - with not much change in the near future...

How has ur lemmy experience been so far?

Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...

naeap,

you can search for communities on Jerboa (in the bottom bar, click the thing, that kinda looks like a hamburger menu)
I'm not sure if any other search is done as well, but it seems to be only communities

in the web frontend you can search for users, comments, communities,...
for lemmy.ml as example it would be this URL: https://lemmy.ml/search

naeap,

I'm currently on !cats
that was the nearest thing to cat stuff, I've found

naeap,

you seem knowledgeable, can you also help me with that?
I saw some links to communities in other instances (bewhaw). how can I access/integrate them? I don't find them with Jerboa on my server (lemmy.ml).
I also tried it in the browser and didn't see, how this could be done.

naeap,

ah, thanks!!

naeap,

I just tried to search for https://beehaw.org/c/programming by !programming but neither in app nor lemmy.ml it showed up.
but I have to say, that I still need to read the referred docs, so maybe I got something wrong.

naeap,

yeah, the typo was unlucky ;⁠-⁠)
but I tried the search several times with double checks - do got it right at least some times... ;⁠-⁠)

thanks for trying as well with the same result - and keeping me sane!

naeap,

thanks, will try!

naeap,

three idea was more, how the single instances can finance themselves. network traffic and storage need to be paid somehow.

I'm not sure how the federated system works exactly and how much a small instance would need to mirror or pipe through, when the users subscribe to large communities on another instance.

so I was wondering, how instances with a small user base can keep up financially - bigger ones can probably live of donations. If a small instance doesn't need much space or traffic, because subscriptions on remote instances are directly handled on the remote instance, than this is probably no problem.

I'm thinking of setting up my own small server and am not sure what exactly to expect...

naeap,

thanks for the input!

I just haven't figured out, what happens if users on my small instance would join larger communities in other instances. does the small instance needs to mirror or route the traffic to the other instance, or is this only done through links and on the small instance is really only the stuff local users generated?

naeap,

thanks, but sorry, that wasn't the question.
I'm perfectly aware of the user end principle, but I'm not so sure about the technical backend.

where is the data of remote instances stored?
if this is synced to the local instance, than small servers would need to mirror remote content.

but I guess, I'll check the ActivityPub and Lemmy Doc/Code

anders, to lemmy

Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

naeap,

it's absolutely awesome here! :⁠-⁠D
I feel like being part of the internet of my youth again.
