System-wide, user installed icon themes are stored in /usr/local/share/icons, themes are in /usr/local/share/themes. Where should I put cursors if I want them available system-wide?

Putting them in /usr/local/share/icons/ doesn't seem to work.

@tripplehelix
Place it in /use/share/icons for system wide cursor themes if I'm not mistaken.... Arch wiki probably has the answer 😊

@tripplehelix I know its probably not the TRUE BLESSED way of doing it... But just take a look at the home directory and how no damn developer respects the XDG desktop spec and plows their dotfiles and .dirs wherever they want... If only there was a place, like a .config where you could place the cruft 😂

Never thought about it before, but I can set up motion capture from my cameras through . Especially with my motion sensor in the back. Takes the load off the Pi's if I was to do it on the cameras.

@noflcl@mastodon.social avatar

@tripplehelix
Had a similar thought with my old pi3 and cam kicking around.
Use local motion sensor data to trigger the camera and move that logic onto the server backend turning the pi into a dumb input feed that can be triggered as you see fit instead of "always on" recording.

Maybe I can get some footage of all the deer who keep insisting my grass and garden are the best place to eat at night 😒

Yeeeeah we have a neighborhood cat that loves to tease my dogs and all the dogs which is glorious at 2-3am.
Thought about this motion sensor / camera combo to trigger a smart valve for my sprinkler to train the cat "I get wet when I get too close to this house" 😅😻

Set my dad up with a Pi for flight tracking over easter, and besides the device falling off the network a couple times and forcing a reboot... Been pretty solid and he is loving premium flight trackers for no additional cost!

@nixCraft Almost exclusive Linux user on desktop, lab servers, and cloud.
Literally built a "console" this long weekend and struggled for two days 4 distros to get Steam to launch 2 specific games. I just wanted a set and forget console, boot to steam, I don't need to be home for the family to play a game. Failed ❌

Back to Win 10 Pro_x64, auto login, added Steam as the desktop Shell. 95% everything plays on Linux. I have so much tech to maintain daily my game console doesn't need to be one.

Been a hot minute! I recently got into self-hosting and now I need to self host all the things!

Nextcloud on my home server was an absolute nightmare to set up, but at least it's incredibly slow 😅

Between a $6 VPS and my home machine, I've eliminated $100+/month in subscriptions.

@chrisarter
What was your route of install for nextcloud?

I've got it tossed on a very modest rig and get pretty solid performance. Well enough to be editing a doc, loading pictures up through sync, and hit my partner up for a video call over Talk... While still running other services locally.

If anyone has a current solution?
Tailscale on android is almost unusable...?

Private DNS deactivated, rebooted phone, cleared OS cache's, if on mobile data OR WiFi, I have ZERO DNS resolution. Only MagicDNS on tailnet. So If it aint on my tailnet I have no "internet access" :(

Followed every github issue recommendation still can't resolve a public DNS entry to save my life. I WONT TURN OFF MAGIC DNS it makes life worth living haha

Day 3 of attempting to daily drive postmarketOS Linux on a OnePlus 6T:

I had my first crash! I wanted to unlock the phone while waiting for some coffee to finish brewing, and after a few seconds of black screen I got this.

After a hard reset it booted up fine again.

noflcl,
@noflcl@mastodon.social avatar

@fell Nice! I'm thinking about going PinePhone and ditching android once and for all.
Already testing VoIP solutions, and considering mobile hotspot over a cell plan. 5 gig mobile hotspots run $20/m (I'd love that to be my cell bill). I'm just over custom flashing images and androids notification system, it is driving me wild.

Runny postmarketOS have you found any really hard edges that makes daily driving hard?

noflcl,
@noflcl@mastodon.social avatar

@fell Yes, maps have been one area I've been inspecting. Found a great YouTube video with a guys exploring all postmarketOS map options.

I do live in a large unfamiliar city... Sounds hilarious since I literally gave my father the gears over the holiday seasons for traveling with a Garmin GPS even though he has an iPhone 14 pro 😅. . But maybe an old school GPS unit for the car would be my solution.

jhx, to homelab
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

A little in a struggle currently....
I want to also setup a Hypervisor for my #homelab
Got a #OptiPlex here with a i7 6700 and 32GB of RAM (Micro form factor).

Maybe I'm overthinking here a lot... but I try to hold down the electricity cost as much as possible.

At the moment the #homelab is at roughly ~35W

Would you guys/gals add a machine or would you rather not?
Any feedback is welcome 🙂

noflcl,
@noflcl@mastodon.social avatar

@jhx "At the moment the homelab is at roughly ~35W" is pretty low draw already. A server pulling 50W 24/7 365 @ 13¢ kWh runs about $56 year.
Arguably adding a few VMs or containers probably wont add a ton of draw.
I like to add power monitoring smart plugs in-line so I can draw a pretty nice power graph with Home Assistant.

noflcl,
@noflcl@mastodon.social avatar

@jhx So it is literally cheaper run a VPS homelab than an in house homelab haha. That price is out of control!
