I have tried on my laptop. Seems all great, but I reverted back to . I prefer the simplicity of GNOME. Yes, you can keep Plasma simple as well, but I am too tempted to tinker with all the possibilities there. Looking forward to try out deskop one day, though. But GNOME has been my daily driver (on my personal laptop) for more than ten years and I keep it pretty much in its vanilla config. Most of my work is done in the terminal anyway.

@ferki i used to use xmonad as well, as well as other tiling and non tilign WMs, but then i found myself in the rabbit hole to configure all of them all the time. i came to the conclusion that i only need to configure my tmux and optimize my tmux workflows (e.g. fzf integration, ...), because it is the common ground I have (personal Linux laptop, work macBook and also available on all the remote servers where i SSH), so the DE or WM is only secondary :-)

@ferki do you have a large monitor? i found that the tiling window managers don't work well with them. i end up with too much screen real estate and the windows placed at odd positions. (32" screen)

or maybe i should just use a smaller monitor.

maybe there is a reasonable config i could use.

If you’re designing a programming language, please consider allowing hyphens in identifiers. Hyphen-separated text (kebab-case) is more readable than camelCase, and doesn’t require use of the shift key like camelCase and snake_case. There’s no ambiguity with subtraction if you require spaces around binary operators (which every style guide I’ve ever used requires anyway).

@kate supports it!

How have TV UI's still not figured things out. Trying to navigate any current system is a bit of a nightmare, search is horrific. There are already great keyboards that work on TV's, like Samsung's, why do they all use a standard QWERTY that's a pain to click around? Voice is not an answer.

A rule of thumb for the web is everything should be accessible using 3 or fewer clicks. Seems to have been thrown out the window for TV's.

@tripplehelix in recently had to buy a new TV for my parents in law. They can't use it as its too difficult for them. Basically there's now a 2year TV subscription and the TV is only on when we are there for a visit.... And can't simply buy a dumb TV as the subscription works only via the internet and an app on the TV...

@snonux@fosstodon.org avatar

@tripplehelix subscription for an internet and TV and telephone bundle. At least the telephone and the internet are useful, as my father in law can actually use an android tablet for YouTube and news! But the TV app is pretty complicated to use

Yes, a monitor as a TV replacement is in some specs overkill and in others lacking

I wasn't aware until now, that jq is actually a full blown functional programming language. Originally it was inspired by Haskell and the very first version(s) of jq were actually implemented in Haskell. Only later jq got ported over to C. To have an idea how powerfull the jq language is, there is also a jq implementation purely written in jq: https://github.com/wader/jqjq #jq #json

Made a decision.
For the longest time I've always had too many distros that I tried to run and support.
I need to fokus on something in the end... and not drift around all the time.
So, it is - only
I use all day / every day.
It does not make sense for me to run any other distro.

On the side I will focus on - that's it.

The many distros / derivatives have learned me a lot over the years... and I'm very thankful for that. But, less is more.

snonux,
@snonux@fosstodon.org avatar

@jhx I personally use what makes sense most for the project at hand. But it makes sense to fallback to your default distro if there's no clear "winner". At the end all (or most) of the tools run on any Linux or BSD distro :-)

I created my first mobile app in using . It's a very simple app for logging small ideas and to do tasks on my Android phone into simple text files. These are synced w/ to my Laptop. From there, a glue script adds them to my DB. I know, weird workflow. But I wanted to highlight how easy it is to build cross-platform mobile apps in Go now. Dont have to use the Android SDK.

I got tired of using my Notes app for shopping. I wanted to be able to sort items by name, or purchase frequency, and not add duplicate items. That would make it much easier for me to do my shopping.

I created an iPhone app to do this in about two hours. Note that I said "Created" and not "Wrote." I used . I don't know programming, nor do I know the programming language. I'll write more about this later.

You can judge the code for yourself: https://github.com/Ovid/chatgpt-shopping

https://radicale.org is a great solution for those who seek a minimalist contact and calendar sync server. I just deployed it and works great with Android and ! (One by one, getting rid of my bloated Nextcloud server, and moving off to smaller micro services!)

In also built a docker image for self hosting purposes, see https://codeberg.org/snonux/docker-radicale-server

Hey , any recommendations about a self-hostable open source photo sync solution with Android App support?

I am currently using NextCloud, but am curious to try out alternatives. NextCloud does many things and appears a bit of a bloat for the reason(s) I am using it.

Maybe just set up a server? Or ? Or plain rsync in ?

Main goal is to have backups of the photos taken automatically. Doesn't require a fancy UI.

The new monitor is awesome! 😎

Going directly to 4k ultrawide (32") curved is a game changer for me.

Working on a new level so to speak 🙂

and sure make the whole thing even better with :kdenew:

@jhx I got a 32" non-curved screen as I then can also use it as a "TV" screen for videos from the couch! But yes, 32" is another level...

Is it just me having problems syncing my pictures from my Android phone to and having to daily restart the docket containers? Next time, will have a look at the docker logs. I am also flirting with , as it seems to be a more advanced and also less bloaty solution to sync my files.
