NFS mount disappearing
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 23h ago 100%

    Never seen this before, but you can enable NFS debugging with ‘rpcdebug -m nfs -s all’ (or nfsd on the server, or rpc for the underlying protocol). It prints to dmesg.

    That's a killer feature. Sucks that it got removed.

    IIRC Keepass2Android does have that feature.

    Polylux, with a custom theme. Tbh, I wasn't aware there were others until now!

    Does that make an SBC a fancy tablet?

    This is a great project. The way it handles mixing markup and code is on point. Also, for drawing its CeTZ is so much nicer than TiKZ, the LaTeX equivalent. I made some great graphics with it for a seminar presentation and paper that I couldn’t have done anywhere near as easily with LaTeX. (The presentation slides I made entirely with Typst, the paper had a LaTeX template that I didn’t feel like remaking because it was huge so I just embedded the graphics I made with Typst)

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 4d ago 100%

    Other Chromium browser vendors have claimed that they will continue to support MV2 based content blockers, later revealing that they were unwilling to support the code once Google removed it.

    Xitter doesn't load for me but this is quoting Brave so I'm not so sure about that

    (edit: Though I think Brave has a builtin adblocker so you may not even need it. However, just don't use Chromium anything at all)

    What about just wire transfer? Everything goes through your bank anyway. That’s what I’ve replaced PayPal with a while ago.

  • VS Code vs VS Codium: What's the Difference?
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 6d ago 100%

    I’ve been trying VS Codium out for Rust/C++ development after avoiding it for years. (Used to use CLion until it for some reason stopped scaling consistently a couple days ago after I reinstalled my PC.)

    So far it’s pretty good, except that run configurations seem extremely half baked and inconsistent between the two languages (or rather between build systems, at least for CMake, which doesn’t use the built in one at all; maybe specifically because it is half baked).

    Okay, I edited it to quote the full sentence. You also don’t need those either, though.

  • Custom domain email sometimes marked as invalid?
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 6d ago 100%

    Unfortunately, the latter means having to maintain multiple email accounts, or forwarding services like Addy.io, SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, or DuckDuckGo Email.

    It doesn't, you can hook multiple domains up to deliver mail to the same mail server. I have three domains pointing to a single server myself.

  • The War on Passwords Is One Step Closer to Being Over
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 7d ago 85%

    I'm not convinced this is a good idea. Resident keys as the primary mechanism were already a big mistake, syncing keys between devices was questionable at best (the original concept, which hardware keys still have, is the key can never be extracted), and now you've got this. One of the great parts about security keys (the original ones!) is that you authenticate devices instead of having a single secret shared between every device. This just seems like going further away from that in trying to engineer themselves out of the corner they got themselves into with bullshit decisions.

    Let me link this post again (written by the Kanidm developer). Passkeys: A Shattered Dream. I think it still holds up.

  • Is it possible to be comfortable with two desktop OSs (e.g. shortcuts, mouse)
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 7d ago 100%

    I changed all the KDE shortcuts to be like on Mac (because I like those more). I have a keyboard with Mac layout for my Linux PC and have swapped meta and ctrl via the keyboard settings (i.e. you press ⌘C but software receives ctrl+c), because a lot of non-KDE apps are way worse about remapping shortcuts so if they really want ctrl I at least want it to be on the ⌘ key, and also because the meta key behaves weirdly at least in Qt, for example it doesn’t block text input when held down unlike ctrl.

    These are the big annoyances with this that do trip me up:

    • Terminal (since I’ve switched ⌘ and ⌃, the standard shell keys such as ⌃C are now ⌘C instead because that is unremappable in Konsole, and I’ve had to put copy/paste/etc. on ⌃C etc. instead)
    • Text navigation in Firefox — while I remapped the bindings for KDE/Qt, it’s impossible to do that in Firefox which means ⌥◀︎ is “navigate back” instead of “move caret back one word”. This is the most awful because it keeps making me reload pages when I’m editing text and don’t pay attention
    • Text navigation in KDE/Qt apps — it’s so close to good but I can’t remap the “extend selection word left/right” keys from ⇧⌘◀︎/▶︎ to ⇧⌥◀︎/▶︎ to be like the “move caret” keys (⌥◀︎/▶︎). Same for the select to start/end of line keys.

  • What GitHub alternative do you use?
  • 2xsaiko 2xsaiko 1w ago 85%

    sourcehut. I like how it’s structured, where issue trackers, repos, and so on are independent of each other but can be grouped using a project, and you can have as many of each as you want or none at all. You should be able to have a huge monorepo with many issue trackers, or a single issue tracker for a project split across many repos if you want. GitHub doesn’t really allow you to do either, certainly not the former, and same with most of the alternatives. Everything else seems to clone GitHub’s workflow for contributions as well which I can’t stand (sourcehut uses git send-email as the primary contribution method — but there is also a GitHub style PR button —, which apart from the email jank I find much better because once it’s set up you can just send changes to any project with just a local clone; it also means you don’t even have to be registered on sourcehut to send changes to a project hosted there).

    I also self-host cgit I suppose but that’s not really a GitHub alternative.

  • I wanted something like GIMP for iOS with which I can stitch together/overlay/crop images, add text, blank out parts, draw on the image, and so on. Nothing in the app store looked appealing, most of what I could find seems to be geared towards photo post processing, so I had the idea of trying Freeform for this, because well, it lets you place various objects on a canvas. And it works pretty well! Create a new board with the image inside, set it to no rounded corners and no shadow, and then do whatever you want to it with Freeform’s tools. Then, when you’re done, select Export to PDF and convert it to an image. You can use this share sheet shortcut which I made which makes an image out of it and also cuts away the white frame it generates around the PDF: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fa5e2386588742b2a1f5d41401f2238e There you go, straight forward basic image editing with a free stock app. It unfortunately doesn’t preserve the original resolution of the image but it’s definitely good enough for me.

    I'm looking for something like GitHub's user activity indicator that gathers information from a list of git repositories regardless of where they are hosted (as long as they are public), that I can put on my webpage, kind of as a thing to show what I'm working on at the moment. Is this a thing that already exists? I'd started writing one a while ago but instead of reviving that it would be great if there's something that already exists and I can just use :\^)

    According to [this Phoronix article](https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.18-NFSD), Linux should support the birth time attribute in the NFS server since 5.18. However, it doesn't show up in the stat output when looking at the file through the NFS mount, or elsewhere (at least, the Dolphin file browser and also a macOS client): ``` % stat file File: file Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file Device: 0,70 Inode: 103416894 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ saiko) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Modify: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Change: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Birth: - ``` What gives? Running stat on the server directly, it shows the attribute. The backing file system is ext4, kernel 6.5.12. The client is using kernel 6.1.63.
