Base os install ad a template in your hypervisor. Ansible playbook with a task to spin up the VM, another task to setup network and required packages. Then other playbooks for the software/services setup.

Arch users are so weird.

docktordreh, in Applications to reduce mouse usage

I use tridactyl in firefox. Except for emacs and tiling wms I’m not too deep in applications for reducing mouse usage, I tend to use keyboards with ‘better mouse placement’ for example the tex shura which copies the thinkpad trackpoint, or a corne keyboard with a pimoroni trackball. Or a charybdis nano. Even using a smaller keyboard layout counts imo, my favourite non-ergo keyboard layout is 60% which reduces necessary arm-travel-distance a lot :)

t_378, in find, grep, sed, and awk

What software did you use to put the slide deck together? It seems to work so nicely when placed on a webpage, too…

westyvw,

I don’t know what OP used, but it could be any one of the Markdown presentation tools.

I like reveal.js

Your presentation can go in git, looks good anywhere, and easily shared. It’s just html rendered.

Their gitlab seems to be down, can’t follow any of the links

finestnothing, in Applications to reduce mouse usage

Go full emacs and use eww to browse the web within emacs. Bonus points that it lives in an emacs buffer so you can switch/split between buffers easily

jennraeross, in Applications to reduce mouse usage

To add to what others have recommended:

  • mpv works very well from the cli and can do both video and music
  • zathura is great for pdfs
  • aria2 for torrents
  • epy for reading ebooks
mosthated, in How to keep all email locally in a useful format that can be searched across devices?
@mosthated@feddit.nl avatar

Look into isync / mbsync in combination with maildir utils (mu/mu4e) or notmuch.

Thanks I am looking at these. Do you think maildir format is the best to try to work with? When I was researching I find there are other formats such as mbox, or more program-specific formats. I was not having an easy time discerning which is the most portable, robust format.

mosthated,
@mosthated@feddit.nl avatar

I havent looked into these other formats because maildir works for me. I can saxe local backups, remoxe mail from the serveg, and even put it back later. All plain text.

If you put your maildir on a (disk attached to a) raspberry pi, install mutt, and make that pi accessible by ssh you always have access to your mail.

zzzzzz,

Does mutt have search capabilities? Is it optimized such that it would be effective with large mailboxes? Thanks!

marty_relaxes,

Mutt (and neomutt) has very nice search capabilities, supporting regex search within specific mailboxes. However, it is a relatively slow search - unbearably slow for full text search in large mailboxes.

Here, notmuch is usually used to complement mutt. It’s a very fast (full-text) mail indexer, which can be directly integrated in mutt and allows much faster searching (among other things such as advanced mail tagging, virtual mailboxes and more).

It is generally a royal pain to set up with so many moving parts but once you do it is a very fast, comfortable mail environment if you’re comfy with the terminal.

zzzzzz,

Thanks for this! I’m going to try to get this set up. It sounds perfect.

bitwolf, in gamescope through the heroic launcher is WAY better than steam

Playing through games opens great on my desktop but I lose the steam overlay so I just use Wayland proper.

Nibodhika, in Need some help with a Kali linux

You need to run sudo apt update before trying to install things. Notice that you’ll need to do this every time unless you installed Kali with some permanent storage. Which is why it’s usually a better idea to just use your day-to-day Linux box for stuff, Kali is for when you want to not leave traces and not allow any backtrack to get to your actual system, for most non red team related stuff you don’t need Kali.

Feyter, in Metal music with Linux?

Really? last time I checked Windows was the dominant player in professional music production but I guess trends can change very quickly.

So there is no real reason preventing Linux to become the domint system at any time.

last time I checked Windows was the dominant player

Huh? I am confused now. Has the cycle come back around again because in the late 90s/early 2000s last I checked when I was into this stuff, Apple was king with Pro Tools. It's been a while, I used to mess around with FL Studio 20 years ago.

JGrffn,

Huh, last I checked, the professional standard was Mac, at least for recording instruments. From what I vaguely recall, Windows has a latency issue due to how they handle audio stream inputs. I went through these woes myself once while using my guitar & Amp through my computer to practice with headphones on and having the music playing on top. The latency just doesn’t allow you to concentrate on what you’re playing, it completely distracts you. You can get it lower by doing something, I don’t remember what, but that solution ends up introducing random new bugs such as certain audio streams suddenly not playing at all for a while before fixing themselves, and it still doesn’t quite get latency low enough to not notice it.

Feyter,

Maybe it depends on who you ask or where you are. Maybe a US vs EU thing? I never was a professional Musician, but when I started reading about creating/composing music for Video Games I learned that many professional Studios run on Windows because of proprietary standards and software. that is not available for Apple (and Linux)

JackGreenEarth, in Metal music with Linux?

I use the web based DAW Bandlab

yote_zip, (edited ) in Need some help with a Kali linux
@yote_zip@pawb.social avatar

I haven’t used Kali Linux before, but hcxtools is available in the Debian repos so presumably your /etc/apt/sources.list is invalid (probably the LiveUSB has disabled non-iso sources). Can you post what is in that file?

Edit: Actually it looks like Kali uses a single line for its repo. Can you add

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

to your /etc/apt/sources.list, run an apt update and try again?

bjoern_tantau, in Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Maybe you didn’t add the connection as a system connection this time.

TxTechnician,

I don’t know what that means. Mind explaining?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

In the Networkmanager you can set that a connection is either available to all users or just yourself. If you set it to “all users” its configuration will be saved somewhere in /etc/Networkmanager (I’m too lazy to look up the real path) and will therefore be available for Networkmanager on boot. If you just make it available for yourself Networkmanager will only attempt to connect after you log in.

I think the default is to make it only available to yourself, because then you don’t have to enter your sudo password when you set it up or want to change something. The downside is of course what you describe in your post.

TxTechnician,

Perfect, thank you!
