Strit, 9 months ago to linux in What is the state of Multiseat in Linux today?

While Linux TTY is multiseat by default, each TTY is a seperate user login, I’m not sure any of the GUI’s support this function.

Strit, 7 months ago to linux in GNOME and AppIndicator/system tray

It’s part of the “focus” workflow. Having app indicators might distract you from your current task, so they don’t want them.

Strit, 8 months ago to selfhosted in In search for free domain I got one but some questions

1. I would assume you’d need to keep updating the DNS record to match the IP you have.
2. I’m not. Nothing like that is completely free. I wonder how they pay for the DNS…

Maybe some foam under the case could elliminate some of those vibrations. Like pieces of a yoga mat or similar mats.

I didn’t know NixOS had official aarch64 repositories. 😜

Strit, 8 months ago to selfhosted in How do you monitor your servers / VPS:es?

I’m pretty old school, but as I only have 1 server, I just use ssh, df, du and top.

Strit, 8 months ago to selfhosted in In search for free domain I got one but some questions

In a normal domain/DNS scenario, you need to make sure your domain points to the correct IP. Most registrars have websites where you can manage which domain points to which domain in the DNS records.

Strit, 8 months ago to linux in Kernel 6.6.6 is out 😈

It’s a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.

Strit, 9 months ago to linux in How to Clean Electron Cache

It’s a cache. It’s meant to be deleted from time to time, especially if the application is not good at it by itself.

So simply delete the folder. Anything electron will need after that will be re-downloaded when the application is run again.

Strit, 8 months ago to linux in Super Productivity Keyboard Shortcuts on KDE

As far as I know, SP is an electron application and if you run Plasma in a wayland session, global keyboard shortcuts won’t work, unless you enable it in the Plasma settings.

Thanks for the detailed response.

So nixpkgs is more akin to the AUR, then a binary repository? The AUR is also just build scripts.

Strit, 9 months ago to linux in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

Not x86_64 based, but the PineTab2 and PineTab-V are 2 alternatives. The PineTab2 is aarch64 (ARM) based while the PineTab-V is, you guessed it, RISC-V based.

Both 8 GB RAM versions go for about $210 on their website.

Strit, 8 months ago to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

That’s already here with systemd 255 which released recently.

Strit, 9 months ago to linux in Systemd timer unit

the timer has no idea if it was triggered during last boot. It only has the context of “this” boot, so it will do it right after a reboot and set a timer to start the service again after a week of uptime.

So if you reboot every day, it will trigger the service every day, even though you set it to weekly in the timer.

So it’s up to your .service file to determine if it has been run this week or not.
