jlow,

Article links to this, which I’ll have a look at:

itsfoss.com/note-taking-apps-linux/

jlow,

What I’d want is to do Ctrl-F anywhere to search everything, then get a list of results, click on an entry and get to the line in the note where the searched phrase is, having it highlighted.

Instead you have to click on “All notebooks” on the top left, search, which returns all the notes that have the phrase, click on one of them, search again and hope that it was the correct notebook or try the next one

Ctrl-P does what I want but it’s not highlighting the result which is just a minor inconvenience.

jlow,

Yeah, tried that a few days ago and gave up on it after trying change the date format to something that wasn’t in their (horribly designed UX wise) options which basically mangled the whole thing. It sounds like a really cool system but I think I’ll wait a few years.

jlow,

I was wondering if you can do BIOS updates through wine (because obviously they only are supplied as .exes) but it doesn’t sound like something I’d like to try …

jlow,

Another alternative is OrganicMaps which people seem to like. I can’t stand then colors and it hasn’t as many features but it’s nice otherwise

jlow,

I don’t trust e (that name 🤦‍♀️) not sure why but they pulled some weird stuff in the beginning that I can’t remember and at least back when I checked years ago they shipped a weird store that got it’s apps from shady apk sites which is a strange move to push on everyday consumers. I hope they changed but …

jlow, (edited )

I have a friend who (just like me) has had a FP3, we were both very happy with it. Not sure why but he needed to replace it, got the FP5 but it was to clunky for him. Replaced it with a Pixel with Graphene likes it a lot.

I’d still still perfectly happy with my FP3 running Lineage/MicroG but my SD-card slot seems to be broken and I’m running out of space. I’m getting a FP5 in about a week, let’s see if it’s too clunky for me as well ^__^

jlow,

Needs more system settings, there’s only three.

How to check a direct downloaded mkv file

Decided to dip my toes in so I followed the guide to a website where I can download some content via google drive. Like an idiot, I didn’t research the risks of direct downloads before and so I’m now a bit paranoid. I understand the chances are low and my media player needs to be exploited but is there a way to be certain? A...

jlow,

Yeah, I think if videofiles where a common (or even feasable, I’ve never heard of it) way to distribute malware we’d know about it (and phishers would not need to rely on MS Word macros so much 👌).

jlow,

Not sure if renaming “Extrakt here, autodetect subfolder” to “Extraxt here” is a smart move …

Sure, you’d find out that it does detect subfolders now even though it doesn’t say it but if I had not read this I would probably have assumed the removee the subfolder detection

jlow,

It does get a bit of getting used to (esp having only one sidebar) but I’m quite happy with Dolphin in dual panel mode.

What dock do you use in Wayland?

I moved over to Wayland full time a couple of weeks ago (using KDE on Arch). I have finally rid myself of any X11 hangups apart from one. Latte will NOT respect my primary screen when changing monitor arrangement (ie. turning my projector on and off) and seems to randomly pick a screen to call the primary....

jlow,

Does xrandr work on Wayland? I thought it was an X11 tool. That would be so cool, I use it to change the brightness on my laptop’s monitor when KDE’s gui thing stops working (after sleep, I think). I think I looked for a replacement for Wayland but did not find anything a while back

jlow,

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification ^__^

jlow,

One of my admin friends said it’s not really made with desktop users in mind but more for people who need to set up (lots of) computers / servers quite often (= admins). If you’re not planning on distro hopping or reinstalling your system all the time it doesn’t really do anything for you that any other distro plus a good backup strategy already does. Plus you can use the Nix package manager without installing NixOS on the distro you’re on right now, if you wanna check it out.

How do people here feel about this evaluation?

jlow,

Iceraven is a very nice replacement for Fennec which was always slow af for me.

jlow,

For Android there’s the very originally named Privacy Browser (on F-Droid) and I recently found Iceraven (installed via Optanium).

  • jlow,

    I feel like civilisation is kinda doomed when we let people come up with the same shitty idea every few years over and over again. It has been proven again and again that using your real name doesn’t deter people doing the most heinous things on social media. Bigots don’t care of you know their names. Just log into Facebook Twitchan or any other social media for a second to see that this idea is complete bs. But whatever even if she would realise it there will be someone in a few years trying to do it again.

    jlow,

    For the person not in the car, obviously 👍

    jlow,

    Also horizontal fronts on cars make accidents even more deadly.

    jlow,

    I bet there are statistics on just how much space is wasted on cars (roads, parking space) but I don’t have them handy. It will probaly pretty maddening when only considering “urban” areas but I wonder if it’s more or less of 1% of the world’s total landmass …

    jlow,

    Do old versions of Linux (Ubuntu in this instance) run better on really old hardware? That might be a reason if so.

    jlow,

    Oh, nvitop looks really nice, thanks! So far the only thing that seems to correctly read my GPUs data is a fork of the KDE system monitor widget 🤷‍♀️

    jlow,

    That would be wild if true. Wikipedia is sceptical about this, the findings have not been formally published, so aren’t verified:
