Seriously, it's a terrible idea to click any link including the unsubscribe link in spam email. It just confirms that your email is actively in use. Amount of spam will just increase.

Sorry what issues? I'm using syncthing to sync between a macos laptop, a macos vm, and my main linux desktop. I sync my projects folder with a lot of git repos. Maybe I've been lucky so far but no issues with syncthing and git so far

It's really like magic sometimes

And ping all that data to CCP instead of our corporate overlords? No thanks

Just opened my board with Gateron yellows pre lubed. The blue ones aren't lubed. I found similar marks all over the keyboard. Can these marks be dangerous and how do I deal with them?

They seem to be under the transparent plastic sheet on which the switches are mounted. I think it has foam underneath.

I reckon it could be related to the permissions required to write to the usb. Perhaps udev rules could help here?

Sorry but could you please elaborate. I've been using nvidia forever in linux machines both at work and at home. I work in AI so using nvidia gpus is a must. Maybe there's something that I missed but my experience has been pretty solid so far.

At home I am using openSUSE tumbleweed KDE wayland and at work ubuntu headless.

There should be a git cli client that plays gifs instead of errors.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the typical "requirements" post, but I’ve been searching for a fountain pen and still can’t find the right one. I’m hoping to get some recommendations!

I’m looking for a pen similar to my Parker Urban—perhaps a step up in quality. Here’s what I love about the Urban: the metal body feels great in hand, and the design is sleek yet understated. It’s been a reliable companion for over five years now, and I managed to snag it for just $5 or $10 during a clearance sale. Despite its quirks, it's stuck with me while others have come and gone.

Now, this might sound like an ad, but it's not! My relationship with this pen is a bit of a love-hate situation. It was plagued by ink skips and hard starts for years until I learned some nib-tuning techniques and sanded down the nib. Now, it writes beautifully, but it's set a high bar that other pens haven’t met. I’ve given away several pens to friends and family because they just didn’t click with me (pun intended).

One major sticking point for me is the cap mechanism. Most pens I’ve tried have screw-on caps, which makes jotting down quick notes a bit of a hassle. What I’m really after is a pen with a click-on, snap-on, or bump-sealed cap—something with a satisfying seal that provides feedback when closed. Here’s a rundown of what I’ve tried so far:

  • Majohn M800 Acrylic with Bock Nib: It should have been the holy grail in my budget, given the glowing reviews, and it does write well. But it lacks a certain something I can’t quite put my finger on. Also, it has a screw-on cap.
  • Asvine V126: The screw-on cap was a drawback, and the vacuum filling mechanism kept breaking.
  • Various Chinese Pens (Hongdian, etc.): These are well-regarded by the community, but they just didn’t feel right for me. Jinhao 82: The build quality was a bit too low for my taste.
  • Jinhao X159: A great writer, but the screw-on cap meant I didn’t use it as much as I’d like.
  • Jinhao Slip-On Cap Model: The slip-on cap was a plus, but I really want a cap that has a click, snap, or at least a bit of tactile feedback when it seals.

I’m willing to splurge up to $100 if it means getting a solid pen that fits my needs. But if there’s a well-built Chinese option for less, I’d be happy to snag it too.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you've been slacking off for a few days because you know it's small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

Need to scratch the same itch with my friends, in oder of priority:

  1. Available on pc and has full coop campaign.
  2. Military shooter that has cod like difficulty.
  3. Decent graphics. Not a hard requirement but this is one of the reason that WAW isn't working for us. It's showing it's age.
  4. Old guns.

Bonus points if the game environments are destructable.

Please no zombie game like L4D2 etc. Soldier on soldier combat is our jam.

Only if battlefield 1 had coop that'd been perfect.

Thanks!

Well the best thing about it is that she wouldn't even touch linux before this. She's primarily a mac user. But after I dragged her to see my desktop modifications, after 10 eye rolls, she said she could do much better job than me.

Hours later she was still at it, hairs scattered, baffled looking... saying how could someone live with so many choices lol.

The good thing out of this was that now she's starting to see the point of linux after all these years.

Eh, let it fall. I have been wanting to replace that samsung 4k crap that looks worse than 1080p chinese monitors

Close. Army housing. It's free so I am not complaining!

Hour after I come to this, I'm loving it. She modified it so it retains original kde look but has enough tiny details to keep it interesting. She says she'll resume the work tomorrow 🫡

There should be a sub for this kind of stuff so I can block it.

[-] SaveMotherEarthEDF@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

There are so many. By usage however:

Smart Audiobook Player: None of the apps I tried had all the features in one, like reading my complex audiobooks folder structure and auto grouping the books based on that. Timer to pause audiobook that is automatically reset by moving the phone.

Maps: No foss solutions work better where I live than GMaps

YTMusic: So this is a tough one to beat because of the nature of the platform itself.

Notes: I am looking for a P2P syncable note app that can also have a web interface or atleast a Linux version of the App. Allows drawing your notes on an android phone or tablet using stylus, and other usual features. Can also use cloud storage as a backup or sync source. I know this one is a really tall order.
