As long you give them a good life before you murder them and eat them, that changes everything.

The same way that pigs are food and dogs are not. Cognitive dissonance.

May be spam. No other sites seem to be carrying this story besides this one that does not appear to a news outlet and is infested with VPN ads.

Thanks for sharing.

It does look like there’s a way to use PiHole personally for those who share the network with those who don’t want it: leave default DNS server setttings alone except for your own devices.

And if you aren’t home or available?

I quit Sway so rarely that I don’t have a keybinding for it. I have one for suspending/locking instead.

To exit, I use the terminal: swaymsg exit.

I never type that accidentally, so no warning is needed.

I use KDE Connect on Sway and don’t recall all these extra setup steps.

Each time I want to send or receive from my phone, I open KDE Connect first in Sway and that’s it.

Maybe these extra steps allow you to interact with your laptop before you open KDE Connect?

Does PiHole ever break a family member’s browsing, and then they don’t know to fix the issue because it would involve understanding opening up the PiHole web interface?

They’ve spotted you. Duck!

When I see this I think of the week I worked flat on my back with sciatica. It was literally a pain my neck as I turned my head sideways to look a laptop on the side on the floor.

So I see a guy with bad sciatica, but a more comfortable work setup.

 

You've got multiple monitors and watch to switch to a window several windows away.

You could switch focus there with a number of arrow key movements.

"sway-easymotion" allows you to use to press a key that prints a one or two character label on each window. Press that key and your focuses switch there.

Over the weekend I submitted patches for a couple of new features. First, I added multi-monitor support. Second, I added a visual confirmation of which window was selected.

If you are familiar with Github and Rust, you can review the patches and try them out here:

  1. App redirects to identity broker
  2. Identity Broker redirects to social login
  3. Browser prompts to open password manager to access social login password.
  4. Password manager prompts for master password and redirects back to social login
  5. Social login prompts for security key.
  6. Social login redirects back to identity broker.
  7. Identity broker redirects back to app.
  8. "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"
 

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

The bug report:

https://bugreports.qt.io/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/QTBUG-93269

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.
