Unsure how well known it is, but flameshot (screenshot tool).

I prefer CLI usually, so: zoxide, the zsh git plugin for aliases (e.g.: gst is git status), fzf zsh plugin and the tldr command comes in handy sometimes.

Also, this might be useful just for me, but due to orientation of my living space, I have to fiddle with monitor brightness at least three times a day so I made myself a little Qt tray wrapper around ddcutil's ddcquery which can change standard vesa monitors brightness/contrast (DDC/CI communication).
There is also ddcui/gddccontrol GUI that does the same thing.

For cli oriented folks, ncdu is a great cli alternative of QDirStat

Friend just hopped to Bazzite from Windows.
I was hoping the atomocity would be a great boon - you kind of can't break it right.

Well, he wanted to configure RGB lighting on his mouse but the flatpak openrgb did not work, supposedly the udev rules included in bazzite by default, are not up to date or there was some other problem.
As such we had to install openrgb the usual system-wide way, with rpm-ostree in terminal - something I was hoping he would never had to do.

Unless the vendor is rolling something super custom, for the communication TO the keyboard, it should use USB HID.

Start Wireshark, filter for hid, connect the KB and the first message should be a HID descriptor of the KB, look for Output Reports (it's meant from the POV of the usb master) or Feature Reports.
Though, this will probably not yield much insight - vendors love to do the easy thing, reserve opaque 32x8 bytes as a "downlink" Output communication in the Vendor Usage Page and stuff their own protocol/encoding in there.

On linux I can recommend hid-tools for working with this, in windows I believe your only solution is Wireshark.

Happy Hacking!

E: About the already reversed software, for logitech (and more) stuff, there is piper but you will want to look into the underlying daemon libratbag, there is also solaar

They might try anyway or push the egg outside, we had a weird case of finding multiple cracked pidgeon eggs in front of our high-rise apartment over the last few weeks.
Could be a different species doing it though, not a pidgeon nerd lol

Yeah Nick (the guy behind this) is one of a kind (in a good way) lol

Also recommend checking out this demo of NotCurses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYhZ7myXyyg it's great

I can't do that even on PC, tried to delete dead LAN url many times, it always comes back

It's okay-ish with stable volume enabled in the yt player.

It could still be cached by your instance infra, in your case I see cloudflare headers and cache HIT so it might take a bit before the image goes away, depending on the settings of your instance.

E: it's also possible your instance does not have cache revalidation configured correctly and as such the image could be cached almost indefinitely (the headers currently say it can be cached for a maximum of a year). @Lodion@aussie.zone

I've always used just Green With Envy but this seems just a bit more polished and active, nice

Is this a try at some joke I dont get? Flared != flat?

This is what flared usually looks like

-S should not even try to refresh the database, that is what -Sy is for. And doing any variation of -Sy without also u (upgrade) is the unsupported partial "upgrade", so it is possible that the time changes but only in the case of misuse.

Also noticed you can just check the mtime of the directory itself, /var/lib/pacman/sync - directory mtime does not change when the files change content but pacman/alpm probably downloads the new databases to some temp files then moves them into the directory, changing it's modify time (see stat, stat -c '%Y').

How I didn't know about this is beyond me, either way now you know too, can't wait for release!

https://lab401.com/ (I guess one of the bigger supplier/e-shop of hacking tools in EU) has a sale going on.

If you are interested you can check it out but I have another question, has anyone actually found the hamster?
I've even started scouring the page sources, considering the nature of the site it wouldn't be unusual to have it hidden literally but no bueno.
The 200EUR hamsters were gone within few hours so I must be doing something wrong or... :shrug:

E: Hoping to get the Chameleon Ultra for this christmas and this seems to be the only official/renown seller of them in EU (open to alternatives though!), I know it's rather sub-par compared to the Proxmark but PX is currently overkill for me and I love how cute and small the CU is.

Not affiliated with this in an way, I just think this guy (N-O-D-E) is making some great stuff that's worth sharing.

I've remembered this exists and there seems to be some very recent activity in the repo so if you didn't know what was possible with TUI graphics now you know! (recommended watching with sound :)

My PCs encountered a vampire. The barbarian successfully trips the vampire and then grabs her.

Que the vampires turn and I am thinking about using the vampires special vapor form, Turn To Mist to get rid of the conditions - there is nothing preventing the vampire using it, it's not even manipulate.
But some of my well-versed-in-rules players seemed to really dislike it, mainly the "free" getting up (which I countered with the polymorph trait, you are getting magically reformed).

In my book it still costs 2 actions (physical to gas then gas to physical) same as removing the grabbed and then Standing up would, it does bypass rolling the fortitude check and any reactive strikes though.

For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...

(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)
