  • Cleaning up packages?

    Jump

  • Like @pathos said, that's the list from the previous step. Because you're autoremoving, it will only remove packages that aren't dependencies of any other packages still installed.

  • Cleaning up packages?

    Jump

  • For anyone reading this on a Debian-based system, you can get a good start without risking removing anything important like this:

    1. Run apt-mark showmanual, and copy any package names you don't think you need into a list.
    2. Run apt-mark auto <pkg1> <pkg2> ...
    3. Run apt autoremove

  • Firefox Finally Did It (Tab Groups)

    Jump

  • Just install the Auto Tab Discard extension. After a certain amount of time it will replace your loaded tab with a (RAM-free) placeholder that reloads when you click it again. Me, my ADHD brain, and my 500 tabs can be at peace now.

  • (Dark take) Ghibli filter trend is just people hiding how ugly they are

    Jump

  • Small but crucial correction:

    Ghibli filter trend is just people hiding how ugly they feel.

    I might also say trying to hide instead. It's usually not hard to tell when it comes from insecurity.

  • What distro(s) do you use?

    Jump

  • KDE Neon on desktop. I want to be on the latest Wayland I can for feature support (and Waydroid), without being on the bleeding edge for stability, and it checks all those boxes. Based on Ubuntu LTS, with latest Wayland and KDE software.

    For my home servers I like to try out different distros. I have a thin client on openSUSE Tumbleweed running Portainer, a couple Armbian SBCs for reverse proxies, my main Unraid storage server, and a thin client running NixOS at my parents' house for backup storage and remote troubleshooting access.

  • World Backup Day

    Jump

  • Eh, I'm not sure if the world can be picked backup, it's been knocked down pretty hard. I'm always down for trying though.

  • Automation switching TRV on and off in 1° range over target

    Jump

  • I feel like this is screaming for proper PID controller logic. I like this one, installable from HACS.

  • I'm Guilty as Charged

    Jump

  • Is it tho?

  • *cel

    Jump

  • This doesn't deserve to be so clever. Ugh. compunctious grin

  • Your favorite system fonts?

    Jump

  • For desktop, I've liked Lato, Source Sans Pro, and Inter to name three.

    For terminal, I used Iosevka's customizer to create a gorgeous Fira Mono-like variant that I call Iosevka Firesque:

     
        
[buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque]
family = "Iosevka Firesque"
spacing = "term"
serifs = "sans"
noCvSs = true
exportGlyphNames = false

  [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants]
  inherits = "ss05"

    [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants.design]
    capital-g = "toothless-corner-serifless-hooked"
    capital-q = "crossing-baseline"
    g = "single-storey-serifed"
    long-s = "bent-hook-tailed"
    cyrl-a = "single-storey-earless-corner-serifed"
    cyrl-ve = "standard-interrupted-serifless"
    cyrl-capital-ze = "unilateral-serifed"
    cyrl-ze = "unilateral-serifed"
    cyrl-capital-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed"
    cyrl-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed"
    cyrl-capital-er = "open-serifless"
    cyrl-er = "earless-corner-serifless"
    cyrl-capital-u = "cursive-flat-hook-serifless"
    cyrl-u = "curly-motion-serifed"
    cyrl-capital-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed"
    cyrl-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed"
    brace = "straight"
    ampersand = "upper-open"
    at = "threefold"
    cent = "open"

  • I wish all food could be as good as pizza.

    Jump

  • Pizza bagels are pretty good, just toast a bagel, add sauce & pepperoni (and cheese if you want), warm it a bit more in the microwave.

    Pepperoni in scrambled eggs is also ridiculously tasty, even more so on a warm croissant with a slice of melty provolone or havarti. Mmmm...

  • How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

    Jump

  • Fwiw, you can change the shortcuts for nano in your ~/.nanorc. Most of mine are the same as standard desktop editors, except undo is Ctrl+U because Ctrl+Z is commonly bound to suspend, and quit is Alt+Q instead of Ctrl+Q because in browser window terminals (e.g. Unraid) Ctrl+Q usually closes the whole browser (oof).

  • Hurricanes should be given corporate sponsorship labels

    Jump

  • Just measure it as a percentage of their market cap/gross profit (yes gross, not net) rather than an absolute dollar amount, problem solved.

  • How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

    Jump

  • You can change that in the nanorc along with changing key binds, colors, and the like.

  • How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

    Jump

  • To be fair, you can easily rebind all the keys to be more normal by adding a .nanorc. Though, Ctrl-Z conflicts with suspend in many terminals, so I keep that one as Ctrl-U. A .nanorc also allows turning on mouse support, changing the color scheme, etc.

  • Electricians of fediverse, should I have my selfhosting box grounded?

    Jump

  • Except in very rare configurations (i.e. not 99.9% of residential), you do not want to have multiple paths to ground within a system. All grounds should go to the tied ground/neutral bus in the main breaker panel, which then goes to earth via a ground rod or a clamp to a copper gas/water line, etc. Otherwise you can have current flowing in ways that the system isn't designed for, which at the least can trip breakers and GFCIs, and at worst exceed the rating of the wires in a short condition and cause a fire.
