  • How I use virtual desktops

    Jump

  • not sure if a virtual desktop is the same thing as workspaces in Gnome, but what I do is I only really open one window in one workspace. The first window I open since system startup goes into the first workspace, etc. Usually the first one is the browser (Librewolf).

  • So I connected through ssh back home to fiddle with the router settings, and in the PPPoE settings (where you set a pair of username and password that your router sends to the ISP such that the ISP knows you and knows what IP to assign to you) I made a typo, and apparently that instantly killed the internet connection at home and also for me. I had to call my mom to instruct her to fix the typo in the username. TBH I don't know that much about PPPoE either, I only do it so that the ISP assigns us the same IP address every time.

  • Almost the same thing happened to me. I accidentally fucked up the internet connection in my home while in Japan, and I had to video call my mom to have her fix it. It was a pain for both of us, but thankfully it went rather smoothly. Thank you mom!

  • Mozilla did something good!

  • Very true. I used to poweroff my laptop every day, but now, after getting into servers, I sometimes leave my laptop up overnight (even though the laptop isn't the server)

  • My password is not accepted because it is too long

    Jump

  • Yes, haha, I saw your other comment about this off-by-one issue. Interesting that it happens at all.

  • Is there any specific reason to using 31 random characters instead of 32?

  • Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source

    Jump

  • Thank you! I'll try that out.

  • Offtopic, but do you think it's better to use HTTPS for non-public web services that must be accessed through ssh?

  • I just looked it up, and apparently "impregnate" isn't in the list either. Yes, the word isn't offensive by itself, but I think they remove quite a lot of words that might cause problems in the what3words address. There is way more than enough words anyway.

    This is from their FAQ:

    How do you handle offensive words?

    A what3words address is made up of 3 random words, and they are not intended to convey any meaning to a location. However, we know that the nature of using words means that unexpected interpretations can crop up.

    For each new what3words language, our team consults a broad range of native speakers. We then work together to remove rude and offensive words from our word lists, navigating cultural sensitivities wherever we can.

    Some users feel that certain words in our lists are unsuitable or inappropriate, so we always take feedback onboard. However, one of our key features – that our addresses are permanently fixed – means that it is not possible to update the word list. Instead, we can look for opportunities to adapt our approach when developing future languages.

    Tip: if you’d rather avoid a certain what3words address because of a particular word or combination of words, we’d suggest you use the next square along.

  • unfortunately the people at What3Words excluded words people might find offensive from the word list, so that place does not exist

  • I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?

  • Glad to know you're doing well!

  • Cool you moved to Japan? How has it been?

  • TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"

    Jump

  • Yes, like the Vietnamese name "Nguyen", but not like "wininks". The best I could describe it is as a hybrid between "ninks" and "ginks". Pronounce the first consonant with the back of your tongue while keeping the image of pronouncing an "n" sound in your head.

  • I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.

  • I have no idea why you're being downvoted. Perhaps it's coming off as a bit rude to some?

  • True. It doesn't even install on Android 14.

  • Fcitx5 is the best for Chinese. Honestly very impressed that there is a open-source keyboard this good for Chinese. Only thing missing is fat finger error correction (like autocorrect but it works on the preedit text instead of text already output)

  • Fcitx5 for Chinese, and Flickboard for English. Honestly sad that there isn't a decent open-source keyboard for Japanese though.
