Maybe you can install Arch in Distrobox, then install Merkuro in your arch container?

Zim really is amazing, its the perfect balance with its simple plain text files in folders data structure, but powerful search and back linking. And I love linking to other files on the local file system.

How do you do the LUKS volume upload to cloud? Is it for syncing between devices or just backup? Personally I use (self hosted) NextCloud to sync my Zim between devices.

Yay, finally more non-SUV electric cars.

Oh, it's also made in China. And it's a rebranded Chinese car. The traditional manufacturers really are falling behind in the electric transition.

FlowLauncher looks neat, like KRunner for Windows. Thanks for sharing

Yeah the nodered flow on the target device is for handling shutdown(sleep) and status reporting back to HomeAssistant, so in HA the computer is a simple switch with on/off states

Oh neat!

I made a custom solution for WOL and remote shutdown using nodered and MQTT, but this is so cleaner than maintaining a custom solution

No they're not, in fact Cosmic is almost ready for Alpha release (Sorry, couldn't help myself)

You make a valid point.

One counterpoint does come to mind: Cost. The hardware to run it on ain't cheap

(Im not up to date on the used market and the cut off point where old macs become unsupported and stop receiving software updates)

Had great success on Kubuntu. Set up the desktop to have two giant icons only: Firefox, and shutdown.

On Windows the constant popups for updating various components were causing much confusion Java, flash (back in the day), printer "drivers", and of course windows itself would throw popups about updates requiring clicking buttons every time they used the computer, which was very infrequently, and cause them much confusion ("what does update mean" ?")

Meanwhile on Kubuntu all updates go "shhhh" in the background, and no more confusing "To shutdown, press Start"

I hope a previously suggested goal of improving KDE for organizations makes a comeback. It was basically all about all the things a business/organisation would need to roll out a fleet of KDE computers, mainly tools for remote / centralised management by an IT department.

In the wake of Windows's recent and continued trend, more and more public institutions, universities, government etc should be looking at switching away from Windows. There's also EUs recent Digital Sovereignty Initiative.

German state Schleswig-Holstein is already swapping 30k computers to Linux

*Happy noises* :)

And I see there's a plugin for cross-linking between documents! More happy noises :)

And a nightly flatpak build :) Thanks for making it so easy to try out!

directly reflected on your system in the hierarchy of your KleverNotes storage folders.

This is a big deal. Joplin is great, but its database structure is horrible for interoperability.

Hopefully Klevernotes will also be more snappy and "native feeling". Joplin being Electron can be a bit sluggish sometimes ( which is mildly infuriating given that the database structure was chosen over plain files due to "performance").

That said, it be nice if Klevernotes was a WYSIWIG editor. There really are a lot of dual-view markdown editors with a preview. For generel notes / productivity I find the dual view distracting, but need the preview for images etc

 

The joys of discovering DRG for the first time and gleefully learning all the mechanics. Extra props for the careful and methodical test to verify if the game has Friendly Fire

 

Some instances disable downvoting. Is this intended to be for communities on that instance or users on that instance, or both?

I noticed while reading [email protected] ( https://reddthat.com/post/2053 ) that some commenters were talking about being downvoted, but I have no downvote button. Because downvoting is disabled on my instance?

How does it work the opposite way? Are users from lemmy.ml allowed to downvote on posts for example beehaw (who also has disabled downvoting)

Many instances say to keep language settings as "undetermined" otherwise you won't see most posts Example: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/59161 Example: https://reddthat.com/settings

Yet when I try to post a comment it will fail with language_not_allowed because initially there is no language selected. So I need to click on the "Select language" drop-down and choose English (the only option)

Actually in the Lemmy web interface (at least on my instance reddthat.com) the Post button will spin endlessly with no indication of what's wrong. Using the Jerboa Android app there's is the very brief error message language_not_allowed, and the comment disappears so I have to type it out again! On the Jerboa app there's also no option to select the language for the comment, so I can't use it to comment at all.

I experienced this language_not_allowed error while commentating on [email protected] and [email protected] , both English language communities

So how is this language setting supposed to work?

Is the language selected for posting comments the same setting as the profile setting, which the links recommend to keep as "undetermined" to be able to see (English language) posts?

Have i encountered a bug? Specific to my instance or Lemmy in general?
