Do you see anything in dmesg when you try to suspend?

Ladybird is a non profit developed by volunteers, no company.

Project lead is Andreas Kling (you should definitely watch his development videos and streams), great guy who developed SerenityOS aswell, an operating system from scratch. For that he developed LibWeb which he then used to create Ladybird. They only recently founded a non-profit, which is probably needed as the project size grew.

You will always need some sort of oom killer unless you have endless memory (or swap space, which comes with its own problems in the form of grinding your system to an almost halt). Imagine all memory is , then some system critical task (or even the kernel itself) needs memory as well. If the kernel can't kill a less important process to free memory in such a situation you might just crash your system.

and you can afford to lose everything in the case of a power cut

But ext4 is a journaling filesystem, so a power cut shouldn't harm it.

I have no idea about apple design guidelines and am not a UX designer, but wouldn't a horizontal seperator look better? In gtk i would add one here, gives some extra space and more visual seperation.

So I don't even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.

It's not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

[–] jeremias@social.jears.at 1 points 1 year ago

Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command] [some arguments] [...] This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.

Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.

I doubt my .at domains is going under, and if so I'll have bigger problems to worry about.

I use a quartz64 from pine. Back when it came out it was beefier than the rpi4. With the 5 that has now changed but it still is a great little machine.

My instance runs on it aswell as my other webservices (A Homepage, cgit instance and a small blog). Handles everything really well with the 8GiB of RAM.

Setup is a bit of a pain, especially because I had the urge to run gentoo on it. Compile times are actually acceptable.

It costs 80 bucks, which is really acceptable.

Edit: Forgot to mention energy efficiancy, ARM is unbeaten by x86 in that department. People on here recommend old PCs a lot, which, depending on your local energy prices could quiet quickly void the savings made by buying it. Also it has a SATA port, which requires some tinkering with the Devicetree to get running but allowed me to use an old 1TB SSD i had in the house.

Karma inherently breeds monotony and circlejerking. When people "farm" for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one "right" (popular) oppinion.

I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I'm happy I don't have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

Well we've had binary packages for ages for big builds like firerox and default is still to use source packages.

Still I'm really excited for this, having the whole, or big parts of the package tree, will speed up initial installations by a lot on weak arm systems for example. Now initial installation can be done quick and later you could still compile stuff yourself for the full gentoo experience.

[Swaybar] Cava in swaybar (social.jears.at)

Distro: Gentoo

WM: Sway

Bar: Swaybar

It seems swaybar gets very little love, but it is honestly amazing how easily customizable it is.

I have only been able to find similar things for waybar, so I thought I should probably just code up a solution for spectrum visualization myself.

In the background runs a little selfmade C program that uses cava in binary raw mode, playerctl, pactl and some system functions to gather all the necessary information like the spectrum analyzer, song currently playing, volume and date/time.

Some rudimentary optimization was done to keep swaybar from drawing when the levels haven't changed, so if no audio is playing it takes up basically no computing power.

The source code is pretty hacked together, but if someone wants it, just comment and I'll provide it.

Well it is pretty much impossible to delete anything on any federated service. It is technically just not possible without opening a whole other world of problems.

I always like to think of the fediverse in some way like emails. If you send an email, the moment it leaves your mail providers server it is pretty much impossible to stop.

Basically think before you post. The internet never forgets, the fediverse especially so.
