right, those are the two ways. and how does niri do it? a workspace is shared among all monitor, or it's one workspace per monitor?

can you expand on that? how does it compare to sway, for example? what's unacceptable and acceptable for you?

I had a short moment where i felt "omg i can fit a framework board in there", but alas the 1300 is only 9" wide. Still, I really like this idea, and I wonder if i might not just make exactly such a thing but with a larger p

I just tried the free trial (1GB, 1 year, nice and thanks!) and this is pretty impressive software. I like the mobile app: it's snappy, and Just Works. Obviously, I couldn't fully test it because I have many gigabytes of photos

but see that's the thing, i don't even need that silly thing. i just run syncthing everywhere I need to (and it pretty much runs everywhere, including the kobo), and that's it. no middleman required (other than the syncthin

This is actually what I want Calibre the most for. It sorts things in folders quite nicely. I am one of those weirdos that really appreciated iTunes setting up my music by Artist/Album/Track.mp3 format back in the days... until

wow. that is courageous! looks like an interesting project... but I must admit it's not really something I use or need anymore. I used to do some book conversions when I would only find (say) a `azw` or a `mobi` file and would need to

Author here, fancy seeing this here (again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21190657 )! I keep updating that article as I find things, the most progress there is is in ebook readers. I mostly use Koreader on a Kobo now,

I use syncthing to sync my library around now, as mentioned in the article (I believe). This works great for Koreader, which stores read stats in a plain text file next to the ebook file. That can lead to syncthing conflicts sometimes, unfo

as mentioned in the fine article, it looks like many distros patched this out already, for some reason. Debian has that default flipped since Debian squeeze , published in 2011: https://sources.debian.org/src/xterm&#x2

author here: I'm a computer engineer, not an economist. had I gotten into "more of an economic analysis", I am sure proper economists (here?) would have slammed me down much harder than engineers (?) did here.

i kind of like having the video. actually running the fuzzer uses a lot of CPU: it makes my fan startup. it works fine here on Firefox + Debian GNU/Linux 11 stable/bullseye.

ah. right. that's the bit I was missing (pun intended). thanks for the clarification. in that sense, yes, of course, if you have bit rot and another disk failing, things go south with just two disk. ZFS is not magic.

That you need to use du to get per subvolume disk usage is the problem here, I think you missed the point I was trying to me. But that's on me, I couldn't imagine someone would seriously consider that I didn't know the diff

i don't think the security model of package-install is good enough for my thread model. (to be fair, i still package-install some stuff, and, yes, with use-package, but i'm trying to eradicate that practice.)
