I've used herbstluftwm on my main desktop for years. Love it. Manual tiling works well for me. Totally flexible and customizable. Switch between floating and tiling with a keypress, etc.

And then on various other machines.

  • Xfce on my desktop at work that I don't use that much (work mainly from home) and just needed to set up quick. It's totally fine, like xfce always is.
  • Gnome on my tablet (basically a Surface knock-off). I don't really like gnome, but it's the only thing I've tried that works well OOTB for a touchscreen.
  • PekWM on an old macbook running debian. Great stacking WM. Super flexible, and the tabbed windows for any app are cool.
  • LXQT on an ancient (2009?) dual-core laptop that I mainly just use for writing in nvim. Works well for a simple setup.

How much you wanna bet that the same people who demanded she be uninvited also insist that the Israel/Palestine conflict has nothing to do with settler-colonialism?

Linux Mint Debian Edition. Very windows-like + automatic updates = ideal for people who don't really want to have to learn anything new (assuming your parents are like mine in that respect).

However often you do it, you should definitely do it today to cover the serious backdoor that's been discovered: https://archlinux.org/news/the-xz-package-has-been-backdoored/

I've been using tmsu for years to manage thousands of pdfs and images for my academic research.

It can be set up to work with a webdav database. So yes, you could self-host the database and access it from clients with local zotero installs.

WaPo finally responds with this hack piece. N.B. the anonymously sourced paragraph:

Several congressional officials familiar with previous testimony that Grusch provided in classified hearings have said they were unable to substantiate or corroborate his claims that the U.S. government secretly runs a program to recover and reverse engineer crashed alien vessels.

Even they could only ignore it for so long.

The irony is that once you find your way around through the default keys and search a little you soon discover how easy it is to reset them with "sane" settings. Same for window frames, etc. But yes, there's definitely a learning curve.

Admits? Acknowledging that destroying capitalism is key to addressing the climate catastrophe is like admitting the sky is blue (or orange and smoky, as the case may be).

  • endeavourOS

    • arch + installer + an awesome community
  • spiral linux

    • debian + btrfs + snapper with snapshots in grub
    • I run it with sid and the snapshots are great if anything goes wrong with an upgrade

For my research (humanities) I self-host linkding to keep track of web stuff and use tmsu to tag all my local files (pdfs, images, etc). I also use zotero for biblatex/word processor integration. I admit it gets a little clunky working across those systems, but the key for me is keeping the tags consistent across all of them. I guess I'd be interested in an all-in-one solution, but I'm years deep into this setup, so I can't imagine the effort it would take to transfer everything over.

This whole timeline is terrible. No writer would dare submit the screenplay.
