KDE Neon and kubuntu have Wayland as default. Just was trying them because I wanted Plasma 6. Took a bit of tweaking for a few things but I have all the things I need running fine with Wayland.

My entire childhood was Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 on the PS2.

I used mostly this, but had to customize it a bit I think to get things working right. NUT feels like a super finicky system, but in the end it does work. My biggest issue right now is that it only reports a new status update to Home Assistant every few minutes, so the actions don’t really get a chance to trigger before the server shuts down. It also shuts down with the UPS at way too high of a percentage remaining, so I need to figure out how to make it wait just a little bit longer before the power down. It wants to power off like < 2 minutes after the power goes out…

I’ve got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it’s supposed to notify me before that happens. It’s not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it’s not working this morning because the power went out, so now I’m just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃

Over? Like a over a fence gets you out of it.

I originally missed the “I” so I went to “green”.

The one I use is called “Unpinterested!”, and is on both the Firefox and chrome extension stores. You can also use uBlacklist to block the domains.

It’s not the 4th amendment to the Florida constitution. It’s in slot #4 on the ballot.

When I switched to Firefox a while back, I also switched to using the Tree Style Tabs extension. It gives you vertical tabs which can be nested like a folder structure. I found it’s way more convenient to know which tab was spawned from a parent tab, and keep similar tabs all in one little grouping. In my opinion, it’s even better than Chrome’s tab grouping. I lose a tiny amount of screen real estate along the left side of the browser, but it really didn’t take long at all to get used to, and now I vastly prefer it.

I did the same thing with home assistant and just the stock clock app. Just looking at the “next alarm” sensor state.

Hah! I just recently got to switch off Comcast to a newer local fiber company. Comcast emailed and texted me for weeks telling me to return their equipment that I never had, but even their website showed I had nothing to return so I ignored it. Eventually the emails changed to “you’ve been charged”, so I called to complain. They assured me that I wasn’t actually charged, and then realized they owed me a prorated refund since I cancelled in the middle of a billing cycle. They absolutely weren’t going to give that back unless I called.

I just set my domain email up with Zoho. Was easy enough and they have a free option. Although I pay $1.25/mo per user for two users, just to get a little extra storage space and be able to use SMTP and ActiveSync to send email from my servers for notifications and use a different mobile app than their default one.

Yeah I’m with you. Just say ACAB. No sense in obscuring it further than the acronym already does.

This will be down voted, but I also tried a bunch of launchers and never found one I liked better than Nova. I ended up installing TrackerControl and Nova has its internet connection fully disabled. It doesn’t need Internet for any features I use, so I felt like this was a good compromise, personally. I ended up starting to block trackers in all my apps now because of it, so I see it as a net win.

Tracker Control on Android works well for system-wide tracker and ad blocking, and you can configure custom blocking rules per-app. Works without root by using a VPN profile (but no data leaves your device via the VPN, it just routes the traffic through this app).

A great puzzle game with terminals often found in woods or other outdoors locations. Like so:

I thought the same, but it only took me like 2 days to get used to it.

It is now. Dream Theater, “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence” at 42:00 is a good one.
