i love that this ended in both of you acknowledging how cool this info is and that you can both be right in different ways, and everyone learning something new.

at least the positioning is being discussed in a wayland protocol, but its been heavily delayed due to wayland bureaucracy.

This is gonna take time but eventually we’ll see adequate replacements for smaller WMs like awesome. Especially because awesome is based on dwm, im hoping that as dwl (the wayland version of dwm) matures we’ll see projects like awesomewl come about.

are you using an nvidia gpu?

Large Wayland projects like KDE and Gnome that are considered member projects of Wayland had the ability to NACK new wayland protocols and proposals. This has historically been abused by a lot of a different projects, in many instamces Gnome because they didn’t want to implement things. A lot of wayland proposals were unnecessarily delayed because of this. The bylaws of how wayland projects are allowed to NACK things has since changed to make it so a single project cannot needlessly block protocols but this was only implemented in the past few years iirc so for a long time this happened. Thats a massive contributor to why wayland development takes so long.

I mean this is sound advice that can go wrong if you hace the emotional intelligence of a doorknob (whicgmh is a lot of people, mostly men). Don’t just ask “is something botheribg you” so dryly and regularly you becomw whafs bothering her, but open lines of communication where you make it clear that you’re trying to improve your communication and then genuinely check in on her. Dont just ask if something is bothwring her, but find out how shes been and what may be adding stress into her life. Don’t immediately seek to fix it, but try to understand if she just needs to vent stress or if there are issues you can tsckle together. If an issue is identified, remember it is you and her vs the issue, not you vs her.

i will say that wayland has solved a lot of multimonitor issues, although most games where i have monitor issues in my dual monitor setup can be fixed by ensuring the monitor i want to play on is at 0,0 on the layout. sone fames are weird about that

you have very legible and clean handwriting, but your proportions reduce legibility. all the letters do not have to be uniformly the same height, many need to be taller or shorter than others. if you look at the early writing books for children learning english you’ll see that instead of there beibg one “tier” for the letters to sit on, there are actually two. Capital letters are twice as tall as most lowercase letters and the majority of a lowercase letter is still in the lower tier, but ascenders and descenders should be full height which helps make it a lot more distinct.

oh believe me i was

happy birthday! with my old smokebuddies once we decided we were gonna get riggity riggity rekt that night so we each took a whole 600 mg pack of edibles (i do think it was d8), made infused hot chocolate, and smoked a double wide kiefed and waxed joint that weighed 3.5g total. i smoked most of the joint but overall id say each of us probably consumed at least a gram of THC each in various forms. that was one hell of a sesh

Im a current underground raver across the and thats a sick af experience. sadly we dont have crazy multi day raves where i am but thats because they’d get popped if we threw in a bando past daylight

Thank you, it’s a lot of work and I could get by with a lot less but I’d like to essentially have enterprise level everything for me to just fuck around with and provide to friends as i see fit. It’s a bit if a hodgepodge of well implemented stuff stuck together with duct tape and bubblegum but im refining it slowly all the time.

I fr hate using AI to troubleshoot because I can feel how it makes me lazy, but sometimes using AI is better than banging my head against a wall for 10 hours. And usually i stop once I find a productive line of research or investigation to follow.

I care about displaced people in general and stand in solidarity with all of the oppressed of the world. That includes many varieties of Americans including the indigenous people of North America who have been displaced and genocided by Euro-American colonialism and also rural and suburban Americans who are being run out of their communities for the sake of capital and profit. And my heart extends to those outside of the US from Palestine to Sudan to the Congo to every other corner of the Earth.

but AI is increasing the rate at whoch data centers are being built which is putting enormous strain on a lot of communities with aging or inadequate public infrastructure and utilities like water and electricity. Some people have seen water and/or electricity prices double or have even lost access to their public utilities because everything is being routed to a nearby datacenter thats younger than their kids. And in many instances politicians are ignoring the communities they’re displacing because theres significant money involved.

For local DNS i run FreeIPA since everything in my network is domain controlled. I’m gonna look into adding filtering through that, but we’ll have to see how it goes.

Theres so much I end up handling manually with my UDM that at this point i might rather just install open source routing software on it atp. I don’t even use the web UI for wireguard because I can’t even specify the allowed IPs for a connection.

I just turned off ad blocking. I can set up network wide filtering without relying on proprietary incompetence.

I’m not entirely sure how I want to run my ad blocking yet. I left adblocking on for the wifi subnet because I don’t mind it there, and I have ublock origin on my PC. I might use PiHole but my DNS on my network is actually managed by FreeIPA so making sure everything works properly there is paramount. I’m pretty sure I can do that easily but I need to test it to make sure my forward zones work as expected and nothing breaks.

Yeah I found some documentation from Ubiquiti afterwards that said all DNS requests would get proxied, although it didn’t mention it wouldn’t forward dynamic updates.
