Infrared lasers aren’t visible. They’re still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it’s predominantly blue coloured green.

I would say don’t give DOGE any ideas but I think that’s less bad than some of their own.

Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” Palestinians get 33%.

In the System settings, under Window Management > Window Behaviour, in the Focus tab, there is a Focus stealing prevention selector. If it’s set to extreme, then it does prevent switching to another desktop when I open a window that gets sent there.

I think that’s what you want but I guess it would mess with all applications, not just Steam. I don’t think you can do it per application.

I remember there being a window management protocol that would allow more control but I don’t think Kwin implements it yet.

If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I’m not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.

How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there’s two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.

Not that it particularly matters for just queries. The problem is that DHCP can only be enabled on one host. If that one fails then devices can’t get on to the network themselves. I’d like to know a good way to have a failover DHCP server - my janky cronjob isn’t great.

Where do you do DHCP? I had a primary pihole with DHCP enabled and a secondary with a cron job that enabled DHCP if the primary was down or disabled it if the primary was working. The cron job did sync DHCP leases from one to the other but it was a bit janky. I tried to update the secondary to pihole v6 and hosed it so I have no backup for now. I’d like to re-image the secondary and get a better setup - when I have time.

Edit to say I really wanted to try keepalived - that’s really cool to fail over without clients noticing.

How are you setting font size? I’m running Plasma 6.3.5 and 150% desktop scale looks identical to 100% with a 150% page zoom in Firefox. Just scaling fonts sounds like it would make everything non-text appear the wrong size.

I do notice a weird behaviour where Firefox renders at 200% scale when it’s entirely within a display at 100% scale. If it overlaps another display at all then it uses the appropriate scale for each monitor. Maybe that’s a setting somewhere.

This is the default in NixOS when plasma6 is enabled. I went down the rabbit hole checking, it’s set here.

What’s wrong with fractional scaling in Firefox? It seems to work fine for me with kwin_wayland. Even if I have different scaling on each monitor, Firefox seems to respect it fine. Some really old software is a bit funky running through xwayland but nothing showstopping.

Solar photovoltaic doesn’t involve steam. We can be solarpunk as well!

I guess hydro-power uses steam in the global water cycle so I’ll give you that. Radio-Thermal Generators are all solid state, but not much power on earth comes from them.

I don’t quite understand what the backlash is here. The article is about FAQs on the Mozilla website. It seems reasonable that some people might interpret “sell” to be accepting money to set the default browser to Google. Clarifying that on their site seems fine. The FAQ was surely never legally binding.

Their ‘Terms of Use’ document is new as of Feb 26 AFAIK. Is that what people are upset by?

Doom is one of the examples for the PicoVision. It might need some hacking to get the keyboard to work since I think he used I2C to connect it instead of USB, but it can definitely run Doom.

KDE can focus apps with a key-bind natively - in the Window Rules settings (even easier if you open the context menu on a window and go to More Actions > Configure Special Application Settings…). So I have Meta+Enter mapped to focus a terminal etc.

I don’t know of a simple way to both open and focus with the same key-bind. KDE doesn’t seem to have implemented ext-foreign-toplevel-list so I don’t think external window management tools can do this yet.

They look like they need to tighten up the graphics a little bit.

They’re on discount. You don’t have to pay for the extra 40% of a keyboard.

Ah, I saw another comment about this. The free plan is 300,000 queries a month. That’d last me almost a week before it stops working.

That says it will only function for 300,000 queries per month. Based on my last 24 hours from pi-hole, that wouldn’t even last a week. Are you using a paid plan?
