I don't know what you mean with 'PSO', so I'm not sure if I deserve your respect.

A friend of mine and I had a discussion why Browser add workspaces or side-panel like views inside them as I think the usage of multiple windows archives the same effect: separating a bunch of tabs.
They had the argument that it benefits as many windows get hard to handle when you try to find the right one in the taskbar after minimizing one.

So I had the idea "That's a good point. But why limit it to Browsers and Co and wait for them to implement such stuff (other example is tmux with terminals)". So I started researching and found a Mastodon post (sorry, but I forgot where it was) that showed a Plasma shell inside a Wayland window. With some tinkering I came up with this script.

Now to answer your question: it can help to organize a lot of windows, but each Plasma instance takes about 200 MB RAM and also on my computer the main Plasma instance kept crashing after some minutes.

kwin_wayland supports launching Wayland displays inside a Wayland display. This can be used to launch KDE Plasma inside these windowed displays, and that recursive.

A GitHub with the script is here.

 
 

I joined the group of hosters for Signal-Proxies. PM me for getting the address.

But as the official configuration requires a dedicated server (or public IP) I needed to change it, so I would appreciate it if anyone is willing to test how reliable it is. If it works well, I can make a PullRequest on the repo for the config.

Would fit very well, but kinda hard to animate with ASCII or Unicode half-block char :D

It can do this. It is a patch of systemd-bsod, so it can (almost) everything it the original can.
The program searches for the latest logmessage with emergency level and displays it.

Some of you may heard about the new BSOD feature of Systemd.
But I sure you never had a BSOD which shows you in such a "sympathetic" way that your computer fucked up.

With my mod of systemd-bsod, instead of getting a QR-Code which helps you to find more info about the problem, your PC will just show you the middle-finger.
(The error-message is still displayed.)

I really have no idea.

Also I have to admit that my approach is quite conservative.
Not every mesa update may be incompatible with the freeworld packages, but my package holds them back until RPMFusion published an update themselves.

Is there a community where people share their own projects?

I have some self-made applications and think they may be useful for others too, so I want to present them.

I already looked into some of the FOSS communities, but they seem more to be for news and discussions of established software.

Thank in advance for any tip.

 

So, I'm have some topic I want to write a post about, but don't know what would be the best fitting magazine to post it.
Is there community where people like me can describe their topic so others can recommend magazines?

 

Maybe some of you already had the problem: mesa-freeworld from RPM-Fusion can be out of sync with the standard mesa packages.
Once this led to a black screen after reboot for me.

So, I decided to create a metapackage which pins the versions of all mesa dependencies to be compatible with mesa-freeworld.
I published a Copr Repo with it, in case others think it is useful.
