What DEs are people using? in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml
[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Just keep the config file(s) handy and always be playing with them. Join IRC #sway@Libera. Oh...and you can use the majority of the i3wm docs outside of anything doing with output or input. While I love man pages...I prefer web content for my docs.

Heh...I was just making an aside. Didn't mean to be suggestion for a banner.

Thanks for the artist info!

URNs(Uniform Resource Name) for federated objects? (lemmy.ca)
 

Has anyone thought of resurrecting the concept of URNs for Lemmy/Federated content? I just ask as it seems as one way to start thinking about reducing the link rot caused when something like imgur or gfycat goes private or offline. As it stands...a ton of lemmy instances brought up in the last few weeks will be gone in a month.

Something like an URN would be useful if there was some concept of 'super-federation', where two or more instances of the same service chose to cross-store data

Browsers don't support URNs currently, and the lookup/registry system would be potentially vast and full of duplicates, but it seems worth thinking about.

Sway. I look around every few months but nothing usually, um, erm pendulates my interest. I have hyprland installed...but my config file breaks with every update, and it's rice first, function later. I'm an opposite-ricer. I like to strip all decorations.

Guess my previous post was a bit premature.

[Kobo] With Pocket removal, what alternatives are you exploring? (lemmy.ca)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/1006971

I think the title says it all.

I saw a mention of an Omnivore integration I might check out, but it depends on Pocket still at least existing in the OS, and I would prefer to stay up to date. That and I am already proxying the Store through Calibre-web.

Hayes 1200. Anyone know why these things were built to be bombproof? Always kinda wondered about that...

Kobo releases new update with an emphasis on note-taking, Google Drive support added to Elipsa/Sage/Forma in c/ereader_community@lemmy.ml
[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I've never had a problem with my Libra's. Heard hear-say about Sage. Honestly tho, I carry a power bank in my laptop/gadget satchel, so...I don't really pay much attention to any battery besides that one.

I'm a long time Anker fan.

Lemmy Explorer instance integration/proxy? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Dang it! I actually knew that from previous exploration, but couldn't find it again and thought I had dreamt it. The 'Home' icon threw me off.

Lemmy Explorer instance integration/proxy? (lemmy.ca)
 

It occurs to me that it would be handy if the Lemmy Explorer could be either run with or proxied through an individual instance providing a 'Subscribe' button and hiding by default unfederated instances and their communities.

The current "Search Explorer --> copy full comm URL --> Home instance Search for Federated Community --> Cross fingers and wait --> Try to subscribe" workflow is wanting IMO.

Basic Bike Maintenance in c/bicycles@lemmy.ca
[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

These. Basic Bike these days just don't need as much daily maintenance. 😿

Biggest outside case I am always paranoid about is a loosening headset or bottom bracket. If you ever notice any knocking up front fix immediately. Chris King headsets seem to have also removed this small piece of bicycle maintenance tho.

Do not pressure wash your bike! You will end up degreasing all those fancy sealed bearings.

Bike Repair Stand Recommendations in c/bicycles@lemmy.ca
[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

In a pinch those wall leaning bicycle storage racks can be used as a light work stand. Most bike work these days doesn't necessitate the heavy wrenching required in the past. You may want to maybe immobilize the front wheel from flopping all about. Just something to consider. Two birds, one stone and all that.
