For me is the lack of virtual displays is Wayland.

I’m using a 49" monitor (with i3) and split it into virtual monitors/displays. For some tasks two displays are good, for others three, and all doesn’t need to be the same size.

The reason for not using i3 splits is that many programs have fullscreen functions that I often use.

Watching a movie is one example, where I have a script that automatically calculate the optimal width without borders and gives me an extra virtual display beside with whatever’s left.

“Crime was always with us, he reasoned, and therefore, if you were going to have crime, it at least should be organised crime.”

I’m also using it to script sessions of workflows with many programs, for instance a dev environment with a lot of microservices. Some windows with multiple panes each.

This kind of reminds of the BlackDog: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackDog

It was a small computer that easily fit in a pocket and only had a single USB port. That was connected to a computer which powered it, and it connected as a virtual CD-ROM drive.

On that was an xming X11 server. The BlackDog ran your applications outputted through it. The applications it ran could also access the Internet through the host computer.

This is an interesting book I can recommend by Susan Cain: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

Exactly this. I am a very social person when among people, but pay a price for it afterwards, as I’m drained of energy.

Introverts gains energy by being by them selves. Extroverts needs to be with other persons to gain energy,

That said, most people are not neccessarily completely one or the other.

I understand where the misconception comes from though. Seems likely that being introvert often leads to not be very social since you’re “punished” for it by your own mind.

Ah, so AI will kill off humanity. Not with a terminator but as a sex chat bot, leaving people unable to interact normally with other humans. No more human children!

I’m using a 49" monitor and dividing it up in virtual X11 monitors/screens for flexibility. Running a tiling window manager with lots of virtual desktops, but with fullscreen support separate monitors are still needed. Wayland are still missing the support for dividing up the display, which is probably the last thing keeping me on X11.

They would have had my wife locked up then, who has a lot of Hello Kitty gear and clothing, now being 45 years old :)

Phew, looks good on the news with the packaging bug (if they didn’t just got cold feet for worse PR/backlash than they expected and this is a backtracking).

In this case, hopefully Garcia is employed for his expertise and can be deployed to further open source relations :)

I’m running a couple of Vaultwarden instances, and it would be really nice if Bitwarden employed Garcia to improve the Rust backend. But as the bitter cynic I am, I guess it is an effort to shut down and control as much of the open source use of Bitwarden as possible.

The worst case, someone will most likely fork Vaultwarden and we can still access it with Keyguard on mobile and the excellent Vaultwarden web interface :)

Daniel García, owner of the Vaultwarden repo, has recently taken employment for Bitwarden.

The plot thickens.

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.

Then they didn’t even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).

Their website was horrible, and their support wasn’t better.

LetsEncrypt though hasn’t failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.

The Kame ipsec project (https://www.kame.net) has a turtle image which is animated if visited with an IPv6 address.

Not exactly that layout, but I can strongly recommend MessagEase. Also optimized for phone use.

First thing I do on a new laptop is remapping a key I won’t be using much to Insert, which I use all the time :)

What if they DIDN’T have a chip in the ink cartridge, and just used it as a container that could be refilled and used in every printer they made? No hacking the cartridge then.

No, that’s crazy talk!
