That’s a … really well defined threat…

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues...

arran4,

Gentoo, after a 15 year break where I used Ubuntu / Arch. Might try NixOS or something similar.

KDE for desktop env.

Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?

The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine....

arran4,

Some monitors like the Dell U4323qe have a KVM built in, the KVM does Ethernet too.

arran4,

I have never tired Daisy Chaining but I hear it exists on some of the models not sure about the specific one I linked.

arran4,

Most of the reasons mentioned, and also they are a bit out of the way to install and setup, you don’t get much feedback as per users using them. As they integrated with the OS you have to search for them as a user, and you have advertise them as a someone packaging. Every extra step creates friction which ads up. It feels like a solution based in the concept of maintaining SEP. – Plus people aren’t exactly paid to do this.

arran4,

What are your needs which aren’t being met with flutter? – It’s really just a UI renderer and it has a C/C++/ObjectC/Java underlayer for everything else. It should link fine with existing c libraries. I have done a bit with it recently including desktop dev: www.producthunt.com/products/which-browser So hopefully I can answer any questions. – Hit me up on matrix

It seems that Zig is the intended language? If go where a consideration I would point you at this to consider: github.com/go-graphics/go-gui-projects too.

arran4,

Sounds reasonable. But I don’t like the 0 in the name.

arran4,

jdownloader seems pretty close to “internet download manager”

Also I prefer yt-dlp over youtube-dl

arran4,

Played 4 first, if you do that you really notice the retrocons etc. I figure in order probably works best.

Ukraine denies US requested to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries (newsukraine.rbc.ua)

Ukraine did not receive calls from the United States to cease attacks on Russian oil refineries, according to the advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak. Earlier, the media reported on Washington’s alleged request to Kyiv....

At some point they said that after beta it would be $9 a month. But that messaging seems to have disappeared.

arran4,

I’m contemplating trying to run the meta bridge locally to get around that issue, it has to do with their server running in I think Finland?

arran4,

Age old rule, invert the statement; they aren’t ready, don’t start now they don’t think it would be fair.

arran4,

Used to use it a lot. However these days I prefer window’d terminals that popup with a keyboard shortcut. To answer op. I use konsole atm. Usually that suffices, I don’t know what features I’m missing but I keep an eye on Warp. Tempted to write my own /again./

arran4,

Don’t let your guard down but at some point trust and risk consideration is required for most systems to work. If you’re after solutions; you could run your own node in the cloud and federate it.
