@jameskupke What distro are you using? On manjaro, I've got sway 1.6.1 from community and kdeconnect 21.08.1 from extra, and it works fine with an 'exec kdeconnect-indicator &' in my sway config.

@mart Yeah, though a few differences. The one pictured is actually a contra (a more DIY knockoff), rewired and controlled by a teensy++2.0 (found it half-broken on eBay).
The OLKB #planck is rev4 PCB.

Minor layout differences are due to memory constraints: This one has a key to type the preamble to the US Declaration of Independence, and the #OLKB one can play audio through the speaker.

@mart I have two. The other one (which has a smaller 3d-printed case), I'll carry with me, but this one is mostly for around the home.

Does anybody know a good way to make screenrecording gifs on #mobileLinux? Kind of want to show off some stuff I've setup in #swmo.

@PINE64 legit sat here for 30 seconds before realizing it was a 10 second loop.

Created a #Microsoft account today. So that, plus a recent log-in to #Amazon (not to purchase anything), makes me an active member of the #GAFAM. 😐😶🟡

@linmob The nice thing about #sxmo / #swmo compared to phosh is that you can actually customize it pretty easily with hooks in your home directory.

This makes the power button behave as expected, unless the menu is open.

@linmob Do you have any #sxmo / #swmo for dummies advice? E.g. like when you turn the screen off, how do you turn it back on?

The unsubscribe link (and reply email address) is hidden in the html portion of the email.

#linode is now sending me #spam marketing emails with no List-Unsubscribe header😡 The email appears to contain a #googleAnalytics pixel🤦‍♀️ It's from a no-reply address🤷‍♀️ (otherwise I might be complaining directly to them)

#regret

New #LEGO build: a plugin for my #olkb #planck keyboard-case to hold a #pinephone (or any smartphone).

I would say it works well, but TBH it needs a counterweight to be a usable lap-top device.

@yaaps@banana.dog @alcinnz @neauoire finally moved off of #DigitalOcean and onto #linode and I'm only paying $1 more than before. And even before October (at least, in my timezone).

Actually, updating #nextcloud to #postgresql on #alpine was pretty easy
1. php occ db:convert-type pgsql nextcloud localhost nextcloud
2. (Disable some apps until that command worked)
3. ssh $OLD_SERVER pg_dump nextcloud | psql nextcloud
4. rsync data dir onto new server
5. Mess around with some config stuff
6. Update https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Nextcloud wiki page to be slightly more up-to-date

Watched #freeGuy last night: the movie about an #NPC going off-script against a massive studio... maybe I should get (back?) into #gamedev. I don't play many single-player games, as coding is just more fun.

Migrating a #laravel site to #postgresql from mysql/mariadb

1. Run migrations to create db structure
2. Remove single quotes from the database (and newlines/control characters, because why not). This allows mysqldump files to be imported into postgresql.
3. mysqldump --compatible=postgres --no-create-info --skip-add-locks $DB | psql $DB
4. Fix increments `ALTER sequence song_id_seq RESTART 12345;` (current versions of laravel use old-fashioned postgres increments)

I thought a fun thing to do would be to switch my main VPS to #alpinelinux for more frequent updates (compared to ubuntu). (I run #nextcloud, a custom #laravel site, and some other simpler stuff) So far, I've started using #linode, and also have been learning that migrating from mysql/mariadb to #postgresql may have been too ambitious an idea.

limtak: linux is more than a kernel

Because when we say #mobileLinux, we don't mean android or another locked-down platform.

LIMTAK: Linux In my Mobile: Tool Against Kludgery

A kludge is a makeshift solution to a computer problem. Time-based obsolescence (by outdated cas, un-upgradable emoji fonts) was a mistake baked into many software platforms. This tool frees us from it.

Hey fediverse! I'm called Zach, and yes, I love technology. Started coding as a kid writing #nds games using #PAlib, got into programming #microcontrollers. Spent several years doing #fullstack web development and some #devOps, looking to expand my skills and gain new experience.

Technology should (at least) do one thing well, and (necessarily) be there when you need it.
