It a nice toy.but not having a touchscreen on a laptop is not a deal-breaker for me, other than low-resolution screens (everything below roughly 200 DPI).

    The only solution is to treat the Gmail address like the address you get from your ISP: Do not use it as your main address, and only use it to communicate with the service.

    My Gmail address only exists in the Google universe. Only Google uses it to contact me and send me information and spam.

    The only thing I did is setting up a forwarding rule to forward all mails to my actual mail address where I filter and sort the mails, so I don’t need to manually check Gmail but get preprocessed information only.

    You could leave the port on the container unchanged and just bind a random host port to the container, so the containered application doesn't know anything about the changed port.

    If people are hurt enough, they will push towards it.

    While I totally disagree with both, there are distributions without systemd and there are NEW projects that keep X11 alive and shun Wayland.

    Something like this could happen with the Kernel. I’m not the one doing it because while I dislike Linus’ pro-slop stance I don’t really care enough for actively working on something like that..

    But if available I’d install it instead of the slop Kernel.

    My desktop computer monitor is a 28 inch 4K screen, so yes, it is on the upper end of the median screen size, I guess. I ran Hyprland on my laptop (13 inch 1080p) for some time but I like my environment harmonized, so I use the same configuration there, too.

    For easier management I make use of labwc’s areas and snapping feature to have windows proportionally the same size on both screens. The areas use percentages by default, which makes it quite easy. I have top, bottom, left, and right, the four corner quarters and two different center regions.

    On my laptop I usually only use the center region for the browser.

    Using Waybar I have a detailed clock and a sound widget on bottom right corner of my screen, and left of that is space for “systray” icons.

    My windows have a title bar, that show the icon and title, and a close button.

    No task bar or other navigation elements on the screen or the windows.

    I make heavy use of Alt+Drag actions for resizing moving windows around and constantly have windows rolled up so only the title bar is showing. I never minimize windows and rarely use fullscreen.

    For accessing applications in a convenient way I use the root menu on desktop rightclick and the client menu on middleclick.

    The whole setup is fully customized and built from ground up to be as least annoying and intrusive as possible.

    This is basically my setup since ca. 15-20 years now. Started with Openbox on Debian and since 2008 Arch Linux, and around 2-3 years ago I switched over to labwc on Wayland which allowed me to re-create what I used on Openbox.

    While doing the 10 years anniversary expedition the planets are plastered with communication beacons, bases, and other stuff that totally destroys the immersion.

    I turned off multiplayer but all those things seem to stay.

    I get that NMS is a multiplayer-first experience nowadays but how can I immerse myself in the old “last traveler” idea?

     

    Hey!

    I basically want to replace the Google Authenticator app in style and functionality:

    1. List all TOTP tokens and their validity time (with a name and order I decide).
    2. Allow me to periodically or on change back up the whole thing to some off-site storage, keeping the last N backups.
    3. Have a native app for Android or an actually good PWA.
    4. Don’t do magic bullshit like fetching icons, hide tokens, etc.
    5. Be actually secure (i.e. don’t roll your own auth)
    6. Just be a TOTP manager, and nothing more! No, I’m not interested in a password manager, thank you. I also don’t want any other OTP methods I don’t use.
    7. Don’t be a one-man projects where the availability is not clear in >1 year.

    Any experience is welcomed. Thank you!

    Edit: Thanks for all the great ideas, I just set up 2FAuth which seems to be the most minimalist and single-feature thing to self-host. I’ll evaluate how it performs but keep a backup in Google Authenticator. It does not match #7 but it seems to be actively used by the author and gets constant updates and fixes, so it’s most likely fine, I guess.

    There is a 3rd-party app for it, but this app seems to be pretty much dead (last release in July 2025 and not in any app store) – or at least not released anymore but still worked on but only in the repository.

     

    When using the built-in translation functionality I get horribly bad results for my use case (translate to German). So bad in fact that some texts become nearly unreadable gibberish. It feels like how machine translations were 20 years ago.

    I know that Firefox’s translation system works with offline data only and locally on my machine, and thus is very, very, very limited compared to specialized systems like DeepL – and even the common LLMs.

    But I wonder: Is there a way to improve the system? Can I feed it more data to make it better? Can I do more than just download the translations in the settings?

    I know I can always use extensions for sending pages or text to the common online translation services, but since Firefox has that built-in I’d love to use it – but it needs to return better results.

    Any ideas are welcome!

    Thank you and vielen Dank :)

     

    So, yeah, basically the title …

    I am in search for a good and simple and modern font viewing application. But there seems to be nothing that matches my criteria.

    • The software needs to be independent from any desktop environment, because I don’;t use one and i am not willing to install what feels like hundreds of specific dependencies

    • The software also should not be a font manager, I can manage my fonts absolutely fine by my own.

    • The software also does not need any features to view “installed and uninstalled” fonts (a term I come across – whatever that means), just give it a file name as parameter and view that font in the GUI.

    • The software should not be dead (i.e. last upstream change over a decade ago, using a dead graphics toolkit, not working on Wayland, etc.).

    But either I forgot how to search the web or there seems to be no such application. All I wound was either decades old, dead software, or overly complicated and complex font managers or modules for the two common desktop environments.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance :)
