UK ISO stickers for 2. Layout (lemmy.ml)
 

Sorry for cross posting this here, but I didn't get any answer until now and i thought selfhosters might be another good place to ask, as they often are tinkerers one way or another :)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/42400556

Do you have any recommendations for keyboard stickers to mark a second layout?

For programming I really like to use the UK ISO layout, so I am looking for small stickers to mark all the keys that diverge from the built in german layout.

Thanks in advance!

Backups.. Pull or Push? in c/linux@lemmy.world

I also thought about this, but instead of letting the NAS pull the backups, just let the NAS ping the local machine whenever it gets powered on.

This way, the local machine would know, when it's time to push.

    I switched from Arch btw to fedora kionite AMA in c/linux@lemmy.ml

    Ah, I did the exact same about a week ago. To be fair, I installed Kinoite on a second laptop, because I really need my working setup for the next couple of weeks. So I am not forced to use the Kinoite.

    The thing that mostly drives me back to Arch, ist that I dont really understand the different appoaches of flatpak, toolbox and the package layering, or more their specific pros and cons and when I want/have to use what, depending also on my threat model.

    I even struggled to get my Thunderbird working with my old config, because it wouldn't recognize my .thunderbird in /var/apps/net.thunderbird.Thunderbird/...

    Although Fedora has a quite good documentation, which I read with joy (which is not usual) I feel that I am missing some graphical depiction, or something :D

    I think the last 2 days I didn't touch this, because I was thinking about writing a lemmy post, with the following:

    1. What are the most obvious things one has to learn/understand, before switching from arch to immutable (esp. kinoite) ?
    2. What steps in your workflow changed, and how do you feel about them? Like do you like them? Is it annoying, but you know it's for good so you still do it? Do you really don't like something?

    Thanks for your post, it came just at the right time :D

    Medium and alternative write/reading plattforms (lemmy.ml)
     

    I like to stumble through the internet and read about stuff that asked myself earlier, or just enjoy to be catched by another nichy topic I have never thaught about.

    Thus, I find myself quite often on various blogs, lemmy, mastodon and: Medium.

    The anoying point is of course, that you have to pay for the most articles, which I dont want to comment on, here. The writers will have their reasons. But it's anoying to not only have to look for interesting stuff to read, but also always hope, that the writers made it available for free.

    I also thaught about just paying the 5$/month but what about the various other platforms with the same problem. Pay X subscriptions?

    So the question is, whether there is an equivalent platform, that is dedicated for writing free articles exclusively, so that you know, you dont have to click through 10 articles until you find one thats not behind a paywall?

    What do you use/subscribe for platforms other than you social media feeds and big newspapers?

    What do you prefer: icon view or detailed list view? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

    I think it heavily depends on the files one has to browes the most. I deal with text files all the time, so i dont need an icon to jump in my face telling me, that its a text file.

    The media-, design people I know love the previews that icons give them, because its much easier to spot the image file, they are looking for while scanning through a directory
