    • Project mention: Windows 11 now comes with its own adware | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24

    Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based).

    The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root filesystem is read-only, and you use "pet" containers (on docker, podman, whatever) to do your work in. Applications are either sandboxed via Flatpak, or installed/run inside your pet containers. If your pet container dies, you cry about it for a moment, and when you're ready you get a new one - your actual os and other containers remain unaffected.

    I use distrobox[1] to create/run the pet containers.

    It's a little more than that, they then added subpixel and momentum scrolling support to Chrome that bypasses X11 and does something custom [1]. Integration problems like this one that require a bunch of coordination are harder to do in open source land.

  • wireguard-install

    • Project mention: Ubuntu defaults to wg0 instead of eno1 after installing Wireguard | /r/Ubuntu | 2023-07-12

There are other icon themes which allow folder colour switches. Also there is no need for an extension, says the vanilla Gnome user 😉

    • Project mention: Some web pages are not loading properly | /r/india | 2023-05-07

    I am using arch linux. For me github is loading very slow and sometimes web pages are not loading properly. For ex this github repo - https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi keeps on loading and even after loading some images (like the drop down images) doesn't load properly. Only facing this problem with github and no other websites. Tried to go to github on my mobile (jio) and facing the same problem. Anyone having the same problem ?

  • airgeddon

    This is a multi-use bash script for Linux systems to audit wireless networks.

    • Project mention: Hacking WiFi 101: basic concepts, terminology, and a real-life example | dev.to | 2024-04-03

    Known tools (scripts) that are used to exploit WPS vulnerabilities are Reaver and Bully. Another great automated tool is Airgeddon. With some luck, you will be able to run these tools on vulnerable access points (or network repeaters, which are usually vulnerable to WPS attacks) and retrieve the key.

  • polybar-themes

    A huge collection of polybar themes with different styles, colors and variants.

    • Project mention: WiFi and Ethernet disconnecting on Asus X670E-E (AX210 / I225-V) | /r/archcraft | 2023-07-05

    I did try other kernels and what worked with me is to basically create a custom arch install. There seems to be a specific kernel/driver combination that works well with the WiFi/Ethernet drivers on my board and I can't just force some wifi drivers on the current kernel (I think 81.ucode is the latest one for the wifi but its using a version lower than that which I've already tested by force loading). For now I'm very much thankful that you can basically study and copy Archcraft's code/packages/configs (and my backups as well) and set it up on my custom arch install though it did take a few hours but I probably managed to restore 90% of my previous setup as everything is already on github. As a bonus, I did use u/adi1090x polybar-themes as well (https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes) and study to integrate that pywal effect and basically add and integrate that on top of the default themes. But its just too cumbersome to edit one by one rather than having an already available distro so I'm still hoping for a permanent fix if any of you guys have an idea.

  • todo.txt-cli

    ☑️ A simple and extensible shell script for managing your todo.txt file.

    • Project mention: Ask HN: What products other than Obsidian share the file over app philosophy? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-03

    FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.

    https://fsnot.es/

    todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

    http://todotxt.org/

    And of course pretty much all of *nix.

  • photoshopCClinux

    Photoshop CC v19 installer for Gnu/Linux

    • Project mention: Windows feature that resets system clocks based on random data is wreaking havoc | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-17

    Unless you need the newest features, Photoshop runs surprisingly well under Wine - and I don't mean this in the usual "oh yea, Wine totally works" way where it's a huge pain to set up and is 90% luck, it actually runs with barely more glitches than on Windows (not zero, but it's Adobe software, so you can't expect much).

    This is the installer I used to use: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

    This one is newer and looks even more promising: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux
