Gnome merges XDG session management wayland protocol (but disabled in Gnome 47 by default)
  • Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application?

    That's up to the application.

    If not, I'll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for.

    I believe this is for storing the position of specific windows, for multi-window applications (e.g. GIMP's multi-window mode). So hibernation is very unrelated.

  • Linux's Bedtime Routine
  • On Asus motherboards you can enable 'Memory Context Restore', and it'll remember the training. Unfortunately it seems rapid changes in the weather make my system unstable with it on.

  • Buying a refurbished/second hand Framework: security issues?
  • Just to freak you out, I've played around with the EC on my Framework, and it really wouldn't be hard for someone to create a modified firmware with a key logger built in or something. But AFAIK the EC doesn't have internet access or a way to screw with the OS, so it would be mildly pointless without accompanying software.

    Modifying the BIOS seems slightly more difficult, although I think some Frameworks are still vulnerable to LogoFAIL.

    I wouldn't worry about extra chips, they'd either be quite noticeable that they shouldn't be there, or too expensive to be wasted on a stranger.

    So the chances are, unless you've got some proper enemies, it's fine. I'd definitely update the BIOS (which also updates the EC), and fresh install Windows/Linux, but that's as far as I'd go.

  • My debugging experience today: Quantum Debugging
  • I've seen some that activate an insane number of breakpoints, so that the page freezes when the dev tools open. Although Firefox let's you disable breaking on breakpoints all together, so it only really stops those that don't know what they're doing.

  • X.org: no screens found
  • That looks to be Volcanic Islands, which has good support with amdgpu and no support by radeon, according to Wikipedia.

    I'm not sure what you meant by "set up radron kernel driver", but you could maybe try blacklisting it.

  • QR code rule
  • Maybe, but also I think I was looking at the raw 'data bits', not 'binary' data. It's actually almost exactly 4GiB, even when dropping down to minimum error correction (1.7 GiB otherwise).

    (1454942×2953)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈4.00

    Edit: So if alphanumeric mode could store lowercase letters, base64 would've stored more.

  • QR code rule
  • For those wondering, when using the biggest QR code with the maximum error correction (10,208 bytes), 1,454,942 QR codes is slightly less than 14GiB, which should be more than enough for a Windows ISO.

    My math: (1454942×10208)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈13.83

    Edit: Damn another guy beat me to it, now I wonder how I'm so far off.

  • Chonk
  • Satellite imagery seems cheaper than you might think though. I've had SkyFi in my favourites for a while after they sponsored a YouTube video, and they seem to start at $8 per km2 for a new photo or $2.50 for a previously taken one.

  • Is connection from home server to cloudflare HTTPS or HTTP when using cloudflare tunnel?
  • Cloudflare tunnels uses a QUIC connection between the cloudflared on the server and Cloudflare itself, which is encrypted similarly to HTTPS.

    Whatever protocol cloudflared uses to talk to your webserver locally is configurable through the Cloudflare access web UI (just change http to https). I've actually got it configured to use unix sockets, which lets me treat it differently in my nginx config.

  • FOSS App Idea: A browser with Wireguard built in

    I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

    I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

    It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

    I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

    KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks

    This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

    [preferred] default=kde;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

    Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

    Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

    Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.
