about:blank with a dark theme is the only new tab experience I will ever use.

Totally agree! I hope my comment wasn’t taken as a negative. I am biased but there are several EU projects that are looking so promising and primed to actually compete with SpaceX which should bring healthy accelerated advancements.

For me, even on X11, it’s hit or miss if the copy actually makes it to the clipboard. I’d say 50:50 I can paste the image or I have to clip again.

I could be wrong and biased but it could just be that the US is so far ahead in the commercial space… uhhh… space. EU has been piggybacking (and paying for) US company launches because their programs have not caught up yet. They’re getting there but setbacks keep happening.

I have been thinking about starting a blog.

Any recommendations for self-hosted blogging? The setup itself might be worthy of a post :)

It’s hit or miss. Really depends on the software requirements, versions of wine, your system in general, etc.

For example; I used the streamer.bot Linux install script to successfully install a new wine prefix that runs the app great. This requires dotnet48 and other dotnet dependencies. But it only worked after several failed attempts because I had to downgrade wine to 9.0 from 9.1 on Debian 12. I’ve since moved to arch and no matter what version of wine I’m running, the program will not work anymore even as fresh install. I’ve yet to fully diagnose what’s wrong.

Good tips, but how does one practice them? Often times I see advice along the same lines but no offers on how to improve these skills.

ddcutil is a daily driver for me, lightweight, hyper compatible, full monitor control. I primarily use it to lower brightness at night but also constantly switching inputs with simple macros so I can share multiple monitors with multiple systems.

Discord and Steam flicker / render weird and I get massive input lag for seemingly no reason just trying to use almost any app. I stick with x11 and have little to no issue now that the Firefox offset cursor regression was fixed. I’m running a 3090 on EndeavourOS.

I’m just waiting to see what Kate Lowerton has to say about all this.
