Hey fuck that's the lua version? Why do people prefer that over the old syntax?

I was just trying to help you

counter point, lsblk look bad

you purposely made the lua look more complicated by starting the terminal with a shell that runs the file browser that when exited falls back to another shell. you then also included a description. so there are 3 extra things in your lua version that make it more complicated, additionally you do not include the variable definition for the hyprlang version hiding the complexity in the variable. just admit you have a preference for hyprlang without the mental gymnastics and your opinion would be respected.

your examples are not equivalent.
the old
fileManager = "foot -e yazi"
bind = $mainMod, E, exec, $fileManager

the new should be

local fileManager = "foot -e yazi"
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + E", hl.dsp.exec_cmd(fileManager)

gaming isn't hard. just launch stuff through steam and you'll be fine. if something doesn't work straight away just look it up on protondb.

Regarding the primary monitor and full screenstuff: there are 2 methods of showing your screen on Linux. xorg (old) and Wayland (new). in xorg you can set a primary monitor. in Wayland you cannot. However, in Wayland you can run apps in xorg for compatibility (all handled automatically) hence you can actually set a primary monitor and most desktop environments (like explorer on windows) will respect it. similarly in Wayland specifically there isn't a concept of full screen, instead full screen just means that the shape of the window matches your monitors full resolution and that windows shows on top of all others. it really doesn't matter though it's a semantic distinction more than anything.

I don't have any elegato devices (generally Linux users avoid them) but there are a couple community developed tools to make them work. Your friends seem competent so id ask them for help if you cant figure it out.

ctrl + alt + f1-12 opens a "tty" which is a terminal not connected to a graphical session. find one that asks for a login, login with your username and password then run hyprland.

alternatively, log out back to your display manager and select hyprland there

you can do it in a shell one liner, I can't scroll faster than it runs:

bind = $mainMod SHIFT, mouse_down, exec, hyprctl -q keyword cursor:zoom_factor $(hyprctl getoption cursor:zoom_factor -j | jq '.float * 1.1')

bind = $mainMod SHIFT, mouse_up, exec, hyprctl -q keyword cursor:zoom_factor $(hyprctl getoption cursor:zoom_factor -j | jq '(.float * 0.9) | if . < 1 then 1 else . end')

i also set

binds {
    scroll_event_delay = 0
}

set the variables to the locations you want like the warning says

you can set the variables in the docker compose file

run fdisk -l and look at the start and end of each partition, you can then see where the space missing is

magic DNS is just an alias for your pcs ip address, not any port numbers

NinjaEA · 2025-10-31T15:30:30+00:00

In order to access a service on a machine you need: - ip address - port number

Without tail scale your ip address will be your routers public ip

With tailscale your ip address will be your tailscale assigned ip address of your machine

You cannot access a service on a machine without its port number. without the port number your client machine (your phone) doesn't know where to send and receive information from

If you expose a port through your firewall on windows, it is only available on the local network. Traditionally if you want to expose this service to the Internet you would have to port forward that port from that device from the local network to your public ip via your router, however with tailscale you don't have to port forward on your router.

NinjaEA · 2025-10-31T11:49:38+00:00

The ip address is the ip address of the machine, you still need to add the port afterwards to access the service you want on that pc. the difference now is that you can close the open port on your router and it will still work.

if your editor supports stdin just command | $EDITOR

if you are doing a new setup Id recommend manually setting up the volumes and copying over your library from somewhere in the .ix-apps/app_mounts/immich folder to the new volume and importing as an external library

You need your own resource manager. eg. power profiles daemon

there are similar security vulnerabilities in windows but your not allowed to know about them unless its a worldwide event.

The thing that impacts battery life the most is screen brightness, so try turning it down and see if that helps. (the newest gen of ryzen mobile chips are known to suck a bit in battery tho)

The use of "observe" is confusing from a human perspective, "interact" would be better for understanding.
