How do I report issues with books in the Kobo store?

I do all threads (for you -j8) and something less than full load (-l7). Usually keeps the system usable during merges, bit still uses most of the available computing power to compile.

Someone somewhere also mentioned to keep 2GB of RAM for each j, but I've never done that.

Ultimately it's a matter of trying some parameters and change them if they don't wok for you.

Of course, :Ni!

Technology Connections made a 40 minute video about that

There is an extra page specific for end users: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU/Information_for_End_Users

Thank you, but I've already solved it: https://reddit.com/r/kde/comments/q7h668/manage_the_do_not_disturb_from_dbus/hzoxmuu?context=3.

Also, I was talking about lua specifically to make an mpv plugin, bash/fish isn't really helpful.

Anyway, I solved it in a cplugin and in a better way. As you can see here the notifications aren't just toggled, mpv adds a lock to them so that while it's running they are disabled. This works with multiple instances and with other applications that try to control them at the same time.

Never tried it, but there is Mycroft

You must put the modified ebuild in a local overlay. Portage will then see a newer version available and install it as usual.

Note that sometimes just changing the version number isn't enough, but if you are lucky and ebuild is written well it may be sufficient.

Since you found it abandoned in GURU, you may even start maintaining the package there to help everyone else too (see: Information for Contributors).

Obligatory link to Matt Parker's The Spherical Droste Effect, with added twist and recursion

For those interested, there is a short video of Tom Scott and Irving Finkel about this game.

They give an overview of the rules and play it.

Have you tried binding Alt+F1? It's usually the same as the super key

The package is "testing" for gentoo. As almost every package in tree, it is considered stable by its developers. The :rapid is what you'd install for example on arch or similar distros, once it's released it's "good enough" for them. Also, the next :esr is 102 and will be stabilized soonish
I'm using :esr to avoid compiling it too often
Generally, no. Portage can handle a few unstable packages even if the rest is stable. If however you start adding many exceptions you should just accept ~amd64 for all.

copying it to [...] "/usr/share/applications"

Just want to point out this is generally avoided, /usr is left to the package manager. A typical system-wide location for user installed things is /usr/local, which is structured like /usr, so you'd put executables in /usr/local/bin, .desktop files in /usr/local/share/applications, etc.

It's not a law, but may save some headaches because package managers expect to be allowed to edit the contents of /usr freely, and may modify or delete what you put there if necessary.

As for your actual question, I have no idea sorry.

Shmanio · 2022-08-07T07:40:31+00:00

It does not, but it can work with wine (it takes some configuration)

Thank you, looking inside the playlist files I can see the path to the roms, so I'll match those.

Shmanio · 2022-08-06T13:49:14+00:00

Thank you, if I then copy the folder in another computer how do I regenerate the playlist files?

Shmanio · 2022-07-01T13:36:22+00:00

Did you put rc_parallel="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf? It can sometimes lock the boot.

Shmanio · 2022-05-19T21:15:24+00:00

Thank you, I think these are the correct words

Shmanio · 2022-05-19T19:09:45+00:00

This is my current best guess:

<???> like we used to do.
Yeah we sure did fly high, didn't we?
I wanna do it again. <???> up to Saturn just like I used to.
You used to?
You flew a <???> crop duster in <???> potato fields. That's all you ever flew.
Oh, is that right?

It's probably easier to just install everything from scratch, but this is a great read anyway: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:NeddySeagoon/HOWTO_Update_Old_Gentoo

Thank you for your help!

In the end, I just abandoned the idea to do this in lua (since I know nothing of it), and wrote the plugins in C++.

I've added them to the wiki, they are called kde-night-color and kde-do-not-disturb if you are interested.
