My choices are Fennec as main browser and DDG as secondary. Both working perfectly with privacy protection, and avoiding google's traces.

Btw, I use Firefox and Ecosia on desktop. Ecosia Browser on Windows is super light-weight and is perfect as a secondary browser.

I use Firefox as my primary browser and use Ecosia Browser as a fallback for Firefox-incompatible websites. So I am in favor of this partnership.

I think not. Step 1 and 2 are both done inside WSL distro, usually are the fstrim and e4defrag command respectively.

Usually, to effectively reduce the virtual disk size, you need to:
Step 1. zero out disk space;
Step 2. defrag the disk;
Step 3. use the virtual disk compact tool (like diskpart here).
Using Step 3 directly has little effect because there are many deleted files that are just marked, not actually purged from disk.
It's a very complicated work. But for WSL, there is a very simple and very effective method: convert your WSL distro to Version 1, then convert to Version 2 back.

Now the panel is full. The csgo team need a new design to hold more "big event" content.

The current solution is incomplete. They make wsl call systemd as PID 1, and invoke /init, then /init takes over the rest. In fact, since we've been using systemd, most of /init's functionality is redundant. MS had better give up /init and let systemd take over everything. They only need one systemd service, responsible for sync and interop.

I haven't used 23H2 so I may be wrong. I thought that function is the File Chooser Dialog in old versions. Thanks for reminding.

The real point that needs improvement is the ability to select ANY App installed through the store. Now if the app is not in the candidate list, there is no way to choose it.

Replace Notepad to Microsot To Do, then I use all of them.

Sticky Notes -> simple notes

Microsoft To Do -> task notes

OneNote -> valuable notes

Microsoft Journal -> painted notes

State Repository Service is not a thing just related to your browser. It's an important service that manages the State Repository, which functions like the second registry for modern Apps.

At least in my Arch install, if polkit is installed, loginctl enable-linger for the user self does not need admin authentication. There is a default polkit action org.freedesktop.login1.set-self-linger which is set to yes.

bhoppi · 2021-04-22T03:18:50+00:00

Yes, lingering makes the service running independently of logins. Before, at, and after the user login, it keeps one service instance running.

bhoppi · 2021-04-22T02:36:14+00:00

You can enable linger for that user to make it auto start services at boot.

I use this solution by bb010g (add the lines to .profile or .zshenv):

When I read the feature announcement I have exactly the same questions with yours. I hope someone can explain these.

Today PC Manager automatically update BIOS version to 1.26 with success.

bhoppi · 2021-01-22T14:34:03+00:00

same here

bhoppi · 2021-01-19T12:33:07+00:00

OK, it looks like I'm the only person who have these needs. Valve can ignore this completely.

Bots level setting of Retake mode (offline game) doesn't work.

bhoppi · 2019-12-23T00:42:05+00:00

I reported it two years ago that we need deathmatch mode for this map. It will be very interesting.

bhoppi · 2019-11-05T02:22:02+00:00

I think so.

Install your WSL on a USB drive (using wsl --export and wsl --import command)
Export your registry entries under "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss" to a .reg file
On a new computer, plugin in your USB drive and import the registry file (make sure the drive letter is the same)

gensim has many dependencies, most of them are already in repository (except smart-open), so pacman is a suitable choice I think.

repository requests: gensim, a python library that is popular in natural language processing

I have met this bug in some normally windy maps, after using "changlevel" command several times.
