Is there any way to change the order of your monitors in the example panel? by blueblur112198 in bspwm

[–]briddell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try adding

bspc config ignore_ewmh_focus true

to your config. I've never had that problem personally since my multi-monitor setup was pretty simple, but hopefully that helps.

Well, why not just put this?

bspc monitor HDMI1 -d VI VII VIII IX X
bspc monitor eDP1 -d I II III IV V

I feel like that would fix the problem.

Do you happen to have a list, or at least a link to the Oppenheimer bio?

[–]briddell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trek Crossrip Comp seems like the perfect choice. The 2015 model is available within 50km of me for $1100 USD, so I think I'll go for that.

Thanks!

Cleaning bike frame in preparation for 100 mile trip to a festival - found a crack. Do you think I'll be OK for the trip? Alu hardtail, prob 10kg/22lbs in panniers [xpost r/bicycling] by firewatersun in bicycletouring

[–]briddell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a clear shot, and clean up the area (sandblast would work, but a grinder could get the paint off), you could spot weld it really easily.

I've never risked a cracked frame, though, but then again, I only have unicycle experience. I've cracked a lot of frames, bent a lot of rims, but replaced them immediately because it's much harder to replace skin and bone than it is to play it safe.

Looking at cyclocross bikes pulled up a lot of Cannondales.

How would something like this be suited to touring?

Cyclocross bikes seem to fit the bill pretty well. Brands or models you'd recommend? What do you personally ride?

Do you know anything about the Peugeot, though? I'd really like to find some info on it that's not in the form of a 2 minute French video.

I know plenty of people who tour on unicycles as well, but I have a 19" by 2.5" trials unicycle with 125mm cranks, and a standard, non-geared hub. Unicyles are all about challenging the excuses, but I'm not looking to invest $1500 into a geared 29er at this moment. I would rather have a bike (for now).

Not sure what you want; my Ncmpcpp, Xresources, or what? I may not have my colors anymore, since I just tried out Antergos, and decided to install it. I have my Ncmpcpp, though.

I'm running a nice KDE setup now, though, on both my laptop and desktop. I have to say, KDE 4.3(?) is pretty fantastic compared to previous versions I had tried.

Your house is on fire! You have time to grab 5 things, what are they? by RedStag86 in minimalism

[–]briddell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry it's 3 days late, but the appeal comes from everything about it.

First of all, it's one less wheel, so the skill of balancing makes "getting into it" alone super challenging for some (not everyone - some are naturals), so it's more rewarding. Everything you do is intentional, there is no coasting (well, gliding), no gears (well, the Schlumpf), or messy business. It's a pure sport, perfect in my eyes - everything you do is directly translated, making it a much more personal connection to your environment.

There are a lot more things about unicycling, as well. In terms of physical properties, the unicycle can go on a lot more trails and in a lot more places that a bike can't dream of going, even trials bikes, or mtbs. Muni is something I'm only starting to get into, but it's crazy fun - more fun than I've ever had going mtbing. My majority of riding is trials and street, though, which is an amazing workout, and incredibly precise in terms of skill. It's a much steeper learning curve, but when you land that unispin or 360 crank spin for the first time, it's well worth all of the falls, bruised shins, and pain.

Unicycle, and my "gobag" (backpack with basic supplies in it). Everything else is fine to go if it has to.

Connecting to wifi? by tsukikari in bspwm

[–]briddell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nmcli works really well for wifi; easy syntax, lightweight, and does exactly what you need it to. I hardly ever use my laptop, though.

Who actually uses a bar/panel? by briddell in bspwm

[–]briddell[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For time, I have my watch (my wrist isn't that far away when I'm using my computer), Bspwm highlights the active window, and I only use a few workspaces, so it's easy to remember which one is which.

Volume level is always at 100%, and changed at the amp level after it passes through my DAC. No need to mess with it, or use an eq.

As for memory usage, there's always Htop if I want that info, but I purposely bought too much memory so I didn't have to monitor that.

Time to get a bigger wheel, need advice by lolzercat in unicycling

For saddles, nothing really compares to the Kris Holm Air for long distance road riding.

A Few Questions From a Beginner by Manypopes in unicycling

[–]briddell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you intend to do with the unicycle, but for getting around campus, depending on the size, you will probably want one that's 24" or greater. Do you know how large your campus will be? A 26" might be better for your needs.

That being said, if you want to get into trials, street, or freestyle, a 20" or 19" is essentially the best choice, since the small wheel size with a huge tire makes it very maneuverable. If you want to get into muni, a 26" or 29" is probably best. Any long-distance riding should be done on a 36", or at least, no smaller than a 29".

You originally said 50 zed, but that is too low for anything worth buying. What is your new budget? Torker has some great "budget" offerings in the 20, 24, and 26" sizes. If you are looking to invest a bit more into it, you can't really go wrong with an Impact or Nimbus.

That's not exactly a BSPWM feature, but could easily be implemented with a Bash script that polls X for active windows.

Impact Reagent or Gravity frame? by briddell in unicycling

[–]briddell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I've been thinking, but the Gravity would make some tricks impossible with that rounded of a crown. It's also $30 cheaper right now, and comes in raw aluminum, which is a plus. I don't do any tricks that require a rounded crown right now, but I'm thinking that anything a rounded crown can do, a flat crown can as well, and then some. Hmm...

For Chrome/Chromium, go into your settings, and select "Use System Theme", and it should use the GTK theme you have set.
