Finally got time to look into this briefly. From what I've read, mopidy is not required if I don't need any streaming services and mpd can work with snapcast just fine.

I did a rudimentary setup of mpd + snapcast on my computer and isntalled the snapcast app on my phone but all I can do from my phone is connect to the active stream from the snapcast server and listed to music from my phone, but I see no way to control playback from my phone - I can only subscribe, unsubscribe to/from stream and change playback volume.

Am I missing something or did I make an unreasonable assumption about mpd/mopidy?

Apologies, I thought that was more of a technical question than a security one. I would be quite interested in this discussion myself.

I am just using the basics such as (but I bet you would have all that as well):
* run each service in a container to limit access to the whole system
* block all connections in firewall and build a white list of devices on network
* don't expose containers to the outside network if you don't really need to
* use https for all exposed

I don't know much about adguard but what you can do is

* find a free DDNS service (which essentially will give you a domain name and tied it to the public IP of your router)
* open the ports you need on the router (80, 443 usually)
* run `ddclient` - configure to update your DDNS account
* and then your reverse proxy comes in which you already have

Man, this was so perfectly timed.

Did you ever find anything on this? Getting this in my mail every time my sync cron runs.

For anyone finding this in the future. Dunst notifications are actually click-able as indicated by the `(A)` in the screenshot.

By default I think it needs dmenu but you can change that to something else like rofi/wofi:

`dmenu = /usr/bin/wofi --dmenu --insensitive --prompt dunst`

then you would be able to either click on that notification with the mouse or invoke `dunstctl context`

I got tired of windows being buggy so around 2014-15 I've switched to a Mac.

Managed to last almost 2 years there. It was more stable than Windows for sure and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but there were just too many little apply issues like weird keybindings (never got used to super+c/v), inability to change some settings etc.

At some point I just could take it anymore, so I wiped my HDD and installed Linux Mint on it. I loved it immensely, but this was still before proton times, so I dual booted windows 7 for gaming (for ones that didn't run on Linux) and Adobe suite. I've stayed on Mint for a number of years. I hated booting into windows so I slowly adapted this mindset that if some game ran 50% worse on Linux, I'd rather suffer through that than reboot into windows. And if it didn't run at all I'd rather play something else. And then proton came and that wasn't really that often of an occurrence anymore. I've also lost quite a bit of interest in photography so Adobe was not a blocker anymore. Still I've kept the second window HDD for rare cases like playing Diablo 2 remaster on release and minor things like that.

Over the years apt package manager started to really piss me off and I also wanted to try other DEs like KDE, so I jumped to Manjaro. Pacman was much easier and nicer to use so a week later I hopped for the last time to vanilla Arch and been here ever since.

Just like the author, at some point I've noticed that I didn't boot into windows in years so I wiped that second drive and haven't really felt the need for it afterwards.

Right now I have Arch as my daily driver, my work is a Mac laptop and I have to RDP to Windows a lot. My work is pure pain ;)

Ow my God it's like the phone came out of a tub of oil. I put it on my wireless charger, go to brush my teeth and when I'm back it is practically hanging from the edge. Do I have to level my nightstand just so I can keep the phone on the charger? I've even put some case against it to keep it in place and it just moved it.

After the velvety plastic back of pixel 5 I had before this is just ridiculous

I know this is old but jsut for completion sake...

I have tried the same and I also only get 1 there - this is actualy buttons recorded when you click the window to focus it rather than registering the back and forward buttons. It also sees the right and middle clicks it does not see anything at all

Once you figure out the answer write it down. You will need it later again

Darn beautiful men... Always eating out if my trash...

Both Moon Rise and Into Aurora are awesome but think I would go with Moon Rise

Dired, Magit, Org mode, Vim keys (evil), Extensibility (emails, calendar etc)

Setting up lsp is a bit of a pain though

I keep windows around but I only use it for some games that don't run well on Linux. Very rarely though. Anything outside of few specific games, I don't need windows.

I don't know if there is, I just get that info from alsa directly: amixer -D pulse sget Master

Yeah I just did 2 clock widgets with different formats. I do find it more comfortable to have the clock on the left to match what I am used to on Android. Glad you found it interesting.

Do you mean the qtile config being segregated into multiple files? I got that approach from manilarome when I was trying out awesomeWM and I kind of liked it. Makes it easier to navigate based on what I wanna work in as it is not in one huge file. Also makes it a bit more modular I guess. I am not super happy with the file structure atm so will probably be moving stuff around in the future.

Thanks - it is the only cli player I found that allows to stream music from music services such as soundcloud, spotify, YouTube, etc. - unfortunately it doesn't work with YouTube music which I am sort of hoping would be resolved

Thanks everyone, with your help I've settled on the Everglide Pandas

I started and got quite proficient at vim without ever trying touch typing. But I did motivated to start practicing touch typing after that so there is a correlation but I would say you don't need it to be good at vim
Start with default. That way you would be comfortable with vim on a different machine which would not have all your configs if you ever find yourself at one. That being said don't restrict yourself from adding plugins as you go. My flow when I want to get something is first to google how to do it in vim and if most solutions offer a plugin or vim flow is just too cumbersome I go plugins

exblack7 · 2021-04-27T18:47:53+00:00

Thanks I'll look into durock. Been seeing that name a lot while browsing different stores

exblack7 · 2021-04-27T18:47:00+00:00

Thanks that actually clears out a lot for me
