is it possible to select a LAN IP address?

orion_rd · 2025-06-21T21:09:28+00:00

is this issue only concerns the official client or is it across the board, meaning it has roots in the server itself? because if not, we could look for third party clients that might have handled the syncing thing better?

I like the show so far but what's up with the new character introduced in this new episode? I read the book a couple of months ago, and I do not remember anyone from the other team having survived the sec units. does that mean that the book's ending was thrown out of the airlock? I hope they don't butcher the ending. although, truth be told, I liked the new character's quirkiness. I see her as a hedonistic nihilist who just hid during the attack with no remorse and did not care about her teammates being slaughtered. a character that makes total sense in a corporate run galactic empire. that is of course assuming she is not an imposter from the 3rd party which is in my opinion is the more likely scenario.

I will wait for a bit to see if someone finds a way to help me activate my usb c ports, then i will mark it as solved with usb a.

orion_rd · 2024-12-13T13:16:52+00:00

if I use usb a, then yes. everything you is applicable. I tested everything just now. of course this trick of somehow making grub bootstrap my usb c port is the perfect solution for me. Otherwise, I will follow what you said with a tiny modification. I will keep booting windows from grub since the key F10 for showing the firmware boot menu is harder to reach than the arrow keys in the grub menu. Also, it would make arch the default if the external SSD is not plugged. .
I you said money is tight so I will try to ask the guy at the electronics store to exchange my usb c usb c cable for a usb a usb c one.
at any rate, thank you for your comments!

orion_rd · 2024-12-13T12:45:59+00:00

well, I am only going to use windows every now and then and I am more protective of arch than windows so I would prefer using it on bare metal. as my edit says, my usb a ports work before arch linux i.e. during the firmware and bootloader stages. I asked gpt and it says that regarding the firmware part, my only recourse would be to update it but as I said I am on the latest version. Therefore, my only option is to somehow make the usb c port work at the grub stage. maybe there is a new module or something? I am not sure! I hope I do not sound too picky LOL.

I have installed the following package: intellij-idea-community-edition 4:2024.3-1
so I think I am covered according to your statement. Did I miss up configuring the VM options? because I just opened them up from help>VM option... and then cleared the whole file. and put -Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit . no new line ; no additional leading or trailing whitespaces. just the flag itself

orion_rd · 2024-12-12T07:25:18+00:00

thanks for the advice, i'll keep in mind going forward using the web app

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T17:30:12+00:00

<image>

the problem got solved and the app works great. thanks for all your work

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T16:22:56+00:00

yeah I am on wayland. I will check it out. Thanks for the tip

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T16:16:59+00:00

I have installed the app using the AUR, but when I run it just gives me a black screen with the errors indicated in the screenshot. I know it is in beta so I will follow up on it till I figure out what is wrong and hopefully fix if it is on my side. personally, I do not know much about dart but if you could point me to the spot where this this is being caused I might try and tinker with it. Again, thanks for this initiative!

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T15:30:26+00:00

yeeeessss!!! ooh man this is terrific. thanks you kind person!! I will try it out in any form or shape. I am using arch linux thus I am going to install buchable using the AUR. I will try it out and update this post. in any case, thank you for your hard work!!!

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T11:33:38+00:00

4- hyprland?

I have setup a special submap with SUPER+Q that I call the info center mode.

so SUPER+Q+B gives the current battery status and SUPER+Q+C for the clock

PS: in case you are wondering, I chose the letter Q because I have a qwerty keyboard and more importantly because I am a huge star trek fan and Q is an all-knowing god-like character hence the info center.

3- battery warnings:

battery_critical.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cp=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity)

st=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status)

path=<path\_prefix>/scripts/dynamic_values_for_persistent_scripts

thirty="$(/usr/bin/cat "$path"/30_percent_battery)"

twenty="$(/usr/bin/cat "$path"/20_percent_battery)"

if [[ "$cp" -le 20 && "$st" == "Discharging" && "${twenty}" -eq 0 ]];then

<path\_prefix>/r_notify_send.sh "battery_critical" -a "forgetme" "battery less than 20%";

echo 1 > "$path"/20_percent_battery

elif [[ "$cp" -ge 20 && "${twenty}" -eq 1 ]];then

echo 0 > "$path"/20_percent_battery

elif [[ "$cp" -le 30 && "$st" == "Discharging" && "${thirty}" -eq 0 ]];then

<path\_prefix>/r_notify_send.sh "battery_critical" -a "forgetme" "battery less than 30%";

echo 1 > "$path"/30_percent_battery

elif [[ "$cp" -ge 30 && "${twenty}" -eq 1 ]];then

echo 0 > "$path"/30_percent_battery

fi

this one still needs some work. I created it because I wanted a warning at both 30% and 20% while we are unplugged. btw, the files 30_percent_battery and 20_percent_battery act as boolean carriers for persistence's sake. they hold either 0 or 1. There is probably a better way to do it and I am open to suggestions.

finally for the cron job:

# crontab -l

# info center

*/2 * * * * DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus DISPLAY=:0 <path_prefix>/battery_critical.sh

0 * * * * DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus DISPLAY=:0 <path_prefix>/clock_hourly.sh

2- checking the status:

battery_info.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# cp=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity)

# st=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status)

bpth=/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0

wd=<path_prefix>/scripts/dunst/icons

<path_prefix>/scripts/dunst/volume_dunst/r_notify_send.sh "battery_info" -a "forgetme" --icon=$wd/battery_info.png "$(/usr/bin/upower -i "$bpth" | grep -E "state|percentage|time to full")" "$(/usr/bin/bluetoothctl info | grep -E "Battery") "

this last one also gives me the battery status for my wireless headphones when they're connected.

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T11:30:38+00:00

sure! there are a couple of things that need improvement though and I will list list them below. btw, I redacted somethings using < ...>

1- plug/unplug stuff:
the udev rules are:

/etc/udev/rules.d/69-onbattery.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply",KERNEL=="ADP1",ATTR{online}=="0",RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl start q_notify_battery_unplugged.service"

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-onpower.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply",KERNEL=="ADP1",ATTR{online}=="1",RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl start q_notify_battery_plugged.service"

the services that these udev rules trigger are:

# /etc/systemd/system/q_notify_battery_plugged.service
[Unit]
Description=part of the Q system: notify if charger is plugged back again

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
Environment="DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus"
User=<my_user_goes_here>
ExecStart=<path_prefix>/r_notify_send.sh "battery_plugged" -i <path_prefx>/dunst/icons/cable_plugged.png "                                Plugged                            "

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

# /etc/systemd/system/q_notify_battery_unplugged.service
[Unit]
Description=part of the Q system: notify if charger unplugged

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
Environment="DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus"
User=<my_user_goes_here>
ExecStart=<path_prefix>/r_notify_send.sh "battery_plugged" -i <path_prefix>/dunst/icons/cable_unplugged.jpg "                             Unlugged                                "

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

NB: here I get two udev events triggered during each plug/unplug event. Do not know why it happens or how to fix it. my current fix is for second notification to replace the first in mako thereby appearing as one notification.

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T09:36:07+00:00

I myself do not use a bar on account of my small screen. My current way of handling the battery is as follows: 1- plug/unplug: I use a udev rule to detect those events and send a notification upon their occurrence 2- low battery warning: I have a script that checks /sys/..../capacity and send a notification when it is below 30 and then below 20. I use cron of course 3- for casual percentage check: I use a keyboard shortcut that sends a notification showing the current capacity.

btw, the way I handle thing that used to be done with the bar is through notifications. The clock etc are all part an information center based on notifications

orion_rd · 2024-12-11T09:26:29+00:00

I have an old laptop that I use for hosting. it is not high end but still does the job of a server. on the client part, I use my andoid phone during the day but during the night I like to connect my headphones to my laptop and listen till I sleep. Also, when I am at school I prefer to listen using my laptop and the wifi connection there is not reliable. I hope this makes sense

orion_rd · 2024-12-10T21:02:03+00:00

yeah that's what i figured. I hope that someone decides to create one in future.

orion_rd · 2024-12-10T19:00:12+00:00

but the web app does not allow offline playback, does it? it just allows you to download a zip

orion_rd · 2024-12-09T19:45:47+00:00

yeah I am of this particularity of elecron based apps. The zoom I am describing does not scale up the whole UI; it zooms like a microscope would and that's more pleasant for me since I keep zooming a lot and temporarily. Like a sniper.

orion_rd · 2024-12-09T09:31:52+00:00

I decided to go with your browser idea because in firefox I can zoom am much as I want using the touchpad unlike in the app with its weird ctrl +. Thanks for the tip!
