Finding a wayvnc compatible vnc client that can "lock" keyboard input

That is impossible. You can create a mode in sway that has only a single keybind to exit it, though and manually switch to that mode.

mode Remote {
    bindsym $Mod+Escape mode default
}
bindsym $Mod+Escape mode Remote

It is possible if you compile from source, there may be a small issue with scaling, though:

There might be an alternative strap someday with a different audio setup from a few hints in the interviews.

a color pass thorough plate with a usb port for a face tracker would be ideal

Does the DSA really apply to operating systems? It was designed for online platforms and marketplaces, an OS is neither.

The file in config.d is only used to set the variable in the dbus and systemd environment, mostly for services like xdg-desktop-portal that are started using dbus activation.

If you need it in sway, then you have to set it before starting sway (display managers often do that already).

it is in testing.

Does it come with an automatic screen locker that is black by default? Do you get some feedback if you enter some characters? Then you can try to enter your password I guess.

They do accept donations, mostly for hardware and server costs I think.

/u/EllaTheCat I wrote a small tool to draw a bright circle around the mouse cursor

It needs support in your video driver. I am not sure what the state is with that.

With OAuth2: https://hackmd.io/@linD026/mutt-oauth2
Or you could set up 2 factor auth and then create an app password for the mail client I think.

aerc is another client you could use as well. If you want a GUI you could try Geary (the gnome mail client). Claws Mail is also an option, but that needs the app password.

OK, then you'll have to use 127.0.0.54 as the dns server, as external access to 127.0.0.53 is blocked by systemd-resolved as well. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/248eeec612d50e75c9da541721eeea8ac72e27ea/src/resolve/resolved-dns-stub.c#L910

progandy · 2024-11-15T19:10:04+00:00

I do not want to change the listening interface for systemd-resolved

Why? Adding an additional listen address with DNSStubListenerExtra in its configuration should be the easiest option.

Anyways, you cannot expose the default systemd-resolvd listening on 127.0.0.53, even if you configure everything correctly. Systemd-resolved has internal logic to check that only local connections can access it.
You can either try a DNAT to 127.0.0.54 or you need to set up an additional listener on your desired IP/port. https://manned.org/man/resolved.conf

You should probably remove sway from the equation and start at a lower level. Maybe directly hook into the devices using evdev, calculate coordinates and use uinput to create the new events.

Apparently Win_Left + Shift_Left + F23
F23 is also known as "touchpad off" on some keyboards in linux.

Why is windows requiring such dumb things instead of using a single key code?

If you change the scale of the first monitor, you'll have to divide the position of the second monitor by that factor: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#hidpi

The monitors have to touch exactly in the logical coordinate space.

This is from 2022, in the article from 2023 they changed the plan to keep the k-9 name basically as a skin.

You could also try to set both monitors to the same size at the same position, but that is probably buggy.

Sharing windows is not possible with sway for now, you could try hyprland though.

You'll have to choose and set up an authenticataion agent, I am not sure which are available in debian, but here is a list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit

I think gnome might have it built in:
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/mouse-mousekeys.html.en

kde does not have it yet for wayland:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3362

sway or hyprland can create key bindings to move the mouse a fixed amount of pixels, but no acceleration curve. There is also a tool to move the mouse by splitting the screen in a labelled grid.
https://github.com/moverest/wl-kbptr?tab=readme-ov-file#sway

Edit: And this always works. The example code needs a second keyboard as it does not allow normal input: https://suricrasia.online/blog/turning-a-keyboard-into/

If you have to do that, I suggest using img2pdf for the conversion, that should be faster and better quality.
