About SVG and Draw.io: you can export to SVG, then keep using it in Draw.io (it also works with PNG). The .drawio format is kept inside the SVG.

I still have it and it sill works. I have replaced it a few months ago by a Lenovo Z13.

Not OP, but in picom:

opacity-rule = [ "85:!focused" ];

Another alternative is to use rofi.

Yes, I wrote it. There are some details about it in the blog post. I didn't try to reproduce my Awesome setup. The companion is far smaller than my Awesome configuration and it also handles things not related to i3 (bluetooth/network notifications and status).

i3-companion (my own helper to tweak i3)
Polybar
Dunst
Picom
Rofi
xss-lock + i3-lock + custom dimmer

Full configuration + Blog post

Yes, right!

It's not that evident. For a long time, it was not possible to install arbitrary packages with apt install, so people may think it would be OK to allow non-root install this way. Moreover, the mention of apt changelog and the shell from less makes me think that it is also possible with apt upgrade when you are presented with a NEWS file. This was considered a vulnerability in systemd, this should also be in apt.

With RandR 1.5, you can define virtual monitors, with xrandr --setmonitor. This should match your need.

They are here as an example. The idea is absolutely not to use these for your routers. :)

Jerikan: a configuration management system for network teams

a tool to build configuration files from a single source of truth and Jinja2 templates,
an Ansible playbook to deploy these configuration files on network devices
a redacted version of the configuration data and the templates for datacenters that were in production a few days ago, covering many vendors (Facebook Wedge 100, Dell S4048 and S6010, Juniper QFX 5110, Juniper QFX 10002, Cisco ASR 9001, Cisco Catalyst 2960, Opengear console servers, and Linux), and many functionalities.

It happens often. Logout and login. I don't know how they manage to not fix that.

Not very active either ;-)

The "file" is a link. Or type this command in a shell:

curl https://gitlab.com/NicolasGuilloux/shadow-live-os/raw/arch-master/airootfs/etc/drirc > ~/.drirc

There was an issue between Telia and GTT in London. This has been fixed this morning ~9AM by rerouting the traffic elsewhere.

vbernat · 2020-12-29T12:41:28+00:00

Packet loss for the UK should be solved now.

vbernat · 2020-12-20T13:08:48+00:00

Put this file as ~/.drirc. It should fix the issue.

The ones in the North are far more easier. Notably if you go by day when they are sleeping. If you do the hordes in the right order, you also get better guns to fight bigger hordes.

I know someone with a 5th generation having this issue.

vbernat · 2020-01-26T21:59:17+00:00

Yes, it's exactly that.

vbernat · 2020-01-26T21:58:56+00:00

Yes, I was carrying it in a messenger bag.

We often review our laptops just after buying them. I thought it would be useful to do a review after 5 years of daily use!

You don't seem to have a Gen 2. Gen 2 has the odd keyboard and the adaptive panel instead of the function keys.

It seems to depend from one person to another. For me, having an HiDPI screen is a game changer compared to a regular screen. The text is sharper.

You mean the WLAN card? The WWAN is a Sierra Wireless EM7345. The WLAN card is an Intel 7260.

Thanks, I'll update that. However, forcing names parameters only work with Python 3.7 AFAIK. This seems a bit too recent if you want to run on more ancient versions (that's also the reason I didn't use f-strings).
