I wish I could switch to Inkscape, but it’s not there yet.
It is really good lately and only getting better, but there are 2 major issues I have with Inkscape.
Tabs (as in, tabulation, the \t character) in text objects. You can find workarounds, like splitting your text into multiple objects and aligning them on your canvas, but it’s just not as good as being able to align your text using proper text alignment tools. Tabulation doesn’t work in Inkscape because it’s not in SVG spec, AFAIK.
Object styles. Again, there are workarounds, but they’re not as good. Can you create a text style called “numbering”, use it to number a lot of stuff in your document, then just change font family (or make it italic, or bold) all of the numbers at once by changing the “numbering” style? I don’t think it’s currently possible. Sure, inkscape is not a word processor. But can you make an object of style “banner” with a blue gradient fill, orange 2 px stroke and 50% transparency, use it multiple times, then when you need to change from blue gradient to red gradient just change the “banner” style? Again, there are ways to achieve this, but if you do this kind of stuff, inkscape is just not ready to replace your tools.
Don’t get me wrong, I really want to switch to FOSS all the way and wait for these things to get implemented. As soon as they’re there, I’ll be the first to make the switch. But it’s not now, unfortunately.
If I’m wrong, I’ll be happy to stand corrected.
Arch never broke for me.
Unless you seek trouble and do stuff without knowing what you are doing (like blindly copy pasting commands from internet into your terminal), it generally just works.
It’s not as good as those distros where all packages come preconfigured for you to work nicely together, so if you want to build a custom system (like, choose your DE/WM/panels/widgets etc), you have to configure all of that to intergate nicely. But you could always just install KDE and everything is pretty stable there, same as in any other KDE based distro.
Do you know if OP is the dev of the app?
Oh, I have found pwnat before, but it’s not available for windows, also most people say that it doesn’t work anymore because most routers patched the behavior that made it work IIRC.
What’s the easy way to know if two peers are directly connected without measuring ping time and guessing?
Thanks.
I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it’s similar to what tailscale does?
Too bad my friends from Russia can’t connect to me, it might be because we are doing something wrong, but most likely wiregueard is somehow (DPI?) blocked in Russia.
I can connect to my own wireguard, it routes all my traffic and I can access any blocked sites, as well as access other people via «local» IPs over wireguard. I think this uses NAT traversal and we exchange data directly over wireguard. But somehow some friens are not able to use that.
Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?
If you are good with all of this stuff, can you tell me if usijg bore relays traffic or creates some kind of direct (P2P?) connection between devices?
I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?
In other words, is bore good to play with friends when games use a method if connection via IP when you have a server with public IP, but host a game on your local device without public IP?
We are currently using yggdrasil for this and connect via «local» IPv6.
Are you just posting a link, or an author?
Is it trying to solve any problem that is not solved by rsync/rclone?
Don’t get me wrong, I love new tools, just curious how is it different (better or worse) from rsync?
Depending on your phone / android version / launcher this cab mean different things I guess.
On my phone (MIUI) a dot like that means this is a new app, after you launch it a few times using that icon (using icon, not by other means like jumping into app from a notification or via opening a link) that dot disappears.
Others told about snapdrop, sharedrop, localsend etc.
But depending on what devices you are talking about, you might do with just an http server.
I have a file manager on my (android) phone with a http server built in, and my laptop is connected to it via WiFi hotspot all the time. I just start a server on my phone and use a browser or any other download tool (curl, wget) to transfer files from my phone to my laptop.
If you have python installed, you can run an http server on any device you have (for example, a laptop) via python -m http.server
and access your files from any other device on the same network by manually typing your local IP into a browser.
True, Lemmy (and activitypub in general) could integrate RSS and also be accessible via NNTP.
Or at least add some functionality for offline reading/posting. It’s just not a priority for devs now.
About spam, most of spam was coming from Google groups and since Google unpeered from Usenet, there is no spam.
Probably it would be better to edit my comment, but I’ll go with a reply to myself.
To all fans of RSS: there’s this service called FeedBase that is essentially a RSS to NNTP gate. You add your RSS feed to that and it becomes a newsgroup on their server, and you can subscribe to it using any NNTP client. New articles appear as new posts in that newsgroup and you can post your own replies to them. So, you get RSS but with discussions or comments.
If you try this, let me know what RSS feeds you’re reading, so we could read the articles together and have some discussion there!
P.S. This comment is not an ad. I genuinely love feedbase and use that myself.
Others have said already, but XMPP and RSS. Also, nobody mentioned NNTP yet.
I wish everything was accessible by NNTP and we had better NNTP clients. NNTP is like RSS but for forums (so, Lemmy, Reddit, or anything where you could reply to posts). Download for offline reading, read in your client, define your own formatting, sorting, filtering, your client, your rules.
If Lemmy was accessible via NNTP, I could just download all posts and comments I’m interested in and reply to them without any connection, and my replies would get synced with the server later when I connect to WiFi or something.
Is there a link to this talk (or interview, or whatever this is) but in a video format, or at least a text without all those «SEE ALSO» self ads?

For future readers: if you want something like Rimworld, but with a fantasy setting instead of SciFi, there’s Dwarf Fortress. But yes, it can be confusing, so Rimworld is easier to get into, as it’s more user friendly.
Yeah, I just downloaded a few communities from AUR, they run really well under Plasma 6.
Have you never tried to download a community?
