I repurposed the tiny xdotool script, I whipped up yesterday, to solve some pesky Emacs frame issues I was facing.

I got around some pesky Firefox errors when I would run profiles as part of #LinuxMint’s webapp manager.
Spoiler alert: #xdotool came in really handy!

I don’t use or know #ImageMagick at all, but joining images? I never thought I’d use it as much as I did. But it’s infrequent enough that I’d documented it a while back. And it saves my behind every time 😂

I am a light mode in the day and dark mode eve onwards person.
And of course I want my @linuxmint to automatically change themes for me. As of now, it natively does not.
and so tada: S L Gobinath’s Dark Mode applet to the rescue.
While I don’t quite get the iOS-esque automatic sundown switch, aleast now Mint switches to dark mode automatically at 6 in the eve.
Thank you so much, Sir!

finally enabled #Syncthing’s introducers. on *one* machine. after close to five years of using it.
i have enough devices now that redoing them is a giant pita otherwise
it confused the hell out of me when I did it last. machines would keep offering me folders and i would not know what came from where 😂
now i know enough of how I use syncthing to know that enabling introducers on one machine is enough.
Watching shared folders propogate painlessly is so amazing! Thank you #Syncthing

Moved my itty bitty #Lenovo #IdeaPad1 laptop to Manjaro today with KDE
everything worked except for the touchpad. a little bit of web fu led me to blacklisting the elan\_i2c module
added blacklist elan\_i2c to blacklist.conf in the /etc/modprobe.d directory and then all was well :)

been using #ArchLinuxArm and #ManjaroArm (because Arch panicked on that Pi) since June on two Pis.
Enjoying it so far.
Will definitely use it more. Have gotten over my fear of Arch based distributions and rolling releases
The only thing that is left to see, is how quickly I recover when everythng goes wrong. (if it matches my slow deb distribution based recovery, I’m happy)

Tried configuring a network connected printer on two #Linux machines this past week. One unnamed and the other @linuxmint.
The unnamed machine took nearly a day to configure, with looking up packages and ports and HCL lists and driver packages and what not.
#LinuxMint on the other hand went, “Hello there, you have a printer on the network! Want to print to it? Also that thing’s got a scanner too, want to be able to use it? Done and done!”
Took all of 5 seconds.
Thank you @linuxmint

Been enjoying #QuodLibet as my audio player / local music library for close to 3 years now.
It’s no frills, no fuss, rock solid stable!
Handles my large-ish library of god knows how many formats.
Never gets in the way of my listening.
Big Thanks to Joe Wreschnig, Christoph Reiter & Co over at https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet
