OK, this is just bazaar. I left the problem overnight and went to bed. This morning, I opened the display setup program, and the second output of my video card turned itself on. I usually don't use it and had it turned off.

The primary display then cleared up, stopped flickering. That's a new one on me! #Linux

Geary e-mail client, reborn? Kinda! Convey is built from the same code, but adds new features and a UI port to GTK4.

Pulling what little of my hair is left out...
Simple #Linux update this afternoon and now my monitor, which has been running at a resolution of 1920x1080 for the last 5 years is now flickering like crazy unless I lower the resolution to 1024x768.

None of the usual xrandr settings will fix it...

Welp. I got a drop of water on my touch pad, and now it's jumping between working, jittery, and falsely sensing a double-touch.

I hope it just needs to dry out...

There are clearly many reasons why people are switching to Vivaldi. Interestingly, my little survey shows that the top reasons have more to do with our values than particular features.

The #1 reason (77%) is the fact that we do not have built in AI. #2 is that we do not build profiles on our users (67%). #3 is that we are made in Europe. #4 and #5 is that we do not build in Crypto currencies and the built in ad and tracker blocker.

We will continue to listen to our users. We have chosen a different path to our competitors and we continue to try to do the right thing.

Thank you for your support!

I have a friend asking me a #linux question.

Anyone know of something off the shelf for this?

"Is there a reasonable way to have something 'watch' the mount, and if it fails then (1) periodically reconnect, (2) watch for any files erroneously stored "under" the mount folder, (3) if so move them to a temp folder, (4) upon reconnecting move the files to the mounted NAS? And also send me a notification over ntfy or something when this happens"

CoreOS 45 could also use a look from the community! Test Week starts on Monday, Sep 21!

Just in case you've tried to memorise the menu path to an option in the Linux kernel's "make menuconfig" you've found with "/" search and then manually navigated to it: Each search result has a number on the left side of it. Hit that number on your keyboard and it will bring you straight to that search result in the menu tree.

I was "19 years of building my own kernels" old when I just now realised that. 🤦 🤦 🤦

Microsoft's Edit snap package – maintained by a Canonical dev – was finally updated this week.

v2.0 of the TUI text editor supports syntax highlighting for over a dozen languages, adds new shortcuts for moving text around and makes Find & Replace more powerful.

(Yes, Microsoft, but it's open-source).

Head's up: Omarchy appears to have bought itself some bot swarms based on the Linux feed in Bluesky suddenly having people loudly defend it. They weren't there *yesterday*.

I guess the strategy is: don't feed the trolls. Block and move on.
