  • Long live Firefox and high praises to all those who develop, maintain and package it.

    Release notes: “Firefox now defaults to the Wayland compositor […] It is also a known issue that windows are not correctly placed when restoring a previous session on launch.” I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strengths was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?




  • Here’s a few I enjoy using that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

    • Phonograph Plus: elegant music player using Material UI design
    • Etar +ICS² : Etar is a nice-looking calendar app that uses Material UI design, and ICS² enables me to sync the Holiday Calendars provided on Thunderbird.net.
    • Etar+ DAVx² + NextCloud : enables syncing my local Etar calendar(s) with any NextCloud instance (using CalDAV). DAVx² also allows for syncing my Android contacts to NextCloud (using CardDAV)
    • AnySoft Keyboard: extremely customizable, varied keyboard layouts, for those who want all punctuation marks and quote signs built-in.
    • Irregular Expressions: alternative keyboard for goofing around with unicode textstyles (🅒🅘🅡🅒🅛🅔🅢, 𝕺𝖑𝖉 𝕰𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖍 𝕭𝖔𝖑𝖉, Extra wide, etc.)
    • Simple Notes : minimalist “note to self” memos.


  • RethinkDNS (firewall, proxy and dns all in one [I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config])

    Thanks for sharing, I’m looking into RethinkDNS, and I’m not surprised it tries to establish a VPN tunnel to perform its duties. Thing is my phone already has a VPN client, which happens to be Mullvad. What exactly do you mean by “I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config”?
